RE: RAR "Z" 405 CD Receivables

[vincent.byrne@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

We are also on BPCS CD REL02 and also have our parameters set to 365 days.
We run ACR900 with a 'Close Through Date of 99/99/99' and it does physically
remove a chunk of the RARs at each month-end.

ACR900 marks with Z all the items to be closed but only the Z records closed
for over '365' days are removed. See the ACR900 help screen for a full
explanation.

I had a look at our RAR and almost all Z records are less that 365 days old.
The ones older than 365 days appear to relate to RCMs that have been
deleted, so there is possibly an anomaly here.

        We do run ACR900 at Month End.
        A/R History is set in System Parameters at 365 days
        In fact no history is set at any more than 1 year

        I know that some of these histories like ITH & FLT are meaningful,
tying into 
        Month End steps, while some of them are missing any closure like 405
CD has 
        no BIL900 or ORD900.  I would like to see a list of what files
accumulate to 
        infinity and what has proper closure.

        The answer seems to be that at 405 CD there is nothing that makes
the "Z" RAR 
        go away - I need to add something.

        On an earlier version of BPCS, than we now have, we mucked with the
INV900 so 
        as to have different numbers of days retention of different kinds of

        inventory transactions, since some of them did not need to be kept
365 days, 
        and some they wanted kept to infinity.  I do not reccommend doing
this, just 
        saying that is possible.
