Re: Re: Automating Offline Load For Inventory Transactions

I'm currently working for a MAPICS customer in Houston, TX and the night 
operator runs the Select and Edit report.  When they receive any error or 
warning messages, they simply delete the transaction and then they can do their 
backups.  Warning messages are generated when they over receive material and 
they delete those records.  This is a major training issue we are trying to 
resolve as records are disappearing and inventory is getting messed up.

Just wanted to let you know you will have to consider some retraining if you 
choose to use PMC and there are any type of messages generated.  However, when 
PM&C is used correctly it works great.
