Re: Can this be done -- MAPICS-L

Kevin,
The interface written by Guide Technologies sends the Kit Item to LogPro -
not the components.  At my customer, we are now using the LogPro Packing
function which details what products are in each box/carton/container.  This
was something required to work with Home Depot, Lowes, Sears, etc.  They are
using the option of sending down the Picklist to LogPro as the "order
number" so when the Pick is printed for a Kit and it creates the Picklist
for those components, LogPro is not receiving the second, third, etc. "order
number".

Have you solved this problem anywhere else?

Eric
