Re: MAPICS save

[Mike Crawford <mikec@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dale,

Rememeber we do 80% of work in the Browser.  We handle T/A outside of 
mapics and
don't have shop floor collection so we don't continually open batch after 
batch.
AP/AR/GL batches happen once a day.  RPs are all done through Browser, IPs 
are RMs
only burn up one batch a day.

The advantage for us doing a MAPICS backup once a quarter is, I save the 
labor ticket
data found in AMTLIB/SHPATSV and use it to report detail information about 
our labor
usage.  So its nice to have it located in one PF per quarter.

Mike
