We are using IBM Laser printers. It all depends on how your printers are set up on your system. What are you printing?

However, we have opened a can of worms. It appears when we first implemented System 21, our only modifications were to do with printing. We could not get an appropriate skip on our new dot matrix printer, and we could solve this by playing around with the print file. However, if we had to change the printer again, we would have the same problem. We have been told that a HP or IBM laser printer would not have any of these problems. However, we are nervous of buying one now without some indication that it would work. Does anyone have the spec of a currently available HP or IBM laser printer that appears to work with System 21 without any difficult set up problems? Thanks, Kate Healy EI Electronics. -----Original Message----- From: system21-request@xxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:system21-request@xxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: 12 February 2004 18:01 To: system21@xxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: SYSTEM21 Digest, Vol 2, Issue 37 Send SYSTEM21 mailing list submissions to system21@xxxxxxxxxxxx To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit http://lists.midrange.com/mailman/listinfo/system21 or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to system21-request@xxxxxxxxxxxx You can reach the person managing the list at system21-owner@xxxxxxxxxxxx When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific than "Re: Contents of SYSTEM21 digest..."

RE: [SYSTEM21] Sales orders posted into the wrong period (Michael Berman) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- message: 1 date: Thu, 12 Feb 2004 10:18:50 +1100 from: "Michael Berman" <berman@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> subject: RE: [SYSTEM21] Sales orders posted into the wrong period Yes, The flow on effect can be very dramatic. Sometimes it may be better living with the problem for a month than spend 2-3 months cleaning up after it. I would recommend having a reconciling figure when trying to reconcile Inventory to GL and wait out the month. Adding appropriate documentation so that the auditors don't complain too much. Please remember the AR Statements will also show the original Debit and correcting Credit then the Debit again! You Customers will certainly become aware that something amiss had occurred. You may need to consider a short note to go with the statements saying that there was a System Glitch. If we were to use words from the message file for the note on the statement, would it say, "A Problem Has Occurred - contact JBA/GEAC/someone who cares". Did we mention sales analysis, or the Debtor Average Days to pay etc?? I always demanded a chocolate cake as a reward for correcting problems was caused by a User. It helped morale, especially for those people spending valuable time cleaning up afterwards.

Let this be a warning to all of us out there... This could happen to anyone of us at any time. If you've ever had this particular mess to clean up then you will appreciate where Gary is coming from right now... Mike hit the nail squarely on the head... Since the period number for all SOP -> A/R invoice postings are based on the current Inventory calendar period, that means that all of Gary's Inventory movements and G/L valuations after week one of 10402 are posted to 10403...!!! Doh...!!! So INP95, INP96 and PCP01 and the explosion of files that the OSLMJ background job proliferates into (to name only a few) are 'infected' with the wrong period... Talk about a domino effect...! Assuming your using AFI the G/L will be carrying these valuations in the wrong period as well... So once you fix the A/R side as you have suggested your G/L will be thrown off again... The accountants will not be able to balance the A/R with the Inventory... Ouch, what an ugly mess...!!! I suffered a similar event in 1997 when unbeknownst to me a user had actually closed the Inventory period twice...!!! It took a while to realize the error but by then the damage was widespread throughout the database... I attempted to clean everything up but I was left with the nagging feeling that I never did find all of the files to fix... Needless to say I don't let the users populate the calendars or close the Inventory Period any more... And, even though we have successfully automated the Inventory monthend close I still always log in and check the Inventory and Sales Analysis calendars to make sure the current period is set correctly before any users are allowed to post anything... An ounce of prevention IS better than a pound of cure for sure in this case... It's a good thing we have users to blame these kinds of things on... ;8<) Have you audited your security for the Calendar Maintenance options lately...? Good luck Gary... ----Original Message Follows---- From: MLemon@xxxxxxxxxxx Reply-To: System 21 Users <system21@xxxxxxxxxxxx> To: system21@xxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: RE: [SYSTEM21] Sales orders posted into the wrong period Date: Wed, 11 Feb 2004 08:25:20 -0500 Did all of your inventory movements post to the correct period? Each invoice/credit is almost guaranteed to be accompanied by some inventory movements in GL? If you are correcting this via JE, then you may want to SQL the period in INP95/INP96. I'm certain that there are inventory reports that look at the period in these files. -----Original Message----- From: Gary Shipp [mailto:gary.shipp@xxxxxxxxx] Sent: Wednesday, February 11, 2004 5:49 AM To: SYSTEM21@xxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [SYSTEM21] Sales orders posted into the wrong period A user at our company made an error when creating our calendar file for 2004, entering dates so that period 2 was only effectively only 1 week long and period 3 7 weeks. Several sales invoice posting sessions were performed before anyone noticed the error. As a result, we now have a few thousand invoices in period 4/3 instead of 4/2. The calendar has now been corrected, however, the accountants want the items moved into the right period. What I was intending to do is as follows; 1) Use the SL Interface to firstly credit each invoice currently in period 3, than create new invoices in period 2. We realise that new invoice numbers will be created and are happy to put up with this. 2) SQL OEP65 and OEP70 to correct the period number from 10403 to 10402. Are there any other issues that I need to consider addressing? Is simply SQL'ing OEP65 and OEP70 an acceptable solution to resolving the incorrect periods on the SOP side of things?
