RE: IWI and ILI Imbalances

        We are on version 6.1 on an AS/400.

        We do not have the problem you state. BPCS is handling negative on
hand balances correctly here.  It is generating nonsense balances, plus or
minus, sometimes.

                Dick,

                You don't say what release or platform you are on.  I can
only tell you
                about what we have found.  There is some very questionable
logic in many
                BPCS programs that state that if a transaction causes the
onhand balance of
                an ILI record to go negative, it WILL NOT, it will only go
to zero.  They
                didn't seem to take into account that sometimes transactions
are committed
                out of order (especially in a Cimpath environment) and a
receipt may come in
                after an issue.   I bet the same thing is happening to you.

                Bill
