Re: OSP Processing

James, 

Which Release are you on?
 
IF R6, you need to checkout the new integrated OSP functions.  They provide the 
ability to automatically release an OSP "service" PO whenever you release an MO 
with an OSP operation.

If not,  recording the quantities in PCC   ...  and ... AP will duplicate the 
transaction.  You can adjust your transactions to NOT record quantities in AP 
and NOT matching.  this would require you to setup proper clearing accounts, 
etc. so the GL stays accurate.

Hello everyone! We have a process here that we just discovered doubles the 
quantities for Operations that are OSP's. The doubling impacts transactions 
found in MOTRAN & information found in MAPICS PCC Job Screen. On our routers we 
have specific workcenters that identify OSP's, and there will be a PO for the 
process. When the parts return from the vendor Receiving clocks ON the OP, then 
after they pass Inspection they clock OFF the OP reporting the quantity good. 
The OFF transaction populates MOTRAN. After we receive an invoice (a week or so 
later) from the vendor, AP will create a batch to apply cost to the Operation. 
This process creates PCC transactions that when posted created an additional 
OFF transaction in MOTRAN that doubles the reported quantity. This impacts mfg 
job summary screens as well. I'm not sure I detailed the process well enough, 
but I'm hoping some one recognizes the process and has a suggestion. I searched 
the Midrange archives but did not find anything. I also used MAPICS's website 
with out results. I plan to pose the scenario to MAPICs, but I was hoping to 
get better insight from the board! I appreciate any insight or comments, thanks 
in advance! Regards....james
