RE: IWI and ILI Imbalances

        We don't use CIMPATH or ECM - We do use DCSerV for barcode
transactions, which might affect shop order transactions but not the B
transactions. Even the shop order transactions call "pure" BPCS programs for
transaction posting.

                Are you using CIMPath or ECM or "base BPCS" programs to
inventory and
                shipping transactions?

                It certainly sounds like when creating/updating records some
program out
                there isn't z-adding all fields and is updating the records
with data from
                a previous record.

                I wonder if it has something to do with kits/assortments -
or only when new
                ILI records are created.......   I have recently been doing
some very
                intensive testing of CIMPath for "B", "H", and "U"
transactions for various
                situations -- lot control; no lot control; ILI and IWI
exist; IWI exists no
                ILI; IWI , ILI, ILN exist, IWI exists, no ILN, etc.   Not
all cases process
                through CIMPath correctly.  This in BPCS v405CD.    I made a
big list of
                all the possible combinations I could think of, then tested
each one by one
                looking at IIM, IWI, ILI and ILN before and after.  If you
are using
                CIMPath, I can share some of the situations we tripped that
caused
                problems.
