Busy time over last 8 weeks

Fri, 01/11/2013 - 12:02 -- Alson

It has been a busy time working at a client site, since the week before Thanksgiving. 

Portland Maine and comuting there, have made for winter flying experiences, but working with good, over-stretched personnel.

The plan for the next weeks would be to add blog entries relating to EDI.  This will include Basic Setup, and specific transactions.  Purchase Order (850), PO Acknowledgement (855), Advanced Ship (856), Invoices (810) and Pricing Updates (832).

 

Thanks for visiting.  Come back for a visit to check out the new information.

Data Verification Toolkit (DVT) Summary

Mon, 11/05/2012 - 14:51 -- Alson

DVT provides a mechanism for data base cleanup by removing orphan records, and by verifying and insuring that data integrity exists between headers and lines and demand records.

For running the report programs, I recommend creating a multiple step job containing all the relevant report jobs; if client is not using work order, there is no need to run the related jobs.

There is overlap of database locks, which prevents running the programs in parallel.
