I created a MO "Generator" once. In this case it allowed someone to enter
a P/N, explode a B/M and then create "in-mass" the selected orders (from a
"flattened" B/M). I leveraged the ORDATA files and created a batch this
way (they posted it via normal methods as a batch). In this case they were
able to create hundreds of orders in a relatively short time. It worked
well. It did not take a long time to design.
I subsquently created a System Link version (much much better) but the
result was same. (Note projects like this make a great justification for
System Link. It is SO MUCH easier and very release transparent. In this
case you simply use the LPI method of interfacing - No web skills
required)
E-mail me and I can share w/ you the concepts and some of the techniques
for both methods. There was a few gotcha's in creating the ORDATA*
members that were required if I remember. I need a day to dig out the
code but e-mail me and I can share more details if this sounds like what
you want.

Subject: [MAPICS-L] Off-Line MO Load
We have a request from manufacturing to create a process in where a
factory worker scans a kanban card and the result is an MO being created
in MAPICS (sorry Infor XA). We are using XA R7.7 with PowerLink but
don't have SystemLink. When the MO is created we still need all of the
associated MO documents printed and all of the files updated just as if
the MO was manually created. Has anyone created a process like this or
is there an existing MAPICS function that would accomplish this task?
The generation and printing of the MO needs to be seamless to the users
they simply scan the card and the paper prints, no other human
interaction.
Thanks for your ideas and help
Doug
