I am investigating a simple BPM that checks a vendor record to see if attributes are applied to them. After looking at the Supplier Maint screen, I see the Attribute boxes aren’t tied to a dataview. I ran a trace and found the attributes are pushed to a string in the Vendor table.
Hi Jeremy,
I want to do exactly this same thing.
I figured out the vendAttr but I can’t figure out how to add a new record to this table via the BPM without using custom code.
Are you able to give me some details around what you did?
I’m an experienced coder if it comes to that but I don’t have a lot of specific experience with the coding within Epicor.
Hello All. So the only way you can add new values to Vendor Attributes is via the custom code that Jeremy illustrated? How weird that this isn’t a readily accessible table in the Setup folder.
My customer has values in the Attributes table that they must have had entered several years ago when they first went live. At that time, those attributes meant something but nobody used them. Now they are interested in using them and I can’t see how they got in there or how to update them.
Before coming to this forum, I searched Application Help, the system menu, the Actions menu, etc. I don’t see the UI for this. What is the path to the UI?
Thank you, thank you, thank you! I knew I had seen it in a Setup before, but I could not remember where. God forbid it was actually under Sales Order / Setup, or Accounts Receivable / Setup, or Purchasing / Setup, or Accounts Payable / Setup. Also, when searching for it, I typed it as Attributes instead of Attribute. Ugh!
