How to set a default value in a text box.

franklin1232

On the vendor form I would like the Gen. Bus. Posting group and vendor posting group to default to General since that is the only option available. How can I do this? I would also like the payment terms to default to 30 days.

For default values like that I would probably add fields to the Purchases and Payables Setup table for those fields. Then in the OnInsert of the Vendor table, I'd put some code to populate those fields from the setup table, but only if their values are blank. That way, you have a solution that is maintenance free, and your users will be able to modify the default values without getting any expensive developer time.

Adding these Default values to the setup table is probably the best way even tho the above answer works too.

I thought the easy way would be the table default value, but it says I don't have permission. I have a developers license why would it not allow me to change the table setup?

Solution developer license? Are you sure?

With a developer license you should be able to do this, so you must not have a developer license, or your permissions are restricted.
