Title: There is no active sales order to delete
Post by EMI Ann on 10/22/08 at 12:36:39

Not a problem, just something I've been curious about for years. If I am in S-SO-A, entering new SO's, and hit a number that has been used before (needs an update, is not new), it tells me that the SO already exists. When I ESC out of that, I get a box that tells me "There is no active sales order to delete." I wasn't trying to delete anything, and it doesn't delete anything, so I was wondering, why this particular message?

The quick answer is that as a Dos program SOA in 2001 reached the maximum lines and variables the compiler could handle. So I had to split the program in two.. BKSOA and BKSOA2 Header and Lines.. now when the program runs it jumps from header program to line program and it has to save the data in between run files.. if you save a header without saving lines ie. enter a new so and get to the line item screen then press Exit. I needed to go back and erase the header assuming you did not want to really save that SO in the first place. The message you are getting is because the Esc is falling into that same code, and it's not really deleting anything...

Actually, that does make sense. Thanks for the info.
