Title: SO-A Sales Order Incrementing
Post by tgoodson on 08/29/05 at 04:37:37

I noticed this morning while entering in Sales Orders that the SO-A seems to be incrementing the SO number whether a Sales Order is saved or not. I made a mistake while entering one and exited out of it without saving it. When I entered it in again, I noticed that the Sales Order number had been incremented. It does not look like it affected the actual quantities by duplicating them, so that is good. I would have thought that a Sales Order number would not be incremented until the Sales Order is saved.

Can anyone else confirm this?

Thanks,
Tommy

The SO Number gets pulled when you move from the header to the line item screen so if you exit while still in the header, it won't pull a number but once you are in the line item screen, the number has been pulled.

But what if you make an error when entering in an item? Is there a way to fix this so the number is not incremented until it is manually Saved?

Is this not an issue for anyone else?

I think it has to be this way because the header info is in one file and the line items in another. The SO # is what ties them together. That being said, you can reuse the same SO # by manually entering it into your next sales order. You will get a prompt saying "the SO # doesn't exist. Would you like to use it for a new SO?" Say yes.

Thank you Cyndee. That is what I did. It just seemed to me that it should be updating on Save instead. I understand what you are saying and can see how it probably would have to be done that way.

Thanks for the information.
