RE: Month End Processing

Joe's point is a good one, however after about 10 months of
month-end-Sunday-nights staying up well past midnight to close inventory
for 15 plants I was motivated to automate the month-end close as well...
You do need to be vigilant about monitoring the close to insure that every
companies calendar is advanced correctly...  You will have no end of misery
if you have transactions posted to the wrong period...  Yuck...!!!

We wrote a fairly sophisticated routine that encompasses all of the
inventory month-end-close into one large routine that we can schedule in
Machine Manager...  I am sorry that I cannot share the code for this with
you as it has much hard-coding that is proprietary to our unique
configuration...

I still do the year end close manually even though it can be scheduled...
I don't mind staying up late once a year...

I do appreciate your desire to automate the month-end close, however it
will take a custom solution...

Good luck.

Why would you want to Machine Manager a critical cutoff like the Inventory
Close!!!!!
Inventories must be properly reviewed for Negatives, Adjustments, Cycle
Counts, etc.
This is a critical function that should be handled manually, (not to
mention
year end as well).

Hello
Does anyone know how to run 2/INC (Inventory Month end update) within
Machine Manager.
As there is no batch program to perform MM does not accept it.
The Interactive CL initially calls the Inventory Movement Valuation Report
followed by IN105 (RPG) but it seems that IN105 also has an interactive
element.
Can anyone help ???
