Actually you can do Sales Order Comments directly. Here is the Code I
use for it:

/* this section posts the data from P80_ED_ACK into the line detail
database */
If P01_QUOTENUM<>0 AND GetContextMode() = "ORDER" Then Do:
Find First OrderDtl Where OrderDtl.Company = P01_COMPANY
and OrderDtl.OrderNum = Int(P01_QUOTENUM)
and OrderDtl.OrderLine = Int(P01_QUOTELINE)
No-Lock No-Error.
IF AVAIL OrderDtl THEN
RUN
lib\UpdateTableBuffer.p
(input BUFFER OrderDtl:HANDLE,
'OrderComment', P85_ED_ACK + '~n' + '~n' + P60_ED_CHOICES).
End.

There was some code I put on the first page to pull in the Order Number
and line:

/* Prep Data */
/* Populate Quote & Line Number */
If GetContextMode() = "QUOTE" Then Do:
P01_COMPANY = GetCurrentCompany().
P01_QUOTENUM = GetCurrentQuoteNum().
P01_QUOTELINE = GetCurrentQuoteLine().
End.

/* Populate Order Number & Line */
If GetContextMode() = "ORDER" Then Do:
P01_COMPANY = GetCurrentCompany().
P01_QUOTENUM = GetCurrentOrderNum().
P01_QUOTELINE = GetCurrentOrderLine().
End.

/* For Rules and input Tests */
If GetContextMode() = "TEST" Then Do:
P01_COMPANY = 'TMC'.
P01_QUOTENUM = 0.
P01_QUOTELINE = 0.
P01_CHR_CUSTID = "100".
End

I hope that helps.

Sometimes it's better to start with what you're trying to accomplish,
otherwise people will give you solutions that you're not looking for.

So in short, you're trying to configure a sales kit? I think you're
going to
have to choose between configurator and sales kit.

It is certainly possible to change the contents of a sales kit at order
entry time. It will cost everything for you and print the components on
the
packing list. However, it won't ask you any questions and put it
together
for you. The order entry clerk would have to know which parts to add.

If you really need the configurator, then you're in work order territory
as
far as I know - could be wrong. Even still, you're not out of luck. As
part
of the configuration rule, you could create an input field for the last
screen that builds the text for the packing list and assign it to Work
Order/Quote Comments - can't do sales order comments directly the last
time
I've checked. :-(

HTH,

Mark W.

we have a configured part set up as CFG "part". this is what it
looks like in the tree for this part.
the main operation on the CFG Part is a packing operation

mtl 10 placeholder= abc1 pull as assembly
mtl 20 placeholder= abc2 pull as assembly
there are other placeholders under this as material only

mtl:10 is a placeholder set as pull as assembly.

when the mtl 10 populates the tree it creates looks like this
mtl 300= placeholder def1 1 of 25 different parts
mtl 350= placeholder def2 1 of 5 different parts
ect.

each of these placeholders pulls in parts with different material
requirements

none of the operations are coming thru for the part chossen.

how do we get the operations and material requirements to pull thru
for the parts populating in the placeholders.

on our packing slips we need to have eah of these placeholder parts
to show up. right now when this is put into a sales order we are
getting just the CFG Part to show with the price for the configured
part. this is ok for the sales order, but we need the break down for
the packing slips.

any help you can offer would be great.

This will be a rather non technical answer but we have had a similar
issue with configured assemblies.



What we have had to do, and it's not ideal, is to design a separate
report to use as a packing list to give the breakdown of components.



This does create its own issues with regards to part shipments as we
have to edit the delivery list in word!



I think the "correct" way to handle this in Vantage would be to
configure to a sales kit but we have had numerous issued with these as
well. Ranging from component parts not transferring from quote to order,
no purchasing suggestions and more.



But at least with a sales kit the component parts are visible on the
delivery note
