Re: CST500 / CST600

In version 405cd we get audit trails from the runs of these programs which
show which items they looked at, the old cost, the new cost, the difference
(if any). If you too get such audit trails, you might want to spot check
them, to see if the runs are even getting at the items you want them to get
at.

Inclusion of items, for us, depends on selection criteria parameters
(facility/cost set etc. ranges) and items found in the rollup. We have
orphan items which are not found in the product structure, and thus never
impacted by the rollup.

Subject: [BPCS-L] CST500 / CST600

Dear All,



we are running on BPCS 6.11 and want to run the price calculations in batch.



Therefore we have created some CL and RPG programs to handle the call of
CST500B and CST600B for costset/bucket/item from a file we fill and in the
file are date and time of the execution. This is a kind of scheduler for
running this during the night.



We figured out the parameters to call those two programs but in the end
there is no calculation made. The program runs for a while (approx. 10-30
minutes) but the prices remain as they have been before.



My question: Is there anyone who has experience in calling CST500B and
CST600B in a self-made batch procedure? Are there any other programs I have
to call in addition? Can anyone help me verifying the used parameter
structure?



Thanks to everyone for any help. We tried so many things now...



Best Regards to all of you

Thomas
