Re: Interesting Problem

[Bill Robins <brobins@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Quite interesting, but I bet it's not true -- it just looks that way.  Speaking 
from
a V4 and earlier perspective, the sequence number is used only for the INV300 
inquiry
so that the transactions are listed in reverse "addition" order -- not reverse 
date
order (an important difference).  I bet if you were to either Query the ITH for 
this
part number, everything will be there, it is just they have a low sequence 
number
(kinda the Seq6K problem???).  If you had the patience you could keep rolling 
through
all of the screens and see the "missing" transactions mixed in with those 
wayyyy back
in the past.
