OOPS ... I forgot to mention

We are BPCS version 405 CD thru release 02 with the Y2K BMR package
and OS/400 V5R1 on a model 170 AS/400

in which 95% of the personnel doing the BPCS job are not the same people 
who got the BPCS education, due to turn-over of personnel and other reasons.

We are not on OSG and try to exhaust all possibilities before resort to 
calling tech support.

Thanks for the reminder.  Turns out we Ok there, although our environment 
includes multiple cooks.  Over the weekend I opened the April period for 
the first time, and I know some of the other cooks were not able to get on 
because over the weekend we had a condition known as "T1 line down again 
*swearword *swearword."  In fact a hypothesis I had earlier was that one or 
more of the cooks behind in their work due to this condition.

Tonite after Billing, and if no access conflicts, I will double check this 
before once again doing GLD540 for April and March.

GLD End of Period Routines
After all postings completed:-
GLD310 to list journals with status Error or Unposted (if any)
GLD500 to view and correct any journal with status Error as indicated in 
previous step. Status then changes to Unposted
GLD510 to post all Unposted.
GLD310 again to unsure there are no remaining Journals with status Error 
or Unposted
GLD200 Report should also be zero
GLD105 Close Period

This problem
==========
Approx $ 150,000.00 worth of Sales data is in files GJD and GJH with 
status 
code JU (unposted) for fiscal 2006 March and this weekend was end-month 
fiscal 2006 March.  We need to figure out what needs to be done to get 
that 
posted to the GL.  This is top priority right now.

There was some shipping / billing / other transactions posted Monday April 

3 and that ALSO is in the same unposted condition.

In other words, the data has left GJW file, is now in GJH GJD with record 
id 'JU' and needs to move to GGM then change to 'JP'  How do we accomplish 

that?

I am not a GLD expert.  There are many gaps in my G/L know-how..  But I 
need to get this resolved.  I am the local BPCS Guru.

The assumption at the moment is that
* We are doing something wrong or incomplete that needs to be figured out
* This is not a case of a BPCS bug or something crashed

Our process
=========
* late nite when everyone off of updating BPCS, AlMac runs INV920 then 
GLD540 for current fiscal period.  Some nites AlMac not run this, either 
if 
other people real busy late into evening, or AlMac busier than usual with 
some software project or whatever.

Sometimes there are errors, which AlMac leave on DianeAccountingLady desk 
(or on printer where she knows where to find) and she does her thing to 
resolve those errors, and get the associated GL batches to a 
conclusion.  AlMac did this several nites recently, including last Thurs, 
last Fri, there was no one updating stuff on our system on Saturday, as 
far 
as AlMac could tell, but after this problem was brought to AlMac 
attention, 
Mon nite after completion of all shipping and billing for the day, AlMac 
ran INV920 again, also GLD540 for both March and April.  (There was stuff 
there for April but nothing for March.)

* DianeAccountingLady is caught up on resolving errors from GLD540 
reports.  AlMac not know the precise GLD programs she uses for this ... 
AlMac have never needed to know before, because everything was running 
hunky dory

* After AlMac announce to management that I got done with EOM (which I 
worked on from Fri nite thru Sunday afternoon, with several in between 
naps) other people run with the derived data.

* DaveTheBoss discovered an approx $150,000.00 discrepancy between total 
sales reports and what the G/L had for total sales for 2006 March

* While trying to resolve this, AlMac found approx $ 10,000.00 discrepancy 

between different ways of looking at sales for the month, which AlMac 
believe are related to RMAs, Discounts (Terms), and Freight charges

Other clues
=========
RMAs get entered to our system the DATE the stuff comes back from 
customer, 
but it may be a month or so later before everything resolved, and the 
Billing finalized (credit the customer HOW MUCH, actually get the problem 
repaired) ... let's suppose it came back December, and was resolved March 
... the stuff gets "posted" in December, even though it is finalized in 
March.  Let's suppose by this time we have closed year 2005 fiscal.  Well 
in that case we just *censored ourselves.
