Recently we uncovered a system bug that would allow a User
to receive an Asset back at the close of the Project and then place that same
Asset on Transshipment for the same Project.
The code always had a function saying , once you placed an Asset on a Transshipment from a Project, that it was
removed from the Receiving list for the Project. It did not however protect
against the scenario where working out of chronological order a User marked an
Asset received then returned to the Project and Transshipped the Asset. Mind
you it may not have been the same User. And why they marked it Received when it
was not really there is not the issue. We allowed it and it of course this created
a real issue for the system as essentially the Asset was now in two places at
the same time.
New code inspired by a very insightful User has now been
added to the Edit Packing List
screen. As the screen opens it asks itself,” do any of these Assets have a
Receive back date for the contextual Project? “ If an Asset holds that value the
screen elects to not display the Asset.
NOTE: Yes, if the Asset has been mistakenly received, then
it will need to be Un-Received in order to make it visible and thus available
to include on Transshipment.
