Paula,
We wrote a quicky blaster program that clears our MODATA on a quarterly
basis. That's how often we measure those accounts overall. We report
monthly from IMHIST, and a total quarterly. Of course, the periodic basis
would be up to whatever rules the accountants come up with. Our over-all
measurements are on a quarterly basis.
We use LOTS of MO's here at Fleetwood (usually over 5000 open at any given
time, and average length of time they are open is a week, max). We
recycle M/O numbers fairly often. MOHMST is quite large....
What we have found is that if we use "MSFxxx0" numbers (where "xxx" is
some 3 numbers), they don't conflict with MAPICS' numbering. MAPICS only
goes M000000 through M999999. I have never found a problem with using
"M-alpha-alpha-digit-digit-digit-zero" order numbers.
Been doing this since the old S/36 MAPICS II days! Waaaaaay back! When
IBM ran things! When PTFs were on 8" floppy disks! When 1.2GB was all
the hard disk you could get! (I know, the S/38 did more...) Remember the
AMXM00 diskette? Nightly condenses so you could run a Work List? Single
threading of jobs? (I'm showing my age, aren't I?) The AS/400 has been
an unbelievable improvement... (sorry - iSeries).

Dale,
Don't you have to reset the MO numbers often? Then you have to worry
about
duplicates in your database. Just a warning Tom, that is you use lots of
MO's during the month you want to limit the letters you use in the MO
number
to avoid confusion. You will also need to reset the MO number in CAS and
you need to have a way to do it automatically or have your night operator
(if you have one) have explicit instructions on how to reset it for the
other shifts to avoid problems.
Good luck,
Paola Groeber
