subject: Moving BPCS to a different machine 

If you're being forced into a new box for reasons 
like Srikanth's three-site consolidation below, it 
makes sense to archive your BPCS data. Why? 
Because you might be able to order a smaller 
processor for that new machine if your 
historical data have been archived. 

Please consider reading this information about our 
new archiving software, Locksmith for BPCS: 
http://www.unbeatenpathintl.com/locksmith_bpcs.htm 

If response time is forcing you to consider a new 
box, archiving is a much less expensive alternative to 
try first ... especially if you consider the eye-opening 
cost of a new key typically quoted by SSA-GT.

[ ..... ] 

Option #1 - One iSeries, 3 BPCS instances.
This is probably the easiest and cheapest solution, because BPCS really
doesn't have to be touched.  This should essentially be a save/restore
solution, especially if you put the three instances on separate LPAR
partitions.   [ ......... However, ] If you move BPCS to another machine, 
you will have to obtain a new license key from SSA.  Unless you 
are on support, that is not likely to be free. Good luck.

Dear All,

[ ..... ]  I need to plan for system consolidation in the 
next few days. We have 3 different BPCS environment 
with versions 3.7, 4.0.0.5 and 4.5CD running on AS/400
platform at 3 different locations. I have been asked
to look into the following consolidation options:

1.  Consolidate 3 BPCS instances running in 3 boxes

Hi,

Can anybody tell or point me to a document where the BPCS platform
percentages are stated.

Par example as/400 90% - unix 9% - NT 1%

Thanks in advance,

subject: BOM Reorg in Conversion

Can anyone tell me if BOM900 in 405 CD corrects all the IIM fields related 
to BOM linkages, or if there are any fields that are missed?

I checked the archives and see that BOM900 updates IIM.ILEVL low level code 
but what I want to know is if it also corrects IIM.INSEQ which supposedly 
tracks volume of MBM items related to any given item.

We are 405 CD and our situation is that due to long recession, foreign 
competition, and other factors, we have developed excess capacity and are 
closing another factory.  This means that I will have list of customers 
whose business was done at facility 30 moving to facility 20, and another 
customer list moving from facility 30 to 40.  We need to write a program to 
go down the BOM in facility 30, for end items linked to relevant customers, 
which I can do, and copy those records into the other facility.  So 
basically I will be dumping records into MBM FRT MPN and perhaps the cost 
files, hoping that a BOM900 at the end of it will fix any IIM fields used 
for navigating those records.

I can't just substitute another facility for 30 because after I get done 
with the engineering, other people will be moving requirements so that the 
production will continue in facility 30 until closure, while MRP will be 
planning the same stuff in another facility effective some cut-off date.

A related issue is down the road when we start deleting stuff from facility 
30.  I am hoping that if we blanket delete stuff in facility 30, that 
BOM900 will clean up our BPCS data base for us when we are finished.

Hi.

This can be for a couple reasons.  One reason is that the prefix is
different 
(changed or inactive?).  The second is that the sold to customer and and
bill 
to customer are different and you are putting in the wrong customer number.

I think that it will be one of these reasons.

Perhaps because it wants that invoice is for this year. In the key of search
there is also the year and type ( this should be 1, invoice))
Your BB 9339 is of 2003?
I hope this helps.

An other possibility is that it's check RAR file, in version 6.1 there is a
BMR MR0044167 that remove it when order type affects inventory.

subject: RE: Purchase Price Variance Against Outside Operations

Got it!!!  There were no bugs.  My wife works in A/P (24 hours/day - ain't
life grand?) and she's been saying that the variance calculation was
'spotty'.  Sometimes it worked and other times it didn't.  It turned out to
be vendor type.

Vendor points at a vendor type
Vendor type points at G/L accounts, including a variance account. (The
vendor type we were using didn't have a variance account set up and that was
our prob)
Routing is coded with a 'C' (for cost) and contains the cost.  (I wish BPCS
allowed more than $999, which we need occasionally)
When the PO is keyed, the purchasing agent fills out the 'Y' outside
operation, shop order number and route step.
Purchasing agent returns to line entry and blanks out the cost and hits
<ENTER>.  The line cost (PECST) is then filled in with the route-step cost.
A/P enters the invoice against the item which has been received with a 'OO'
(outside op) transaction and ensures the PO# is entered on A/P entry.
Quantity and invoice cost are filled on the next screen.
Ignore the next screen
Last screen has the A/P G/L distribution and it works like a champ!!!  I
earned a kiss from the A/P person :)

Rob,

I would be very interested in your findings.
I have a someone working on V2 of BPCS that has the Outside Operation marked
as 'Y' on the Purchase order and the Price Variance still goes against the
complete item cost.

Thanks,

Rob,

We found the problem here (and we are 405CD); the Outside Processing Flag
on the PO Detail Detail screen was not Y, thus the shop order and operation
number were zero as well.

If that's not the case for you, I've heard a rumor here that if the
contract is no longer valid it won't price correctly either.

Bill
