When did it change? It used to be when we would be entering new items in a PO we could enter a similar item, the PO would have all the correct information Vendor, Department, we could go to the item # line and change it, then edit the description if necessary. This was especially time saving when you have a item in multiple colors. Enter it once then enter then enter it again to edit the color. It will no longer allow you to do this.
Example entering a item CAR-J130BLK as the parent in the PO, Then if I wanted to enter a item CAR-J130RED, I could enter CARJ130BLK, it would fill in all the information go up to the item line and change BLK to RED, and we would have a new item without having to go through the description, vendor, department, etc.
Any way to change it back?

There has been no change. What you need to do is check the Quick Lookups? checkbox that is found on the bottom of the Edit Purchase Order Item or Receiving Item screen. This gives you this Quick Copy feature you are looking for.

The option to have this checked off has been in the program for quite some time. The reason there is an option to turn it off is that there a many customers who are using UPCs in the Stock Number field. The first 5-6 characters of a UPC (or EAN) are composed of the manufacturer's code assigned to them. The second part of the UPC is just a unique number that the manufacturer/vendor assigns to that particular item. So what would happen without the option to turn this feature off is that the first item in the inventory from that manufacturer gets pulled into the screen and this item may not have any relevance to the UPC you are currently scanning.

When using the Quick Lookups feature, you need to make the change to the original item before you save the item into the PO or Receiving List. If you make a change to the item after saving it, you are actually changing the items SKU and do not have the ability to Quick Copy items (you will see the Quick Lookups button is no longer visible).
