RE: Shortage / Due Reporting

[mandis-inc@xxxxxxx]

Chuck:

The On-Time Orders (OTTO) software provides a standard reports for 
manufacturing orders, in a multi-level indented presentation, showing order 
information, component(s) due, when it is due, and from what manufacturing 
orders or purchase orders the component is being sourced.  

Additional information is available at www.mandisinc.com
