Re: High volume order processing thru Mapics Rel. 5

Ed,

We don't have a SUPER huge volume, but we run them through Offline Shipping
Enhancement, and it's so much faster than pick/pack/ship that it's not
funny.

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.
