Background: I’m creating a customization that allows our users to report production quantity from the Job Receipt to Inventory form instead of the MES Report Quantity form.
Issue: I assumed I could use the Report Quantity adapter to accomplish this and I have been able to use it to display the records I’m trying to manipulate but there is no Update method to save any changes. The last method that fires is ReportQuantity and quantity isn’t one of the parameters it accepts. Has anyone done anything similar with this adapter? I think I may need to use it in conjunction with the Labor adapter but I’m not sure.
Be careful with report quantity. The name is misleading. It’s assuming your are clocked into the operation and you are using report quantity to keep track. Then when you end activity, it just fills in what you had entered for report quantity, and you end activity. Most people start using Epicor think that it’s great, then they use it, realize it’s not what they thought it was, then don’t use it anymore.
The system is expecting a labor entry, so you should be using the labor entry adapter. You’ll have to handle creating a detail record and a header if the user isn’t clocked in.
