Random erroneous shop order issues


We are on BPCS 8.0

The problem is that we discovered this week that occasionally a shop order is created with erroneous required quantity values. (Example - our BOM calls for 1 per of a component but the FMA file calls for -139).

Because the value was negative, the resulting issue was positive. So, in the example above, the CI was issued for POSITIVE 139. We had interesting cycle count results which resulted in this being caught.

The basic BOMs are correct; other shop orders for the same end-product are correct; the base system functions fine.

Have any of you had a similar problem and found a cause?
