We process many "B" transactions for the same customer / product / date. We have been dealing with this sequence number problem for some time for our fastest moving items. I am thinking about writing a program that would replace all ITH "B" transaction records older that a set number of days with summary records where one record represents all such transactions for the same customer, product, date. For anything older than 60 or 90 days we really don't need detail information -- just the ability to identify when some abnormal movement took place. once the unconsolidated records are replaced by the summary records it is easy to resequence the file and update the sequence number field in the IIM. (In fact, we do that part already as part of our purge routine.)

We are in trouble this month when we went over the 99999 limit. What I am planning on doing is creating a new item number "X", changing the item number for old item in the ith file to the "X" number for Jan-Mar. Then using a re-sequence program to re-sequence the old number for the April records so we can close and buy some time. Long range, I can only think of expanding the sequence field. Has anyone done this? Or any better suggestions? -----Original Message----- From: bpcs-l-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:bpcs-l-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Sally Bosman Sent: Thursday, April 17, 2003 3:26 AM To: SSA's BPCS ERP System Subject: Re: ITH Seq# > 99,999 Hi, You have had some very good advice regarding this but please remember, if you are going to write a program to resequence your ITH file (Tom Sult's reply), you also need to consider updating the IIM file. We have software that will archive the ITH (not to YTH) and will resequence records. Please contact me offline if you are interested.
