Thanks,
Yes I
understand the marking but how well does it really
work!!!???
I have
a customer on SP1 that uses create PO from SO but because marking worked so
badly at the time of implementation I had to modify so that batch number was
copied from sales order to purchase order to keep the back to back stock
'tight'. Also the benefit of this is it is easy for the user to track
because all the transactions have the same batch number.
So
right now Axapta is at SP3 but I really dont know how good the marking
really is and of course the main aim is to get very tight linked stocked but
also thinking about it using dimension would be nice as it makes tracability so
much easier. Therefore I see that I have two options:
1)
Using mark - but I would really appreciate any feedback from those who have been
using it (or does noone trust it like me?).
2)
Modify so that dimension is copied from SO to PO when user selects the PO stock
they want. This I think would be a ideal as it also allows easy tracking
of what happened but I am not a true technical guy so dont know where I could
make a change like this (anyone any pointers?)
Thanks
James

Are you sure you want to use stock dimensions for this.
When you create a purchase order from a sales order, the PO stock
transactions are linked to the SO stock transactions by the field
inventreftransid
You can create exactly the same link by using Stock Marking.
There is a document on the Axapta V3 release disk that explains this.
Hope this helps
