Re: Unexpected SFC735 Error 6.02 -- BPCS-L

We have run into other problems with labor ticket posting as of 405 CD that leads me to conclude that there is a design flaw bug.

As labor tickets are posted, a flag is thrown to say that the updating has been done for the FLT labor ticket history content. No such flag is thrown for the consequences of the ITH inventory transactions posting what was made or consumed & that is one design flaw bug.

Something gets hung with the labor posting process. If the end user involved was to place cursor on the error message and F1 and read the details, an appropriate response might be taken, but often the end user does not do so, just presses enter, which invokes the default response to the error, which often is not the most appropriate to the situation. The crafting of what is a default response is another design flaw bug.

The software loops back and retries all the steps from beginning of transaction batch up to the point where there was some kind of conflict, such as someone else in middle of shop order maintenance, walked away from work station with that shop order locked against any other activity updating it.

Since the FLT is flagged, those transactions not reposted. Since the ITH is not flagged, those transactions prior to the block point are now double posted, and the end user might take the same inappropriate response again. We have had thousands of transactions extra posted because of this.

Unexpected SFC 735 Error Message we have had it and what has happened is
there is some problem with the system that in the middle of posting a
shop order it suddenly shutsdown. If you look at your audit report in
your print que you will see that it has posted the order, but did not
relieve the components. Since our MIS guys can't seem to figure it out,
the only fix it for production has been to go back and relieve all the
component parts affected.

I was hoping someone else may have run into this.  When running the Shop
Floor Posting option the users are getting this message.
" Program Terminated by Unexpected SFC735 Error Code:   Return Code =
04"

I think we may have had a job and/or session end abnormally but the
users are not exactly sure.
I looked that up and it appears that it is a bad chain to IWM (Warehouse
Master) from what I can tell.

If anyone else had every run into this and would like to share how they
corrected please let me know.

Thanks in advance.    Kevin W.
