RE: Un Pick -- BPCS-L

Tom's recurring challenge is a bit different from what recently happened at
Al's company.

We are at 405 CD in which our only modifications to the shipping software
is to the actual forms that are printed.  Our people wanted much more
modified, but an earlier management decision was to do our modifications
without AS/Set, which is an astronomical challenge for the ORD5* programs.

Al's co-workers had got the orders picked but NOT CONFIRMED.
Use the PICK CONFIRM but specify quantity as ZERO - that reversed the prior
step of picking.

Tom's had already gone one further step where Al's was Picked but not
Confirmed,
Tom's were Picked AND Confirmed.

I think I am missing something here, but this issue comes up fairly often
and we have to complete the order and then issue a RMA.  We are on Version
6.101.  Once an order has been pick confirmed the order goes to ready for
invoice status and the record id becomes inactive.  If I run Pick Confirm
ORD570 by order number it comes back with "No records found for selected
criteria"
How do I get to a screen to put in a 0 quantity?
