Which Accounting system are you planning on using, IFM or GL, because IFM keeps the detail behind the Interfacing entries?

Subject: [MAPICS-L] Interfacing Inventory Account with the G/L
(Resubmitted with a "Subject" added. Opps!)
Hi group:
Our company is upgrading from Mapics DB/Y2K (Mod 4) to Infor XA (Rel 7).
With Mapics DB, we have not used G/L Interfacing for the Inventory Accounts (thru the IM, PC&C and OE&I).
The representatives of the company assisting with our upgrading, Barry-Wehmiller International Resources, have suggested to us that we interface our G/L with the above modules (COM replaces OE&I).
Our shop has around 20,000 IM Inventory transactions every month.
We apparently can interface in one of two ways:
1. In detail with each entry posting to the G/L; or
2. In summary, where all the entries post at a "net" amount to the G/L; and their detail is lost.
I am again interfacing for the following reasons:
1. Infor XA does not use a subsidiary ledger to collect the detail of interfacing entries;
2. The G/L would be very large and probably unprintable or usable because of the number of entries posted therein due to the interfacing.
If Infor XA had a subsidiary ledger, I probably would support interfacing with the G/L because the detail journal entries would not be posted directly in the G/L.
But, I'm open minded and I'd like your suggestions, both pro and con, about interfacing the inventory accounts with the G/L.
I look forward to your comments on this matter.
Have a good week.
