RE: PCC MOs become Status 55 by themselves?

Are you using PLM&C? One of the tailoring questions is to have PLM&C
automatically perform an OC transaction for you.

Hi Mapics ML:

We've been experience a very unusual problem at our shop
which almost has "X-Files" written all over it.

Once a week, our production person moves Manufacturing
Orders (MO) from Status 45 (we don't use Status 50) to
Status 55, so that they can later be closed out (purged)
into IM's MO History file.

She keeps a written log of the MOs that she moving to
Status 55 and we have an In-House report generated that
lists all the MOs that are new to Status 55.

The problem is that other MOs are showing up on the report
that she DIDN'T move to Status 55.  I am unable to figure
out what factor is in place that is moving these
unauthorized MOs into Status 55.  (As best I can tell,
there's no audit trail in Mapics showing the Work Station
that changed the MO status.)

I have spoken with Mapic Support about this issue but it
has not been resolved and remains an open Inquiry Number.

I look forward to your comments about this problem and
maybe a solution can be found?  I really don't expect this
to be an "X-Files" issue but you never know!
