Production Receipts

[Alister Wm Macintyre <macwheel99@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

We are on BPCS version 405 CD which has been modified.
We operate by facility.

There is a report I run, end each week that shows total Production Receipts 
for the month so far for a particular item class times a particular cost 
bucket.  I thought it peculiar this EOW that there were zero hits, but my 
priority was getting the Inventory History problem wrapped up.  But now 
that is resolved (ITH/IIM fixed ... nothing yet done with EOM software), I 
looked into this other thing.

I find that we have been reporting lots of PR transactions via JIT600 for 
the first week of September since EOM but all the files that track Receipts 
are zero for the month so far.
IIM.IRCT IWI.WRCT ILI.LRCT are all zero

Thus this is both by facility and global.

This is most peculiar and seriously wrong.

I have checked INV355 to make sure PR is still to affect receipts.
I will be checking all transactions there that affect receipts to see if we 
have had any negative activity.

I will be checking to see if shop orders were correctly updated for the PR 
transactions posted for month so far.

There were some reports we ran at EOM that showed total inventory based on 
Opening Balance for the Month ... I plan to run them again, and compare, to 
see if Opening Balance for the Month has changed significantly, which is 
what we would expect to happen if BPCS posted activity but thought it 
applied to a prior historical fiscal period.

I checked GL fiscal period date range correct ... last week was in September.
I checked dates of PR transactions to verify they were posted with valid 
last week dates.

I will be checking IWM to make sure the warehouses are still in the right 
facilities.

I have not touched the software that updates the inventory in eons, and I 
will be checking the external dates on our software to make sure no one 
else has either.

What else makes sense to check?
