We have recently (10/3/2011) upgraded from Progression 7.6 to ES 9.5.500.
Because these Reset reports take so long to run they were only done sporadically in Progression, but I think that in ES they seem to be more important and should be run more regularly. Is this in fact the case? (I'm trying to pinpoint what might be causing discrepancies in Purchasing reports, so I want to understand what allocations and Quantity-on-order are doing or should be doing that might affect Purchasing.)
If so, what is a good procedure for running them? If I try to follow Exact's recommendation and run just the report for Allocations it 'hangs' and prints nothing, unless I select a brief range of part numbers. The Exact help says to run the report, check for errors, then run the reset; but this would take forever running a few part numbers at a time. Also, I wouldn't be able to automate it because of the interaction necessary.
I'd appreciate any suggestions or solutions from people who are using this. Thanks! Julie B.
