Re: Making a Ship Note based on more than one Sales Order

Mike,
Don't get too excited about Job Management...  Ram clearly stated, "But
to make it work the way we wanted we had to heavily modify [the] JBA Job
Management module."...  You cannot believe how kluge this module is...!

It was written in Sri Lanka as a field developed product far away from the
Software Products office in Studley England, and I'd say that they were not
only far apart geographically, but also in design, quality and consistency
with the rest of standard package...  It was bolted onto Standard Product
as an afterthought and held in place with duct tape like Macgyver might do.

I do not like the Job Management module in terms of what we have to do to
support it...  It is not stable (v3.5.1) and not reliable from my
experience...  It sounds like Ram & company are quite sophisticated and are
happily employing their mods along with this module to implement a workable
solution to this particularly thorny problem but fair warning, if you want
to go down that same path you're going to have a lot of work ahead of you
to make it there...

Best of luck...
