Fix-MFG Note Duplicates

Fix-MFG Note Duplicates

The MFG module has two procedures for getting the “next note index” when you add notes in different locations. Depending on which window you are on when you add a note it will result in a duplicate note index (i.e. the same note will appear on at least two records). The MFG Note Fix ensures that the MFG module always uses the correct method to get the next note index and therefore prevents creating duplicate notes.

The following windows can create duplicate MFG note indexes:

BOM Copy (BOM_Configure)

Routing Sequence Entry (mfg_router)

Sequences Copy (mfg_router_edit_Copy)

Routing Duplicate (mfg_router_edit_Duplicate)

Option Category Maintenance (Option_Category_Maintenance)

Sales Configurator (Sales_Configurator)

Manufacturing Order Routing Sequence Edit (WO_Edit)

Additionally, the MFG code for creating an MRP Routing, Working Routing, and Configured Routing all can create duplicate MFG Note Indexes.
