No Prompt for Mismatch of Craft and Labor

Troubleshooting


Problem

If a laborcode is changed in Work Order Actuals, the craft does not change.

Symptom

STEPS:
1. Bring up any approved work order.
2. Go to the Actuals tab, Labor sub-tab.
3. Click the "New Row" button.
4. Enter CARPENTER in the craft field.
5. Click on the arrow next to the Labor field.
6. Bring up HUNTER, click on the Craft tab, and verify that the only craft for
HUNTER is ELECT i.e. Labor HUNTER is not a carpenter.
7. Click "Return with value" to hyper-link back to the Work Order Tracking application.
8. Save the record.

Actual: The work order record can be saved with a craft that does not exist for that labor. (i.e. the craft on the work order is CARP, labor is HUNTER, even though HUNTER is an electrician).

Expected: Since there is a mismatch between craft and labor, you should receive the error below:

BMXAA2634E - Mismatches between labor, craft, skill level, vendor and contract are not allowed. Use the Select Value look-up to see a list of valid choices.
