Hi, Before I file the JIRA bug report, I want to check one more time about any ideas anyone might have on the particular blocker in the chain of requirements resulting in "Inventory Facility Id Required". This is currently at the root of the chain of details blocking WebPOS. In summary, I have not been able to figure out how to create an asset which is a facility producing "Inventory Facility Id". Neither asset nor facility applications seem to have a way of doing this. Does anyone have any last suggestion on something to try before filing the JIRA report?

It's up to you, but I would suggest to make it a comprehensive JIRA thataddresses all of your concerns, so maybe call it "unable to use WebPOS dueto missing data" if you like. If that proves to be too big, we can always create sub tasks. It would becool to get this thing working properly.
