From Al Macintyre BPCS 405 CD Thanks for the wonderful education of BPCS_L. I compared Patrick's list with ours. I got an education leading to adjusting what we reorg. Patrick & others might also be interested in the differences. > as a small note we are running bpcs 6.1.01 full client server and have the > following rebuild programs run in batch before any nightly processing takes > place as there are glitches in the software Patrick's nitely sequence for 6.1.01 c/s = INV971 SFC990 ORD990 SYS990 INV972 INV973 ACR970 INV970 Al's weekly sequence for 4.0.5 CD 2 m/m = SFC990 ORD990 SYS990 INV971 INV972 ACR970 ACR972 MRP990 3rd party Customer Order Change History Refresh Some key differences in the sequencing 1. INV971 vs. SFC990 ORD990 SYS990 Patrick does INV971 first. Al does it last. Al thinks better to reset allocations after the unwanted stuff has been cleaned up. 2. ACR972 on Al's list but not on Patrick's This resets corporate customer # to be in agreement between RCM & RAR If you do not use corporate customer #s you might not need this 3. INV970 is on Patrick's list but not Al's. We had previously determined that it is suicide to be deleting inventory master records in the middle of the month - we do this in end-month processing immediately after INV900 of a month when physical inventory is not in the picture. We do not do physical in the sequence SSA reccommends ... shop floor ceases production a few days before end-month & are processing inventory tags while other departments business as usual. Thus on physical inventory months we do not want to be killing inventory records that existed at the time that the tags were generated. 4. INV973 is on Patrick's list before INV970 but it is not on Al's list. I was not familiar with this & checked it out Allegedly it combines recalculate expiration and retest dates (which are not relevant to us) with purge IWI records with no inventory or requirements, looping through ILI & various kinds of order files to determine if that's the case... thus if we're going to purge both ILI & IWI it might be more efficient to run INV970 before INV973 (less records to loop through) Incidentally we also run SYS120 right before CST900 because CST900 without SYS120 takes 4-5 hours CST900 with SYS120 takes 2 hours SYS120 takes 20 minutes I am wondering if something similar might help run time of CST600 Thanks also to the original stimulating questions Thanks again Patrick for this reorg review I am proposing that we add INV973 to our monthly check list MacWheel99@aol.com (Alister Wm Macintyre) (Al Mac) AS/400 Data Manager & Programmer for BPCS 405 CD Rel-02 mixed mode (twinax interactive & batch) @ http://www.cen-elec.com Central Industries of Indiana--->Quality manufacturer of wire harnesses and electrical sub-assemblies - fax # 812-424-6838 +--- | This is the BPCS Users Mailing List! | To submit a new message, send your mail to BPCS-L@midrange.com. | To subscribe to this list send email to BPCS-L-SUB@midrange.com. | To unsubscribe from this list send email to BPCS-L-UNSUB@midrange.com. | Questions should be directed to the list owner: dasmussen@aol.com +---
