Hi Mimi:
KCI transitioned from a department-oriented schedule with 602 record types to a functional one (FAT) containing 90 record series. I have not yet tackled international requirements; that will add series due to country exceptions.
I appreciate the theory behind "big buckets" but believe that, inasmuch as any one individual is not likely to need to be able to classify more than, say, 5 or 6 record types, a schedule that is summarized as ours is is not going to be cumbersome. I've heard Peter Skupsky call them "personal big buckets."
Let us know how your poll comes out.
Best regards,
Terry Mergele
