How To Make Part Number Read Only on Order Entry screens

Kinetic ERP
1

Hello Everyone,

I need some assistance to make the part number field on Order Entry read only from the Parts available in Kinetic and only those parts can be entered. I don’t want users to be able to create parts in our system.

If someone can tell me how to set this up. I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks in advance.

I would think you could check this in a Preprocessing BPM, which checks to see if the Partnum has changed, and if so, check to see if it’s in the Part table. If it’s not there, issue an error that says it must be there.

You will need to check things if you make Orders from Quotes as well. We had to put in a few BPMs to keep ‘parts on the fly’ from being accepted in Order Entry (we did want to allow it in Quotes, just not Orders) There’s 2 different methods for creating Orders from Quotes, you need code in both. (we had a lot of UD fields we wanted to copy from Quotes to Orders, so we just piggy backed the check for valid parts in those)
