Interface Installation Procedures

The Future Three interface programs and files are all installed as part of the Inventory Control module installation.  However, two steps must be followed after the Inventory Control installation has been completed in order for the interface to execute correctly.

1.   Users must determine whether billing information (i.e. invoices) will be sent from Future Three to MAC-PAC.  If users choose not to send billing information into MAC-PAC, the Billing Program (IC110E) must be deleted from the AS/400.  If the program is not deleted, the Forecast Shipment Transaction File (IC140AP1) records will not be purged after the successful completion of the Forecast Shipments Program (IC140E).  Use the DLTPGM command on the AS/400 to delete IC110E.

2.   Authority must be granted to certain MAC-PAC programs and files in order for Future Three users to have proper authority for the interface.  In general, Future Three users use the user profile FUTURE.  If this is true for your users, grant authority to the following programs and files for the user profile FUTURE.  If your Future Three users are using a different user profile, grant authority to the objects for that user profile.

Use the following commands on the AS/400 to grant authority to the MAC-PAC programs and files:
