Sage 100

How do you handling preventing FIFO negative tiers with your customers? I have a customer on 4.4 who does not like the fact that they can over ship an amount for an item in shipping data entry. I know now that their is not a way to prevent that with the security roles but the controller wants to prevent this from happening. Any suggestions?

When I was with Safety Vision we used the ASI enhancement and it worked great. The link Dawn posted is what I would go with.

Thanks Dawn and Louis...my customer is gun shy about 3rd party enhancements now...but maybe I can talk them into it...do you know how much it runs? Product & maint?

As everyone knows, negative tiers happen because of timing issues in processing. Since the controller isn't into third party enhancements, then the controller should start investigating why this is happening and implement procedures to prevent it. It is all about timing. All PO receipts are processed and updated by 10 AM, All shop floor transactions are processed by 2 PM, work orders are completed by 4 PM, SO invoices are done by 5 PM. Wa la, no more negative tiers. Failure to adher to these posting deadlines will be punishable by death or worse, a job at Sage.................. Run the negative tier report on a daily basis to determine where processing delay is occurring and deal with it. This is how I resolved a lot of the issues back in the day when I used MAS (sota) in real life................

@JeffSchwenk thanks for the pep talk. I did have that discussion with the controller already but he wants 100% and take out all human error in this equation (yeah right). We did not discuss death or relegation to a job at Sage...I should have brought that up!

Controllers can be SOOOOO anal!!!! Rigid and unbending..... When you eliminate thought and discussion from the process, you soon get a system code named ""Atlas"". Empower the people to think and be responsible for their actions...........

At this point I tell people that I know for a fact that the psychic interface is beyond their budget...
