Re: Credit Available -- BPCS-L



I've been seeing different responses to this same question.  I know Al, did
not submit this question, but I did not keep the original e-mail.  This
field is calculated when the Daily File Rebuild, program CDM602 is run.  If
you press help, after taken menu option, there is a list of what this
program updates.  The two fields in the RCM, that ARE UPDATED at time of
transaction posting are, the amount of A/R due, and the open order amount.

If the contents of the field appear to be incorrect, areas I might suggest
someone check out is --- what happens when the pricing is changed on what
we
sell our customers --- we typically choose to change price when the
customer
has an engineering change or the quantity they normally want shifts
dramatically or they do a lot of emergency pull-ups & we want to bill them
for the costs of rushing their product through the system, but sometimes
human error gets a wrong price & there is need for billing adjustment, and
ORD500 repairs for the rest of the open orders.

Sometimes we discover, as the result of a customer question, that we have
been billing at the wrong dollar amount.  The manner in which corrections
are
made might not get all the totals in the system in balance, since sales
dept
focus is on fixing pricing for FUTURE orders & accounting focus is on
balancing the FINANCIAL books as far as the customer is concerned.  When an
RMA comes in for repair, the focus is on rapid turn-around of correct
repairs.  We do use Billing Adjustments to repair reporting errors in the
shipping department.

There are a bunch of reorgs on the SYS reorg menu - many of them touch
customer orders & receivables, particularly open totals.  My personal focus
has been on cleaning up negative allocations & actual inventory totals, but
we have had some craziness with corrupted costs.  If you need the source on
a
particular program - ask for the latest BMR on that program.
