Things can & do get screwed up & thankfully SSA has provided some tools to 
clean up many of these messes ... check out SYS option to the REORG menu & 
VERY carefully study the documentation on these options.  Basically what they 
deal with, or the ones we use, are the files are no longer in mutual 
synchronization for whatever reason, so we declare where the correct story is 
... in your case you are saying that the orders are correct & the allocations 
are incorrect ... then reconstruct the linkages of stories between the files 
so that they are once again in mutual synchronization.

We run the following jobs once a week, or whenever someone reports to us they 
have a problem or see symptoms of one of these problems, like negative 
allocations, numbers do not add up on INV300 summary section, the list is 
endless.

We have most of them on a User Menu with notations regarding estimated run 
time & distribution of reports ... example ORD991 is printed 4 copies to 
various people in our sales dept, because those audit trails are clues to 
additional clean-up that might be needed ... such as re-entering the customer 
order that was accidentally erased (the allocations WERE valid ... it was the 
order that we lost)

SYS120 ... F6 F18 F6 F6 then STAY OFF BPCS for an hour, just like INV900
INV972
SFC990
ORD990
SYS990
INV971
ACR970
ACR972
MRP990
BOM900
