Release 4.29
Automated Add Days - This new capability provides the user a way to pre-enter ‘add days’ values, that are associated with Begin and End dates. The ‘add days’ values provide an easy method to increase the Order Point for products. The entries can be developed by location, supplier or product. Tools in the program make it easy to generate multiple records with just a few key strokes. With this new program the user can generate a ‘build up’ level of inventory, which could be used for price increase speculation, or seasonal build ups, just to name a few purposes.
Variable Order Cycle - For suppliers that must be ordered multiple times per week, you can now specify an Order Cycle to be used for each day of the week. Future improvements are going to allow different Order Cycles to be specified by week, period, or month, to simulate seasonal Order Cycles. Required split code and type – You can now specify that a supplier suggested order MUST be split before approval. In the supplier record you designate the supplier with a Required Split flag, and then specify the Type of split to be performed. When the buyer goes to F5=Approve the order, the system automatically checks to see if a split needs to take place, and if so, automatically brings up the correct WINDOW for the split.
Exclude Buying Until on ‘3 of 5’ in Product Maintenance, now has the ability to operate differently between Auto Parts customers, and the other K3S customers. - The ‘Exclude Buying Until’ field was originally developed as part of the ‘Delay Days’ technique which is specific to the Auto Parts industry. In this mode, products were NOT being delayed when a customer back order existed, even if an ‘Exclude Buying Until’ date existed in the future. A new switch (APP record) allows all K3S customers to take advantage of the ‘Exclude Buying Until’ date field, and not look to the customer back order field to make any decision of use.
Night job will clear the busy switch flags for Selected Products Review. - At times a user would be working a batch and for various reasons get disconnected from the system. When the user tries to get back into the batch, a message would appear that reads ‘This batch is currently being processed’. The use of option ‘U’ would Unlock the batch, if this batch belongs to the User. The night job will now perform the same Unlock function for any batches that still show they are busy, so the next day the user can go back into the batch and finish processing the products. Ranking Reports now have the ability to generate .CSV (comma separated values) files so that you can pull the information into an Excel spreadsheet.
