We have managed to have some shipments leave our facility with no price. A timing oversight I imagine ... sometimes new customer requirements are added so that BOM will order the raw materials, before the customer has approved the samples or we have figured out exactly the best way to make the product, then we go back later & update records with info we did not know at the beginning, but the customers are anxious & it is possible the first shipment will get to them before all the data is into our data base. I asked the Billing clerk what is the procedure for catching & repairing this sort of thing & basically SOMEONE happens to notice it & she does a Billing correction. So I took the SS* history & back computed average price from recent sales shipments invoicing & compared it to list price & listed items with significant discrepancy. Some of these items our people had not been previously aware of. Apparently when multiple lines on an invoice are wrong, it is more difficult to spot all of them than when only one line is wrong. But most of them someone had previously fixed & it was explained to me that when we do a Billing adjustment via BIL6 something or other option, all they can do is $ connection to customer, they cannot connect to the ITEM that was shipped unless someone does an adjustment to the original order & even then the only thing that makes sense is an ECS line, which will simulate item on the invoice correction, but not write to item summary SS* files. I am figuring that this scenario writes RAR to customer receivables, but lacks the usual S* file detail. When I do billing, I list the BB* story first & check if anything is missing price, then I plug it into BB* & the Billing appears to come out fine, but I suspect there may be some problems that need to be adjusted to avoid messing up the profits since a lot of data comes from ITH, & B transaction has already been incorrectly populated by shipping, long before we are adjusting input to billing, & that incorrect data is what goes into the GL. At this point it is too late to fix the customer order, for purposes of this billing, because it has wrongly populated the shipping records. We do fix the order if it is still open, so that hopefully history does not repeat on the next shipment. I also now run a report every day that lists customer order lines that have managed to mislay the price.
