RE: Back Orders P42995
I have no problem with the repost, BUT (we are on World A7.3 cume8) , there
is a problem with the program P42995, if you do not have an open order for a
particular item, and for whatever reason , the commitments on that item have
gone haywire, the repost does absolutely nothing for that product on the
F41021 (Balances) file.
I have studied the source for this program, and the reason is that it reads
the orders file for open orders , goes to the F41021 balances file, finds
the product for which there is an open order, clears it's commitments, and
then does the repost.
This is a nuisance.. as we all know commitments can/do go wrong. And then
you do not have open order, so balances stay wrong.
We have written a program that runs before P42995 each night, and clears all
commitments. Works well. If you need the source, feel free to contact me.
Funny thing, the Purch Order Repost does not work like this. The program
structure is different and it clears all commitments IN THE ENTIRE FILE,
EVEN if you specify one ITEM code in Data selection. Thus you cannot repost
one product for PO repost during the day. But we often run the Sales Order
repost during the day for a few products, the selection works.
