RE: Mapics and EDI

Wow Bob!  That is a big assignment.  Does your management understand
that they will have to invest a significant amount of time and money to
go from zero to an operational EDI system?

I would set up a meeting with your MAPICS affiliate to get briefed on
the EC module and its cost.  Also plan on attending some training to
learn of to set up and use EC. 

I would consider hiring someone to do the set up as it is frustrating to
try to do something with very little experience on the subject matter.

Once everything is set up and you are trained, EDI can be a very
rewarding experience.

Good luck and keep us posted.  There are many skilled EDI folks on this
list.

Subject: Mapics and EDI

I have a requirement to do EDI for one of our environments.  The inbound

files are on a website and I have to use FTP to download these files
into 
MAPICS.  My plan is to reveive 850's and send 810's.
Can this be done?  What options do I have?  I know very little about EDI

and I can't understand how I can receive these files and rename them on 
the 400 so I can extract the data I need to use offline load in COM.
Any 
comments will be appreciated.
