                                                I have an issue where if I copy a cart from another par
                                                location to another(IC81.1), I have mixed results. The
                                                copy seems to work fine; everything seems to be listed
                                                properly after the copy. However, my orders do not
                                                transmit properly for the cart I copied the information
                                                to after I make the change. It works fine if I manually
                                                enter in each item and my current workaround is to copy
                                                from one cart and then go back into IC81.1 and "press
                                                change items w/o making adjustments" on each item. Am I
                                                missing something? Do I need to do something different
                                                other than just entering a copy from location in the
                                                appropriate field? Any help would be appreciated. Read
