Hi Bruce,

This thread describes exactly what is happening to us. So glad that someone figured this out! We create new items in IC using "copy". Then we order it in POA and it forces us to "make it active" so we can continue. I did the Gridview using IC Item Locations and we have over 150 items that are not set to default. This problem is defeating the purpose of our warehouse organization. We continually update the locations on our system at the point of receiving so we can find the product later.

The workaround you describe can only be performed when no one else is on the system. Since we create new item codes so that we can order them, it is a 2 step process that accomplishes a single task (getting a new item on order). It is therefore not a reasonable solution to have a 3rd step in-between that requires everyone be taken off the system. This would be a task that would have to occur after business hours.

Can your EDIT/LOCATIONS solution be performed after POA "makes it active"? Therefore, each evening, I could add the edit/locations/All Items to the day end process? Or maybe a better solution is after we post our PO we could go into Inventory/Edit/Item Maintenance/Picking Sequence and manually change the new item to Default?

What do you suggest? Is Softrak going to correct this issue with POA??
