Re: Query on resupply order

[Al Mac <macwheel99@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I hope you not mind me sharing this with the group, since they give 
valuable info where I am ignorant.

Do you have some resupply orders that worked, or are they all failing?
Is this a situation you have inherited from past employees who used ROs 
before you came to work there, or is your company just starting to try to 
use ROs for first time?  If you are new to the situation at your company, 
or there has been turnover since it started on ROs, there may be 
modifications in place where someone was supposed to do something, that was 
poorly documented, but now they gone, and the action no longer being taken.

Are the "B" and "H" transactions for the full amounts of the ROs or are 
these partial activities?

How about the record id?  Does ECH ECL show "CZ" (pretty much done)
Are there other records on the ECH such as ECS?

From what you say, there is some stuff you have that we not have on 405 
CD,  We not have "II" or "IR" transactions.  Order Type "9" agrees, but we 
not have the Base stuff.

The "B" occurs for us during the shipping process, before the actual billing.

Review System Parameters ... how long you keep records after stuff all 
done, which can be extremely misleading.

When you do RO inquiry, are you able to access them normally, or do you 
have to select "Y" on include closed orders?

Check on your system if you have a file called BPCSDOC.
It may be in the library that has BPCS execution software.
There should be members for each of the applicatins, accessible via SEU PDM 
and other programmer tools.

Updating documentation is one of the last things that gets done, so 
typically it shows an older version reality, but you may find clues in the 
one on DRP.
