I would rather move a mountain than lengthen the item number field! YIKES! On a more serious thread, MAPICS does provide a customer item number cross reference file with COM. You can use this to build a one-to-one cross reference from your internal item to your customer's item number. In this case you have 30 characters available to define customer's item number.

Now we don't have to do it! The request came from our corporate parent. Needless to say, this is something that would be impossible for us to do ourselves correct? -----Original Message----- From: pgroeber@bellsouth.net [mailto:pgroeber@bellsouth.net] Sent: Thursday, January 23, 2003 10:00 AM To: MAPICS ERP System Discussion Subject: Re: Expanding ITNBR Field length Bryan, As a former MAPICS employee, I can almost guarantee that there are NO plans to increase this field size. It would require a massive undertaking of not just IM, EPDM applications, but COM/CSM, MRP, MPSP, PUR, etc. applications. Customers would have to reorder forms or change programs, history files would be affected - it would be huge. On top of that, if there were any requests from customers for this change, there were only a few. This change would be a huge impact for minimual gain for both the customer and MAPICS. In other words, don't look for it to change in MAPICS software. Hope this helps.
