Hi June,

DataCare does not use program-specific integrity check settings, such as the IR setting that ignores completed POs. This is why the deleted items are appearing as integrity errors. To prevent these errors from occurring, you will have to add the items back into IC.

Here's an alternate suggestion for dealing with obsolete items. Until those items have gone through the system (such as completed Purchase or Sales orders) and been purged, you might want to simply edit the Item Description to something like 'DO NOT USE' or 'OBSOLETE'. This way, other applications or integrity checks that look for the existance of an item code will not complain when it can't find one.

Further to this, could you post here what error messages are being reported by DC in your IR data? Are they based on missing items, or perhaps a different message?

Also, please let us know which other integrity settings you have set in IR (such as Assisted integrity check) and DataCare configuration (such as flat / keyed file checks).
