I have been attempting to utilize the PI process within Adagio IC (8.0B) and found that each time I print a hard copy list of the inventory item count, the printed version and the edit version are different. With the printed version I get 14 pages and when I attempt to edit, I see only 10 items.

and before anyone suggests that I check the "create PI adjustment workfile" - I have done so.

Has this happened before to anyone? Is this a common problem to previous versions?

Is there something I'm not doing? (scratching head here)

Hi Peter,

Which options do you have selected for the Physical Inventory worksheet report? Specifically the 'Select' field from which you can select 'All items from inv. list', 'Items from loc. only', and 'Items active at loc.'. Also, do you have the 'Suppress inactive items' checkbox selected, and are you choosing a specific Account set or All account sets?

We are aware that choosing 'All Items from inv. list' might generate more items for reconciliation than what appears on the report, but we are not aware of the reverse case of getting less than expected. And that's the only known scenario.

Also, are you using Accpac Plus IC for doing either the generation of the report or editing the quantities? If so then this would be the problem because the programs write to different workfiles. Generating the report with one program does not write to the file that is editable by the other.

"Which options do you have selected for the Physical Inventory worksheet report?"

All items
All Accounts
Specific locations
Suppress Inactive Items
A specific range of item numbers
Include Qty on Hand
Create PI Adjustment workfile

That's the setup for the majority of our locations. Some of the item ranges may be somewhat smaller depending on the location but on average there should be upwards of 200 items.

As I said, the editing portion of the process only shows 8 - 10 items as opposed to the 200 or so items. I was under the impression that creating the worfile would over write any predecessor file - is this correct? If so, why then would this problem persist.

Your help is greatly appreciated.

Peter
