character used to move any items to the end of a search
« on: October 05, 2016, 05:40:46 AM »
There are five ascii characters which are higher than lower case z in ascii codes. When I use any of the four of them which are keystroke characters than are printable they all sort before letters in the ITEM# field. Are there any characters which sort after letters in this software?

I am trying to get them to move to the end of an export so that I can do seasonal ordering. In the meat of our season we sold 8592 items. If there was a way to get the software to do a meaningful purchase order based on history rather than regurgitating the contents of the ORDER POINT and ORDER fields then this manual generation of a series of POs would not be as necessary. So far neither of the methods of generating POs has proven even slightly useful.

In product control these sort before letters and numbers. Do they sort before in an export? I guess I assume they would. I am looking for a way to move them to the end. Marking an item discontinued prevents one from selling remaining stock.

Have you tried the order estimator.  That uses the sales volume to estimate order quantities.

I find it pretty easy to just change the order points as demand changes.  The way you can do it now is easy and fast.

We use the Purchase Order function A LOT, and find it very useful.

I am looking for a way to make products which are discontinued or on the DNR list to display at the end of the list in Product Control.
