Brian,

Next time you're up this way, I'll buy you dinner.

Yeah, I had a BPM on Part.Inactive. Sigh.

Thanks!

Ernie

I have about 700 part numbers I need to set as "inactive". All have no stock and no demand (at least as far as I can tell).

When I try to use the DMT to set the "Inactive" field to "TRUE", I get an error:

Context handler with "InfoPromptHandler" name is not found.

This error is generated for EACH part number.

In looking at the Part Maintenance Application Help, we find this nugget: "Also note that this check box is only available when you launch Part Maintenance from the Main Menu. If you are updating a part record from a search browser activated from a program like Quote Entry, this check box is disabled."

Would that stipulation also apply to the DMT option, and am I therefore stuck with opening 700-odd part records and manually checking the boxes?

Get the rubber room ready...

We just used DMT to mark a bunch of parts inactive, zero problems.
Version 9.05.607B.



Template had only 3 columns:

Company

PartNum

InActive

With a 1 in the InActive column.



That "InfoPromptHandler" error message is odd... do you have a BPM on
Part.Update?



Thanks,

Brian.

I have about 700 part numbers I need to set as "inactive". All have no
stock and no demand (at least as far as I can tell).

When I try to use the DMT to set the "Inactive" field to "TRUE", I get
an error:

Context handler with "InfoPromptHandler" name is not found.

This error is generated for EACH part number.

In looking at the Part Maintenance Application Help, we find this
nugget: "Also note that this check box is only available when you launch
Part Maintenance from the Main Menu. If you are updating a part record
from a search browser activated from a program like Quote Entry, this
check box is disabled."

Would that stipulation also apply to the DMT option, and am I therefore
stuck with opening 700-odd part records and manually checking the boxes?

I used DMT to set 850 parts to "inactive".

I can't help you with the specific error you are seeing but I can say it can be done with DMT, at least with the version we are using (9.05-604A).

Did you use a template generated by DMT?

I have about 700 part numbers I need to set as "inactive". All have no stock and no demand (at least as far as I can tell).

When I try to use the DMT to set the "Inactive" field to "TRUE", I get an error:

Context handler with "InfoPromptHandler" name is not found.

This error is generated for EACH part number.

In looking at the Part Maintenance Application Help, we find this nugget: "Also note that this check box is only available when you launch Part Maintenance from the Main Menu. If you are updating a part record from a search browser activated from a program like Quote Entry, this check box is disabled."

Would that stipulation also apply to the DMT option, and am I therefore stuck with opening 700-odd part records and manually checking the boxes?
