More detail on what I exacly need to do:

I need to automatically create the "MO", then the "RM" to put the finished 
good into inventory. Western Forge is using a very strange process, we don't 
really use MO's to control our manufacturing process. So the manual process 
that's happening now is that we have someone manually keying an "MO" so that 
they can "RM" against it. I want to remove the manual keying of both, we are 
using the CISTECH PPS product and it will create the "RM" for me from the gun. 
But I still have a problem as I don't have an open "MO" to go against....any 
suggestions?

This is only a short-term fix as we are looking at our entire process to 
figure out the right solution.

Thanks again for everyone who responded....we just aren't doing 
things "normally" so I need to be creative.
