We did a modification off of the ITH Inventory History file on BPCS/36 - I
don't see why the same concept would not work on BPCS/400.  What our
Purchasing Guy really wanted was a perpetual history of what we paid for raw
materials.  There is a transaction code associated with receiving raw
materials in what quantity & at what price & from what vendor & other
particulars.

We modified INV900 so that when it got rid of the older records than our
system parameters, it also copied that transaction into this other file that
was just like ITH except it only had the purged raw material receipts stored
in perpetuity, using a file layout that was basically a copy of ITH.  Then we
had some reports that combined contents of the excess file with those
transactions in the live file that had not yet hit the retention barrier, in
which purchasing personnel could select by some ranges of item types & how far
back they wanted the history.
