? Release Notes For Version 10.35

Delivery Item Source

The 'source' of an item (eg the delivery plan or picklist number) can now be shown against delivery note items by changing the control setting 'SHOW_DEL_ITEM_SOURCE' to 'Yes'. Please note that this change will only affect NEW delivery notes produced AFTER the control flag is enabled and will NOT update any delivery notes produced prior to this.

Printing Sales Invoices

The screen shown when printing sales invoices has been changed to include additional options. Previously, a user could either print or create a PDF file or email the invoice. It is now possible for ALL the options to be ticked at the same time (if required).

Stage Payment Invoices

It is now possible to raise a range of stage payment invoices at a time - for example to raise everything due up until the end of the current week. After they have been produced the system will show the list of invoices which have been raised with options to view/print them.

Subcontract Serial Numbers

A new control setting ('SUBCON_SPECIFY_S/N') has been added which, if set, will allow serial numbers to be specified when sending a subcontract purchase order out to a supplier. These will be taken from the serial numbers pre-allocated to the works order in question.

Part Creation Notification

A new option in the 'System Maintenance Menu' allows a system message to be sent to selected users whenever a new stocked part is created.

Change Stock Issue Number

A facility has been added which will allow users to change the issue number of an existing batch of stock. This will also update any related documents such as delivery notes and invoices.

Update Training Course on Routes / Works Orders

When a training course is altered on a resource users will now be given the option to update any active manufacturing routes & works orders to include the new training course code.

Works Order Folder

Works order enquiry has been updated to include a 'folder' button which will allow users to associate system documents (Excel, Word, pdf etc) to a works order.

MRP Autoraise Changes

The method in which the system groups requirements when suggesting the works order and purchase order to be created has changed. Previously, requirements would be grouped according to the time period of the MRP itself - so a weekly MRP would generate weekly requirements, and a monthly MRP would generate monthly requirements. The grouping period can now be chosen at the time of generating the orders and, in the case of purchase orders, can be defined per supplier. If required, orders can now be suggested way into the future - beyond the final column of the MRP.

The way in which overdue orders are suggested has also changed. Where previously these would have been grouped into one single requirement, the system now will generate multiple requirements according the grouping periods selected. The screen displaying the suggested orders has also been changed to show further information relating to how the suggested quantities were calculated.

Drag & Drop Schedule BETA

The following items have been added to the drag & drop schedule:

- Option to change the current 'W/O | Operation' view to show the items' part number instead.
- Part number has been added to the item information window.
- Hotkeys will now work correctly from the schedule. Now if a user hotkeys when selecting a schedule item it should reference the part number / works order.
- Users can now double click on a resource header and it will show the information of that resource.
- A 'hour / minute' view has been added which allows users to view and manipulate the schedule on a minute-by-minute basis.

Please note that users will need to re-run client setup on EACH machine that needs to use this facility.

Time Sheet Import

A new import has been added to allow time sheet information to be imported. The import process is also available via the transaction broker mechanism.

Customers Own Part Numbers Import

A new import has been added to allow customers own part numbers to be imported. The import process is also available via the transaction broker mechanism.

Sales Order Import: Select All

The sales order import has been updated to allow the user to automatically select all of the valid items of the import. This facility is enabled by enabling the 'SO_IMPORT_SELECT_ALL' control flag.
