I’m wondering if there is any way to add a new tab in Job Entry to show all materials in the job. Right now, Job Details → materials > List show all material related to JobNum + AssemblySeq selected. However, with jobs having multiple assemblies, it would be nice to have a list with everything in there
I know that I can create a new sheet with a Menu ID that is an updateable Dashboard but there are some limitations and problems doing that. Ideally, I could just modify the JobMtl view to remove that link with AssemblySeq
Any idea?
Hey Steven,
Check out a BAQView. You can write a pretty simple BAQ on JobMtl to get what you want, bind that to a grid, and then Pub/Sub the JobNum to populate it. There are multiple examples here and Jose even has a YouTube video.
If you want it to be updatable, then that’s probably an embedded dashboard but same idea.
It would be really easy if it was only readonly but people want it to be updateable and pretty much replace the Job Entry detail view so the only easy solution is to use the JobMtl view
Otherwise, if I use an embedded Dashboard, calling the JobEntry adapter to update often returns error via the Dashboard that shouldn’t be there. Also, fields that are disabled via a row rule in the Job Entry form won’t be readonly in the Dashboard unless I program a row rule on that which is a lot of work in the end
That’s why I thought about modifying the view at first
Gotcha. Not sure about that one I’m afraid.
Job Status shows all materials for a job
That’s true but Job Status doesn’t include every column related to the material, especially UD Columns. Also, Job Status it not updateable as far as I know unfortunately
