Category Checking Each Part Number can be assigned a category of up to 4 characters or numbers. Usually it is desired that these categories are already set up in the Order Entry Category table. However the system will work ok if these part # categories are not in the O/E table. Categories not in the table are treated by O/E as the default STD category for O/E reporting and G/L posting. Also blank categories default to STD. However Inventory reports, ie the status report, re-order, etc will separate out by whatever category is used in the PN, regardless if in the Category table or not. If your system of inventory uses categories that are NOT in the OE category table, and you do not want the "invalid category" error message popping up whenever you exit a PN master window, then uncheck the checkbox on the underlying window. This will be effective for this company for everybody.
