Okay, I tried with a back up dataset to Edit/Locations after the POA has made it active and that does not work to correct the Pick Sequence to default. The damage is done when you make it active in POA. The only option seems to be to use Inventory/Edit/Item Maintenance/Picking Sequence to correct it at that point.

I suppose our only good option is Inventory/Edit/Item Maintenance/Picking Sequence immediately after creating the PO.

We'll also have to do the same to manually correct the 150 we've done previously.

Hello Susan:

Yes, everyone has to be out of IC if you choose the "All Items" option with the Edit/Locations solution. However if you assign the Location on an item-by-item basis, then exclusive access is not required. That is practical if you are adding a limited number of items.

I can't speak for Softrak but I know with 100% certainty that they will fix the problem. It's only a matter of when!

Everyone has to be out of not just IC but also OE. I hope to see this issue resolved soon to save us all the extra work.

Okay, I further understand now that if we don't COPY the new code from an existing code in IC, but instead create the new code from scratch in IC, when it is made active in POA it will correctly use "default" as the picking sequence.

Just so people following this thread are aware, we are trying to get a fix for this problem out the door. It will probably have to wait until after the AOC though.

Hello Susan:

Have you tested that? My experience is that it happens regardless of how the item is added in IC. I believe the issue is that the matching Location record is not created in IC (that's normal). The problem is that POA doesn't add the record properly later on.

Hello Andrew:

I expect that you remember this, but just in case, this problem also exists with the P/O Import in POA.

Hi Bruce,

We know it exists in the 8.1a release when adding an item in a location. We haven't had it reported on the import. The hotfix is done and loaded on the web site but not linked yet. Some time this weekend I hope.

Susan, of you send me an e-mail I'll send you the link.

Hi Bruce,

Yes, We tested it with our live data on Friday. We created 2 new codes in IC. One using COPY from another code and the second from scratch. Then we made both codes active in POA upon placing a PO. Only the item created using COPY needed to be changed to default in IC/Edit/Item Maintenance/Picking Sequence.

Andrew, I will email you now for the link.
