Re: Customer Allocations - Incorrect Display????

[MacWheel99@xxxxxxx]

In theory, except for what is being shipped today, the quantity picked, 
shipped, invoiced should be identical.  We can have some lag in our 
production reporting, such that the inventory does exist & we are going to 
ship it, but the picking process drives the on-hand inventory negative.  
Under stuch circumstances, I do not believe the customer allocations total 
can be correct.

Create a query/400 to list discrepancies where quantity picked shipped 
invoiced is not identical & also show date of last inventory activity shipped 
invoiced etc.  You may find that, like us on 405 CD, that there are some 
garbage totals in need of Customer order clean up.  

Now when there is no more garbage in the system, I should think that MRP 
should want to subtract on-hand picked shipped or invoiced from quantity due 
to be produced, so that what is left to make will correctly meet the 
customer's requirements.  As for INV300, perhaps we can collectively suggest 
a BMR-E-Enhancement to SSA GT that a command there could show inventory 
status at various stages of picking shipping invoicing, since there are 
different viewpoints regarding what needs to be tracked where.
