MAPICS

MAPICS

MAPICS is an outdated acronym for Manufacturing, Accounting and Production Information Control Systems. It is a commercial ERP software package used to control the operations of manufacturing companies. MAPICS was created by IBM, International Business Machines, but the name is now owned by Infor Global Solutions [http://infor.com] and has been rebranded 'Infor ERP XA'.

Originally all MAPICS code ran only on IBM midrange systems like the IBM System 34, 36, and the AS400, whose latest iteration is the IBM iSeries. Infor XA is written in IBM RPG, augmented with iSeries Control Language [CL] . IBM's version of SQL is also utilized in these appliations. More recent development efforts have added object oriented components written in the Java programming language, which extends the running of a portion of the XA product to servers running Java. However, the primary XA products still run only on the midrange IBM AS400, or the IBM iSeries. The Java components are only a Windows like interface to the underlying AS400/iSeries databases.
