RE: Default Branch Plant - P4311---actually we\'re talking about the F4211 now
Greg,
This is interesting. You are correct. I was surprised. I set up my item
in Branch 510 and made that the inventory commit preference branch. Then I
entered an order with a different branch in the header and got an error. I
would have expected that the system would evaluate the preference, load the
branch/plant into the order detail and everything would work. I don't know
if this works as designed or not, but it might be worth reporting to the
response line. It worked fine when I used a branch that actually stocked
the product in the header--it found the correct branch for the detail.
So, let's try another idea. You don't care what the header branch plant is,
correct? So couldn't that be a dummy branch/plant, called XYZ Branch?
Stock every item in the XYZ branch, that way you won't get the error that
you mentioned with the header branch not stocking the item.
Then we can use the Inventory Commit preference to drop in the correct
branch, setup at the item level, into the detail lines of the order.
The header branch might affect your accounting, so I would check that out
also. Check the processing options in Sales Update that control which
branch/plant is used in the AAIs.
This is fun isn't it? We both like solving problems creatively!
