Something is not right when doing an item lookup by "Vendor Stock Number". I have my "Vendor List" configured to allow lookups by all 13,000 rows in the inventory table.
From the Purchase screen, pressing the * key to switch the register from asking you for a "stock number" to type in a "vendor stock number" it switches fine and at the bottom of the screen the menu changes to [F]1=View table [Esc]=Cancel.
From this point nothing functions correctly and as an added bonus you are thrown into "lookup purgatory", Any attempt to lookup a vendor # or select an item from the table or canceling with [3] does nothing except flip between the lookup screens or scrolling through the table and not being able to pick any item in the table. And if you get back to the first screen where it says [Esc]=Cancel the program seems to ignore this and continues to do more searching of the inventory table. The only way out is by killing the DOS window.
On my test machine at home, its consistent for all versions 639 to 640x and its also consistent on my system at the store with 639q.
Have a look see...
Thanks,
Bruce

The vendor NAME has nothing to do with this. At the purchase screen I am switching to lookup by vendor STOCK NUMBER by hitting the * key. Once there, there is no way to select an item or get back to lookup by STOCK NUMBER.Try clearing the vendor name from the lookup field before pressing escape to exit.
You have to set the system to search by vendor number on the Global PC and exit the program completely before it will work correctly.
I am using a single computer and yes, I have my "Vendor List" configured to allow lookups by all 13,000 rows in the inventory table.

Brucef2112,
Sorry, I meant to say vendor number.
On my system if I type in a vendor number and try to escape it will not exit until I have cleared(backspace or delete) the field of all characters that I typed.
Once the field is cleared escape works and you should be able to return to the normal sale screen.
Hope it works for you as I use this feature very often.

Well, I tried that and it didn't work.
Even while I'm in there searching it won't let me choose option 1)Correct Item. The choice to continue search just keeps cycling around. And the Vendor stock# i enter never makes a match. And of course there is no way out once I'm in the vendor lookup screen.
What version are you using? Is there anything else to configure other than the # of records to search?

At this stage I am using 6.39n1 with slightly modified POS.exe.
It works very well without any major problems although the option to seach by Vendor # sometimes disappears and I have to go to Posconfig to configure it again.
I am not aware of anything else apart from the # of lines to search that can have an effect on this feature and there is nothing else that can be configured.
I think the only person that could be able to assist would be Dale.
