Im in Epicor 10.0 and using the PartAlloc table. Part of what I’m doing with the table takes into account the date that the Allocation was made, and the time. The Fantastic thing is the PartAlloc table has a .CreatedDate and .CreatedTime field, which is exactly what I need. Bad news is, neither of these fields have any values in them. I did a wide open search on both fields and not one PartAlloc record actually has a CreatedDate or a CreatedTime value. So why have the fields if Epicor isn’t doing anything with them?
Wondering if this was fixed in a later Epicor version. Any ideas?
Exactly what I was afraid of. They’re using Actions --> Allocate --> Allocate By Part too. So by the looks of it there should be values in there… I suppose a Data Directive is needed to fix this… Disappointing.
Those fields are populated on my 10.1.400.31 system.
It’s a little aside, but interesting one. I am about to try and create some forward visibility of allocations. Once it’s been picked, you will lose the record from this table and therefore not have access to when it was allocated. I plan to carry this forward using BPM to PartTran UD fields. I’ll also store the user who created the allocation - we work with dairy product that obviously has a shelf life (max 32 days), sometimes a user will do a manual allocation that didn’t make any sense for stock rotation. If this is of any interest, reply to this post and I’ll post my results once I’ve done it.
