Hi...

I am trying to find a way to let the user know when entering a purchase order, if there is a 0.00 standard cost for an item, to not let the item be entered or a warning message to appear.  They are on version 4.30.  Any thoughts would be great...

Thanks.

This is the kind of enhancement that Advanced Field Scripting was created to do.  In 4.30 it's very awkward to do.  You would need to create a button that overlays the standard OK button, change the normal OK button short cut key to something else, assign the pseudo OK button to the Alt+O short cut, adjust the tab sequencing so that the pseudo OK button follows the Ordered Quantity.  They write the script to check the cost and either issue a message or invoke the standard OK button.

THEN YOU HAVE TO DO IT AGAIN (al beit an easier method) when you upgrade to 4.40.  Depending on how hard the upgrade is...it would be great to only have to do it once.
