RE: U-Jobs

["Eric Wolf" <eric_a_wolf@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Joan,

My customer has a few thousand MO's on the floor at one time, plus some
60,000+ item balance records with Location control.  Admittedly, the system
is not tuned properly since we just (1/2/2002) went live with the MFG piece
of MAPICS.  Their legacy system was very old.
