Re: Unprocessed Labor Tickets

We have several situations that lead to labor tickets not getting processed,
which may or may not be applicable to you.

When labor tickets are posted via SFC600 (labor only, no inventory
backflushing) or JIT600 (labor and inventory) in 405 CD, the tickets go into
a "batch" in the name of the user work station, with J on end if JIT600 in a
member of file FLT. If you list whatever is in FLT other than member FLT
this ought to be obvious to you.

So we have clerical worker(s) keying in the tickets, and at time of entry,
BPCS validates the input. No let's suppose after the input is validated,
some other clerk goes into shop order maintenance and closes some shop
orders, or makes other changes, on the very shop orders that are for the
labor tickets that are sitting in a SFC600 or JIT600 batch that has not yet
been taken to a conclusion.

When SFC620 or JIT620 runs, to post the tickets in the batch, BPCS cannot
post those that are on shop orders that some other person has done shop
order maintenance on in the mean time.

That is ONE problem, caused by failure of inter-communication by the people
working on the data, and failure of the person about to do maintenance to
know how to check whether there's any labor ticket batch not yet taken to a
conclusion.

We have other problems, but navigating the situation is complicated by
version of BPCS and the fact that we have modified this.

Subject: [BPCS-L] Unprocessed Labor Tickets

I have a situation with Labor Tickets in BPCS that aren't getting
processed  and
I was wondering if any of you can point me into the right direction of what
to
check. And if I understand correctly if the labor tickets dont get fully
process
then that means some of the mateiral dont get backflush correct?  I created
a
report that runs at the end of the day that list all the labor tickets with
a
status code of '1S'. I believe that code represents Locked and waiting to be

processed?  The finished material has beed issued so those records should
have a
P=Posted on them. And when I check the Shop Order on some of them the
qauntity
remainging is zero but some of the Labor tickets dont have a P=Posted beside
the
tickets.


Any idea what could be causing those Labor Tickets not to get posted and I'm

assuming I would  have to go manually posted those tickets to flush the
material
out the system but I would like to determine the cause of the problem.


Thanks in advance,
