Re: Drop Ship & Purchase Orders -- BPCS-L

We do not do drop shipments & are on 405 CD so some clues here that may be 
helpful but not fully solve your problems.

> The "bad" ECH field HSTAT is an "E" (have not found a list of valid codes) &
>  the "good" ECH has a "7".
>  The "bad" ECL field LSTAT is an "E" & the "good" ECL has an "8".

The ones you mentioned
E means ENTERED & not done squat with yet
7 means partially invoiced but not yet finished
8 means partially invoiced but no quantity left to do

You also have to look at the codes for active or closed order.
There are some activities that flip the status codes & "close" the order but 
there are still quantities open to be posted, because it is in the middle of 
a series of steps

Locating your ECH & ECL status code meanings.
Check BPCS_L archive search 
http://archive.midrange.com/bpcs-l/index.htm
for a post by Wendy H DeCair on "Order Status Codes" 
(on my bulletin board at work)

She had gone to the trouble of transcribing what they all mean from BPCS help
(I am lazy by comparison) & you might check SSARUN04 documentaiton

Easier for me, since I have BPCS source code is to look at the help source 
for ORD300 in QPNLSRC of BPCS405CDS & scan a few F16 times for Status, and up 
pops the full chart of what the status codes mean in the ECH & ECL files.

I don't have handy dandy quick & easy access to all status code rule charts 
in BPCS but I am hoping this much is helpful

I took a look at our HPO file.
All line #s are positive numbers
no zeros in there

PO status appears to mean
0 when no transactions yet
1 when parital receipt and costed
2 when all quantity received but not yet costed
3 when quantity received and receipts costed

AS/400 V4R4M0 - behind one set of ptf's from the current set, groups & cum -
BPCS ver. 6.0.02 plf, full client/server, Mar'98 cum

When entering drop shipments, I have one order whose corresponding HPH/HPO
have invalid field contents & I cannot get to the order to finish the
billing process.  The po was receipted, a few lines here & a few there so
they never noticed the extra lines?????

I am comparing a "good" order & po set to the set "bad" I am having trouble
with.  They both are to the same customer/ship-to/item - just different
dates.

The "good" HPO purchase order detail contain the correct number of lines,
which is 40 & they are numbered 1 through 40.
The "good" HPO field PBUYC has a "7" & field PCLIN has "001".

The "bad" HPO purchase order detail contains an incorrect number of lines,
which is 55 & they are numbered 1 through 55.
The "bad" HPO field PBUYC has a " ".
The "bad" HPO field PCLIN has negative "029-" for order line 1.
The "bad" HPO field PCLIN has negative "028-" for order line 2.
The "bad" HPO field PCLIN has negative "027-" for order line 3.
The "bad" HPO field PCLIN has negative "026-" for order line 4.
The "bad" HPO field PCLIN has negative "025-" for order line 5.
The "bad" HPO field PCLIN has negative "024-" for order line 6.
The "bad" HPO field PCLIN has negative "023-" for order line 7.
The "bad" HPO field PCLIN has negative "022-" for order line 8.
The "bad" HPO field PCLIN has negative "021-" for order line 9.
The "bad" HPO field PCLIN has negative "020-" for order line 10.
The "bad" HPO field PCLIN has negative "019-" for order line 11.
The "bad" HPO field PCLIN has negative "018-" for order line 12.
The "bad" HPO field PCLIN has negative "017-" for order line 13.
The "bad" HPO field PCLIN has negative "016-" for order line 14.
The "bad" HPO field PCLIN has negative "015-" for order line 15.
The "bad" HPO field PCLIN has positive "001" for order line 16.
The "bad" HPO field PCLIN has positive "002" for order line 17.
The "bad" HPO field PCLIN has positive "003" for order line 18.
The "bad" HPO field PCLIN has positive "004" for order line 19.

 and etc. through line 39

The "bad" HPO field PCLIN has positive "025" for order line 40.

For  purchase order detail records 41 through 55, PCLIN has a -0-(zeros) in
the field.

The "bad" ECH field HSTAT is an "E" (have not found a list of valid codes) &
the "good" ECH has a "7".
The "bad" ECL field LSTAT is an "E" & the "good" ECL has an "8".

Any clues as to what I need to do so I can complete the drop ship process?  

Or any clue as to what the operator may have done to give us our mess? 

Or any clue where the negative 29 comes in for the line number?

Any clue how it can count right & get to 40 & leave the last 15 po detail
records unsequenced?

Rather confused this day before Thanksgiving here in the States & I was
trying to end the week without any more problems????

I hope the abover makes sense because I'm not sure what we need to do to
rectify this error before month end.
