Can anyone tell me now to convert a Context Menu that uses Zone BAQ from Classic to Kinetic? I did not create the classic Context Menu so am not familiar with how these were done in classic. I did find a couple of user group posts on Context Menus but not specific to using a BAQ.
Should have mentioned: In Classic the Zone BAQ opens by right-clicking in the Part field on either Part Tracker or Part Entry and using “open with” then selecting the custom Context Menu.

This would be a great question for @timshuwy as it doesn’t look like the custom context menus work in Kinetic.
In the meantime you can setup your BAQZone (if you only have one) on the field via Extended Properties, then in the Kinetic UI, it’s the ‘More Info’ Context Menu Item.
But if you need more than one BAQ Zone on a field, I don’t see how this is possible in Kinetic yet.
Have you used the “More Info” in Kinetic? I tried to set up one BAQ Zone we had just to see what it did and it did not work unless I am doing something wrong. I had to add a parameter to my BAQ and enter the PartNum and then it did not return the data columns that the BAQ returns. I then tested my BAQ Zone (without the parameter) in Classic and it returns the data columns and data as expected from the BAQ.
Yes, and it seems to work for me.
No Parameters, BAQ Zone field needs to be in the Display Columns.
Update: I have opened case CS0003825398 with Epicor Support for Context Menu Zone BAQs not working in Kinetic.
I also opened a 2nd case CS0003828358 for Extended Properties Zone BAQs not working in Kinetic as while I was on a WebEx with Epicor Support I showed them the Extended Properties issue I was having with Zone BAQ and they asked that I open a separate case.
I believe @Rich gave a session on zone BAQs at an insights some time ago in Kinetic 10 classic forms… he might have some documentation or an idea on how to move it to kinetic or if it’s even possible.
Sorry to Bump and old thread however i have an issue with the More Info ‘Zone BAQ’ solution in that my BAQ is set on the part table and pulls in any Manufacturers Details from the PartXRefMFG table and Customer Part Details from the CustXPrt table. It works fine if there are Manufacturers details for the part but if there are not it pulls though a list of all parts that have details in the BAQ. I would have expected a ‘no information available’ type message.
Sounds like your BAQ may have an outer join or some other BAQ design.
Would need to see more of your BAQ design.
select
[Customer].[CustID] as [Customer_CustID],
[CustXPrt].[XPartNum] as [CustXPrt_XPartNum],
[Manufacturer].[Name] as [Manufacturer_Name],
[PartXRefMfg].[MfgPartNum] as [PartXRefMfg_MfgPartNum],
[Part].[PartNum] as [Part_PartNum]
from Erp.Part as [Part]
inner join Erp.PartXRefMfg as [PartXRefMfg] on
Part.Company = PartXRefMfg.Company
and Part.PartNum = PartXRefMfg.PartNum
inner join Erp.Manufacturer as [Manufacturer] on
PartXRefMfg.Company = Manufacturer.Company
and PartXRefMfg.MfgNum = Manufacturer.MfgNum
inner join Erp.CustXPrt as [CustXPrt] on
Part.Company = CustXPrt.Company
and Part.PartNum = CustXPrt.PartNum
inner join Erp.Customer as [Customer] on
CustXPrt.Company = Customer.Company
and CustXPrt.CustNum = Customer.CustNum
order by CustXPrt.XPartNum
On your BAQ Zone Field setup do you have ‘Honor Nulls’ enabled?
Honor Nulls? Where do i find that?
How did you setup your BAQ Zone? Extended Properties? Classic UI or Kinetic UI Customization?
A screenshot of where you have this setup and your BAQ might help, I’m not sure I understand how you have your BAQ setup. This might be an odd bug, so if I can replicate your setup I might be able to see if it’s setup wrong or something else.

Sorry, I had the field wrong, I was thinking of the ‘Zone Search On Empty’… but I think I’m barking up the wrong tree.
I tried to replicate your BAQ and zone and I cannot get it to provide results if there is no MFG Part.
So try disabling ‘Zone Search on Empty’
