Cannot get vendor id in Vendor Maintenance/Vendor Inquiry

[pattyc]

I go to AP->Vendor Inquiry->Invoices Tab. I click on an invoice and bring up Invoice Drill Down with my customized buttons. I want to get the vendor number and invoice number. In my program script, I reference {ML_VEND_ID$}, and the value that is returned is the invoice number. I also reference {ML_INVOICE_NO$}, and the value that is returned is blank. Is this a bug? Is there any way to get the vendor id?

I also have the same problem in AP->Vendor Maintenance and Purchase Order->Inquiry->Vendor Inquiry.

Is this a bug? If so, is there a way to report bugs? This is seriously limiting the functionality we want to provide our client.

Patty,

You should contact your reseller of MAS and have them report any issues or call sage support which your reseller can also help you with.

You can try the sage forums for answers too but your reseller will have to help you with that.

Patty can you please explain what you are trying to do with your scripts.

I go to Vendor Maintenance->Invoices tab. I click on an invoice which brings up Invoice Dril Down. On Invoice Drill Down, I have three custom buttons. These buttons have scripts that call my Java app and send as parameters the vendor id and invoice id. I'm getting vendor id=invoice id, and invoice id=blank. This is also happening with Vendor Inquiry which also uses Invoice Drill Down. I need this to work for my client; otherwise the functionality is greatly reduced for them.

By the way, I do a similar thing in Invoice Data Entry (getting vendor and invoice ids), and that works fine.
