Hi,Below error appears all the time when I try to do an inventory receipt (Inter Branch). How can I avoid this. Thanks,Dulanjana

Is there a way to force a quantity more than 0 on a SO line?This is more of a quality check for Customer Service during the order entry process.

I had another post about creating a parent-child structure to synchronize a single bill-to address among a bunch of different customers with different shipping addresses. This allows for treating ship-to customers as separate customers (can have different company names, different contacts, etc.), but a single shared billing entity.An alternate way to achieve this would be to allow customers to share billing addresses. Has anyone ever attempted something like this with customization?The idea would be to use Address table in Acumatica to provide a shared bill-to address amongst companies who have different characteristics, but share the same billing entity. This way, you could maintain consistency across all companies sharing that bill-to address.

Hi,We have set the Quantity and Price/Cost decimal place to 4, as shown below:But the in Purchase Order window Ext. Cost is still showing in 2 decimal place, see below: How to change Ext. Cost also to 4 decimal place ? Thanks,Shyam.

Hello All,How can we show Customer Class Prices in Self Services Portal ?Thank you’Jennifer

what i have to do to solve the problem 

Our customer would like the ability to indicate a PO is critical and be notified when the PO Receipt is entered.  Has anyone done this?  Does anyone have any ideas?  Thanks in advance.

Hello,I have few customers which are using Self Service Portal , how can I restrict them to see specific items rather than seeing all lists of items?Thank youJennifer

I added the State field (part of Address DAC) to the Customer lookup GI. It shows fine in the GI view, but not in the Customer lookup inside the Sales Order lookup screen. Does anyone know how to make the State field show up inside the Customer lookup in the Sale Order screen?

I added some columns to the Cusomer lookup GI that you can load within the sales order screen. I would like to make the default width of this popover screen wider to accommodate the additional columns. Does this require a customization project to change the width of the popover window, or can it be done with configuration sans customization? (screenshot redacted with white box) 

Is it possible to have different letterhead populate on forms (Sales Order Confirmation, Shipment Confirmation) based on order type? We are acquiring a new brand and would like to avoid having a separate branch but would still like to have the ability to have the branding different based on the order. Is this possible? 

I’m trying to add Sales Categories to my Inventory items with an import scenario using the Stock Item screen to add items to my already created categories but have had no success. Has anyone succesfully been able to add stock items to sales categories with an import scenario?

When created a navigation in a GI it wants it to be an external url.Is there a way to create a local path it will accept to a pdf with a specific file name?\\server\data\files\((Shipment.Nbr)).pdfThe pdf files would be saved with the shipment number as the file name.

We promote stock items to our customers on a weekly and monthly basis.  Or we encourage our sales team to focus on certain stock items for a short period of time.  How can we track these promoted items to see if we are increasing sales of the promoted items?  Does Acumatica have a build in report to track and compare sales of an item to see increases on a short-term basis? 

when tried to prepare invoice it was showing the following error:  Inserting 'AR Invoice/Memo' record raised at least one error. Please review the errors. Error: The 03-2022 financial period is inactive in the MUFFINS company.

I would like to dynamically change the color (“Connotation”) of the Confirm Shipment action button (Shipment Entry screen) depending on a condition in 21R2.Example use case: If the Package Weight is not within an allowable range of the Shipped Weight, then change the Confirm Shipment action button connotation to "Warning". Otherwise, use “Success”. This color change would provide another visual indicator to my fulfillment staff that a shipment is okay to confirm.I’m currently using the `SOShipment_PackageWeight_FieldUpdated()` event to raise a SetPropertyException, but the warning icon is so small that it’s easily missed. I want to provide more visible feedback to the end-user to help prevent costly packaging errors.In the 21R2 workflow editor, the color appears to be controlled by the “Connotation” selection.It does not appear to be possible to conditionally change the connotation of the Action button using the 21R2 workflow editor. How can it be done using code? Maybe using PXScreenC

Does anyone know how the Landed Costs with Type - VAT Taxes work?I want to know how to configure and how it works. Thanks Jesus 

Hello There,I wanted to see alternate ID on PO Receipt line, how can I do this?Thank youJennifer

Does anyone have thoughts on how I might supply inventory balances to the system externally without having to manage inflows (Purchase Receipts) and outflows (selling stock from the warehouse)?As we test transitioning from our old system, we’d like to use the balances from the old system but allow the new system to enforce order limits, etc.I’m guessing this is not a thing, but I’m curious if anyone has any clever tricks to make this work...

I would like to ask is it possible and how to set outside process (outsourcing) without manufacturing mode. Till now I found solutions only for manufacturers by creating Production Orders but what if there is no production onside and we ship a purchased item to the Vendor for an outside process (coating etc) and then afterwards we receive it back from Vendor ready to sell. How to organize that case in the system in order to calculate costs correctly and track the item?

Hello everyone, I am playing around with the mobile app with warehouse management. I am trying to use the scan and transfer function to transfer between warehouses but the scan and transfer function seems to only allow transfer between locations in a single warehouse. Is there a way to bypass this? Is there any work-around? Thank you

2 of our customers have asked us to hide the Update IN and prepare invoice screen on the shipment screen.I tired to do this with permissions but am not well versed in it. After some research, it looks like I will need to do it through a custom work flow.Is this the right way to do this? Can I tie different workflows to specific roles? If not, do I just create a new screen based on it, add it to the site map and tie that to the role?All advice appreciated and thanks in advance.
