APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Problem details:
  =================
  When the ZEROPAD variable is activated, Maximo throws the
  "BMXAA4195E - A value is required for the Lot fields on the
  INVLOT object" error, when the user manually adds a second row
  in the Inventory Balances application.
  
  STEPS TO REPRODUCE:
  ===================
  1. Enable the ZEROPAD variable.
  2. Open Maximo and navigate to the Inventory application.
  3. Retrieve an item from the application.
  4. Add a new row in Inventory Balances.
  5. Fill in the Bin and Current Balance.
  6. Save the record - this works well.
  7. Add another row in Inventory Balances, for the same item /
  storeroom combination - the error "BMXAA4195E - A value is
  required for the Lot field on the INVLOT object." is displayed.
  
  EXPECTED BEHAVIOUR:
  ====================
  The user should be able to add new rows to the Inventory
  Balances application without getting the BMXAA4195E error.
  
  Reproduced On:
  ========================
  Maximo 7.6.1.2

  Problem details:
  =================
  When the ZEROPAD variable is activated, autokey will continue to
  prepend until a unique autokey value is found. If zeropad is
  "0000", one could end up with a key value of "0000000000001234"
  if the first two autokeys were found to be not unique. This
  could lead to additional errors, for example, "BMXAA4195E - A
  value is required for the Lot fields on the INVLOT object" when
  the user manually adds a second row in the Inventory Balances.
  STEPS TO REPRODUCE:
  ===================
  1. Enable the ZEROPAD variable.
  2. Open Maximo and navigate to the Inventory application.
  3. Retrieve an item from the application.
  4. Add a new row in Inventory Balances.
  5. Fill in the Bin and Current Balance.
  6. Save the record - this works well.
  7. Add another row in Inventory Balances, for the same item /
  storeroom combination - the error "BMXAA4195E - A value is
  required for the Lot field on the INVLOT object." is displayed.
  EXPECTED BEHAVIOUR:
  ====================
  ZEROPAD should not grow until a unique autokey is found.
