F.A.I.R Changes
A significant change to the way FAIRS are handled has been implemented in this version:
- FAIRs can now be associated with a customer account and / or a supplier.
- The check performed when attempting to deliver stock for an item with a FAIR (enabled
via the 'STOP_DEL_PP_CC_FAIR' control flag) has also been changed: The system will
now check that a valid FAIR exists for the sales order CUSTOMER or CUSTOMER GROUP.
To revert the behaviour to that of previous versions please change the 'FAIR_DEL_CHECK_CUST'
control setting to 'No'.
- An 'open' FAIR is (by default) no longer considered a VALID FAIR record. To revert
the behaviour to that of previous versions please change the 'FAIR_OPEN_IS_INVALID'
control setting to 'No'.
- 'Completed' FAIRs can be given a 'result code' that determines if the FAIR is
still valid or not. During the conversion all existing 'result codes' will be set
as 'valid'.

Sales Order Call-Off Status
To be more consistent with purchase orders, sales orders have been updated to include
the 'Agreed' & 'Firm Urgent' status types. The 'DELIVER_FIRM_ONLY' will consider
all 'Agreed', 'Firm Urgent' and 'Firm' type orders as valid.

|
Purchase Order Line Status
It is now possible to default the status of new lines added to purchase orders on
a global level (by using the control settings 'PO_LINE_STATUS_FORECAST_DAYS' and
'PO_LINE_STATUS_MATERIAL_DAYS'), or on a supplier-by-supplier level (by using the
new options on the 'purchase orders' tab of supplier maintenance).
|
|

|
Expedite of Purchase Orders
If the control setting 'PO_DEFAULT_BUYER' is in use then the expediter will default
to be the buyer from the supplier record, rather than the current user. It is now
possible to expedite an authorised purchase order.

|
Supplier Schedules
A new option ('P/O_SCHEDULE_USE_SUPP_PART') has been added against the 'Supplier
Schedule' line in 'Document Layouts' which, if set to 'Yes', will cause the supplier's
part number to be printed in place of the internal one.

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.

Standard Cost Breakdown
If the control setting 'STANDARD_COST_BREAKDOWN' is set to 'Yes' then the standard
cost calculated for a manufactured part will now show the 'Labour', 'Bought In',
'Raw Material', 'Subcontract' and 'Other' elements of the calculation separately.
This will only apply to calculations run after this version is installed. A new
report valuing your sales order book by standard cost has also been added (if the
above control setting is set).

|
Inspection Levels
The system now allows you to define (at supplier and part number level) what level
of inspection is required for stock received from a supplier. This can be set up
be pressing F5 on the FAIR column in the 'Stocked Parts' screen. When batches of
stock are booked in this inspection level will be written to the batch. A new screen
in the 'Supplier Quality Menu' will allow batches to be reviewed and, once the correct
documentation or inspection has been carried out, the inspection level of the batch
can be changed. Certain inspection levels will not allow the stock to be moved out
of a quarantine location and certain levels override whether or not a FAIR is required.

On Hold' Works Orders

be possible to raise a subcontract purchase order against a works order which is
'on hold'.

MRP Auto-Raise Purchase Orders
The method of actually raising the orders has been changed. The system will now
present the user with a list of applicable suppliers and allow the orders to be
raised individually, or for all suppliers at the same time.

Works Order Completion Broker
A new transaction broker type of 'FM-WOCOM' has been added which allows stock to

Stocked Parts 'Quarantine' & 'Scrap' Stock Highlight
A new facility has been added to stocked parts. If the part has ANY stock in EITHER
a 'quarantine' OR a 'scrap' location the stock fields will be highlighted in yellow
(for 'Quarantine) or pink for 'Scrap'. If stock is contained in BOTH quarantine
AND scrap locations the line will show in 'pink' as this is the more 'severe' setting.
A tooltip on the stock figure has also been added to show the user the quantities
of stock in both quarantine & scrap locations.
