rmse_aip_item_sale.ksh does not produce any file if item/location lists are not setup.

We are integrating RMS with AIP. When we look at the results of the extract for item sale dates, they are 0-byte. We look at the query and it looks at item/location lists. How would this work if we are not maintaining lists? Another question is that it only extracts where sd.STATUS_UPDATE_DATE > ${VDATE}. If we have existing lists and we have not made changes to it, it would still produce a zero-byte file.

Does this mean that on the day we start to integrate with AIP, we would need to create a new list (or update an existing one) to force the data to flow to AIP?
