Updating Shipvia in a Dashboard

Hi everyone.

I am looking at creating an updatable dashboard for our warehouse manager to manage shipments. It is relatively simple in that it shows orders grouped by specific criteria and has a tracker view showing some key logistics details for each order (mostly ud fields) he has asked to be able to update the Shipvia (header or release level). The problem we have found is that if we update the Shipvia at the header level in Order Entry, we get the option to choose to pass this through to the releases. In our updatable dashboard we don’t get this option so it only updates the value at the header level. I know I could achieve what is required by calling a ud form and appropriate business objects (at least in theory I can) but I just thought I would see if anyone out there had any ideas / suggestions as to how best to approach this.

Many thanks,

Steve

If you run a trace from Order Entry, you will see there is another field that is populated after the question (something like “UpdateAllReleases”). Set this to true and it should update them. If that field isn’t available, you may have to manually create the logic using SalesOrder.MasterUpdate.
