Subject: program OE303 (additional
overrides)
We are at V3.5.1. On 1/23/97 JBA made PTF
OEV3_0907 to the program, which I believe is in error.
Basically, it does this:
If WT is not attached, the default for field
VACOF1 (VAT country) is taken from COCD05 (customer country code, a
mandatory field in A/R custmast maint). The original version of OE303
used TXCT05 for the default, which is blank if WT is not used The
program logic does not allow entry of a VAT country without also entering a
VAT registration id. If WT is not being used, why populate VAT county
in the first place? Can anyone look in later versions of this program
and see if this PTF was removed. We've done extensive mods to this
program to get both header and line level VAT overrides to work, as well as
other types of header overrides, none of which worked
originally.
Last question: We understand that GEAC
will no longer deliver JBA source code to new customers, and depending on
existing contracts, may stop delivering source to existing customers.
What have you heard? Does anyone believe that a company using JBA
would survive w/o source, given the extent of bugs, lack of documentation,
and inadequate support due to high JBA employee
turnover?
