Re: Duplicated Costs

["Chick Doe" <Cdoe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

yes i have seen this problem very explicitly!

i have done quite a bit of research on it and it appears to happen when you get 
multiple cost gens (cst600/cst500) running simultaneously. in our case we use 
the bpcs configurator product and the last step of the configuration process is 
to perform a selective cost generation. it was these cost generations that were 
running simultaneously. to solve the problem we created a unique cost set to be 
used solely by the bpcs configurator cost gen processes. this cost set cannot 
be used for anything as it consistently has duplicate cmf cost records. i have 
written some audit reports to look at the cmf file each evening and the 
duplicate cost records only appear in this cost set. my recommendation would be 
to keep the users from submitting cst600/cst500 to eliminate the possibility of 
multiple users submitting multiple jobs at the same time. run them in batch 
once an evening!

Checking costs were equal in two facilities, I
discovered that my CMF file has duplicated costs. I
mean there is more than one record for the combination
CFPROD, CFFAC, CFCSET, CFCBKT. This was reason why I
had diferent costs between two facilities after doing
a Cost Inter-Facility transfer. I deleted those
records but I am getting more. I suspect the CST600 is
the program that is making these duplicated. Has
anyone has seen this problem? Any ideas how to solve
it?
