Alt-Search Field Diff Table?

Savatage

In the Item Table I've changed the Atl-Search Field Property of "No." to
"Item UPC/EAN Number". "Item UPC/EAN Number" is a field on the item table that holds the item's UPC Code. When I enter and Item# or scan in a upc code on the sales order or credit memo all works just fine!!

Sometimes an item can have two upc codes (for whatever reason) but have the same item #. So I've used the item Varient table to hold all possible UPC codes for an item.

Now I can't simply change the Alt Search Field of the Item "No." to "Item Varient"."Item UPC/EAN Number" which would solve my problem.

I would like to scan in whatever upc code - have it search the Item Varient Table and if it finds a matching upc to enter the correct item#.
just as the Alt-Search Field Does now.

Before I being I was wondering if there are any good suggestions out there.

two options.

1. Create a new field where the users will enter the UPC code.
On validate of this field. add code find the itemvariant record and then validate No. field.


2. Change the property ValidateTableRelation to no.
On validate of No. field add code that looks similar to this.

IF "No." = '' THEN
  EXIT;
IF Type <> Type::" " THEN
  Quantity := TempSalesLine.Quantity;

//Start Mod
if   type = Type::Item then begin
  ItemVariant.Setrange("Variant Code","No.");
  if ItemVariant.find('-') then
    "no." := ItemVariant."Item No."
end;
//End Mod

"System-Created Entry" := TempSalesLine."System-Created Entry";
