Michael - all the presentations I've seen of Essentials say it is aimed mostly at those installations still below Rel 6 - trying to get them to upgrade to the latest and greatest. As Dale says, the price is very attractive, especially if you are sitting back at Rel 4 or lower or DB. If you're already at Rel 6 and have all but a couple of the Browser apps, it is not quite as good a deal; if you have Rel 6 green screen only, it is the best way to get the client-server pieces! (BTW, we aren't getting Essentials - we're already at Rel 6 and we're going to live without the few Browser apps we don't already have for a while longer. I agree with Dale - we don't need REP, so why buy it?)

I think it includes EPDM (Enterprise Product Data Mgmt), MM (Materials Mgmt), OBPM (Order Based Production Mgmt), CSM (Customer Service Mgmt), REP (Repetitive Production Mgmt - heaven knows why this is in there), PM (Procurement Management), and I think Integrator (not sure if that's part of it, but if it's not, it should be). It basically enables Browser to perform the necessary functions of standard ERP provided by green screen PDM, IM, PC&C, MRP/MPSP (at least, the user portion), Purchasing, and COM. I think that's all of them - I'm not sure. I got the ERP Essentials (aka MAPICS Essentials) on my last upgrade just to add OBPM and MM - I had the rest. The price was pretty attractive.
