RE: BPCS-L Digest, Vol 3, Issue 167/ re: Forecasting

RFolsome:
Are you talking about the MRP 100 Forecast  or are you talking about the
Forecasting Module?  We use the MRP Forecast for our 2 plants and
numerous warehouses, and we have just started using the Forecast Module,
so we can see Seasonality and period usages. If you need more
information on the MRP 100 Forecast I would be glad to walk you through
it, if you would like to call.
Best of Luck

subject: [BPCS-L] ACP - Invoice Entry problem.

While one of our users was entering an Invoice, we lost communication on
the session and the Invoice went on a "Pending" status. SSA's advice on
the recovery for this Invoice is to use Option 15= Recovery/Restart to
recover the Invoice and then to complete the Invoice immediately.

 

Our Systems Owner does not want to make use of this procedure and rather
suggest that the Invoice gets deleted and re-entered. His reason: The
Purchase Order does not gets updated as well as not all fields populate
to
the GL as it should.

 

Any Comments on this, I'd like to prove him wrong as I've been using F15
all the time.

 

Regards,

Kobie Jooste

I agree with SSA's recommendation.  F15 was created just for this
purpose. 

When you delete the invoice you are not sure of what has been processed.
