AMICO Technical Committee: TMS Export Certification

A group of TMS users (see the list) is working on certification of Gallery Systems TMS's AMICO Library Export Capability. This table shows the first TMS map and AMICO's reactions.

General Concern: only mapping core fields short-changes AMICO Users and doesn't meet all the needs of AMICO Members.
