Release Notes For Version 10.38
|
|
Scheduling
|
The new SQL scheduling routines are live from this version and have replaced the
old version. If you have already used these routines in their BETA form then all
your existing schedule runs will be available.
|
|
New Installations of FactoryMaster
|
The Raw Material Categories, Forms & Specifications are no longer populated with
default data during a new installation of FactoryMaster as the data is not suitable
for all industries. If the default data is still required it can be added to the
system after installation via an option on the System Maintenance menu.
|
|
Document Number Synchronisation
|
The 'INVOICE_AS_DELIVERY' control setting has been converted to 'DOC_NUMBER_SYNC'.
This new setting also includes the ability to keep release note numbers in sync
with delivery notes & invoices.
|
|
Stage Payment Invoices
|
It is now possible to cancel stage payment invoices provided there is not a later
stage which has already been invoiced, and provided that it is not the final stage.
|
|
Customer After Sales
|
It is now possible to raise a 'Reject' type record off the back of a 'Complaint'
type record. The new record will inherit the selected delivery note item, together
with any codes, customer references and comments. The user will be asked to specify
if the stock is to be returned and if the requirement is to be added back onto the
sales order.
|
|
Purchase Order Maintenance (Detail View)
|
The 'Purchase Order Maintenance' detail view screen has been updated with two additional
'changeable' columns.
|
|
Purchase Invoice Matching
|
If an item on a purchase invoice is matched at a higher or lower value to that specified
on the purchase order the user will now be asked if a credit note (if the matched
value is higher) or further invoice (if matched at a lower value) is expected from
the supplier. If so, an adjustment record will be generated for the balance which
can later be matched against a subsequent invoice (or credit note). Additionally,
these adjustments can be 'split', meaning that multiple invoices can be processed
for a single receipt. The cost of any adjustments raised will only be reflected
in stock values and job costing analysis once the original receipt is posted to
an invoice.
|
|
Issue Number of Stock Receipts
|
If the control setting 'RECIEPT_ALLOW_ISSUE_OVERRIDE' is set to 'Yes' then the system
will allow the issue number to be changed when receiving goods from a purchase order
or works order.
|
|
UPDATE_STANDARD_COST Control Setting
|
The option to automatically update the standard cost of a stocked part when its
preferred supplier price changes will no longer affect parts with a 'usual source'
of 'MA' (as these do not get their standard cost from purchase prices).
|
|
Pallet 'TiHi' Calculations
|
It is now possible to calculate the 'Pallet Quantity' of a stocked part by entering
the 'Pack Quantity', 'Number per Tier' (Ti) and 'Tiers High' (Hi) values. To enable
this feature set the control setting 'PALLET_TI_HI' to 'Yes'.
|
|
Works Order Completion Transaction Broker
|
The 'WOCOM_ALLOW_OVERBOOK' control flag has been added to allow users to specify
if the works order completion facility via the transaction broker will allow over-bookings
of stock.
|
|
MRP
|
The MRP routine now uses the shipping date (rather than the customer requirement
date) of a sales order call-off in its calculations.
|
|
NCR Works Order Default 'On Hold' Code
|
A facility has been added to automatically set a works order 'on hold' (with a specified
'on hold' code) whenever an associated internal reject, concession or supplier reject
record is created.
|
|
Concession and Production Permit Result Code
|
It is now possible to specify if a 'result' code (used on 'closed' concession and
production permit records) indicates if the record is still valid / active.
|
|
Internal Rejects
|
Concessions can now be raised and viewed directly from an internal reject record.
|
|
NCR Message Improvement
|
The user message sent when an NCR is created has been improved to include more information.
This option is enabled via the 'NCR_NOTIFY_OPTIONS' control flag
