I am surprised by the comment that PM was overkill for someone who wanted to replace FRx. Apparently there was some overselling here. PM Business Edition - Financial Reporting is the exact replacement for FRx, designed to offer the 30+ regular reports without all the high end financial tools like consolidation and forecasting. PM BEFR (pardon the awkward acronym) is the standard replacement for FRx. You can get it in multiple ways: - If you exercise your FLEX Upgrade option, it comes with the package - If you wait a couple of months, we will offer it with a SOA integration for all current FRx customers. There is a license fee, but it is relatively low. - You can buy it today with a PSO field integration PM BEFR is the standard financial report writer for XA going forward from Release 9. Everyone will wind up with it unless they fight pretty hard to avoid it. You won't have to use it if it isn't your preferred solution, but it will ship to you anyways.

I noticed it sitting out here with no response. AVP replaces MRP and CRP. Thus MPSP works just fine assuming it is the driver of the plan. Unfortunately, many companies don't use MPSP to drive the plan, but instead us it as a step in an ill defined process. As long as you are using MPSP to drive demand OVER THE CMLT HORIZON of the demand units, you will be fine using AVP and will in fact get faster feed back if you are over capacity or under utilizing capacity. Both of which are very nice things to have during your S&OP process. Let me know how this is going for you.

Also have a fledgling S&OP process that depends on MPSP and the PFRELF file to define product families. We also use Infor MPA to measure our variances in making the plan. I would appreciate hearing from anyone with similar experience that has switched to AVP.

They liked the concept of financial BI but wouldn't commit to what was required. All they really wanted was a better reporting tool that then old FA module. There sure are a lot of excellent tools available, but without top management commitment, it's just tossing your money out the window. They would have been satisfied with DB2/WebQuery and it's dashboard.

It is an infor package and don't think it is an overkill compared to PM. I've heard it is comparable to FRX and can be ran on different platforms of software.
