Issues Resolved

Works Order Processing

• Fix when using the ‘Generate Works Orders from Sales Orders’ screen to get the ‘Default Finished Item Warehouse’ and ‘Default Component Warehouse’ from stock item settings.
• Fix to allow operation times to be updated when they have no duration time and the works order ‘Due Date’ gets updated.
• Fix to allow operation times to be updated when they have no duration time and the works order ‘Start Date’ gets updated.
• Added further validation when selecting how to fulfil a sub assembly when the ‘Sub Assembly Creation’ popup appears [‘Input string not in correct format’]
• Removed inspection questions from popping up when issuing a component line on a works order. Also made sure that the inspection template options are only available on the amend stock item screen for BOM items.

Material Resource Planning

• Fix when running MRP to get the correct finished item warehouse for nested sub assemblies where the reason hasn’t been generated yet but the demand warehouse has been.
• Fix to set the correct component warehouse on a works order suggestion otherwise when viewing a suggestion on FSM it would only display the ‘Out’ and not the ‘In’ as no warehouse would be set on the parent works order line.
• Fix to correctly display the finished item warehouse for MRP suggestions.
• Fix to get the correct quantity for a sub assembly works order when it is part of a phantom and there are multiple of these phantoms on a BOM.
• Fix when creating works orders from MRP and it would try to update a suggestion link to a works order that doesn’t exist and would throw an error silently so it looks like the screen had froze [‘Object Reference Error’].
• Fix the validation when selecting a direct delivery suggested PO if the sales order has ‘Use Invoice Address’ checked.

Change in Functionality

Works Orders Processing

• Improved inspection templates to be stored at multiple levels, not just at a global level. Inspections can also be recorded at a traceable item level.
  • Previously, if an inspection template created from within Sicon Works Order Processing – Maintenance – Inspections – Maintain Inspection Templates, was subsequently amended on a stock item (Sicon – Inspections tab), the stock item version would overwrite the original template within the WO Maintenance screens.
  • Now, if an inspection template is overridden on the stock item, these changes will stay with the stock item only.
    An additional inspection tab also exists on the Works Order screen, for the purposes of amending the inspection template further only at the Works Order level.
  • If using inspection templates with Batch Traceable stock items, it is possible to amend the template further on the batch if required. However, it would not be possible to use the same batch number on other works orders when using this functionality.
    All inspection results can be found in Sicon Works Order Processing – Maintenance – Inspections – View Completed Inspections.
