0358.00 -----------------------------------------------------------------------
0359.00 New function in this release
0360.00 -----------------------------------------------------------------------
0361.00
0362.00 01) Automated Add Days - This new capability provides the user a way
0363.00 to pre-enter 'add days' values, that are associated with Begin and
0364.00 End dates. The 'add days' values provide an easy method to increase
0365.00 the Order Point for products. The entries can be developed by
0366.00 location, supplier or product. Tools in the program make it easy
0367.00 to generate multiple records with just a few key strokes.
0368.00 With this new program the user can generate a 'build up' level
0369.00 of inventory, which could be used for price increase speculation,
0370.00 or seasonal build ups, just to name a few purposes.
0371.00
0372.00 02) Variable Order Cycle - For suppliers that must be ordered multiple
0373.00 times per week, you can now specify an Order Cycle to be used
0374.00 for each day of the week. Future improvements are going to allow
0375.00 different Order Cycles to be specified by week, period, or month,
0376.00 to simulate seasonal Order Cycles.
0377.00
0378.00 03) Required split code and type - You can now specify that a supplier
0379.00 suggested order MUST be split before approval. In the supplier
0380.00 record you designate the supplier with a Required Split flag, and
0381.00 then specify the Type of split to be performed. When the buyer
0382.00 goes to F5=Approve the order, the system automatically checks
0383.00 to see if a split needs to take place, and if so, automatically
0384.00 brings up the correct WINDOW for the split.
0385.00
0386.00 04) Exclude Buying Until on '3 of 5' in Product Maintenance, now
0387.00 has ability to operate differently between Auto Parts customers,
0388.00 and the other K3S customers. The 'Exclude Buying Until' field
0389.00 was originally developed as part of the 'Delay Days' technique
0390.00 which is specific to the Auto Parts industry. In this mode,
0391.00 products were NOT being delayed when a customer back order
0392.00 existed, even if an 'Exclude Buying Until' date existed in
0393.00 the future. A new switch (APP record) allows all K3S customers
0394.00 to take advantage of the 'Exclude Buying Until' date field,
0395.00 and not look to the customer back order field to make any
0396.00 decision of use.
0397.00
0398.00 05) Night job will clear the busy switch flags for Selected Products
