Re: Shop Order Material Reversal

We are on 405 CD, whose trade-offs and program names may differ.

We report labor using JIT600, which is SFC600 under the covers, except
JIT600 handles labor and inventory processing, while SFC600 handles only
labor. From time to time we discover there was some bad input, which we
need to back out. We use SFC600 for the labor part, because SFC600 supports
negative input, while JIT600 does not, and we use INV500 for the inventory
fixes. There's some transaction types, where you enter the parent part, and
it issues the CI for all the components ... one INV500 data entry, a ton of
transactions generated.

There can be a complication with an assembly where there are a string of
reporting steps, and different materials issued at different steps. JIT600
recognizes what's consumed at the different steps. INV500 does not.

Subject: [BPCS-L] Shop Order Material Reversal

We are on 8.3.

We created a shop order for assembly of a machine, with 5 reporting steps.
After completing 3 steps, we realized that the BOM was wrong, and we need to
reverse the CI transactions already entered. There are about 500 of these CI
transactions.

How do we enter negative quantities for each of the "completed" operations
in reversing them in such a way that it generates reverse CI transactions?
Some times in the past this has worked for us, but it doesn't this time.

What's the trick to making it work?
