Rollover, Monthly, Missed/Forcing

 

[Revised Aug 02]

 

The start-of-month automatic rollover can be missed if there is a problem with the date, usually caused by someone rolling the date forward or backward manually (not a good idea).

- Or, if the monthly forecasting is interrupted (also not a good idea).

- Or if the database is 'restored' from a backup taken at the end of last month.

 

Lack of a 'rollover' will result in incorrect orders and usage figures as the current month continues to accumulate on last month.

 

To force a monthly rollover of stock and history

1. Check that the rollover really has been missed by looking at 'Month-to-date' usage on the stock card of a commonly used item.

2. If so; Go to Windows Start button on task bar.

3. Goto Run

4. Type in c:\phcypro\forecast /force

This will run the Monthly forecasting.
