Re: Interesting Problem

     We just ran into this same problem today.  Actually the sequence 
     number just starts recycling itself and creates duplicate sequences.  
     History transactions continue to write to the file but INV300 has a 
     problem diplaying because of the duplication of sequences.  We have 
     only hit this on one item and a month end purge should take care of 
     us.  Keeping our fingers crossed!!

We have several items that are high volumn sales items.  We have a need to 
keep our history of these transactions (ITH) for a year if not longer.  It 
seems that in the ITH file, there is a sequence number that is created and 
added to the file for each transaction.  Well, SSA only programmed the 
sequence number to go to 99999.  Well if you keep the history file without 
purging and it is a high volumn item, the sequence number will run out and 
it will cause the system to stop logging the inventory transactions in the 
ITH file.
     
I thought I would post this to for warn user of the possiblity of this 
occurring at your locations.
     
Thank you
