WD 2401 Changed dbconvrt to follow the same logic as described above with the Tare Code
 WD 2404 Changed the handling of the tare weight and decimal quantity:

  •  If the item is being added or the department is being changed and the Dept Override flag in the SIL file is Y, the department flags from the department table will be applied and then overlay those in the SIL file.   If the Dept Override is explicitly sent as a N, we will refresh the itemizers from the department table.   If the Dept Override is explicitly sent as a Y, we will set the additional flags as sent in the SIL file.
  • If the Dept Override flag is omitted, we will accept any additional flags that are sent in the SIL file and the Dept Override will be set to Y on the item.
