Where does Time Phase OH Qty come from?

Reason I am asking is that I have a quantity showing in site [blank] which happens to be the total of the other two combined:

I did have a entry in PlantWhse for this part with a blank site but I, um, made that go away*, and this still persists.

*I don’t want to say what I did ahem but it’s the same thing that this fix from Epicor support did, which gets rid of bogus PlantWhse records:

It doesn’t really harm anything to have a bogus extra row in time phase, but it does bother me.

Hey Jason, iirc it should be the PartDtl table.

Sorry, but I don’t think so. Most of the rows are from there, but OH qty is not.

I just did a quick BAQ to confirm. Only source types (for me on this part today) are JM, PO and TO. There’s no spot for on-hand.

The top rows of time phase come from other places; sometimes there are parts pending PO inspection approval that show on separate rows as well. See pic below.

So I know it’s a union of several tables/queries. And I thought OH was a mixture of PlantWhse and maybe PartQty or PartWhse.

Have you tried running the clean up process for that part?

Well, I’ll never use “refresh partbin.” I have a long-standing opposition to that as it’s terribly inaccurate and detrimental. Also, our OH quantities are fine.

The other one, no, not recently. Worth a try. Definitely filter on that one part as you say. I tried it wide open a few weeks ago and after like 9 hours it got nowhere.

@JasonMcD I use PartWhse for my TSQL TimePhase query. It’s working well for us. I’d be happy to share my query if you want to see it.

I use PartBin to measure any inventory levels because we had an issue where PartWhse wasnt lining up with PartBin sum. Epicor support told me there is an issue (we were on 10.2.200 at the time) where PartWhse sometimes doesnt update when a transaction takes place. He is the one that told me to use those Refresh processes to fix it for the parts we come across.

@MikeGross Thank you, but I actually have a BAQ of my own that we use for TimePhase and it works well.

My problem isn’t getting the right info. My problem is, Why does Epicor use the wrong info, and where is it coming from?

And I can completely agree and see where the “Refresh… Allocations” process would work perfectly for that. I do plan to try it again.

But “Refresh PartBin” is bad because, for one example, if a part goes from qty-bearing to non-qty-bearing and back again, the process doesn’t know how to ignore that part since, for example, STK-MTL has no indication of qty-bearing at the time of the transaction. This refresh process treats them all as if they were QB, and so you get inflated OH numbers.

Hi Jason,

When you look at the tree structure in Part Maintenance, any chance when you expand the tree you have a “bad part warehouse” on there? Or perhaps a “bad part site”?

Huh. Sure does.

But riddle me this. EpiBinding is supposed to be PartPlant, yet I only have two entries in PartPlant for this part number.

Nah, I definitely had Part Warehouse record due to bad PlantWarehouse records, not in PartPlant. I suspect PlantWhse, PartBin, or PartWhse has your culprit data. Any blank warehouses in there for this part number? Only other thought would be an old bad PartTran hanging out there. While I think the PartTran causes the bad record (i.e., in PlantWhse, PartBin, or PartWhse) at the time it occurs, I doubt that the outstanding bad PartTran continues to cause bad site or bad warehouse to show in Part tree structure, once the bad record was deleted…

This just gets better.

So, I did a trace of Part Maintenance after trying to modify my phantom part-site record.

It references a SysRowID in PartPlant that does not exist! (But FYI, the SysRowID of the other two real records do match from trace to the DB.)

Now I’m in left field, but is this where a SQL View comes into play? I am so lost right now.

Basically yes, is the answer.

Since I have added UD fields to PartPlant, there is a PartPlant_UD table that also has the bogus row with a blank site.

So, scrolling way over to the right in the PartPlant View, I found the ForeignSysRowID of the PartPlant_UD record and, ahem, made it go away.

The view still has this bogus row, but Time Phase is corrected now. So I’m happy about that, but will the view ever get corrected? SSMS doesn’t seem to let me modify the view row…
