2281144 - Production Task Data Source missing data

Symptom

  1. Go to Production Control Work Center
  2. Go to Task Control View
  3. Select All Production Tasks by Selection

    It shows XXX tasks.

Steps to check the tasks number in the Task Control list:

  1. Go to Business Analytics
  2. Go to Design Data sources
  3. Open Production Task data source

The counter shows a smaller number of records in comparison with the number of tasks shown in the Task Control list.

Cause

The Task Control list shows the total count of tasks in the system, whereas the data source shows the aggregated values of materials in the task.

For example: if there are 4 input material for one task there are 4 count in data source and one in task control.

You may also note if in your system, you have tasks which are intermediary tasks and does not have input materials.  This also can be a cause for having a lesser number of records (counter).

Resolution
