Editing Outside Processing in Closed Mfg. Order

Hi Mapics ML Group:

System: Mapics DB Y2K Mod 4; 
Inventory Costing not interfaced to G/L

We had a situation where a Mfg Order (MO) was closed and purged into History 
before all the related Outside Process (OP) had been charged to it.

I believe I found a way to edit the MO in History (using an AS/400 utility 
program) so that the OP is reported correctly.

1. Manufacturing Order History Master (MOHMST)

Change the amount in the field, ISSUE COST (ISSCO) to the correct amount.  
(This field summarizes both the raw materials and outside processing charged to 
the MO.)

2. Manufacturing Order History Operation Detail (MOHRTG)

Change the amount in the field, RUN LABOR COST TO DATE (RLCTD) to the correct 
amount.  (This field summarizes our outside processing charged to the MO.  
Because the particular routing operation was for OP, it doesn't contain any 
Direct Labor.)
 
Have I overlooked any other MO History files that might bounce off the changes 
I'm proposing above?

Do you see any "down side" for me if I make the above changes to this 
particular MO in our History files?

I suppose if something gets screwed up, I can always go be and change the file 
back to its original state, as to these two record fields.

I look forward to your comments.
