V4.5.5 I've added some UDF's to the CI_Item file and made them mandatory for items in item maintenance. Now when I am entering Miscellaneous Item codes for purchase order, I am receiving an error message that these two UDF's are required. WTF - These are MISC. ITEM codes. Does anyone have a work around or do I have to set up these UDF's on the misc item entry panel and pretend to use them....

If you mark it required, then it is required for all records in CI_Item. You might be better served by a script that fires on write and validates that the required fields are complete for just inventory items.

Since everything is in the same file, just add choices for None or NA.

@MarkKotyla - That is the route I will be taking. But first I have to add these UDF's to the MISC item entry screen. Guess it is a WAD. Thanks to both of you.

If you set a default value you don't need to add the field to the screen. Just run an import to set values for all items. From that point on you should be good.
