Check the archives.  This is a systemic problem on most all versions of BPCS 
which has often come up in discussion.  There are ways to erase the 
appearance of the problem without really fixing the problem.

We are also on BPCS 405 CD.  It would be nice if the system parameters about 
how long we want to keep customer order data really connected to anything, 
like the BIL900 that existed on BPCS/36.

It is my understanding that if you do substitutions, you need to do 
maintenance to the shop order before any reporting of them, which gets to be 
a royal pain if JIT6 tickets are reported out of sync with the deviations.

Our CST900 takes 2 hours if it is soon after SYS120 which takes 3/4 hour 
dedicated.
Our CST900 takes 5 hours if it has been a week since our last SYS120.
On BPCS/36 we used to always have to do an allocations reorg after every 
CST900 because closing shop orders was guaranteed to tangle up the 
allocations.
I had thought that was fixed on BPCS 405 CD, but this was by taking someone's 
word for it & the someone might not have thoroughly understood the problem.
