customer comes first...if you firm uses EDI interface with the customer,  and 
the customer has your MAPICS SA number listed in his EDI PO receipt file,  
interfacing with the customers whole receipt, stock payables,...and all is bar  
coded,....shipping 242 of 250 leaves the customer with an MRP open issue,  
etc....
 
ask not what MAPICS can do for you, but ask what you can do for the  customer 
if you use MAPICS...

You all are having waaay too much enjoyment about the  flogging! ;-)
1. I believe this is one of those "We've always done it  this way" 
situations. This is the first time this specific issue has popped up  in the little over 
a year that I have been here.  I will address the  maintenance process.
2. I have worked with 3 major systems over the  years and they all had some 
kind of allocation scrubber..."just because"...go  figure...
Thanks to all and don't hold your breathe about  YouTube!

Subject: Re: [MAPICS-L] MRP Puzzler...
A  couple of questions:
1. Why did you change the quantity from 250 to 242  instead of just canceling 
the order/line item.  If this line item is  complete it should not be in the 
mbcdrep file.  Unless the order has  other line items open, which is probably 
the case.  When you change the  quantity to match was has been shipped the 
status changes on the release and  line item, but the order/line item doesn't 
remove from the open files.   Can you delete a line item on an order after it has 
had partial shipment when  there are still other open line items on the order?
2. Why do we have  to run the 'audit allocation' and 'audit location' and 
'audit on order' at  all?  Shouldn't XA do this automatically when needed?  Every 
once in  a while we have a problem that shows up and this fixes it.  It is 
very  frustating to have to tell users do this and it will fix the problem 
without  knowing the why.
3. I can't make it to the flogging, can you record it  and put it on YouTube?

My apologies to this august list.
It was NOT a  blanket line, just a regular CO line item. Quantity was 
originally 250, we  shipped 242, reduced the order qty to 242 and cancelled the B/O. 
We were  getting a planned order for the 8 on "backorder."
Last night I ran the  'audit allocation' and 'audit location' and 'audit on 
order' and then re-ran  MRP and it seems to be calculating planned orders 
correctly now, but I still  show 8 on back order in the CO line view in field 
"Backorder quantity"  cdz902.
Thoughts?
Thanks and sorry for the misleading  information; I will have my planner 
publicly flog me at high noon  today.
Cheers!
