SYS21 - Re: FW: SYS21 - Held WIP AFI Extract Problem... (M1)

[Jeff_Klipa/Harvard@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

Yeah, thanks we had already done precisely what you suggested to determine how
to reverse the mess...

Further investigation shows that MK200 (F18) provides a subfile for entering
Held WIP and you can enter pages of records if you desire...
But at V3.5.1 the background processor could only handle 4 transactions per tran
#...  Doh...!!!
Our V3.5.2 SP4 World shows us that indeed the problem was recognized and fixed
in the higher version...
The added a multiple occurrence data structure with a size of 100 at first and
later bumped that up to 1000...
So it appears in V3.5.2 you can process 1000 records per tran #...  Seems a bit
extreme but OK...

Thanks...

G'Day...

Jeff,
Sounds very nasty.
At least you can use the duplicate FIP45 records to identify the duplicate
Inventory records (INP95/6+?) and fix your Inventory valuation.
Good luck finding out what the '71' records are all about.

Regards

Michael

Subject: SYS21 - Held Wip AFI Extract Problem... (M1)


Has anyone out there had any experience with the GL Update Flag not being
updated in PCP56 when you have more than 2 Held Wip transactions for a
particular TRAN # in PCP04...?

Our AFI Extract FIPCEXTRACT suddenly quit working recently and we traced it
back
to some transactions entered from Item Booking where the user pressed F18 to
Enter Held Wip Details...  The pattern we found indicated that if there were
more than 2 Tran Type '71' Held Wip associated with the Tran # then the GL
Update Flag in PCP56 would not be updated properly for some of the '71'
transactions...

This meant that these records would get included in the AFI Extract every
time
it ran...  Populating FIP45 with duplicate transaction #'s every time.

Obviously this created a mess in our Inventory valuations and eventually the
AFI
Extract started failing for some as-yet-undiscovered reason...

So this is a huge problem...

As a work around we have instructed the data entry people to manually add up
the
Held Wip Tickets and only enter 1 ticket with the total Held Wip for that
Tran
#...  This seems to have resolved the problem but we're wondering if anyone
else
had seen this yet...

We are still at V3.5.1 so it is highly possible it has been fixed in a more
recent version of the code...

Any feedback would be appreciated...

Thanks,
