Re: Minus quantity on Customer Order

Many programs in BPCS are able to take fields into the negative.
Many were written in ignorance of that concept.
There are also some bugs in BPCS that can take into the negative where it makes no sense ... we can have a negative quantity, but how about a negative currency? There is also such a thing as human error. We use the word "glitch" meaning let's not get distracted by any finger pointing, instead team effort focus on getting it fixed. This means that some fields of some files can be out of math sync with other places in BPCS supposed to store the same story, in greater detail. 

Perhaps you are overdue to do general reorganization of your BPCS files.


Have you over-shipped an order line?

e.g. you have customer order lines ... same item with 100 due same day
every week.  One day there is a shipment of 150.  Perhaps you meant to ship
one line 100, then do partial shipment 50 off of next week's line, but BPCS
lets you overship 150 on a line where only 100 is due.  Now you have
negative allocations due to the 50 overship on that line, even though other
lines for 100.

Al Mac ... a person who keeps thinking he seen everything that could
possibly go wrong, then sees something more.
