Title: Vendor part # does not save for new Item
Post by GasGiant on 12/21/09 at 12:37:57

This sort of makes sense, but then not really...

Adding a new Item via IN-B. Get to the end and click on Vendor button to add vendor part number. Won't save.

Okay, so the Item code does not exist yet because I have not saved the Item... but why doesn't it save the Item or tell me to save the Item? Why does it let me go through adding the vendor part number and clicking save and all and never tell me anything is wrong?

On the other hand, the Standard Cost program works and saves just fine.

I ran across this same problem - since the 9/16 update...see below...coorespondences - not a big deal - but I always had put in all my information as well as vendor info before that update with no problem.

"Since the last update, we are having yet another intermediate problem, this one is entering inventory. All pertinent info is entered under the new inventory number, click on vendor to add their number and hit the save key, sometimes it saves and sometimes it doesn't. Sometimes, when you go to inventory inquiry screen and enter the item number, just the number comes up - no description...

Anyone else having this issue? Is there something we can do?

Thanks

Re: Entering Vendor info under IN-A
Reply #1 - Oct 13th, 2009, 12:17pm As long as I can remember, you have always needed to first save new items before entering any vendor info, for it to stick. Not saying that's the way it is supposed to work. but just the way it is. Try saving the item and then go back into it and do your vendor stuff.

The Vendor info is saved in a separate file and validates on item number, so Colin's logic about the fact that the new item doesn't yet really exist is valid. That said, making the program smarter would be better...Another one for the improvement list.
