Trying to set lead times for parts with a BPM. It sets it but on refresh of the part page it doesn’t seem to hold the value. It just reverts back to the inital value. When I set it manually, it holds the value. Am I missing something? Got tired of it not working so it’s really simple. I only have the field setter in the BPM at the moment. ![image](https://www.epiusers.help/uploads/default/original/3X/2/f/2f4a9c0f92d2f287e589816fe169691f92098e16.png) ---

Data or Method Directive? If it’s a pre-processing method directive it’s possible that there is something in the BOs base logic that resets the value. Technically when you add a new part l, the part plant record hasn’t been created until after the first update. I personally tend to use a data directive to set default PartPlant values. Add a condition statement so that it only fires when the record is added. ---

Method directive. Post processing. Base and Pre wouldn’t work. I was gonna try data directive next. I had it all setup on conditions but it wouldn’t work so I ripped all that out. ---

The solution was to do a “in-transaction” data directive. Boom problem solved. Thank you! ---

Good to know. I was just thrown into Epicor when I started with it years ago now. Still everyday, feel like I barely know it. There was never a outline of how all these things work. So I just figure things out. I know there is the application manual but I don’t even know how much of the customization stuff is covered. ---
