Lloyd:

You do have a challenge!

I don't know about MAPICS specifically in this regard but all the MRP
programs I'm familiar with do not retain their generation output files -
they clear them during the end-of-run processing. This means there is no
data source from which the user can create that one reeeeeally long row per
item. And given Excel's limitation of 234 columns I'd bet on running out of
columns before they ran out of item data anyway.

With no files the only data source is the spooled output report - regen or
exception - so you're back to Monarch - or some other report parsing tool.
Unless you have a way to email the report from the output queue to the user.
The file could be saved as a txt file and then imported into Excel but
having done something like this in the past I'd get a copy of Monarch first.

Thanks Roy.

It's just that when MRP is run, it prints one item per page, and this
person being new, is getting confused by the standard output.

Lloyd:

Any idea what the user is trying to accomplish once the data is in a
spreadsheet?

Experience tells me they plan to do some sorting with the objective of
relating one item to another.

I'd suggest they get a copy of Monarch (http://www.datawatch.com/)and
use it to parse the MRP exception report, loading the required data into
a excel file.

Can you tell that I have some New Employees?

Anyone ever figure out a way to 'Dump' an MRP to a File so that it could
be layed in Excel? Each Item Having it's own Row with the MRP details
going across all Columns?

I thought that I had heard every request by now...
