Re: BPCS 4.03 and BIL600

the post ship billing sequence (like the BIL500 series uses data areas and
busy flags to control the process.  when the process is interrupted, it leaves
files in an unsynchronized manner.  Your problem sounds like it occurred in
the BIL620 series of programs.  However, based upon your message I am not sure
if you are talking about one instance or a combination of them which left the
files in different stages of update.  

The way to most easily fix this is to identify the files which have been
updated and the ones not yet updated, similar to what you have described.
Don't forget the GJW.
Then determine if a different order type will provide you with the appropriate
update of the remaining files. (i.e. do not update inventory, do not update
A/R etc.) If you can find one satisfying this, then re-enter the orders again
using that order type and reprocess them.  You may have a problem relating
order numbers to invoice numbers.

Don't forget to get rid of the old records in ECL (workstation member) and BBL
(workstation member and BBL member.
