Release 5.05
1) The K3S_1010 Orders – Supplier Summary screen now contains an area labeled “Your Space” where a customer can include information to be displayed which is relevant to a specific suggested order.
2) The weekly update for product Service Level Target settings has been improved to ensure all products get included in their highest level. Previously a product could span through two levels, and would get the lower level setting.
3) The “Obsolete Products Report” now includes a switch to specify excluding the “To Product” in a product linking scenario. Only the “From Product” should be included in the report.
4) Buyers can now “cut and paste” information from their PCs documents, email information, etc. directly into the Note line in K3S. The K3S logic will automatically screen the information for unusual special characters, and strip them out.
5) Customers can now decide to exclude the quantity on order value from the balance calculation when determining overstock quantities.
6) Supplier Discount Unit 6 (labeled “Other”) can now be populated from the customer’s ERP system. The buyer is also provided an over-ride capability, similar to controlling product weight and volume values.
7) Supplier Discount Units 7,8,9 are now supported in this release. Many customers plan to use Unit 7 for COF and CAW values.
8) The Product Interface Log now includes 4 new log types of:
d Negative Unit 6 bracket value
e Negative Unit 7 bracket value
f Negative Unit 8 bracket value
g Negative Unit 9 bracket value
9) For customers who use the Bracket Level pricing facility, the K3S logic now looks for any possible “off invoice” deals that could also be in effect, and includes that in developing the actual cost for the PO.
10) The Bracket Level file now includes an interface facility from the customer’s ERP system.
11) The Product Hold Out file now includes an interface facility from the customer’s ERP system.
12) Customers who have very long Product IDs were not able to see enough of the product description. Now they can choose an option to print more product description, instead of printing the 3 fields of Supplier sub code, System Status, and User Status.
13) A new capability for specifying service level targets by Supplier/Product Groups was developed. It is being used in the Store Level Replenishment area.
14) The “Car Count” logic in K3S now includes an interface from the customer’s ERP system to specify which products should use the “Car Count” logic.
15) When buyers press the F24=Function key from “K3S_1020 Orders – Supplier Summary” they will see the 24 possible function keys and the related description as before. What has been added are the specific program IDs that will appear to the right of the description, and will help new buyers follow the navigation more easily.
16) For customers who use the “Count days out of stock” logic to determine total demand, they can now flag certain products to be excluded from this logic.
17) This is the first GUI (graphical user interface) enabled release for customers who want to utilize the K3S web enabled version.
