Re: COM Order Appointment

Jim,

We have a fairly extensive sales/marketing application that is driven from
MAPICS sales orders, and we have to use comments to feed the system, since
MAPICS doesn't understand things like model year, variable discount rates
based on volume, spiffs, and so on.  The only way we could get it to work
right (and it works really well) was to use pre-defined comments that are
auto-loaded from fields entered in a pop-up screen.  With
computer-generated comments added, we can count on the data always being in
the same format.  Setting it up initially was pretty well a pain, but once
it's in, it works well.

Sounds like you have a similar need.

Curious to know if anyone has a solution for storing a COM order
delivery appointment date and time? Currently we use the order comments
field, but since they are free form text and with the ability for an
order to have multiple comment lines it makes it difficult to accurately
parse these fields for reporting/calculation.
