It will quickly identify where the space is consumed. Make sure to
change the settings in windows explorer so hidden & system files are not
concealed.

I have a laptop with a 30 gig drive that is short on space. I deleted
unused programs and freed up 2 gigs. I rebooted the machine and it dropped
to 500 meg free. I deleted another folder with 500 meg in it and rebooted.
Now I am down to 200 meg free. Any idea what is going on? I did remember
to empty the recycle bin.

Sincerely,

Mitchell,
I know that this sounds flaky and generic, but I had this happen on a
machine before.
I know that in older versions of windows, some disk space would be flagged
as dirty, and the only way to reclaim the space was scandisk and defrag.

I have better luch with troubleshooting strange XP problems by running the
chkdsk command line application.

Chances are good that your virtual memory, or paging file, is consuming
the recently freed up space. Virtual memory uses hard drive space as a
"stand-in", so to speak, for physical ram. Check your task manager
process list and check the performance tab for paging file and physical
ram usage.

I have a laptop with a 30 gig drive that is short on space. I deleted
unused programs and freed up 2 gigs. I rebooted the machine and it
dropped
to 500 meg free. I deleted another folder with 500 meg in it and
rebooted.
Now I am down to 200 meg free. Any idea what is going on? I did remember
to empty the recycle bin.

Hello again Everyone.
I have submitted an enhancement to development 2134057MPS.

Maybe someone has some more info than support and the help files do.

In PO entry, the due date (as described in the help files) is the date on
which the material is required.
The promise date for the release (as described in the help) is for the day
the supplier promises to ship the release. I am not sure I believe them tho.

Below I am entering the details of the suggestion, and I welcome any
feedback anyone has on supplier performance analyis and usage details
between due date and promise date.

Thanks
Carey

DETAILS LISTED BELOW

Purpose: Accurate display of necessary business data and accurate business
analysis, Questions . suggestions about supplier performance, time phase,
and po entry.

Suggested Enhancement:

The instructions (help files) state that DUE DATE on po form should be used
to indicate the date that material is needed. I believe this is also the
expected date for time phase queries.

Instructions (help files) show that the promise date is the date the vendor
promises to ship (not sure I believe that is what it is for).

In my case, I have a vendor that promises a delivery of January 1. That is
the original due date for the release on the po.

Letï¿½s say that on December 31, the supplier calls me and tells me that they
will not deliver until Feb 1.

Am I correct in that the process is to go back to the PO, and un-check the
APPROVED flag and then I would have to go to the lines tab and change the
due dateï¿½Therefore, under releases, I would see the new due date and the old
promised date?

The problem is that TIME PHASE needs to have the latest information on when
a line is actually expected to come in, so that if a customer wants to know
when we expect a back order to be fillable, there is a place for order entry
personnel to look. This is why I believe that the current process calls for
updating the DUE DATE field with the updated realistic date value.

However, support has told me that the supplier performance analysis cube
looks at (received date ï¿½ due date) to determine if a shipment is late or on
time. So, in this case, if I move the due date forward a month to reflect
when we can actually expect to receive it from the supplier (which sales
needs all the time), the supplier performance analysis will not accurately
reflect that the po had to be pushed back x days from the original approval.
Since time phase is tied to the due date, I wonder if supplier performance
(if not already) should be queued to subtract promised date from received
date instead of (received date - due date)ï¿½.and if this is the case, that
promised date should be automatically filled in the same as the due date for
each line created on a po.

It will quickly identify where the space is consumed. Make sure to
change the settings in windows explorer so hidden & system files are not
