Re: [SL] Sometimes can't print Sales Orders or Invoices

SourceForge Headquarters 225 Broadway Suite 1600 San Diego, CA 92101 +1 (858) 422-6466

It's easy to sell things that aren't in inventory, we do it all the  
time when parts come in last minute for a project with a tight  
schedule.  The system handles it just fine as a negative inventory  
quantity.
    Not to mention having had new employees do some truly bizarre and  
creative stuff when trying to create, correct and/or sell assemblies  
with wrong parts and/or new parts I strongly doubt this is the cause  
of the issue as we've never seen this kind of thing come up before.

Thanks,

Michael

Keep using articles, but do it right.

I would strongly advise to not change existing articles, but copy  
them (save
as new) and then do some changing.
So "PC c2d version 1" could be saved as new, e.g. "PC c4d version 1".
THEN change the CPU in the assembly to a quadcore. That way, you will  
not
try to sell or assemble a PC with a quadcore IN THE PAST while  
quadcore was
not available.

No wonder you can not get the invice to print. The item (or part of the
assembly) was not at hand, so how could u have sold it to begin with?

Maybe you could even do the new article bit now, setting original  
article
back.
Re-try the sales and if that works, make a new article.

Basic idea: The flow of goods trough the accounting depratment should  
match
the real world. If you do that, this kind of problem woul dnot arise  
again I
take it.
(Other kinds of problems will take their place, not to worry)
