Re: Customer Order Processing Problems -- BPCS-L

I have attached a chart of the open order statuses as of V4.04,  they
probably have not changed any.  SSA can send you a new listing though if
they have changed if you call the help line (and wait...) that is where I
got this list from.

We also get some orders that are not soft deleted upon completion and even
some that are left in status 8 - the invoicing state, so our users can not
go into them put they show on their open orders.  We just manually clean
these up as they are found.  SSA keeps telling us they have no BMR's for
this or that it is a problem, it is due to mods we made.  But I guess we are
not the only ones getting this!!! Maybe more people should notify them so
they realize it is their code that is not cleaning up closed orders.

Hope this helps.
