Just a heads up for those of you that may want to purchase quantities
greater than 9,999,999.00 on a single line.
In 5.2, if you enter releases for one PO line that total 10,000,000 or more,
you will get errors indicating display problems with that many figures, but
the PO also gets messed up. Screen displays ??????? in quantity field and
PO prints incorrectly. Problem in unfixable, short of deleting PO and
starting over. If you encounter the problem while changing a PO, the
problem is still unfixable, and the only recovery is closing the PO and
recreating it (add all the releases as the original PO, and close them if
they have already been received to have the "time phase" work properly).
In 6.0 and 6.1, if you enter releases for one PO line that total 10,000,000
or more, you get errors. After you "OK" the errors, if you delete the last
release that raised the total above 10,000,000 you'll be fine. BUT, if you
try to "OK" the Line Maintenance screen before deleting the release, then
all sorts of crazy things can happen - none of them good. I've seen at
least 3 variations of messed up results. The only solution is to delete the
PO and start over.
At this point I've run into the problem by adding four 3,000,000 pc releases
to a single PO Line, and the 4th release obviously caused the problem. Phil
Berglund at Epicor has duplicated the problem is looking into it on 6.1
only.
