This is standard function within the IFM application and the Intersite
Logistics (ISL) applications. Both are available for 5.5. However, if you
are not on IFM, then you will need to write all custom, or purchase ISL and
do some additional coding.
Also, at the latest releases 7.7 with system link you can utilize the built
in functions to automate the process.
If you are planning to upgrade, look also a eliminating some of the
environments. There are many new features such as the new material transfer
functions that are designed to begin to eliminate the need for the multiple
environments. That being said, there are also new features that will allow
you to centralize control but decentralize the processing that will enhance
performance at your site in Germany.

Subject: [MAPICS-L] Auto generate orders between environments
We run multiple companies as separate environments of XA rel 5.5. Our
German company enters an order from a customer in the "XG" environment
and then turns around and creates a PO in "XG" with our US based company
as the vendor. Then the US entity in turn creates a COM order in "XU"
with the German company as the customer. The German entity primarily
sells items acquired from the US entities. To date this has been done by
someone keying the same information basically 3 times and often it is
the same person. We of course would like to automate this. Does anyone
know of an existing function to support this before I send out a RFQ on
it? I am reluctant to make such a modification when we are looking to
begin the move up to the current release within the next year or so.
Thanks,
