MAPICS Support for RoHS + WEEE

   <META HTTP-EQUIV="Content-Type" CONTENT="text/html;    charset=iso-8859-1">

   Is anyone doing anything with MAPICS/XA to support = the following
   European Union Directives to track hazardous substances = used in the
   manufacturing process? These are being implemented in = Europe in 2006 and
   California in 2007, with other states later. 
   The requirement is to record all lower level = materials and components
   and be able to track compliance status at the = lower level item and at
   the parent item level if a non-compliant = component is in the B/M. We are
   considering using the Vendor/Item File = to keep track of the lower level
   items compliance and write a program = to roll-up the compliance status to
   the parents.

   RoHS - Reduction of Hazardous Substances
   WEEE - Waste of Electrical and Electronic = Equipment

   Please let me know if anyone has any solutions on how = to handle this
   within MAPICS.
