Although it's not documented, it appears that when you enter a job number during invoice entry, it now validates that the customer matches the job's customer. If they don't match you get a warning.

This is probably good for most users, but I have a client who would like to turn that warning off - it serves no purpose for them and is annoying.

Can this be done and if so how?

Thanks

You can't turn this warning off. Sorry.

Don't really want to add another company profile option either.

If you remove the customer number from the job in Job Cost, then you would not get the customer warning within invoice entry. That solves the issue with the warning, but this would mean they can't store customers on jobs.

Your client could choose which scenario is more desirable to them - if they assign jobs on invoices to different customers then they may not really want a specific customer on a specific job.

OK

This is an example of feature creep - where "improvements" end up causing aggravation. The new validation of entry dates against GL fiscal periods in GL batch entry is another example. It's a reason why users are reluctant to upgrade, and it saddens me when Softrak decides not to eliminate it.

Please allow these new validations to be disabled. It doesn't have to be in Company Profile, it can be a User Preference setting. Or it can be done in the Entry Templates screen.

All these changes are made as a result of customer feedback. Specifically, we had countless comments about why users were able to enter transactions to closed periods in Ledger, or invoice the wrong customer on a job. Every option requires QA of each setting and slows the release process.

If we "option" every minor change we make, then setting up a module will become a nightmare. What is wrong with Warren's suggestion to remove the customer from the job?
