Why do I get nervous when I read Wal-Mart & firearms in the same 
sentence....

[MAPICS-L] High volume order processing thru Mapics Rel. 5






Hi,

I was wondering if anyone out there is doing high volume pick/pack/ship
using release 5.  We have recently been told by a customer (W@@-Mart) that
we will need to ship directly to stores instead of to distribution 
centers!
Obviously, the volume of orders and associated transactions will increase
tremendously - probably from one order per month to several hundred per 
day!
On the bright side, we have a 72 hour window from order receipt to product
shipment before the order is cancelled.  I'm sure we're not the only
manufacturer going through this and I hope to hear those success stories.
Thanks in advance!  Also, how is anyone in this situation handling the EDI
portion of the transactions?  Any help or direction is greatly 
appreciated.
