Subject: [MAPICS-L] CSM Release 7 is it ready for prime time?

We are installing CSM for the 1st time for release 7 and have been ran
against some things that don't quite make sense.

1)    We have orders that are showing in the historical order section,
however, there are no shipments against the order.   There are no
records in MBDHREP, MBDDREP, and MBKGCPP.  We are told any order that
has a record in MBBWCPP will show up as a historical order.  What would
leave "orphan" records in MBBWCPP?  Also, why would one want to review
open NOT SHIPPED orders under historical orders and also under open
orders?  This same order does not show under historical orders in COM
green screen, it shows in open orders.

2)    User has the ability to change price source code, which we feel
could be a potential SOX issue.  Enter a brand new order and item is
priced with "automatic" pricing.  User has the ability to change the
price source code from "automatic" to "override" or "copied from a
quote" when in fact nothing was done to the price.   Also, after the
item has been entered, user must select the price source code box and
select an override source code before changing the price.   We are not
too sure why this functionality differs from COM and why the user should
have the ability to change the price source code.  We were told by
MAPICS not to lock down the field as potential problems could result.  I
would think any price changes that occur would automatically have the
price source code updated by the program and not by the user.

Is anyone else experiencing any of the above issues and how have you
dealt with them?

Thank you,
Candy Hein
