Hi Mapics ML:

This announcement is from the iSeries Network Publication,
"NEWS Wire Daily -- August 1, 2002"


"MAPICS LAUNCHES WEB PORTAL FOR BUYERS AND SUPPLIERS
http://www.iseriesnetwork.com/nwn/story.cfm?ID=14872
Mapics ( http://www.mapics.com ) unveils Buyer-Supplier
Role Portal, a Web-based solution for the iSeries and
other platforms that lets manufacturers give suppliers
realtime access to view and respond to purchase orders and
future requirement forecasts, increasing visibility into
inventory levels and demand. The portal solution
integrates with the Mapics ERP solution, can be tailored
to each manufacturer's unique business processes, and
provides suppliers with custom views of summary or
detailed purchase order
documents.  The portal lets users generate separate
discussion threads, tracks communications and alerts, and
lets suppliers accept, reject, or modify purchase order
requests on the fly."
