FEATURE REQUEST: Check if W.O. is currently open before creating new W.O. of the same name
If you have a work order already open and then attempt to create a W.O. with the same name as the open one, it freezes MV. Can there be a validation that won't allow it to make the attempt if you are in a W.O. of the same name? That way, it could hopefullyFEATURE REQUEST - Extruded Hardware that draws in 3D and optimizes to get a quantity
There are several ways I can imagine going about creating and allocating "extruded hardware" using cut parts, solid stock, hardware parts, molding, profiles, or some combination of any of those. We have tried 3 approaches so far: 1) Creating cut partsEBP/SMT/SMA functioning in various "Builds and Libraries"
