I haven't had a chance to do more transactions than the ones that did not work so don't know if this is repeatable.
Tried to back out of a WO issue in WO-G of a lot controlled part by displaying transactions, picking the one I wanted to back out of, and saying yes to the back out question.  Then the program seemed to hang, but an exit took me out of the program.  Now, I have negative issues in the lot history, nothing in the GL, and the transactions I was trying to back out of are still showing in inventory transactions and in the work order.  And the total quantity for the lot does not reflect the backout either.
Is this back out function broken for lot numbered parts?
 
I took another look at the inventory transactions and I was wrong.  Normally when You back out of a transaction, the transaction just goes away and there is no record except in the lot history.  At least that's the way I remember it.  This time I can see the issues, and the back outs, but the total for the lot is not correct. Also, the work order issues are not backed out of in the work order record.

Thanks Colin.  Any suggestions on how to fix?  It looks like the transactions are recorded in INVTXN and wherever the lot history comes from, but not in the GL or WOIssue records.

Yuk!!
Please fix this...

WOG has been fixed. I believe it is in the latest update.

It's not a menu change, it's a program update/bug fix, so it wouldn't be there. However, it should be in http://www.istechsupport.com/status.php and I don't see it there either.
 
We don't use lot control, but have noticed two changes with backing out material in WO-G. In order to actually make it happen you have to enter past the date. This is presumably because of the second change as noted above - it doesn't actually back it out, it creates a reverse transaction with the date you just entered past. Since it sometimes takes a V E R Y   L O O O O N G  time to do so, we too have decided that we'll just enter negative transactions.

We originally used negative issues because the materials manager at the time did not like not having traceability after backing out (the transaction just disappeared except in the GL)  But we had problems with negatives also.  So when she left , we went back to backing out in WO-G- (the new manager did not mind the transactions disappearing and I got clear direction in another post that backout was the way Evo was supposed to work).  For the most part we have been backing out of issues for the past year with no problems.
I just updated to the latest Dec 15 update last weekend.  This week we did a back out of a lot controlled item and it was all wrong- I had never seen this particular version of wrong either.  But maybe we just exited too soon-  it WAS taking a long time and seemed to be hung -minutes of flickering.  The addition of the original transaction with the reversing transaction might explain why we saw this;  I did not know this had been changed so when I saw the issue and reversal were listed  in the record for the item I thought this was part of the problem- I did not know it had changed.
In any case, I would love to have some clear direction on which process to use-- only negatives on lot and serial controlled items, backout for the rest- both- neither?  Can the mega-delay be fixed so that we don't have to wonder if it is hung or is just thinking (I don't like it when you can see the computer thinking!)?
 
I would say that WO-G definitely still has some pests...

Since "backout" actually does a negative transaction but just takes a long time, my clear direction is to do negative transaction unless/until "Reverse" changes.
