Re: Vendor Messages on the List

Dave (and all),

From my humble POV, I like to see the vendor responses. It has informed me

of solutions that are available that I had forgotten about, or not seen at
the conferences, or just didn't know about! I agree that there shouldn't
be mining, or "blind posts", but I do like the postings from vendors that
there ARE solutions out there. And they provide their contact information,
which is valuable.

Also, if users actually USE the product and like it or hate it, I have
noticed commentary on that also. Which is pretty valuable. I mean, what's
the difference if I tell you that my company really likes product A, versus
the vendor mentioning they sell product A. (Except that you get the
contact info if the vendor does it).

I vote to allow responses that aren't sales pitches!!!!

Eric et al,

It's acceptable for a vendor to post that he may have a solution and to
contact him off list if interested. It's NOT acceptable for vendors to
make
unsolicited contact with other subscribers of the list - David didn't ask
for vendors to contact him, so I hope no vendors have emailed him directly.

That's considered 'mining' of email addresses, and is specifically
prohibited in the monthly Guidelines for the list.

However, vendors should NOT post marketing messages to the list, either.
Please, vendors, no sales pitches, no listing of features, prices, or
number
of customers - just "I may have a solution, contact me off list or visit my

web site if you're interested."

This position is a compromise, of course, and I'm open to discussing it
further, as long as we all keep it civil. (I'll try if y'all will. ;)

BTW,
I thought this was not supposed to be a "sales pitch" forum. Mr.
Moderator,
is this correct? If vendors want to watch this site, that's fine, but
they
should contact the "potential" customer directly - not through this site.

IMHO...

Hi David-

I'm with Quadrant Software. We are the Infor XA for Iseries (or it
system i now) partner specifically for this type of requirement. Our
Formtastic portion of our Paperless process Management solution will
allow you to both generate laser printed checks and segment the vendors
you would like to pay with ACH or electronic payment. We fully support
a batch environment where you can have your AP group generate the run
using the same keystrokes they do today. We will essentially segment
which vendors are set up for ACH and break those out of the check run
and send their payment electronically. The remainder will receive a
standard laser printed check. Please contact me for additional
information or visit our web site. We have over 300 XA installs
worldwide.

Best regards,




Kenneth Anderson, CDIA+

subject: [MAPICS-L] Accounts Payable Direct Deposit

Does anyone know how to do direct deposits to vendors? We are currently
doing direct deposit in payroll, but now need that ability for one of
our vendors. There does not appear to be a way to do this in Accounts
Payable at this time so we are looking for alternatives. Any ideas?



Thanks,

David
