Option 10Reset Post in Progress - Material Requisitions

You can use this function to change the value of the “Post in Progress” field on the Material Requisitions Control Group record. This may be necessary in the event that a post fails to complete.

The screen shown below presents information about Material Requisitions Control Groups.

When you enter invoices, you will see only one of the two possible screens for Material Requisitions Control Groups. Which screen you see will depend on how you answered two questions on your parameters file. These are the “Ask Operator ID?” question, and the “Use Transaction Control” question.

If you answered ‘Y’ to both questions, you will see the screen below, and you will be able to enter control and hash totals for your invoices. In addition, a record will be written to the Transaction Control file for each control group posted.

If you answered ‘Y’ to “Ask Operator ID?”, and ‘N’ to “Use Transaction Control?”, you will see the second screen, which displays only the Operator ID and the Control Number.

If you answered ‘N’ to both questions, you will see the second screen, but you will not be allowed to edit the Operator ID.

When the key value for a particular record is requested, you can review all the records in the file by selecting the Scan option. The records will be presented on an “Access” screen, and you will be allowed to scan the available data until you find the record you want. Then, position the cursor by that record and press ENTER; the record will be displayed for editing.

Data items for the preceding screen are described below:
