RE: Mapics and EDI

Hi John,
I'm still waiting for the test 850's to come in so the project is somewhat 
on hold.  In reviewing your e-mail below you mention 'issue the command to 
process the offline files'.  Is there a command to load offline files or 
are you referring to the interactive screens like Option 2 on the COM 
menu?  I would be very interested on a way to enter offline files thru a 
command.

Thanks,

Bob,
                 We do not do true EDI, but we do process some FTPed files 
from several of our customers. We have them FTP the files into a specific 
library. Then we've written programs to extract the data. We insist on one 
and only one header record per file, with specific field positions and at 
least one detail record, each representing a different line item. 
                 Then our programs extract the data and load the Mapics 
offline files. Of course, we do error checking first to be sure they are 
sending valid item numbers, etc. Then we issue the command to process the 
offline files.

                 John

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.
