NS-13887 - Fish Tickets: Change the Permit Holder Without Playing Field Jenga

Changing the Permit Holder on a Fish Ticket has always been a big deal because it is tied to a small family reunion of related fields: permit, vessel, CFEC ID, paid fisherman account, currency, and probably a few feelings.

We’ve added a new Change Permit Holder action to the Fish Ticket Record View to make this process simple to do. From More Actions, eligible tickets can now launch a guided workflow that lets you select a replacement Permit Holder record while preserving the rest of the existing ticket information.

When the change is saved, NorthScope updates the related Permit Holder details for you, including:

  • Permit Holder

  • Permit

  • Vessel

  • CFEC ID

  • Paid Fisherman account

  • Currency

This workflow is intended for New Fish Tickets only. If the ticket is not eligible, NorthScope will stop the change and display a clear message instead of letting you wander into bad-data territory with a flashlight and good intentions.

And because changing the Permit Holder may also change the Gear, NorthScope will alert you when that happens so you can verify the Management Program, Price List, and Stat Area before moving on.

In short: changing the Permit Holder is treated carefully, because it should be—but now users have a safe, guided way to fix it without deleting the ticket and starting over like it’s 2004.

Purchasing

NS-13892 - Purchase Orders: The Friendly Message Is Back from Its Unplanned Vacation

A while back, we added a helpful message to stop users from deleting Purchase Order lines that were already assigned to Inventory Receipts. Then, because software likes to keep us humble, that friendly message regressed and users were seeing a raw foreign key error again. Nothing says “user-friendly” like a database yelling in another language.

We’ve fixed it properly this time. If a Purchase Order line is assigned to an Inventory Receipt in New, Approved, or Posted status, NorthScope will prevent deleting line items and show a clear message:

“Purchase Order Lines that are assigned to transactions cannot be deleted. (Transaction # List)”

If the related Receipt has been deleted or voided, the Purchase Order line can now be deleted as expected without running into the FK-error goblin. For Purchase Orders tied to multiple Receipts or Invoices, NorthScope will only allow the line to be deleted once all related transactions have been deleted or voided. Otherwise, it will tell you which transactions are still in the way.

In short: active Receipt references still protect the PO line, voided/deleted references no longer trap it forever, and users get an actual explanation instead of a database tantrum.
