Re: BPCS question on ITH - performance hint INV920

[Ata510@xxxxxxx]

There is one more thing I would like to add to the INV920/ITH discussion.

Performance of INV920 job stream (INV921B) can be pretty poor on version 6 if
you have large numbers of transactions (30,000 for example) in ITH that have
not been considered for posting and thus are blank in the TSTAT field. If not
every inventory transaction type in the ITH is something that will post to the
G/L, you can speed up this processing by using SQL to 'pre-mark' the records
which would not post to the G/L anyhow with a 'Y' in TSTAT. This will fool the
INV920 program into skipping them (thinking they have already been processed,
it will not go through the logic on whether or not the transaction type should
be posted etc.) and the program will complete faster if the number of
transactions you do not post is significant. If you post everything, then
obviously this will not help.

As usual, test this first and use this recommendation with some
caution/intelligence about what transactions really do/do not need to be
posted before trying it in production.

A BMR exists on this program for performance, but it doesn't seem to help, and
likely a new BMR will be raised soon.
