RE: Order changes

We have had a similar requirement.  Version 6.0.04 heavily modified.


We track incoming orders and what we do is reduce orders if an order was 
deleted; add the orders taken for the day, net with certain credit types.

To play this game we hardwired a new file with the information we needed to one 
of the ord7xx green screen program. Every add created a new record; changes 
were captured and the whole issue of shuffling the line was to write out a 
negative of the before image and a positive of the after image (reverse for 
credits that would impact sales) and let a batch program net them out.

I can give you more info offline if you are interested.

Hi,
      I am on V6.02. We have a program that prints any new orders taken out
the previous day and also any changes made to existing orders. It is a
batch program that compares entry date and last maintained date to a record
in a work file. If it is different, there has been a change (in item
number, quantity, price, salesperson or customer). The programs were
written when we first got BPCS many, many years ago. It was maintained to
keep working, but has some serious holes.  I need to rewrite it without the
holes.  Some of the problems are: the work file is keyed by order #, line #
(the item number can and does change), but we have had users resequence the
order, We have had lines deleted, and L01 was used, so it was never
reduced, and several unexplained things where it just did not update
correctly.
      Does anyone have any ideas on how to track the changes? I'm not
looking for any product to purchase, it is home grown and needs to stay
that way. I am just starting to look at different ways to do it, and
thought I would see if anyone else is already doing something similar.
