Eric, What would LogPro need to do to support kitting? Kevin Fox Kdfox@xxxxxxxxxxxxx -----Original Message----- From: Eric A. Wolf [mailto:eric_a_wolf@xxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Wednesday, October 06, 2004 12:05 PM To: MAPICS ERP System Discussion Subject: Re: Can this be done Bob, I was told by Guide Technologies (unless I heard them wrong) that their interface to LogPro cannot handle Kits. One of my customers has an issue and I have not had time to research it further but can talk/email offline to discuss it further. Eric A.
