Sometimes individuals enter transactions after the fact, but use date for transaction when the activity really happened ... this puts inventory history in sequence it was actually recorded ... then other individuals ask why the history is not in date sequence. We are now on 405 CD & have learned from BPCS/36 experience that messing with sequence #s is something we do not want to touch with a 10 foot pole. Since ITH is used a lot more places than INV300 history, such as CST900 for example, I would not want to modify complexity there. We had a modification during physical inventory to insert a record in the history when there was a physical inventory & no tag for some item that BPCS had thought was non-zero, so that the on-hand went to zero, but we wanted to show the thresh hold where that happened. The IIM remembers the last ITH sequence # issued ... what if those 2 #s get out of sync ... can you lose transactions? Then there was BPCS/36 code that assumed the sequence #s were contiguous, like we would delete unwanted records from ECL & some other program would read record 1 2 3 4 5 ... oh, there is no 5 (because we deleted it) but the program would end at that point thinking it was done ... without going on to process 7 8 10 12 etc. > From: brobins3d@yahoo.com (Bill Robins) > > Unless someone has direct knowledge of the reverse (btw, these statements > are my experience with 405CD), messing with the sequence numbers will only > affect the INV300 historical display of transactions.
