Posted on by bikerg 30

Currently running 3 store ops and 1 hq.  I would like to change the sub description captions in the item properties window to more useful term.  I know it can be done in Store Ops.  Can it be done in HQ Manger.

    You can modify the HQLanguage.DAT file using notepad in C:\Program Files\Microsoft Retail Managemen System\Headquarters. Look for S6640 - S6668 near the bottom of the list.

    RE: Change Sub Description captions in HQ item screen

    I am trying to change Sub Description 1 to Supplier Item# & tried changing as you suggested but still not showing caption "Supplier Item#".. Is their something else needs to change? also, what do you change for 3-different type of caption for one caption.

    Please help me with this..

    You need to run an update statement against the customcaption table in HQ to change them.

    select * from customcaption

    backup your database before you run the update statement to change the corresponding values...

    for example

    update customcaption

    set caption = 'new value'

    where style = 'style of the caption you want to change'

    note this change will not go down to the stores; those are changed locally through the application

    RE: Change Sub Description captions in HQ item screen

    I wanted to change following item captions:

    1) Sub Description 1 to Supplier Item#

    2) Sub Description 2 to Size

    3) Sub Description 3 to BPC

    Can you please guide me to make a change? I am not too familiar running SQL query & don't want to screw up database.

    Thank you

    Vinay - if you are the administrator for your RMS system you will need to learn some basic SQL. I was in your shoes several years ago, so it can be done. and it's all free on the internet. google "sql tutorial" and you'll have plenty of results to get you where you need to be.

    run

    select * from customcaption

    then post back your results

    RE: Change Sub Description captions in HQ item screen

    If you want to make the following changes: 1) Sub Description 1 to Supplier Item#

    2) Sub Description 2 to Size 3) Sub Description 3 to BPC

    --Note that the right place to track supplier item number is in the supplier tab of the item's properties as that gets assigned on purchase orders

    backup your database first, I recommend you do this when there are no users in the system

    then run your first update query

    update customcaption

    set caption = 'Supplier Item#'

    where style = 16 and caption = 'Sub Description 1'

    check the item screen to see if the update worked

    if it did, run

    update customcaption

    set caption = 'Size'

    where style = 17 and caption = 'Sub Description 2'

    and then run

    update customcaption

    set caption = 'BPC'

    where style = 18 and caption = 'Sub Description 3'

    Yes, It worked and I just realize what you have suggested to use supplier item# is correct. I will modify this to add useful description of item instead of Supplier item#.

    Thank you for your help.

    Hi Taier,

    Thanks for your help on this.

    Do you know if the HQLanguage.DAT file has changed since? I went to the suggested lines to change my sub descriptions but didn't find them. Instead:

    S6964="Sub Description 1"

    S6966="Sub Description 2"

    S6968="Sub Description 3"

    S6970="Sub-Description 1"

    S6972="Sub-Description 2"

    S6974="Sub-Description 3"

    but I am not sure those are the correct lines to change.
