I wonder if this has anything to do with this http://www.istechforum.com/YaBB.pl?num=1210689094. In their case they got a start time entered but could never enter the end time because the record seems eternally locked.
 
Is there a wide spread problem with the labor entry? Is anyone on this list currently successfully entering in labor with the current version of Evo?

Collin,  
 
I understand what you are saying.  Most of the time the crew at EVO are very responsive and helpful, but every now and then, problems seem unaddressed (no doubt at times they are buried in issues or whines from us users.  On this one, I would just like to know a way to free up this employee.  The one option I have (if it would even work) would be to delete the employee and reenter him.

Mike,
 
That worked.  Thanks much!!

I was just about to send a message on this myself.  We have approximately 65+ people entering labor and this is happens to about 6 to 10 people each day.  Most time we can use the F9 key to flush, but sometimes we have to restart the server to clear.  Unfortunately, this does not work every time and I had to go into the BKDCTLAB file and delete the employee record.  However, it is happening so much, it is becoming a butt pain. As best as I can ascertain, this is happening mostly since release 03/27/08.

We are trying to resolve this one but since it is so sporadic, while it is certainly a problem, it is not one we can programatically repeat and identify.  I suggested to Karen at Bula Forge that they try using the HH version of enter Labor/Production for a while to see if that version is better behaved, since it is a true GUI version compiled in the Evo compiler.  If anybody else can try that and report back if it is better, it would be helpful.

We just updated from 9/07 to 8/4/8 and immediately after the update began experiencing this problem.  At one point this morning, I looked at the contents of BKDCTLAB, and every user that was listed in there was getting the error "Someone is already entering transactions for this employee number" (6 users).  I got them into DC-A by using F9 to flush, but it's happening several times a day.

Thanks Lynn.  Yesterday I installed what you sent, and we made it through the whole day today with no more lockups.  Looking forward to the final patch for this, as we stopped using the barcode scanner about a year ago because of the three digit issue.
