MES End activity qty

Epicor ERP 10
1

We are looking for a why to have the quantities in the end activity screen to show has blank or null when the screen is open.

We have users that click into the field and don’t remove the 0. Then they report 10x the amount as they should have reported. Doesn’t happen often but when it does it cause a big problem.

Has anyone successfully create a customization that would do this? With my limited knowledge of C# haven’t been able to solve this riddle.

Thanks

Tom

End.LaborQty = EpiNumericEditor control

I had a similar request & remember the numeric field could not be null/blank.
Don’t remember the exact details but I ended up doing something like this…

  • hide the std numeric entry field (set size 0,0 and remove tab stop)
  • displaying a blank text field instead
  • convert/copy from that text field when saving the record
  • and there were a few exceptions I had to handle

Try customizing the form and setting the mask to #######
The screenshot below is from Order Entry, but before putting in the mask, the field would show a single zero. After masking it, if the field is zero, it shows blank.
The principle should be the same in MES.

OnEnter (focus) of text box: textbox.text=""

Unfortunately the mask didn’t work on End Activity… for me at least.
I the way the record loads it gets overridden.

Hello!
Has anyone tried the Chris_Conn solution with success or any other with success? We have the same issue here. Constant battle with Zero field not being deleted or overwritten. As a result, we spend many hours per year correcting/adjusting or Chasing “Ghost parts”!

Many thanks and best regards!

I have had success with it :stuck_out_tongue:

I use SelectAll() on the click event.
