No Labels for Assembly Items = Completely Unacceptable

How many assemblies do you have? Are you using assemblies on purchase orders? Do you have a barcode printer? If so, what brand/model?

Well over 100, most of which are mattress sets that account for about 1/4 of all sales. I also have quite a few Kit items, but those labels print normally.

No. I don't think you can do that.

No. I print my labels on regular laser printers.

TT,

Have you tried the RITE label program?

I tried it. Getting the evaluation to run was like jumping through a long series of burning hoops. An interesting concept, but not a solution for this problem.

I appreciate the thought, Tom

I can make my own signs six ways to Sunday, but getting a scannable barcode on them is a whole different animal.

If it weren't so much trouble, I'd be OK with a separate database with Standard versions of all of my Assembly items. Since I run HQ and SO on the same LAN, my SO dongle is on Register 1 with the HQ dongle on the server. When I use a separate database, after the eval period expires I have to exit POS on Register 1, reconfigure SO Admin and launch POS just to get into my 'extra' database so I can print labels. Then I need to reverse the process so Register 1 can get back to business.

It's just stupid. Microsoft has failed to follow through with their own design intent--as evidenced by the Label Wizard's offering of Assembly Items as a potential group of labels to be printed.

My default label shows Price C (not a valid field for an assembly item), Price (for an assembly, this would be the sum of all components), Description, ILC, SubDescriptions1-3 and Date Rec'd (again, the SubDesc's & Date are not valid for assembly items).

I would be OK with a separate label design for assembly items. All I really need is Price (sum of components), Description, ILC and Barcode.

Maybe create a new database then import the assembly items as normal items and print out barcodes from there.

Another option would be to create a seperate RMS database and import your asssembly items into it as normal items then print them out.

I'm with Tom...

Assembly items are non functional.. what if I want to report on how many assemblies I sold...not possible what if I want to print an assembly price list...not possible What if I want to report on customers who purchased an assembly... not possible. In effect they are useless.

and I don't really want to purchase an "add-on" to give the functionality that should have been incorporated in the first place.

I have been using this software since Quicksell2000. It has hardly improved. the interface is roughly the same. The functionality is somewhat better, it is more stable, and their are fewer bugs...But there has not been much DEVELOPMENT!
