   Have you done a successful backup, or did you get an error message that
   some file could not be backed up because of some problem with some index
   or data corruption?

   Have you done a reorganization of the allocations?  Did it run Ok?

   It is always possible that people, in the middle of updating stuff when
   the outage occurred, were doing some task where their program left records
   out-of-sync.  Even though the AS/400 probably has UPS in good condition,
   people at work stations, PCs etc. may have been abnormally terminated. 
   Control files may be different for your version than us on 405 CD ... we
   have sometimes done a dump of data areas looking for settings out of
   whack.  Problem is that when stuff goes haywire, the victims not always
   realize they need to notify IT that something needs fixing.

   We also have "list various files" all records where an IN USE flag is on. 
   When everyone off system in evening, there should be no hits.

      We are version 6.04, a couple of weeks ago we had a power outage (this
     may or may not have anything to do with it), and every since then our
     warehouse allocations are not working for one of our warehouses.
     We have checked the warehouse maintenance which is flagged for
     allocations; we have checked the order maintenance records everything
     looks ok there; we have checked the facility planning records which
     everything looks ok; Item Master Maintenance looks ok; the pick release
     selection options in ord 550 look ok; and the warehouse location
     maintenance looks ok. When we put an order in for this particular
     warehouse the allocation does not come out on the pick list, nor does it
     show in the Inv 300 screen. Can anyone tell us what we missed or what
     could possibly be wrong?
      
     Thanks for your help

     Peter,
     Who is paying for the parts?
     If it the end customer, I would think you would want the customer setup
     for A/R.
     If not, set up one customer "Spare Parts". Overide the address at order
     entry time to be the address for end customer where you are sending the
     parts.

     Hello BPCS midrange group members,

     Our main customers are OEM and Wholesalers.
     We have setup the master records (customer master, Ship-to addresses,
     pricing, etc) for the order/shipping process.
     We are using BPCS 8.2

     We are now facing a new challenge for our customer service department.
     They have to deliver spare parts to the end-user of our products.
     An end user can be compared with a one-time customer, for which we don't
     want to set up a customer master, ship to address etc...

     Has anyone of you solved this within the standard BPCS functionality?
     If not, what 'BPCS interfaced ' partner products are you using?

     Kind regards,

     Peter Heeren

     We are already 'mis-using' a standard customer as mentioned in your mail
     for free deliveries of service parts and override the address in order
     entry or create a ship to address.

     When the end user has to pay, we need to set up the ACR customer.
     ACR is owned by our accounting department, while order entry for these
     parts is done bij our customer service desk.
     In this case we need to involve 2 departments for s simple 1-time
     delivery.
     I was hoping there was a quicker work around.

     Thanks guys.  The term "expected cost" sounds familiar but if I have
     ever
     delt with it before it's been long enough that the storage in that part
     of
     my brain has already been reclaimed.  :)  Dan's answer brings up another

     question--what does PPV stand for?

     Still, my original question wasn't about the expected cost field, it was

     about the actual cost in PACST.  Is that field the total cost from all
     receipts against that line, the cost of the last receipt against that
     line, or something else?  To me it looks like the total but then we
     don't
     typically have multiple receipts against a single line but that's not to

     say that it never happens.

     Your findings are truw:

     Withn the G/L the U transactions will post the std cost that is on the
     PO
     at the time the PO was entered  and will affect the Inventory asset
     account and accrued liability.

     When the PO is costed by AP the C transaction posts the actual cost from

     the AP invoice and measures the PPV against the std cost on the PO vs.
     the
     actual cost on the AP invoice.

     The expected cost will default into the AP invoice.

     The actual cost from the AP invoice is a global cost and is not a
     facility
     cost.

     We recently had a similar confusion on 405 CD & it turns out
     that while the rest of BPCS has standard cost, actual cost,
     frozen cost, etc. the Purchase Order application has another
     cost not found any place else = EXPECTED COST.

     What happens is, when the PO is first created, the expected
     cost field is a copy of the standard cost, then after the
     vendor confirms our PO with the delivery date, pricing etc.
     our Purchasing people update the PO with that info.  The new
     cost goes into the EXPECTED COST, which is what we expect the

     This impacts a lot of purchasing reports and transactions.
     Right now we are trying to reconcile the General Ledger
     account where "U" transaction adds value when the inventory
     arrives in house, and the "C" transaction when ACP keys in
     the vendor invoice.  In theory the only money in that account
     should be the value of raw materials that arrived, but not
     yet the invoices.  Reality is a different story.

     Also, our SYS800 rules say that everything is to go into BPCS

     That makes sense.  It's been a long week and my brain is only on half
     power today.

     Thanks guys.  The term "expected cost" sounds familiar but if I have
     ever
     delt with it before it's been long enough that the storage in that part
     of
     my brain has already been reclaimed.  :)  Dan's answer brings up another
     question--what does PPV stand for?

     Still, my original question wasn't about the expected cost field, it was
     about the actual cost in PACST.  Is that field the total cost from all
     receipts against that line, the cost of the last receipt against that
     line, or something else?  To me it looks like the total but then we
     don't
     typically have multiple receipts against a single line but that's not to
     say that it never happens.

     Your findings are truw:

     Withn the G/L the U transactions will post the std cost that is on the
     PO
     at the time the PO was entered  and will affect the Inventory asset
     account and accrued liability.

     When the PO is costed by AP the C transaction posts the actual cost from
     the AP invoice and measures the PPV against the std cost on the PO vs.
     the
     actual cost on the AP invoice.

     The expected cost will default into the AP invoice.

     The actual cost from the AP invoice is a global cost and is not a
     facility
     cost.

     Subject: Re: [BPCS-L] PO Actual Cost

     We recently had a similar confusion on 405 CD & it turns out
     that while the rest of BPCS has standard cost, actual cost,
     frozen cost, etc. the Purchase Order application has another
     cost not found any place else = EXPECTED COST.

     What happens is, when the PO is first created, the expected
     cost field is a copy of the standard cost, then after the
     vendor confirms our PO with the delivery date, pricing etc.
     our Purchasing people update the PO with that info.  The new
     cost goes into the EXPECTED COST, which is what we expect the
     actual cost to be.

     This impacts a lot of purchasing reports and transactions.
     Right now we are trying to reconcile the General Ledger
     account where "U" transaction adds value when the inventory
     arrives in house, and the "C" transaction when ACP keys in
     the vendor invoice.  In theory the only money in that account
     should be the value of raw materials that arrived, but not
     yet the invoices.  Reality is a different story.

     Also, our SYS800 rules say that everything is to go into BPCS
     based on LAST STANDARD COST, but we have found out that some
     purchase order transactions go in as LAST ACTUAL COST.
