See additional thread under System Manager Topic. It is not anything you are doing wrong and the program is not really making errors, at least not mathematical ones.
I think it is a result of different databases and programs being merged to create the DBA program. Inventory records are not updated automatically when transactions are made.
For example both the BKICMSTR file and the BKICLOC file contain a field for UOH. Only one of these files is updated when you do something like issue a PO. The files are reconciled when you (a) Run SM-J-C, (b) Do a screen inquiry in IN-A or (c) Run a report such as IN-D that prompts you to rebuild stock status.
It really doesn't affect your business unless you pull the raw data into reports like Crystal, Access or Excel.
It may affect MRP, I don't know. Maybe someone else does.
