Service Release 2 Bug Fixes

This Service Release fixes the following problems that occurred in Version 11.

Incorrect Error Appears When Deleting Warehouses

If you attempted to delete a warehouse that was not assigned to a master item, you would sometimes receive an error "The warehouse code exists in the Master Item file. You cannot delete this code." This error only occurred when warehouses with a code greater than the code being deleted existed and at least one of these codes was associated with a master item. The program now only displays this error if the warehouse being deleted is included on a master item record.

Services With Messages Not Appearing in Order Entry

When a Service code with a description or hidden sales assistant lines was added to an order, the lines did not appear. When you entered through to the next item number field, neither the Description line nor the Hidden line appeared on the screen. This is resolved and the Description lines and Hidden lines for Service codes now appear appropriately.
