RE: ACP310 is not showing all the invoices -- BPCS-L


Al, thanks for answer.

I believe you are right the subfile is not taking more than a specific 
number of records. Howeve, the program is created in ASSET and I do not of 
any specification of that kind for the subfile. Actually, you dont have to 
create the subfile, it created by itself. Perhaps I should check the RPG 
code, but I am not very good at it.
I was thinking on create another program to review these invoices, but I 
would like to keep my users working with that single BPS program.

Most of the invoices are paid already, but the company has wanted to keep 
that information in the system. Perhaps is time to change some company 
policies.

Thank you.

from Al Macintyre

First idea is that perhaps you have more invoices than the sub file is
designed to display ... suppose the field for recording vertical lines on 
the
screen is 3 digits to 999 ceiling, then when it hits the 1,000 entry to go 
to
screen, the place that it is to put the data is already filled with entry # 
1
& you get that error message.

Then when you recover from the IBM error message you are left with whatever 
fits vertically in the BPCS subfile for screen which is not all the 
invoices
& you get the same set again & again because the subfile cannot build any
higher.

I have not looked at the code to know that for a fact ... this is my
speculation.

My suggestion is that you develop a query/400 or other way of viewing
invoices that goes after a narrower range, such as by date ranges, so users 
can get at the data until you figure out what to do with this.

Does this volume mean that your company does not pay invoices until they 
are
4 months old & that the vendor that sends you 6,000 invoices a month is
incapable of providing consolidated documents?  I'd say it is time to get
another vendor, and pay bills more promptly.  How do you process that 
volume?
 Do you have human beings transcribing that volume of invoices into BPCS, 
or
is the data automatically entered somehow?
