RE: Suspended Batches

Suspended batches, or even batches that are closed but not finished, will 
cause the back-up to fail if you are tailored for immediate update of 
inventory.

I make it a point to check for any unfinished batches before I leave for 
the day and run a transaction register to close them if necessary.

The following is a MAPICS response to your question that can be found in 
the MAPICS web site FAQ's:


"When tailored for immediate update of inventory management transactions 
(I002 Transactions in batch mode = N) all batches must be in a finished 
status before you will be allowed to run a MAPICS backup. If tailored for 
batch update (I002 = Y) you can backup your files with non-finished 
batches. See CAS User's Guide chapter referring to Back Up/Recover/Reorg 
for more information".

Do suspended inventory batches keep the backup from running? I have heard
conflicting stories.

Thanks
