Patrick,
I totally agree with all the items below, plus the maximum sales
order
line quantity of 9,999,999, of course there is a work around,
we are adding multiple 9 million lines to the orders,
but we still have some orders that have ???????????'s
instead of a quantity and every time we open the order,
an error pops alerting us that Vantage cannot
support this large quantity. We created some of this
at the beginning. I know the solution, close the orders
and create new ones... but these are blanket orders.
