Jeff, Not sure if this is helpful but the first thing I would need to know is what is meant by "change" item numbers? Are they trying to take one companies set of numbers and change them to the other companies set of numbers or do they simply need to reference one set to the other. In either of these situations they would need to begin by building a cross-reference between the two sets of numbers either to be used in a later conversion of the items numbers or as a continual reference (maybe loaded via the item description). The other significant question would be whether they were running EPDM vs. PDM. It may be that each of the companies involved in the merger are on something different. If you can get to the CAS Inquiry screen you can validate what applications are loaded. PDM files are ITEMASA, ITEMASB and ITEMASC. EPDM files are ITMRVA, ITMRVB and ITMRVC. Sounds like you are working with some folks who are simply concerned about the merger and possibly their positions. I have plenty of R6 documentation but I'm on the East coast so you would probably be better off if you could find some closer. Hope this helps!

Requirement is to change item numbers on somewhere between 20K and 40K of the item numbers as a result of a merger consolidation. Can ANYONE proffer documentation resources, ideas, thoughts, ideas, suggestions (I _have_ been reading archives -- which only validate my concerns!) -- esp., need CURRENT Mapics logic documentation -- client is either (1) totally out of it; (2) deliberately hiding information; (3) totally clueless; (4) you name it!?! ;*) I have yet to get them to even tell me the installed modules and they won't -yet- provide any access to the system (it's in IL, I 'm in CA). Would REALLY like to be able to walk in (9 hours or so from now) -the CA location- with at least SOME understanding of what's changed / where to look on the IL machine -- esp., since the changes of the past 2-3 years. =================== Jeffrey J Silden : Silden SOFTWARE Solutions!, Inc. 5922 Lubao Avenue : Woodland Hills CA 91367-5611 USA Voice - 818/887.6920 : Fax - 818/716.6488 - It's the silence between the notes that makes the music -- JJ Silden =================== Confidentiality Notice: This e-mail message, including any attachments, is for the sole use of the intended recipient(s) and may contain confidential and privileged information.
