MAPICS Browser
The MAPICS Browser gives you an efficient,
task-oriented way to view application information contained in MAPICS XA
applications. The MAPICS Browser lets you customize how you view the
application information.
With the MAPICS Browser, you
can:
· Arrange application
information into multiple groupings and sequences that make sense for your
job.
· Hide information that does not
apply to a particular job or task.
·
Subset records to show only the information that applies to the job or task you
are performing.
· Customize the
information for an individual user, for a group of users, or for all
users.
The MAPICS Browser uses application objects to show information.
Objects in the MAPICS Browser appear in seven groups on the main MAPICS Browser
window. The MAPICS applications you have installed on your system control
the content of each object.
Four tabs contain objects related
primarily to the MAPICS XA applications COM, IM, PC&C, REP, and
IFM:
· Customer Service contains
information about your customers, orders placed by customers, and shipments sent
to the customers to fulfill those orders. The Customer Service objects
appear on two tabs. The Customers and Orders tab contains objects related
to open customer orders. The Shipments and Invoices tab contains objects
related to fulfilling the customer
orders.
· Inventory contains
information about the items in your inventory, such as on-hand amounts, which
items have been allocated to orders, and where the items are located in your
warehouses.
· Production contains
information about manufacturing orders issued to produce order-based items and
schedules issued to produce rate-based
items.
· Finance contains information
about your company’s financial transactions. The Finance objects appear on
three tabs. The Payables tab contains objects related to payment
transactions. The Receivables tab contains objects related to receipt
transactions. The General tab contains objects used for either type of
financial transaction, as well as the General Ledger.
The Engineering and
Procurement tabs contain objects relating to three other MAPICS applications,
specifically, Procurement Management, PDMPlus and Enterprise PDM, which your
company may or may not have acquired. If you have acquired them, then some
maintenance options will be available in some MAPICS Browser objects. If
you have not acquired either of these applications, then the objects in the
MAPICS Browser are for inquiry only.
The MAPICS tab contains options for
navigating in the MAPICS Browser and for including information from files
outside of the MAPICS database.
The MAPICS Browser arranges all of the
MAPICS objects into list windows, card files and cards. The lists, card
files and cards function like a collection of rooms. Each room has windows
to information in other rooms. Every room has connecting doors. This
arrangement means that you do not have to exit from one object to see
information in another object.
The application objects replace menus and
eliminate the boundaries between application information. Your view of the
application information appears seamless even though the information you are
viewing is stored in files with the same boundaries as in the MAPICS XA
applications.
Easy movement between application objects is only one of
the MAPICS Browser’s productivity-enhancing features. The customizable
features give you the power to create your own arrangements of application
information. You can:
· include
and exclude fields as required for the job you are
performing;
· include and exclude
object records based on criteria you specify;
and
· create multiple customized
versions of application information for each application object.
The
customizable features let you manipulate the application information in the
MAPICS Browser to obtain the information you need for a specific
task.
