Issue / Return Material Windows handle tabs differently

I have a custom Code 39 Barcode we use to issue material. It is programmed to handle the tabs required to navigate from Job Number, to Assembly Num, and MtlNum. I was looking at extending this to the Return Material screen but it handles tabs differently.

Issue Material maps the tab index to 1,4,7, and focuses on assembly and mtl buttons along the way.
Return Material maps the tab index to 1,4,7 and does not focuse on the assembly and mtl buttons along the way.

Can anyone else please confirm this happens to them? We are on 10.1.600.26 currently. I already took care of moving the Transaction document type and Tab Index of the panel so Issue Material and Return material are the same (they aren’t by default for some reason?).

It goes from 1 to 4 becuase 2 (JobPartNum) and 3 (Asm button) are set to Tab Stop = false.

If one is stopping on the Asm button and you dont want it to, ensure the button is set to tab stop = false.

This confirms that mine is not working as expected - both my Asm button’s are set to Tab Stop = True. Why would one be respecting it and the other not?

Do you have any customizations on those forms?

FWIW - My 10.1.400.23 has the following for the base - i.e. no customization:

Issue Material Return Material
TabIndex TabStop ControlName TabStop ControlName
1 TRUE txtToJob TRUE txtFromJob
2 FALSE txtToJobPart FALSE txtFromJobPart
3 TRUE btnToAssm TRUE btnFromAssm
4 TRUE cmbAssm TRUE cmbAssm
5 FALSE txtToAssmPart FALSE txtFromAssmPart
6 TRUE btnToMtl FALSE btnFromMtl
7 TRUE cmbMtl TRUE cmbMtl
8 FALSE txtToMtlPart FALSE txtFromMtlPart

Tab Stop 6 (cmbMtl) is the only difference.

Yes. I tried it in Base mode only and the TabStop and indexes are the same as my customization and I still get the btnFromMtl being skipped from Tab.

Thanks Calvin! That is helpful to see what someone else has. Not sure why there would be a difference?

Even so, I could deal with the difference and just change it - not sure why it doesn’t appear to be respecting the settings.

is this a bar code setting? If so, how so you access these settings in E10. We are implementing 10.2.200.8.

Is what a barcode setting? All of this is programmed into the hand scanner we are using. We use 123Scan to program the Code 39 Advanced barcodes. A custom SSRS report contains the custom barcodes.
