Prim Bin Rant

I really wish they would make the primary bin a database field.
I get so many requests to query this data and it’s such a pain in the butt to need to make it use the BO on GetList to populate a field. BAH.

Maybe I’ll just make it a UD field… :thinking:

Yeah in some cases we have a _UD Field and in Data Directive we just populate that UD Field with the temp information so we can stop chasing it.

Just curious … Where (or better yet, How) is the Primary Bin value stored?

It’s in the PlantWhse table.

Well–that’s not intuitive at all. :expressionless:

And field help is useless for that.

So why cant @hmwillett just use that instead of the BO?

When I need to find a field, I use the Help File that @hkeric.wci (I think?) made. You can use it like a searchable data dictionary

What happened to “you’ll just know!”… sigh

So DB structures are like porn?

Another thing I do is I have installed CMDER on the Server then I can grep server binary files and then I know which ones to use .NET Reflector or on the Client.

Example - Client Side Only:
What it indicates is that there is a Method, Class or String matchin the text

Lets search for an Error or Warning String

Lets see who has something with Negative*Quantity

Lets see who has something with OrderHed.PONum within the Client Adapters/UIApps etc…


It helps knowing which DLL to .NET Reflect on or JustDecompile.

You can also map the UNC Path of Server Assemblies to a Drive Letter and use it from your PC. By the way grep is FAST and I mean fast, once it caches your directory you get instant results.
