Do you have Integrator? If so what I have done is build a custom "host
   job" over Purchase Orders to perform this.  But first,do you have
   Integrator?
    
   In this you can easily customize your own logic to force-close PO's based
   on your own criterial.  What we've done is use for example a %/complete of
   all line items on a PO. (so if a PO has 15 line items, 14 are received
   completed, one is recieved +/- 10%, it force closes it). We build this
   over POMAST not POITEM and just set the status/selected for close flag in
   the custom exit.
    
   We also make sure certain conditions are met. But basically we attack all
   PO's with no activity prior to a specific date for example. If you use
   PM/power link you can use some clever custom subsets to get at what you
   want to purge (for example only PO's for a specific buyer or supply
   vendors).
    
   If you don't have Integator this isn't a solution for you obviously. (but
   you could apply the same logic concept in your own custom code). It's
   not too diffiicult.

     Anyone ever figure out a way to do this?
     After 3 years of the first painful one by one force close, We are back
     to a big mess again.  Over 900 line items not invoiced according to the
     system.

     Dear All,
     I'm sorry for not responding to your replies promptly. This is coz of
     the time difference between most of you and my country. I'm from Sri
     Lanka and on average Sri Lanka is ahead of 11 hours than NY, USA.
     Steve Jones:
     Thanks for your advice. I do not know how to call a MAPICS program in
     debug mode, I have never been able to call a MAPICS program on my own by
     referring to CAS task details.
     Would appreciate if you can write to me the steps in calling IM, 3, 2
     (ie.
     2. Entry from Offline Files) program with any parameters needed and also
     how to monitor the LDA at different points while this program is
     executed.
     Your guide will not only help me for this task but also for many future
     experiments.
     I will also look at James / Peter Vidal's suggestion on OLIMTRN cmd as
     well.

     Shuhail:
     Does the batch get created if you do it from a MAPICS session?  When
     ever I have had problems when dealing with these types of programs, I
     would run the program in debug & see what the LDA looks like when called
     from MAPICS & then mimic that in my program.

     [MAPICS-L] MAPICS Offline Upload
     I have been trying to automate OFFTRN upload option in MAPICS IM Module
     (IM, 3, 2). But there is no success.
     Pasted below is the program (MSM001C) I wrote to automate it. I want to
     upload the data in file OFFTRN064 (library OFFLINES) to MAPICS
     environment 'IS' as a suspended batch. I have introduced an option to
     call my program from MAPICS, at AMIM30 menu.
     I used 
http://archive.midrange.com/mapics-l/200511/msg00018.htmlas a
     guide to write the LDA populations by mapping with AMFLIBS/JOBACT record
     just after an actual IM, 3, 2 option from MAPICS.
     I'm not getting the Suspended batch created in MAPICS.
     Will anyone be in a position to help me to reason out why it is not
     creating the batch? If necessary I can fwd the jog log I'm getting when
     I take the said option.
     Also if you have any idea about how to get the batch in CLOSE mode, pls
     let me know.
     Thank you very much in advance.
