CAFAM - Downloads

Symptom

On doing a Purchase order, CAFAM does not display or prompt the Next Purchase Order, but says instead "Next PURC No".

Reason

This has been done as a result of update 2T. We have had some experience on a busy network (with several Buyers and Sales people) where the delay in accepting the Order Number (or Sales Invoice No.) prompted was causing some transactions to be written with the same Number but to different Suppliers. Obviously, this was not acceptable, so the Software has been modified to allocate the number AFTER the first line of transaction. It works much better now, because your can use the drop down feature to search for a previous Order to add to or ascertain the last Order number used.

Fix

None. This is normal operation

Tip

To get the next PO number, when prompted enter "9999". This will force CAFAM to drop down the search/browse window and you will readily see the last Purchase Order number. Obviously, you can select on this table to "Add to a Previous Purchase Order"

NOTE

This logic (above) where the Number is not displayed but acquired after the first item of transaction has also been applied to throughout the CAFAM Program wherever an Auto numbering system is required.
