In 8.03, what's the best/easiest way to track a UD numeric field? Let's say I use Number01 for a quantity on JobOper. On the end activity MES screen I add an input field for numeric entries that pertain to the JobOper.Number01 field (maybe LaborDtl.Number01). I want to show the remaining quantity on the MES screen and error check data entry (to prevent negative quantities). Would I need an additional field like JobOper.Number02 to store the remaining balance? Or would it be better to not store the balance but always calculate it on the fly?
Report-wise, it seems easier to store the remaining balance rather than always calculate it, like how the QtyComplete is stored along with the Req Qty.
If that's the case then how can I initially set JobOper.Number02 = JobOper.Number01? Can I do this with BPM on the JobDetail screen?
Thanks for any response.
