We have ran into a problem with the ITH sequence being set wrong.  This has
effected only 19 items.  I am exploring the possibility that INV900 has set
the sequence wrong or that one of the program that writes ITH records set it
wrong.  Has anyone once ran into a problem similar to this?  I do have a
program that will set these sequences right but am trying to find the
cause.  We have relative few ITH transaction for these items say 500-1000
ITH records.

        We have a similar problem, and have solve it with a summary file. 
We have 
our ITH file set to 365 days, then summarize to a file that stores info by 
item, transaction type, facility, etc., with 24 buckets for each item. 
This lets us see, for example, the CI transactions at a particular facility 
for a specific item for each of the past 24 months, although not the 
individual transactions.  A similar summary file for as many monthly 
buckets as you might need might be helpful for you.
