? Release Notes For Version 10.22

? Audit Trail

The audit trail will now be turned on for all sites, regardless of whether it was previously disabled. If you have a need to disable the audit trail please contact support.

? GRAPH_OPTIONS

The GRAPH_OPTIONS control flag has now been removed. All graphing options will now use the Microsoft Office Web Components graph method.

? T&G_CAL_COMM_GENERAL

This control flag has now replaced CAL_COMM_GENERAL. The existing setting will have been copied to the new control flag.

? Customer Address Codes

Customer address code maintenance screen has been updated with the addition of a QuickBar and 3 user definable fields.

These user definable fields are available as new ranges on the 'Delivery Report'.

? Sales Order Prices / Contract Review

The following user access codes have been added to ensure that sales prices can only be obtained by users with sufficient rights:

'Sales Prices Get From Quote': Allows users to obtain sales prices from a quote.

'Sales Prices Get From Price List': Allows users to obtain sales prices from a price list

'Sales Prices Use Manual': Allows users to add, edit & delete manual sales price records.

? Requests For Quotation

RFQ's are now controlled by their own user access code ('RFQ').
? Supplier Prices

When a user changes a supplier's price record the system will now check for any outstanding purchase order lines for that item, and give the user the option of updating them to match the new pricing structure.

? Assembly Screen Sort Order

The Assembly screen can now be sorted by either 'Lop / # Code & Component' or by 'Component'.

The sort order options are available by pressing 'Ctrl+S' on the assembly screen.

? LOP/# Code on Works Orders

The inclusion of LOP/# codes on works order components can now be turned off with the control flag LOP_CODE_ON_COMPONENTS.

Please note that when turned off each component can only appear on a works order once.

? Works Order Components

The works order components screen has been updated to show a 'N' next to any component which has associated notes.

? Stocktake

The standard stocktake now has an option to include parts which have zero stock. For each part with no stock a record will be created against the default location for that part. If no default location is specified for the part then the location in the control flag 'DEFAULT_LOCATION' will be used. The control flag 'STKTAKE_NO_STOCK_LOCATION' determines if a part's RECEIPT or ISSUE location should be used.

Parts with no stock are included in the stocktake report, but are NOT included in the stocktake value reports.

? Standard Costing

Standard costing will now by default NOT include 'Discontinued' or 'Redundant' parts or materials in the calculation process (although they can still be manually entered on the part record). An option on the System Maintenance menu allows them to be included in the calculation, and the same option also allows 'On Hold' and 'In Development' parts to be excluded.

Any parts/materials whose status is NOT included in the standard cost calculations will not have a standard cost calculated, but additionally any standard cost it already has will not be available for use as a component cost for parts that use it in their BOM/Assembly. In this case the part that uses it will show an error to indicate that the component cost is not available.

The 'Standard Cost vs Batch Cost Report' has been renamed 'Standard Cost vs Supplier Price Report' for clarity. The functionality of the report has not changed.

? Standard Operations

The control flag 'STAND_OP_OVERWRITE_TIMES' now determines whether applying a standard operation will overwrite existing set/op times or not.

? Authorised Hours Report

The Authorised hours report has been updated with the ability to range on 'authorised' status, allowing the report to show 'all' records, only 'authorised' records or only 'unauthorised' records.

? Holiday / Absence Chart

A new holiday / absence chart has been added to the 'Time & Attendance Menu'. This gives a summary view of all employees who have booked holidays and/or other full-shift absences on each day in a calendar month. You can zoom on each day to view more details, and to book or cancel holidays.

? CRM Maintenance

Documents and emails can now be raised for supplier and prospect contacts, as well as customers.

A new tab has been added to the CRM Maintenance screen to show the contents of a customer / supplier / prospect's document folder. Documents raised from the CRM screen, and any RTF Quote letters raised for the customer or prospect will automatically be saved into this folder, and you can add additional files via Windows Explorer. In this way, files can automatically be associated with the customer / supplier / prospect without having to explicitly attach them to the record.

Please note that CRM Maintenance is only visible to customers who have purchased the CRM module of FactoryMaster.

? Customer Satisfaction

The Customer satisfaction facility has been updated to allow a sort order of 'Log Category'. This facility has also been added to the report, along with a 'Log Category' range and an export facility.
