Title: WO-K-B now unusable: no description

We use WO-K-B to customize BOMs. The new version doesn't show the component description, so we don't know which parts to delete or edit...completely useless (grrrr). As a workaround, can we use the old WO-K-B? How is the new version an improvement...is it helping somebody?

More on above...

We change the BOM upon entry and always backflush, so material issues don't come into play for us.

Ideal would be same interface as BM-A...that would be a real enhancement...WO-K-B has always been clumsy.

You can put the old one back for now if it works for you. I agree, including the component description on the list would be good - will get it done.

That could help.

Another weirdness in the new version: when you delete a component, the screen doesn't clear, so you're not sure if you've done anything. Overall, seems clumsy (not that the old version was any prize either).

The older version of WO-K-B (12-04) and previous versions we have used have never cleared the screen.

When you delete a BOM line item from the old version, the next line is displayed. In the new version, nothing happens...the deleted item is still displayed.

I just fixed that, and I added the component description to the list.

Ask Lynn for and updated copy...
