The "synch" problem I mentioned is that you have to be careful when
updating EPDM to PDM (or dumping the ITMRVx data into the related ITEMASx
files).  In our case, since we have the items set up differently between
the two sites (long story), if Purchasing or Engineering doesn't keep the
correct site's ITMRVx updated to ITEMASx, we get costing problems.  I saw
an earlier posting about classes on this from Jeff Snyder - interestingly
enough, he's who taught us how to keep it straight, and if the users would
keep following the procedures we developed, there wouldn't be a problem.

I didn't clear ROUTNG or PSTRUC - I guess I could (should) have done that.
 The work flow I mentioned wasn't MAPICS', or any other software - it's a
manual process.  MAPICS WorkFlow is another one I have on my plate for
sometime in the future, when I have a spare six months or so......  ;)

Dale,

What has to be done to keep everything in synch?  We have cleared the
ROUTNG
and PSTRUC files, but WcFieldS uses the WRKCTR file and they haven't
updated
the pgms to use EPDM files yet.  (MOs from WcFieldS don't put anything in
the site field of MOMAST, so we have to "fix" daily).  Only one of our six
environments uses EPDM, the others only have PDM+ installed.  And the Work
flow you mentioned is another add on?

Thanks,
Ann Neal
LeTourneau, Inc.

We know what we have to do to keep everything synched correctly, but the
users keep making errors.
The conversion was a REALLY big task - a lot of files became either
non-existant or obsolote.

Dale
