Re: [SYSTEM21] Location Control

["Angus Appleby" <aappleby@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

We get some balances going out of sync in location control - particularly 
a bin location which is called INL2038 sometimes gets created when a 
balance goes negative. There are two places I believe need to be looked at 
by Geac as I think they are causing the problem :-

- the cancel picknote option does not always put the stock back
- if you confirm a quantity short at confirm despatch, I think it leaves 
the balance incorrect here also

Havent been able to work out what the transaction types mean. It's also a 
pain that Geac don't provide a movements enquiry, or even include the user 
name(!) in that movements file.

Interestingly, the Geac rebuild programs rebuild from bottom up, ie. it 
assumes the locations are correct and works up to INP60. We have written 
utilities here to keep INPLD/INPLH & INPLE in sync with their respective 
others, INP60 & OEP55.

Any other comments about Location Control would be interesting, I didn't 
realise many others used it!

Standard System 3.5.2sp4

On a location controlled stock room, I have a
few part numbers that have 'somehow' ended with
negative balances in there locations (the total
of the locations still equals the balance of
the part, eg, my INP60 balance is 12, but my
location balances are 13 and -1)

I am trying to figure out how this has occured.
In file INPLF (location movements) I can see
entries that sets the locations to 13 and -1 but
how do I find out what program did this??
There is a Unique Reference # ,  what other files
is the ref # in, what does it reference to??
The Tran type is 'O' does this mean something??

Any pointers greatfully received.

Thanks,
Gary.
