Product Configurator and Order Quantity

I got it! Thanks Kirstin! I didn't think I could do that as there is no GetCurrentOrderRel context function. After I read your suggestion I tried using a 1 in the OrderRelNum instead of pulling it from the context function. That worked fine. I also found I didn't need to manipulate the OurJobQty and OurStockQty, they updated automatically from OurReqQty as did the Selling Qty fields. Thanks so much!

I've followed the examples in the Product Configurator Technical Manual, Vantage help and searching the Vantage user group. The order quantity (and our quantity) update correctly on the order line page when I save the configuration in order entry. However, the quantity isn't carried over to the order release like it is when the order line quantity is entered manually. We are on version 8.03.409C. The Lock Order Quantity checkbox is automatically checked when I add a new line. Updating the quote line quantities works great, no release to deal with! As not all of our orders go thru the quote process I can't rely on the "bring it over from quote" option. Anyone have any idea what I'm missing? I've send in a service call to Epicor, but I don't expect any quick answers.

I'm setting up our first product configuration. I'm having a problem when I update the OrderDtl.OrderQty field using UpdateTableBuffer. I've followed the examples in the Product Configurator Technical Manual, Vantage help and searching the Vantage user group. The order quantity (and our quantity) update correctly on the order line page when I save the configuration in order entry. However, the quantity isn't carried over to the order release like it is when the order line quantity is entered manually. We are on version 8.03.409C. The Lock Order Quantity checkbox is automatically checked when I add a new line. Updating the quote line quantities works great, no release to deal with! As not all of our orders go thru the quote process I can't rely on the "bring it over from quote" option. Anyone have any idea what I'm missing?

I know I seem to be in the minority, but I sure miss using the Search CR option at a time like this! IF this is a reported bug, it sure would be nice to be able to find out without having to wait several weeks for someone in customer support to check it for me.

Have you tried setting a rule on the "Alt" level to set field quote.orderqty instead? This should pull in on the order as well.

I tried setting a rule on the Alt as you suggested, but I can't set a rule on the OrderDtl table. I can only set rules on Quote, Quote Assembly, Job, Job Assembly and Part tables. I appreciate the suggestion though!

FWIW, in E9 you have rules for OrderDtl. No help for now though...

Thanks anyway Mark...I'll file the info away with my E9 stuff. I've been told by management to not even think about it, but I'm hopeful that someday...

Sorry about that.

Can you use the updatetablebuffer on OrderRel? OurReqQty and OurJobQty (for non-stock items) or OurStockQty (for stock items)
