Until they fix the heading on the main menu of green screen:

They are going to still have people with brand identity confusion.
I just had a user yesterday ask me what are we calling it? MAPICS, XA,
or Power-Link?
I thought I saw somewhere that R7.8 makes some changes to the product
naming consistency, but I am not sure where I saw that.

I guess that I am old school and reluctant to change like so many of our
users have been through the years, but since I have worked with the product
since 1985 it will always be MAPICS to me! Of course, other than the GLAPPR
applications what we have today does not resemble what we had back then very
much!

Hello Terry,
Assuming you have MRP, MRP>4>1 or 2 (Review and approve) option A = check availability for planned orders
Or the same if you have OBPM (this is better because it only shows the short part)
It can be released there as well if you so choose.
The query path would be a long hard road in my estimation.

I believe there is a flag in the Demand Reference file, DMDREF, called
DQHO, Demand for Quantity On Hand that might be useful in this. You may
have to join it to the PLNORD file in order to identify the specific MO
to release and also to the Product Structure file to check components. I
have done a little on this but it is not top of mind right now so don't
know for sure whether it will work.

Just an observation I made in the process of documenting security policies for a compliance mandate:
It's going to be a lot harder to refer to our software as Infor XA instead of MAPICS than to refer to the platform as the 'i' instead of the AS/400.

I still see INFOR as the company, and MAPICS as the product. I guess it
will be a matter of time, like the switch from AS400 to iSeries and so
forth...
In general, and using a compatible scenario like yours, we are still
referring to the term "MAPICS"...

"Infor doesn't call it MAPICS though, Infor calls it "Infor XA"."
Agreed. That is why I always say they are doing kind of a "new teaching"
of it... indoctrinating us about how to refer to it from that point on.
Let me tell you. <IMHO> I guess it will take a little time.... :o)

And don't even bring up the fact that "Browser", which became "Power
Link", is now "IDF" or "iSeries Development Framework". It will confuse
the heck out of everyone! lol.
You know when they change the name they can then charge more.

Until they fix the heading on the main menu of green screen:
MAPICS XA
Application Selection
They are going to still have people with brand identity confusion.
I just had a user yesterday ask me what are we calling it? MAPICS, XA, or Power-Link?
I thought I saw somewhere that R7.8 makes some changes to the product naming consistency, but I am not sure where I saw that.
