RE: Shortage / Due Reporting

["David Kemp" <dkemp@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Greg,

System registry enrollment is already set-up.  The same user already
downloads output from IWP to the QDLS/INFOWP folder.  User also has all
object authority and all special authority needed to write to all AS/400
folders.

Any other ideas?

David

David,

Sounds like you need to add either your profile or AMAPICS to the system
directory.  The easiest way is to enroll the user as a PC user.  From
the
AS/400 Main Menu, select option 11. Client Access/400 tasks, then
options
21. Enroll Client Access/400 users.

Note that you can also specify saving to previous release on the Options
menu when prompted for method.  

Hope this helps,
-Greg

Greg,

I have never exported an IWP report to a PC file.  When attempting to do
so as you wrote, the following error message was received after PCDOWN
was entered:

8 objects saved from library IWPEXPT.

 Member PCDISKETT2 not copied to PC document.

 Function check. IWS1612 unmonitored by O#XG8135 at statement *N,
instruction  
 Text not available for message ODX0838 file O#XM0001.

 


As a result, there is nothing in the QDLS/INFOWP/EXPORT folder.  In
fact, the folder does not exist.  QDLS/INFOWP does exist as this is
where our Excel exports typically go.

Do you know why the export did not complete?

David

David,

This sounds like a great solution to Chuck's problem.  Would you be
willing
to share your work with him (and others in this forum)?  The reports and
subsets can easily be exported from IWP to a PC file and emailed to
anyone
that wants it.

>From IWP "green screen", select Export from the Housekeep menu.  After
specifying the reports and subsets to export, use the method PCDOWN.  It
will create a file in /qdls/infowp/export that can be copied or emailed.


Regards,
-Greg

Chuck,

We have done exactly what you are looking for with Jacana.  We took the
approach of creating some database files of our own and then building a
customized subset.  The database files can be built using Jacana and the
subset can be created using IWP.  The reason we built our own database
files and subset was to make the linking in the subset much less
complicated.  We linked a CL to a task that runs all of the reports to
build the database files and then runs the report to produce the printed
output.  This makes running the report very easy for the user.  We also
use Jacana to download this same information to Excel.

The report gives all the items that are short with all manufacturing
orders that require the item, all purchase orders for the item with
appropriate due dates, and all inventory currently on hand.  This is all
pulled live from the MAPICS files so the report is literally up to the
minute.

To all, 

I'm looking to create a single report that will combine manufacturing
order
shortage information with purchasing information.

We currently accomplish this manually using Microsoft Word. It's a good
report but with many issues such as time, accuracy, and timeliness.

All information used to create this report comes from Mapics. So why not
let
the system do all of the work, right?

The "Manufacture Order Shortage Report --- Follow-Up Analysis ---" is
used
to show what each manufacturing order is short. We use the purchase
orders
to know when items are due.

Any ideas on how to accomplish this? We use Jacana/Valet for report
writing.


Thank you,
