Actually - It can happen with any transaction - always when multiple transactions are being processed almost simultaneously.
Contrary to what Al implied - doing a reorg may just cover up the error. For example, when the error is that only half of a T transaction updates the ILI record, you have a chance of seeing that there is a problem if the IWI record is processed correctly. (I'm looking at one of these right now). After a reorg, the IWI record is forced to agree with ILI.

We have noticed that - had no idea where or from what transaction code it was coming from?

Don - Related to Dan's point #2 - there are occasional instances in which transfers do not process totally correctly, and you end up with different balances in ILI from IWI or IIM. Without the ITH reference, it would be tough to figure which is correct. If you haven't experienced this problem, you are either lucky or no one has noticed it.

Don,
There might be 2 draw backs to your logic:
1. If your company requires any G/L postings from these transfer types
(T) then there wouldn't be any transactions to fulfill this requirement.
2. When the users are using INV300 and looking at the historical transactions (F21) then, there won't be any transactions in the ITH file to support a balance forward in a particular warehouse and/or lot/location combination. It might be confusing to the users.
When the user presses F/21 for historical transactions the system will read the ITH file starting with the latest transaction sequence in the item master file and then starts reading the transaction history file
(ITH) starting with the number retrieved in the IIM file and then reads backwards.
There aren't any negative impacts on any period end close programs at all.

Subject: [BPCS-L] ITH - Transfer type records
Greetings,
405CD - I am thinking about dropping the writing of records to the ITH file for Transfer Type transactions (they dominate the type of record in our ITH file).
I was wondering if anyone could tell whether or not there would be any "negative" impact on the month-end Cost and/or Accounting close programs
- i.e., any errors which may pop up w/o these trasactions being in the file? I would only stop the writing of the Transfer from/to records to ITH - all other file logic would remain the same (in the transfer program).
