Hi Community,

May I know 2 questions:

1. Is there a way to hide the location code from orders and invoices so as to prevent users from mistaking choose it?

I'm not sure if removing the location is an advisable way, because I noticed in Navision, when you remove something, sometimes it will cause all the orders and invoices to have missing values.

For example, the Sales Person Code. If you remove the Salesman code, then all the previously created Sales Order and Sales invoices that was linked to that Salesman code is gone, which is no ideal.

2. I know that in Dimension, I can block a certain field and it will hide it. does location also has this?

I have the same question (0)

    Hi,

    We dont have such facility on Location, but yes you can ask your developer to help on this, so that it always blank when you create a new line on Sales Invoice or Sales Order or whatever you need.
