Re: Component sales to Contract Manufacturers-AGAIN

Lloyd,

I can only think of three ways to accomplish what you want to do, if I
understand your requirements.  One, set up the user defaults in COM to the
CM warehouse, then (shudder) modify the COM order entry header screen to
protect the warehouse field.  That would automatically set specific users
to the desired warehouse and they wouldn't be able to change the warehouse
ID.  If you have sufficient discipline, you could skip the modification of
the COM Order Entry header screen.

Of course, if you use CSM, you could do the same thing, and by modifying
the panel (VERY easy!) you could protect the field without doing any RPG
coding or MAPICS mods.  Much safer, much easier.

Another alternative would be to use COM_Net to enter the orders.  That has
a built in capability to lock users to a specific warehouse.  The biggest
problems there are:

1.  If you don't own COM_Net already, it's a pretty expensive solution to
this particular problem (although it sure can add a lot to your business!
But that's another story and issue).

2.  You lose a lot of entry capabilities, like terms override,
non-inventory items, AR due date, and such.  But it sure is fast!

Is this what you are looking for?

***********************************************************************
I am posting this again in hopes that I have worded it differently and
it now makes more sense.
***********************************************************************


We have what I'm hoping is not a unique problem.

Here at Ampro 99% of our manufacturing is done by CM's (Contract
Manufacturers).

Often times, when components are going end-of-life on one of our products,
we
buy up large amounts to satisfy pending orders.

We then need to sell these to our CM's.
We have a separate Warehouse to run picks, seperate Backlogs,using
Warehouse to
keep
them off of Customer Sales Bookings and Backlog reports.

Does anyone know of a way in which to restrict, on a per user/group level,
COM order entry by warehouse.

The goal being to not allow certain users/groups to enter/maintain orders
against
our Primary selling warehouse, and only to the warehouse in which we stock
these
"stockpiled" items?

Any other thoughts??


Any Ideas???
