Many records in BPCS get a Z plugged in when the requirements have been
fulfilled. It is how BPCS says we are done with this.
This soft coding, instead of immediate removal of the records, is in the
interests of system productivity. If records were removed immediately, it
would lock out access to the file to all the programs needing access, to the
entire file, not just the records being updated.
It is more efficient to have an evening run, or a weekend run, of programs
which eliminate, or archive, records which are no longer needed.
Similarly, new records are added to the end of the file, not integrated in
index sequence, until one of the file reorganization jobs run during end
week, end month, etc.
In the case of Billing, there are a series of programs to create invoices,
update orders, add to Receivables, General Ledger. Each one does its thing
to several different kinds of records, but all the relevant input may be
needed for several programs, so the actual removal of completed records
occurs at the end of the job stream.

Subject: [BPCS-L] ERP Lx / BPCS V8.2.01 - Lot Control and Invoicing.
Any idea why the Invoicing Program: BIL500 will set the Lot Status to a
'Z' if the SO's Required Qty. and the Manufactured Qty. are the same or
when the SO's manufacturing has been fulfilled?
Is this a Global Setting, and can it be switched off?
Kind Regards,
