Topic: Large number of items problem

Hello,

First just want to say excellent piece of software. We have done numerous searches and test of other similar programs and preferred FA among them.

We got everything set up and got to the stage where we added in our items (110,000+) and realized with this many that most of the sections are unusable (load times) due to the population of items in the combo boxes in the sales order screen, or items screen, or any screen that has those boxes.

Can this be turned off either by built in feature (could not find) or through the code itself? I realize this is useful for many companies with less items, but for our purposes, it is not needed in any capacity.

Thank you for any help in this regard.

Re: Large number of items problem

Please use the 'search Item List', in Company Setup.
You can read about how this works in the wiki.

I guess this will solve your problems.

Re: Large number of items problem

Hi Joe,

Thanks for the response. I tried that last night and didn't seem to solve the issue.

I moved the software to a higher end production type server and enabled the option again as you suggested this morning and it is now manageable. I think the testing laptop just couldn't handle it!

Really appreciate what you guys are doing here.

Thanks!

Probably just a browser cache issue.
