Cycle Counting - allowed characters?

What characters are allowed in the systemabc field (the field used for the Cycle Count Code)?

Thanks,

It’s an nvarchar field with a length of 1 and the application only allows alpha. A through Z. And no, you can’t use lowercase and uppercase to get around that, the app converts it all to lower and checks for dupes.

I was sure I had read that A – Z were allowed. I set up a test to DMT in and used all 26 letters and some other characters/punctuation marks. Most every test failed.

I have found that only the following letters are allowed: A, B, C, M, W, Z. There are several characters/punctuation marks allowed as well. Those are: double-quote “, dollar sign $, ampersand &, question mark ?, less-than symbol <.

I am using E10, (10.1.400.20)

I was able to add ‘D’, ‘E’, ‘F’ in ABC Maintenance in version 10.0.700.4. To be clear, you’ll have to define them before adding them to parts/plants. It is only a single alphabetic character. I would not recommend the punctuation, especially the not-web safe characters like “, $, &, and <. From the Help:

ABC Code
Specifies the identification code for the ABC classification. This must be a 1-character code, corresponding to a letter in the alphabet. Up to 26 codes can be assigned. You cannot enter a number in this field. For example:

  • A
  • G
  • Z
    For more information, see ABC Classification and Cycle Count in the Concepts & Terms topic of the Inventory Management module help.

Ah Ha!

I didn’t define the codes. I keep forgetting about having to define everything.

Thanks for the help.
