easier way to look for parts on OBSOLETE RETURN ....doh!

Colour us partially stupid --it took us this long to figure this out .... hmm ...how many other things are we doing the DUMB way .... ???

Got a list of obsolete parts ...say 150 numbers in Walker ... the dumb way is to enter each part in a 3-18 ir 2-2 screen and see if we have it -- right ... or ignore and hope we did have any ( the lazy way )

WELL -- here is the SMART WAY -- try it out on te next obsolete list we receive.
Steps
1- wait for a list -- say WALKER as =mentioned above
2-run a 2-20 report and use a SAVED format -- # 9
3- for heavens sake -- DO NOT DELETE this or any other saved format ..it is easy to do if you are NOT watching what you answer to
4-just run for the line in question --or if you must run for al lines -- NEVER ...I repeat ...NEVER run to a printer ...what a tree killer , -- if you want all lines -- call Greg H and you can see how to save to a capture file on our emulator

Neat - or what --if you have anything --it will show --if it shows nothing --then you are free & clear ...we have used the following logic ( in case someone from another store is reading this --this is what we dod with Mikes HELP)
set to display mfg code ( hmm --don;t see this on report - might have to tweek it
set description to print
set to print ONLY if movement code is EQUAL to zero
set to print ONLY if on hand is GREATER THAN zero
set to show cost

enjoy --like i said at the start --one dumb problem solved --how many more dumb problems do we need to find and fix ...
