Re: JBA Allocations

Very creative thinking Ram...!!!
And may I add - an excellent illustration of why it is important to have
access to the Source Code...!!!

Use of the VCOD15 field in INP15 (Descriptions file) for things other than
VAT is not uncommon...
I think they found a need to add more functionality into the Desc. file and
thought that this would be a conveinient field to use for some Major Type
codes...  And so it evolved into more creative uses...  I do not have a
clear picture of what other fields and other codes are used for in this
file...

Perhaps someone else knows more...  You said you saw it in the Source Code
was there no indication there as to what a '2' represented...?

Good luck...

We Have a need here that if the Order is suspended like Credit Limit
Exceeded for Customer etc. we do not want the order to loose its
allocations/reservations/Back to backs etc. I was checking AO005 program
and
found that if we set up the TAX Code (VCOD15) in the descriptions file
(INP15) for that suspension code (Parameter Type - SUSP) to a '1  ' then
the
program does not call AO013 to make it loose its allocations. I tried this
feature in test and it worked like a charm. But I still want a second
opinion because what has a vat code to do with allocations????.
I also want to know what happens if I have a '2   ' in the VCOD15 field
because the program also checks for a value of '2'
Thanks in advance for your Help
