TSTAT is blank in the ITH

There's a lot more than just "the transaction".  There appear to be 693 ITH
records with this date of various scrap transaction types.  Some were
finished goods WIP of various states of completion which probably
backflushed...

I can't discern anything in GJH or GJD.  With the advent of Sarbanes-Oxley
I'm inclined to not try fixing those.  I'm thinking that doing reversing
transactions for the 2006 date followed by re-entering the transactions
with the correct 2004 date is the way to go.  It keeps it simple, leaves an
audit trail, and lets the users deal with their own problems.  That might
be the biggest benefit of all!
