Job Memo Date ( Engineered Date or Release Date)

Hello ,

our job planner is trying to find out the memo/effective date on all job entries. I am trying to build a query to give this information and a few items from JobHead but the area we are looking for for a memo date has no db field , thoughts?

( My method and menus to accomplish this below )

Inside of Job Entry ( Yellow highlight , memo) :

Job Planner is asking for this date ( Yellow highlight , date):

This Date above has no DB Field :

Current BAQ I have JobHead but it does not link to Memo giving me errors:

Error I am getting , what other way can I get this information ?

Hello Philip,
Hope you’re doing well.

This is a great post, thanks for outlining all of the information, makes it easy to spot what’s going wrong. One critique, we do need to see more than the fact you’re joining the JobHead to Memo next time. We need to know what fields you’re joining, as that is what’s actually causing your error.

First step to doing anything with a BAQ is understanding your data, and how you can use logical connections to join tables. My first thought when I saw your post, was to go into my DB tool, and look at the schema. (Note, you can do this several ways, I just chose a SQL tool since we are on prem)

Here, you can see all of the fields you’ll need to get started. First, note the “RelatedToFile”, we will need this to filter only for the JobHead memos. (Note this is the Ice.Memo table, so many system objects use this)

Next, we can see the “Key1” field is the ID of the record.

Then we see “MemoDate” is the field data we want.

Therefore, I can “Join” my tables ON the JobHead.JobNum = Memo.Key1.
WHERE Memo.RelatedToFile = “JobHead”.

Here is what this looks like in Epicor’s BAQ program:





Final note, you will still see a warning stating:


But this isn’t a concern. Feel free to ignore it, you only see that because there isn’t a direct relationship set up in a traditional way, as you would see when you join the JobHead to the JobDtl.

Let me know if you have any questions, have a good weekend~
