Pick Confirmation -- BPCS-L

Mark:
I too have seen the multiple pick confirm problem when a user bypasses the
detail confirmation screens.  EWR is just a working pick file and so is
transient in nature.  I would suspect the session disconnect and the mass
pick confirm may be coincidental, but in case it is an "undocumented
feature"  you will want to audit ECH, ECL, ECS, BBH, BBL, IIM, IWI, ILI, ITH
so you can see what data has been processed and what programs did the
processing.  If you need help with this feel free to contact me via this
list and I'll walk through the steps for you.

1.      We are on 6.1.2MM.
2.      We do not use ship confirmation.  We use pick confirmation (creates
the B transactions, BBH/BBL records etc..).
3.      During pick confirmation a user lost connectivity.
4.      Shortly afterwards another user, pick confirming one order, shipped
159 orders!  We had to adjust inventory, issue credits, etc.



We are currently tracing the job stream (EWR, etc.) but wondered if anyone
else has had this problem.  If so, what files did you find that were
corrupted?



This is not the first time this has occurred and I want to put into place an
SOP (what to cleanup in BPCS and how to process the orders that were in the
midst of being pick confirmed) to address this issue if it occurs again.
Any input is appreciated.



Thank you.





Mark

Hi Mark,

I am currently working for a client who also uses Pick confirm as opposed to
Ship confirm.

I have never seen a situation like this after a session crash, usually it is
just a matter of resetting the in use flag and a few files for the order
that was being processed at the time.  However, I have seen a situation
happen where all allocated orders for a warehouse have been confirmed
because a user has pressed F6 from the first screen (ORD570D1-01) - but none
of the files got corrupted.  Is it possible that this has happened on your
system?

In our case we took away the F6 functionality!  This is in V6.0.02 MM which
I think is the same.

I don't know if this helps you ... it may give you something to consider.
