RE: JBA ML - Bill of Materials -- SYSTEM21

Your report is much like our custom program. We do agree that the JBA report
is a little rough to read but not totally bad. I do believe based on the
items indicated on the screen you get different levels of information. We
use our report about 90% of the time.
You can get tech support from Geac (Detroit) and we have used their people
and have had good programming support.

I looked at 25 & 27/MDEs output but it's pretty rough for comprehensive
indented reports (I think every part was on its own page and it included a
lot of labor and other info that was unnecessary).

Traditionally we had a custom RPG program that built the report and another
to print it. The layout was very clean with all sub processes indented and
in a continuous flow. The problem we've run up onto as of late is that new
parts are not being included in the comprehensive BoM and the creator of the
program is no longer with us - sucks.


This is an example of the layout we get with our printing. The data itself
is changed for purposes of this example:

PARENT       G655X803CC       BLANK YOKE                  M   DDREE

As you can see it is easy on the eyes. I might be missing something with
respect to Sys21's capabilities. If so please advise.

Look at 25/MDE & 27/MDE. I think those will help. Just be careful on the
from part & the to part
as they can be very tricky if you forget the from part, you'll get a large
report for all parts in between. We also wrote your own report in a
friendlier format that combines the higher levels and the lower levels as
desired. We also includes the PO text if indicated and/or Spanish language
descriptions.
