The default method for finding account numbers is to click the question mark button to display a standard popup window. You can then search through the Account Number table to find the value you are looking for. There are four other options available as defined by the Account Validation setup window. If your information technology group agrees to provide the programming routines, you will be able to employ other methods.
Modules Affected
You can enter an account number through windows in the Work Order and Inventory modules. The Account Validation window offers you the flexibility to choose a separate validation method for each module.
Validation Method Options
You can choose from the following validation methods:
This is the default method delivered with the standard version of TabWare. A question mark icon appears next to the Account Number field, providing access to a popup window for searching and selecting a value.
Use function (Validation Only)
Your information technology group coordinates the inclusion of Powerbuilder routines. The window does not provide a popup search window. The user enters a value to the Account field, the programming routines validate the value, and error messages display when required.
Use function (Selection List and Validation)
Your information technology group coordinates the inclusion of Powerbuilder routines that provide validation and a popup search window. A question mark icon appears next to the Account Number field, allowing the user access to a popup window of your design.
Use external DLL (Validation Only)
This method is the same as Use function (Validation Only) except for the programming language employed. Instead of PowerBuilder routines, this option assumes the use of another language, such as C++.
