We have a dashboard that acts as sort of a short sheet and notifies/helps the buyers on making purchases when needed. We have several UD fields that we are hoping to utilize in the dashboard and we created these on the part plant table. Now as an afterthought we are wondering how will we be able to save those attributes such as, In Process/Complete, Name of the Buyer, etc as that will update the part for the rest of the table. So in theory it will show those same attributes for each time the part is in the dashboard. Is there an easier way to do this?
Not sure what you are asking.
The fields are fields. If you write to them, they will be available.
My thought is that if the buyer puts a note on one row such as, “Vendor out of material, must backorder”. That each time the part is put on the dashboard it will hold that same comment instead of being a different thread. This is because it is in an updatable dashboard and it is saving back to the part plant table. I am wondering if there is a way around this. Maybe utilizing a number to make it a distinct record or something?
Depends what table you put he UD on. If you put it on Part table then yes, it’ll be there every time the part is referenced. If you add this comment onto the PODetail or PORel table it’ll ONLY be for that particular PO.
