Estimate/RO Validations for Part Qty. Zero?

[astonsunoco]

Is it possible to add a validation to prevent estimates and invoices from being created with parts quantity of zero?

Welcome to the forum and thanks for your question.

There is a validation within the Order screen; it appears when:
a) Quantity is 0 and Save or Done is clicked OR
b) anytime that item is opened afterwards for as long as the Quantity is at 0, it will nag the user:

I have never received this notice, but I am a new user, so I suppose it is limited to existing parts and not new parts.

However, I feel that this is more important to see at the time you are transferring to invoice, as that is when you are 'confirming' the parts.

That warning pops up when you are manually entering a part or whenever a part line is opened that contains a zero quantity.

If you transfer an inventory part, the default is 1. The '1' has focus and is highlighted in blue with the idea that now is the time to either accept the 1 or change to a higher value.
If you transfer a canned job or part kit, whatever quantity is specified in them is going to be entered for you.
If you transfer an Estimator part or after market catalog part it will likely be a '1' possibly a '2' for the part item

So how is it that you have this zero quantity problem?
