    Leslie,

    I ran into this while fixing Fixed Assets and AA:  Those items don't have an index and are hardcoded in the stored procedures that run.  It even does things like pull the first five letters for the FA Doc Number when sorting, so if you want a custom name you MUST use something that comes before the FA lettering sequence.

    i.e. If you say MUTRX it will break the user interface because it won't be able to find the next index #, but if it was AATRX then it works.

    //trickest bug to figure out...took many hours looking through SQL trace...

    Hi,

    I couldn't figure out a way to do it short of going into SQL and changing it. I presumed you wanted it to automatically create a batch of a different name. With custom programming you can make it any name you wish, but if you wanted an out-of-the-box solution, I couldn't find one.

    Kind regards,

    Leslie

    Thank you Leslie. So just to be sure it is impossible to change the FATRX batch name.

    Hi,

    I couldn't figure out an easy way to do this. I was hoping I could go into the Audit Trail Code setup, but the Fixed Asset transactions are not included on this window.

    Kind regards,

    Leslie
