To all -

I am becoming quite dangerous with the MAPICS Integrator!

Has anyone put a custom data entry screen (either Integrator or greenscreen)
on MOMAST so that a Customer Order, Line Item and Release can be entered in
the "untouchable" fields - ORDNC, ITMSQ and RLNB respectively (we don't use
"kits", but that would be the next "linking" field if a company did use
them)? I know the CO LI Rel (MBADRExx) record only has room for one MO, and
we create about 85-90% of our MO's from CO's, so the main MO # is placed in
the CO LI Rel record, and the CO, Seq and Rel is placed in the MO header.
Our problem is tracking sample / first article MO's to the respective CO as
well as the full MO for production (we manufacture to order, so each MO
usually has a corresponding CO line item release; each CO line item release
can have multiple MO's, althoughly rarely more than two - the sample and the
"rest" of the order).

What I'm wondering is, if I give Production Control access to the MO header
fields for hand-entering the CO information for the sample MO's, what kind
of chaos I'm unleashing should the CO line item release need to be changed
or (horrors) deleted in the meantime? Anyone have any experience with this?

         Thanks in advance, Joan
