APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Reorder Item issue when an item is in a purchase contract and
  Unit of Conversion is specified for the item. (7507)
  
  
  
  Behavior replicated in 7509 with latest IFIX available at the
  time of testing:
  
  Replication Steps:
  
  1. Login to Maximo
  
  2. Go to Item Master --> Create a New Item (ItemTest)
  - Simple item, all default settings (Order Unit : EACH Issue
  Unit : EACH)
  
  3. Select Action --> Add to Storeroom
  - Central
  - STK
  
  4. Change the Item Status --> Active
  - Make sure, Roll Status change to Inventory is checked.
  
  5. Go to Inventory --> ItemTest
  
  6. Select Action --> Unit of Measure and Conversion -->
  Add/Modify Conversion
  
  7. Click on New Row
  - From UoM --> BOX
  - To UoM --> EACH
  - Conversion Factor --> 25
  
  Click ok.
  
  8. ItemTest --> Reorder Details Tab
  
  9. Enter Caterpillar as Primary Vendor (Order Unit --> BOX)
  - Order Unit : BOX
  - Last Price : 40
  - Last Order Date : 16th Feb 2016
  
  
  - Reorder Point : 1800
  - EOQ : 2400
  - Order Unit : EACH
  
  Save the record.
  
  13. Select Action --> Reorder Items --> Preview (Consider
  Contracts when creating PR's/PO's : CHECKED)
  - Reorder Quantity is shown as 96. This is correct (96 BOXes X
  25 = 2400)
  
  14. Now go to Contracts --> Purchase Contracts --> Create new
  Contract
  (1046)
  - Company - Caterpillar
  
  15. Go to Contract Lines --> Select testitem
  - Quantity 1
  - Order Unit : BOX
  - Unit Cost : 50
  
  16. Authorize Contract to Bedford and approve.
  
  17. Now go back to Inventory --> testitem --> Reorder Details
  
  18. Select Action --> Reorder Items --> Preview (Consider
  Contracts when creating PR's/PO's : CHECKED)
  - Reorder Quantity is shown as 72.04. This is incorrect as per
  client.
  
  19. Also, there seems to be another discrepancy
  - Go to Inventory record main tab --> Inventory Balances --> New
  Row --> Modify current balance to 700
  
  20.  Select Action --> Reorder Items --> Preview (Consider
  Contracts when creating PR's/PO/s : CHECKED)
  - Reorder Quantity is shown as 44.04. This is also incorrect as
  per client.
  
  It seems when an Item is included in a Purchase Contract and
  there is a conversion factor specified (See Step 6), Maximo
  calculates the reorder
  quantity incorrectly...
  
  If you uncheck the Consider Contracts when creating PR's/PO's,
  the reorder calculation is correct for all the case mentioned
  above.
