RE: Interesting Problem

We have ran into a problem with the ITH sequence being set wrong.  This has effected only 19 items.  I am exploring the possibility that INV900 has set the sequence wrong or that one of the program that writes ITH records set it wrong.  Has anyone once ran into a problem similar to this?  I do have a program that will set these sequences right but am trying to find the cause.  We have relative few ITH transaction for these items say 500-1000 ITH records.

We have a similar problem, and have solve it with a summary file.  We have
our ITH file set to 365 days, then summarize to a file that stores info by
item, transaction type, facility, etc., with 24 buckets for each item.
This lets us see, for example, the CI transactions at a particular facility
for a specific item for each of the past 24 months, although not the
individual transactions.  A similar summary file for as many monthly
buckets as you might need might be helpful for you.
