Running the WH and IC integrity check

After you complete Phases One and Two (running in Update mode), you are ready to start Phase Three. By completing this phase, you ensure that the Warehouse and Inventory Control application database files are in sync with the open documents.

When you run WH-IC Integrity Check - Report and Update (WH432), the program uses the Warehouse demand file to synchronize with transactional count fields on the Item Location file. All demand records for a specific item location are accumulated and used to update these quantities on the Item Location file:

  • Allocated

  • In-process

  • Backordered

  • On-order

  • Work-in-Process

  • Intransit

  • Unallocated

Follow these steps to run the WH and IC integrity check:

  1. Run the WH and IC integrity check by completing step 1a or 1b:
    1. Use the report programs only and the Warehouse application, run WH-IC Integrity Check - Report Only (WH422).
    2. Use the update programs and the Warehouse application, run WH-IC Integrity Check - Report and Update (WH432). In the Update field, select No Update (Just Report).
  2. Review the report to determine the correct way to make repairs. You can make repairs manually or rerun the program in Update mode (if you have the update programs).

    If you made repairs manually, then run WH-IC Integrity Check - Report and Update (WH432) in Report mode again to ensure that the errors are corrected. Then, run the program in Update mode.

  3. After repairs are made, repeat step 1 to ensure that no errors exist before going on to the next phase.
