I suspect that this is what happened.  I gather that your on-hand
quantities are correct.  You can also test this manually; post a
transaction and see what changes.

This is a side effect of the monthend problem.  I believe that the
inventory posting program compares the ZPA date with the transation
date.  If the transaction date is earlier than the post date, the
opening balance will be updated instead of the
issues/receipts/adjustment field.

If you can do RPG, a program to fix this is not difficult.  Read the
relevant ILI and

If not, then your options are more limited.  You need to get the
lowest level file correct; this is ILI unless you use pallets or
containers.  Then INV972 (the reset pgm) will roll it up for you.  One
thought:
- find in ILI from just before or just after monthend.
- use SQL or query to calc this month opening balance  for each lot
- use SQL or query to summarize issues, receipts, adjs for each lot in
this month
- use SQL to update ILI fields from those summaries.

Worst case . . . 
1. Manually reverse last weeks transactions
2. Fix the date in ZPA
3. Manually re-enter last weeks transactions

DO NOT FIX THE ZPA POST DATE UNTIL YOU KNOW HOW TO CORRECT THE DATA..
