Re: Modifying the pick procedure in XA 6 COM

It sounds like you are requiring Pick Confirmations.  You can be tailored to 
not require Pick Confirmations.  This way the shipping transactions are 
relieving inventory and creating the SA's in one step.

You can also use the Offline Shipping functions provided by MAPICS.  However, 
you need to write (or obtain) a "front end" program to create the offline 
records and call the Offline Shipping function.  We have used this approach at 
several of our customers when the customer only wants to enter the bare 
necessities (for example, order number, item, location, qty) to process the 
shipment.
