These are the steps to repair the data for users with incorrect Direct Costs from Bills. The total amount of all Ledger entries for Direct Cost from Bills should always equal zero.

This repair will only make adjustment to Direct Costs entries attributed to orders and bills. If there are any manual entries, the direct costs amount still be incorrect. The user will have to make adjusting entries in this case.

• Breakdown.sql - A helpful query for view the current state of the repair. It will be explained more below.
• Repair.sql - A query will find broken links between Orders and P.O.s/Bills/R.D.s and repair the link whenever possible or remove the link if not.
• Prep For Refresh GL1.sql - A query to flag all bills that will need the “Refresh GL” to run execute on.
• Prep For Refresh GL2.sql - A query to flag all orders that will need the “Refresh GL” to run execute on.
• Manual Direct Cost Entries.sql - A query to view any manual journal entries that contain Direct Costs from Bills. This is helpful when the user has entered adjustments that makes the Direct Costs amount total something other than zero. You can give the user the results of this query so they can make new adjustments.

Here are the steps that need to be executed to repair the Direct Costs amounts.

You can use the Breakdown.sql query to monitor the progress.

Rows returns by Breakdown.sql

• GL Amount with Transaction: The current sum of all direct costs in the Ledger associated with an order or bill. When all is well, this number will always be zero.
• GL Amount without Transaction: The current sum of all direct costs in the Ledger not associated with an order or bill. This should never be anything but zero. If it is not zero, then, most likely, the user has manually entered ledger entries for Direct Costs.
• TransHeader Count: The count of orders and bills flagged to have the Refresh GL run.
• Detail OOB Count: The count of Bill Details that have a cost that does not match the Total Part Usage cost of it's TransPart.
• GL OOB Count: The count of TransParts that have a Direct Cost Balance that is not zero.

Please note: If you are monitoring the breakdown as the repairs are running, it is not unusual for the discrepancy to get larger as repairs are made.

1. Execute Breakdown.sql, verify that “GL Amount with Transaction” is zero, if not, repeat all of these steps starting at step 1. It has been necessary to do these steps twice, but never more than that. If “GL Amount with Transaction” is still not zero after 2 times, notify someone in Development about the situation.

When the repair is complete, all of the rows of Breakdown.sql will show zero.

If the “GL Amount without Transaction” value is not zero, execute Manual Direct Cost Entries.sql and give the user the results and explain to them that they will need to make some adjustments to reverse their past adjustments.
