Re: Duplicates in BPCS files - illusion?

Al,

This may not help since you mention that people are checking ORD300 to see if
the order is already entered, BUT, you may want to add some code into ORD500. 
We did it this way: Call a program at order -entry- that checks to see if the PO
entered already exists for this customer (we require a PO on every order).  If
it does already exist, shoot the user over to the appropriate ORD300 screen. 
This allows them the opportunity to see if they are entering a duplicate.

We occasionally have encountered duplicated ECH records.  It's been rare, so I
am letting it ride, I just delete one of them.
