Kits could be a bit flaky in older versions, and,
allocations don't always happen the way you expect them to.

Pick confirm by order is always a bit risky. The design does not provide the
ability to change/perform allocations.

Considering the finality of this step in the process, it's always a good
idea to go through the extra effort of confirming by line to ensure the
allocations are as expected. Else, I suspect the work around you have found
is your best alternative.

We are experiencing some problems confirming a kit item. There is an
option of confirm by item, enter, or confirm by order, F14. When
selecting by line any item not allocated will pop up the allocation screen
and the user can press F9 to allocate. By order does not do this so we
must allocate before confirming, or the line is back in enter status.

We have established a check to verify the order is allocated. But on F14
confirm by order, there seems to be a problem with the Kit. The Kit does
not confirm of invoice. The components create all the = transactions and
balances are correct. The kit has the = transaction and creates an
onhand but a B Transaction is not created.

Does any one have a suggestion? There must be some differences in
ORD571, by line, and ORD573, by order.

To fix the order and inventory we change the component code in ECL from
"P" to an "N" and confirm that item. This will create the needed "B"
transaction and correct the inventory and then invoice.

Roger,

When you confirm by order in 405CD the system presumes that you have all of
the allocations taken care of. Therefore if you want to confirm by order
and not by order line then you should add an extra step to run and allocate
at ORD550 by line. Or run the batch allocations program ORD400 ahead of
time. This will assure that all of the lines are allocated before you run
ORD570.

Hope that this helps.

subject: [BPCS-L] Guidelines for BPCS-L mailing list

This is the BPCS list server. It is devoted to the discussion of topics
related to Infor's (formerly System Software Associates') Business
Planning and Control System (BPCS). We can generally concede that topics
involving AS/Set, ODW, and BPCS "bolt-ons" are acceptable. Discussion of
other software products as they relate to interfacing with BPCS is fine.
Discussion of hardware platforms as they relate to BPCS is fine as well,
but do not attempt to promote one platform over another. Discussion of
platform strengths and weaknesses is allowed.

Opinions are both welcome and encouraged, but longer threads should be
held "off line". Same for personal experiences. All versions and all
"flavors" of BPCS are welcome, as well as all hardware configurations.
Please contact the list moderator at bpcs-l-owner@xxxxxxxxxxxx if
you have any questions regarding appropriate content.

Questions regarding programming techniques as related to AS/Set or ODW are
allowed; however, native programming not specifically related to BPCS would
be better served on the midrange list server, MIDRANGE-L, or an appropriate
UNIX forum. Connectivity and AS/400 related questions, unless specific to
BPCS or CIMPath, would be better served by MIDRANGE-L as well.

While the participants of this list are happy to answer questions and
help solve problems, it is greatly appreciated if you do some of your
own research beforehand. Before posting a question for the first time,
please take a moment to review Eric Raymonds excellent FAQ "How to Ask
Questions the Smart Way"
(http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html).

Flames are ABSOLUTELY prohibited. We are all adults here, and can express
our discontent without childish remonstrations. Any person caught issuing a

flame will be immediately terminated from the list, or be forced to maintain

one of the "500" programs using screen arrays instead of subfiles and at
least twelve "dead" subroutines -- you decide which is worse.

Employment related discussions are off-topic in this technical discussion
forum. Please restrict abstract employment discussion to MIDRANGE-L and
specific employment discussion to MIDRANGE-JOBS.
