Title: PO approved vendor not working
Post by cathyh on 06/15/09 at 09:31:10

I am testing the new (May) update on my stand-alone. I am not able to enter a PO because I keep getting the "this vendor is not approved for this item please select another item" message. I had the approved vendor default setting in PO defaults set to ask, but allow, and changed it to do not ask but even that did not fix it.
BTW I saved the PO that only had a second description line and the PO number advanced to next available. At least I am not getting PO's numbered "0".

Cathy,

I can't duplicate that... if you run BKMDG.RUN (old PO defaults program) where is the X for that setting, the first second or third?

I have test all three and it works here... :-/

The X is in "Do not check for approved vendors".

I looked at the part number I was using and in the field for approved vendors I have a 2 which is do not allow any but approved vendors. But I have a vendor in the part number.
The 2 is in every part I checked that I tried to use, but they all have vendors also. The 2 is obviously why I am getting that message, but why is the vendor that I have associated with the part not accepted as approved?

Cathy - you have a vendor as the primary vendor shown on the IN-A screen - but I will bet you don't have any vendors listed if you hit the Vendors button. That vendors data is in a separate data file. If you enter the primary vendor in the Vendors screen, it will probably work correctly. We have seen that and we have to enter a vendor entry on the vendors screen.

In IN-A, under sources, the vendor is listed. If I click the Vendor Item #, I get the screen with the vendor code, name and item#.
In IN-B on the main screen the vendor in question is listed, and if I click on the vendors button, the vendor is in that screen also, along with one other vendor which we use rarely.
What data file are these supposed to be in-- maybe I could check in maintain database.....

Cathy,

I looked into the code and changed something that may have been causing what you were seeing. I sent it to Lynn. Ask her for a copy to see if that fixes it.

BKSBVEND is the table it is looking at.

I will try that-- I looked at the file BKSBVEND and my vendors are there for the part number.

PS-- Lynn, could you send that to me? Thanks!

The latest patch (patch4) fixed this problem. However I noticed that it broke the location pop-up in the ship to. Before the patch, unlike others who were not seeing the location choice pop-up, I was seeing it. Now I don't.

I just looked at my locations, and the repair location that I had before the update is gone. This is probably why I did not get the pop-up since I now have only one location. But what happened to my repair location? I will look further into my S/R setup.
