Default system date

Enabling change logging wont do it huh? (In either case, the record is lost if the material is deleted form job details.)
Â
Not looking at the job details job entry tab right now. Seem to recall there is an Added Material checkbox similar to the Added Operation checkbox. If your people process was to check that box when a material is manually added, and you enabled change logging agianst that field, it might prevent the flood of change log entries that would occur during normal job order wizard or Get Details actions.
Â
At the very least, you could leverage the change to the state of that field (to true - if it does indeed exist for job materials as it does for job operations) to trigger autopopulation of the system date into a JobMtl.Date## field within the same record (and then you definitely would not get flooded with change entries on normal initial job order wizard or job entry Get Details generated job material records).

Hi Group,
Â
I need some assistance. I have added a date field to the Material section of job entry and I want that the default system date is captured when a user adds a new material to the job. Can someone help me with coding this etc.?
Â
Thanks in advance.

Do you have access to EpicWeb?
I think this tech tip will cover the basic idea:

Paul,



If you have data directives, add a data directive on the JobMtl table, with
a condition of an added row, and an action to set the date to the current
date.

Thanks for your response. I have tried using the data directives and found this to be the best method.
