It might help people help you if we knew your version of BPCS.

If you are using ROs correctly, according to the BPCS documentation, then there should be no call for data patching. But the ROs are kind of complicated, leading to temptations to seek shortcuts, which need modifications to support the shortcuts.

We used to do ROs a couple years ago, before consolidating facilities.

let's make sure we talking the same thing.
The RO gets an order type to move the product between two facilities, but not update A/R or sales history. This means that there should be no RAR record. RAR records are for billing outside customers. Standard COs are for outside customers, but there are special kinds of COs, ROs are for internal between your facilities.

To complete an RO
You have a special kind of CO type in the facility that is to send it.
The inventory has to be received in the facility that it is for.
Is that an "H" transaction?  I do not remember.
The inventory has to be sent from the facility that made it ... this goes through the regular shipping picking billing process, except there is no invoice to an outside customer at the end of the road.

The ECL record contains the warehouse that it is coming from, and the warehouse that it is going to. There are fields showing quantity ordered, quantity received, by the "H" transaction or whatever at the receiving facility, the quantity shipped, from the sending facility. Until these counts are in agreement, the job is not yet done.

There are fields in BPCS that are normally populated for one kind of transaction and unpopulated for other kinds of transactions.

We can have one ECH record with a ton of ECL lines, representing separate transactions. Also watch out for multiple members of the CO related files.

You need to look in your transaction effects, to see what transaction is supposed to be used to receive the RO transaction at the receiving facility, and the process needed to identify the RO. It does no good to receive the inventory if you not give credit to the RO it is for.

This is one area where you may need a modification.
If people have been receiving the inter-facility inventory, without identifying the PO or RO that it came from, then there is a task of reconciliation facing you.


Hi,

I have many re-supply orders which are invoiced. But still not getting status 5 (completed) but having status 4 (ready for invoicing).

I found that ECH shows Original Document Number field populated with Invoice numbers, however, ECL shows Qty. Invoiced (LQTIN) field as 0 (zeros) for all these re-supply orders.

Also, SIH record is populated but NO SIL record, NO RAR record got populated.

a) Can somebody pl. help me investigate this ?

b) What things I need to look at ?

c) Is Data Patching be only solution to resolve this or is there any better solution?

Thanks & Regards,,

Prashanth
