I am surprised that the user community has not generated enhancement interest on this issue which has plagued batch version users for years. I suppose we all figured that this is something that could never been done; that is, pasting in values into Literal List of Values in Data Selection from an outside source. However, in recent years we are beginning to see new Tools Releases introduce new functionalities that we also never thought possible. Who ever thought we would be able to click on a field in an interactive version application screen and access a Google map? This wish came true with the Related Information Application Framework introduced in Tools Release 8.98.4.
I am a member of the EnterpriseOne Manufacturing and Distribution Group, E1MDUG and part of our mission is to elicit, promote, prioritize, and manage enhancement requests from our user community membership in direct liaison with Oracle Product Managers. This year we already have seven Enhancement Request Teams working on such enhancement requests as Changing Primary Location, Prohibiting WO Generation on Stocking Type = “O” Items, P4310 Viewing/Editing of Original Promised Delivery Date, Item Master/ItemBranch Mass Update (already introduced but further enhancements desired), PO Advance Preferences, Copy Cost with Currency Conversion, and Outbound Consignment.
I will generate some dialogue on this issue and see where it goes. What might have been impossible in years past might be feasible now. All it takes in hearing from users like you and me.
