The process I described will completely bypass the "Enter Orders from
Offline Files" option in MAPICS.

Here's what you'll need to do...

1. Load the MBG8CPP, MBG9CPP and etc files with the unique Order Token.
2. Call AMBE8XFR, passing the order token in the LDA. (From your custom
program. You'll need to load the first 15 bytes of the LDA you pass. I
think you will also need to run something like STRMAPICS and ENDMAPICS
around AMBE8XFR in your custom program.)
3. This will run the offline file load. You'll get 4 printouts. Also,
if there are errors, you'll find them in MBILCPP.

Thanks for the repsonses. A couple of questions though.

1) How do you pull an order in individually? The only thing I have seen
on
the screen is: Process offline orders . . . . Y (Y, N)

So it will process everything in the offline order file.

2) On Chris comment that I can call the AMBE8XFR and pass the
corresponding order token. Would this bypass the need to take option #2
Enter Orders from Offline Files? If so this would be nice because we
could automatically add the new order in COM from our custom programs.

Thanks again for all the help!

Jeff,

You can process the COM Offline Order Load by individual order or by
"batches" by using the "Offline order token" found at the beginning of

all of the offline order files. (MBG8CPP, MBG9CPP, MBHCCPP, etc)

Then you would call AMBE8XFR and pass the corresponding order token in

the LDA. (positions 4-14)

I guess you might call AMBE8XFR the API.

Hi everyone.
We are doing a lot with COM offline orders now. I really do not like
how MAPICS processes all offline orders at the same time. I would like

to bypass the offline order import process and have it update the COM
files automatically by calling an API or something like that. Has
anyone done this? Or have experience like this?

If we could keep the current offline files and then just call an API
that would be ideal. Any input would be appreciated. Thanks

Jeff Williams
