Thanks for all of the responses. The Multiples field on the
Inv/Purch form does only apply to Manufactured items. I am glad to
hear that it will apply to purchased items in V8. I'm just really
surprised the Min-Mult-Max concept was overlooked in V6.1.
The trick about entering a factor of 0 is very helpful and even
calculates to more decimal places on the receiver than the
purchasing factor on the part. The additional decimals on the
purchasing factor would be better since it would only have to be
calculated once, but the "0" trick is better than nothing. (Let's
see, 1 bottle = 3850 grams so 7 bottles would be . . . . Well,
there is always that calculator feature.)
Thanks again group.
