I have just finished converting a rental program from A5V4 TO A5V5. In V4 I had the following posting rules defined, but it doesn't seem to work in V5...
rental equipment table has;
status field (defaults to "Available")
in the rental items table, i have the following fields
status1 (defaults to "Rented")
posting rule: go to rental equip and post "Rented" in
status field if Close"X" (close=field, char 2, that is
changed from "" to "X" when item is returned)
'THIS PART WORKS IN BOTH VERSION, AS SOON AS I ADD
TO THE RENTAL CONTRACT IT PLACES STATUS TO RENTED
status2 (defaults to "Available")
posting rule: go to rental equip and post "Available"
in status field if Close="X"
'THIS PART WORKS IN VERSION 4 - BUT DOESNT WORK IN 5 - NO MATTER WHAT I TRY, I CANNOT GET IT TO UPDATE STATUS TO AVAILABLE AGAIN ONCE I ENTER "X" IN CLOSE.
THERE ARE SEVERAL PLACES IN THE APPLICATION THAT THIS IS HAPPENING. FOR EXAMPLE, I HAVE A REPAIR FEATURE THAT ALLOWS THEM TO CHECK AN ITEM OUT (ONE FIELD UPDATES STATUS TO "REPAIR" IF REPAIR CLOSE "X" & ONE FIELD UPDATES STATUS TO "AVAILABLE" IF REPAIR CLOSE ="X") THE "REPAIR" WORKS, BUT NOT THE UPDATE BACK TO AVAILABLE.
It seems that in each situation, the original posting rule on a new item line works, but once saved and then changed (adding "X" in the close field), the posting rule doesn't fire. ANY IDEAS OR HELP?
