Re: INV900

Depending on how much of what kinds of work was done by which co-workers
before you discovered the problem & if your company now desires to complete
end-month, and the timing of that, the mess might be more than repairing ITH.
 You need to ask both SSA tech support and your management about your choices
& options.

ITH might not be the only file in need of reconstruction work.
We are assuming only INV900 broke.
SSA Tech Support can tell you all files impacted - I think it more files than
what you listed - but possibly not all of them broke by not having that BMR -
they'd know.
Also ask if this corrupted INV900 run, messing up some files, might have had
any bad effect on other end-month tasks that ran after it on your check list.

You need to know what actions people took this morning that impacted files
you need to recover / repair.

You also need to know if your month-end is now incomplete because of INV900
recovery & depending on what else was done last nite on the end-month check
list, how you resolve that.

Sequence #s in IIM reflect:
1. Every ITH transaction addition changes IIM keep track.
2. INV900 obliteration of ITH history also obliterated keeping track.
So merely restoring ITH does not repair IIM.

If your people (like ours) habitually delete audit trails when they think the
task has successfully completed, you might request a delay of audit trail
deletion until next week in case any transactions will need reposting.

I suspect that management does not want to suspend normal day operations
until this is resolved, but would rather have everyone do an almost normal
day, then have most repair work done this evening.

If only a few transactions have been done, I suspect that having their
history missing might not be a big deal, unless they are related to shop
order management.  After all, are your inventory on-hand & WIP & $ figures
correct?
