Title: PURCHASE ORDERS
Post by dstary on 02/28/07 at 11:02:50

IS ANYONE ELSE HAVING TROUBLE WITH PURCHASED PARTS AND ASSIGNED VENDORS.

PO'S NOT ALLOWING ENTERING OF ITEM EVEN THOUGH IT CLEARLY SHOWS VENDOR IS ASSIGNED IN THE ITEM NUMBER.

HOWEVER, IT SEEMS WE HAVE TO GO TO PO-L AND ASSIGN VENDORS THERE ADDITIONALLY, BECAUSE EVEN THOUGH THEY ARE ASSIGNED IN ITEM ENTRY, THEY ARE NOT IN PO-L.

ALSO, HAS THERE BEEN AN ANSWER TO MY PREVIOUS EMAIL REGARDING FATAL ERRORS UPON PRINTING PURCHASE ORDERS

I had Fatal Errors in PO printing. Not sure if it is the same as your fatal error. Changed back to T6POA.RUN. It was 2/14/07 Update problems under "repeatable".

Assigned Vendors is still a problem. We have to re-assign all vendors to items, as the update does not recognize already assigned vendors.

When is the fix coming?

Our assigned vendors are in the system and showing up under PO-L. I thought we could previously view them under IN-A and assign them under IN-B, that seems to have disappeared.

Karen,

Looks to me like it is still there in IN-A and IN-B.

You are correct, it shows up in IN-A and IN-B, now go to PO-L. If its not in here, you must re-enter it to add the item to a PO.

Need a fix

Hmm.....I checked in our data and unfortunately (for testing purposes) all of the items I checked had an entry under PO-L. Our buyer stated that almost always, if something was entered in IN-B for a vendor, it propagates to PO-L. I wonder if it is a database problem?? I also wonder if PO-L works like PO-H, which will override anything entered in IN-B.

Tried an experiment - took an item just recently entered, with vendor data, and deleted the vendor in PO-L. It didn't complain, and oddly enough the vendor still shows up in IN-A?! Maybe a disconnect somewhere in your data??? (just speculating - back to real work....)

Don't know, but its so frustrating. I changed the defaults to read Warn but allow. Still does not allow.
The old default was that vendors must be assigned.

We entered that when we entered an item number. Now we have to reassign all vendors.

Anyone??

There are 2 sets of data. The "Primary" vendor which is entered in IN-B, is stored in the inventory master file and automatically also saved to the other file, BKSBVEND. The BKSBVEND file stores the many different vendors and vendor part numbers as entered in PO-L or BM-K. Deleting an entry from PO-L or BM-K will NOT remove that vendor as Primary Vendor if they have been so designated.

What has been happening (and reported on a couple of other threads) with increasing frequency is that some or all of the data is being deleted from BKSBVEND. Unfortunately, we can not determine when, or how. There have been fingers pointing at the update process but the update does not even open the BKSBVEND file. And others have had it lose data out of the blue with no update involved. Some Evo users and some Classic users and no discernable pattern.

So what you need to do is keep a backup copy of BKSBVEND handy because you can restore that file by itself without affecting any other transactions or other detail. Debbie, you can restore an older copy rather than re-enter all the information. And everybody, pay attention. If we can figure out what is making it blow up, we can fix it.

Lynn,
I thought this problem was fixed in September 06. We used to have this problem frequently and since the update, we didnt have it so far.
Here is a copy of the thread:

Vendor Part Dissapperaring....

We (being Mike) just found the bug with the dissappearing SBVEND records. It has been fixed and will be in our next release. (This bug dates back to 2000).

Yes, there was a problem that was fixed but this is something new. It seems to be update related but we can't figure out how or why.

I was just informed that we are having this problem too. It seemed to start around 03/09/07 which is strange because I installed the 02/14/07 update on 03/03/07. (Unfortunately, I don't know what dates I installed the patches.)

Anyway, I followed this thread and the "Vendor Items gone" thread which both indicated to copy the back up files (BKSBVEND & BKSBMFG). The vendor part numbers are now showing in IN-A (etc) HOWEVER, they are not printing on the PO as before.

Any other suggestions?

I have had to delete the PRIMARY VENDOR entry in IN-B for this reason. The part #'s are in SBVEND but do not print on the PO. This doesn't always happen, but I found that deleting that entry worked..... I found this prob at the end of last year :-/

I have installed all the fixes, and we still can't enter Purchase orders. With the new T7POA.RWN, can't event enter PO's, vendor info doesn't pull through at all nor does it issue a new PO#.

When will there be a fix?

Title: Re: PURCHASE ORDERS
Post by NovaZyg on 04/16/07 at 14:17:53

T7POA was never meant to go out.. Delete it.

The menu should not call it, forget it ever existed...

It has old code in it and may cause conflicts with the newer stuff.

I will be getting back to POA and SOA but that may be in a month or two.
