        Kent - Sure sounds like our problem. 

In our system what appears in the TCOM field in each B transaction is the
P.O.# of the Customer Order that is being shipped.

                HP/Oracle 6.0.04

                We had a similar situation:
                We had 2 items on the same day that had no ILI or IWI
records.

                PR transaction for 4 and 1 respectively

                B transaction for  4- and 1- respectively

                In both cases the ILI updated correctly but the B
transactions did not
                update IWI.

                Both B transactions had a Transaction Comment in ITH (TCOM)
of "VC-5".  This
                has no meaning anywhere in our system.  SSA helpline checked
with the
                programmers and it has no meaning to them.  I queried ITH
and this does not
                appear anywhere else.  This field is populated by BPCS.

                Does this mean anything to anyone?  

                Dick do you have anything in this field?

                                What we have sounds different - the
resulting inventory
                balance is
                        correct in either ILI or IWI but not both.  Here are
two specific
                examples:

                                #1 - Item G3KFC/3404770, for which no ILI or
IWI record
                existed on
                        6/1, we had:

                                PR transaction for a quantity of 1 on 6/13.

                                Result was Receipts of 1 in both the IWI and
ILI records,
                and a
                        total of -1 Adjustments in the IWI record. 

                                No other transactions prior to this one.
ILI shows one on
                hand, IWI
                        shows zero.

                                #2 - Item 9542703010, for which on 6/1 there
were no ILI
                records,
                        and an IWI record containing zero opening balance,
zero adjustments,
                zero
                        receipts and zero issues.

                                On 6/22 we had a B transaction for 2 and a =
transaction for
                2 (We
                        shipped this kit) - and ended up with an ILI record
containing
                Issues of 2
                        and Receipts of 2.  The IWI record, however, had
Receipts of 3 and
                Issues of
                        2.  So ILI showed zero on hand but IWI showed -1. 

                                No previous transactions since 3/22.

                                        Hi Ho.

                                                How about that INV971D.
Kidding.

                                                We are also experiencing the
same problems.
                SSA
                        cannot duplicate the
                                        problem and this leaves us to fix
the problem
                ourselves. SSA
                        when trying to
                                        duplicate the problem probably only
generate 10
                        transactions. We on the
                                        other hand generate about 50,000
transactions of
                which 10 or
                        so items are
                                        affected.
                                                
                                                We to have noticed the B and
T transactions
                are
                        giving false
                                        information. For those who are
wondering what we are
                talking
                        about. This is
                                        the situation.

                                                In your INV300 you will
notice a MTD and a
                YTD
                        column. These columns
                                        are the sum of Issues - Receipts -
Adjustments -
                Sales for
                        the month and
                                        year.

                                                The B and T transactions:
                                                        The "B" transaction
will affect the
                Issue
                        and Sales
                                                        The "T" transaction
will affect the
                        Adjustment

                                                For some unknown reason the
quantities are
                being
                        posted in the wrong
                                        place. 
                                                        Example: A "B"
transaction for 20
                will post
                        against the
                                        ADJUSTMENT and SALES. Remember the
"B" should affect
                the
                        ISSUE and the
                                        SALES. 

                                                What those this do to my
inventory Marc, you
                ask?
                        Nothing. Your
                                        inventory is adjusted properly,
since the
                calculation is
                        (Opening + Receipts
                                        - Issues  - or + Adjustments). Even
though the
                transaction
                        was posted
                                        incorrectly as an adjustment the
calculation for
                your on
                        hand is correct.

                                                I have written a program
that fixes the
                problem for
                        YTD. Since your
                                        MTD at the end of each month goes to
0, I never
                bothered to
                        write on that
                                        fixes the MTD.

                                                Hopefully Dick, someone else
will notice
                this and we
                        could make a
                                        case to SSA. Let's keep in touch on
this one.
