RE: AR Aging -- MAPICS-L

That sounds right - we don't use MAPICS here, so I'm relying on memory - if
MBEKREP is the file that the CUSMAS01 logical is over, it's the right one.
Note the posting about the enhancements that are in R6, and that AM Plus
apparently has real-time aging for R4 and R5.  I think it's great that,
after all these years, MAPICS is finally making a solid effort to resolve
these little annoyances that we've been complaining about for all these
years (I worked with MAPICS as a user and programmer from 1980 to 1999).

Thanks for the information. Too bad we all have to do this, when it seems
like a simple bug fix in MAPICS -- perhaps as a tailoring question to
protect systems with this modification.

Am I correct that the files to be affected are OPENAR and MBEKREP? Simply
examine the aging date for an invoice and insure that the age code is what
you expect and, if you have to make a change, adjust the totals in MBEKREP?
