Re: Hidding Invenotry numbers

[Kevin.Gerard@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]

   Obviously with the Rel 7 and IDF, you could do neat things in specific
   areas around content security, and other things like restricted work
   spaces  over subsets;  So much more feature/function in the area of
   security which would essentially let you "hide" data based on content and
   your business requirements.

   We did this for a customer specfically to restrict access to service/parts
   stock and the IDF/Power Link made it possible relatively easily.

   My .02 cents.

     I am not sure if you can "hide" a location in the way you are
     specifying,
     with vanilla MAPICS.  The only thing that is conceptually "similar" to
     what you are stating is the "non-netting locations".

     At least in Release 6, MAPICS provides a non-netting feature that allows
     one to mark stocking locations that MRP will ignore during planning -
     essentially it hides inventory from MRP.  The flag is maintained on the
     location detail record at IM, 7, 9, 3 Location Detail (see Screen 1).
     Set
     Location Type to 1 to exclude from MRP.

     >From within MRP's Item Requirements Inquiry, one can see the total, and
     non-Netting, on hand by pressing F21=Item Detail (see Screen 2), and
     roll
     to page 3 (see Screen 3).   In the example below, there are 76 total on
     hand, 32 non-netting, so MRP will only see 44 available.

     (Note: you cannot do this to "QC" locations.)

     My $0.02 cents...
