Issues Resolved

Works Order Processing

• Prevent users from editing quantities if their user permission do not allow them to.
• Force batch attributes to be entered when they are compulsory and default values exist when backflush from Barcoding.
• Operation Scheduler will no longer display deleted works orders.
• Also Deleting operations from the scheduler should function correctly without erroring [“Object Reference Error”]
• Null entries in SiWorksOrderStage preventing area from being selected. Prevent a row with no department from being added.
• Fix when competing works orders and it would incorrectly display ‘Unconfirmed Lines’ and therefore would not complete if the sub assembly was also to be completed. The ‘Unconfirmed Lines’ popup would also appear blank.
• Fix when viewing the ‘Works Order Cost Summary’ tab and the ‘Overhead’ values would be massively inflated.

Material Resource Planning

• Fix for the ‘Previous MRP Results’ screen not displaying as an open window in Sage.
• Fix to only include out transaction types of ‘Sales Order’ and ‘WO/BOM Issue’ out types when calculating stock item sales over lead time.
• Fix to loading the sales over lead time screen.
• Fix to not require a supplier when using the MRP stock item settings import.
• Fix to allow the user to select the top parent when completing works orders and it will also complete all sub assemblies if they can be completed.
• Updated the ‘SiconWorksOrderProjectCostsView’ so that it now includes a date to be used for reporting

Kitting

• Prevent picked kits from being unallocated.

Change in Functionality

Works Order Processing

• Added ability to issue to works order after receiving a purchase order.
  • Previously a user could allocate received stock to a Works Order. Now there is also an option to issue the stock to the works order.
• Updated the works order line import to the new import format.
  • Sicon imports are gradually being updated to a standard method across all modules, and the Import Works Order Line import has now been updated to follow this format.  The import change is to make importing simpler.  The process will prompt the user to first save the import file (so it doesn’t matter if Excel isn’t installed).  The import can be manipulated on-screen if simple mistakes need correcting.  And the import can be split between successful and unsuccessful rows.
  • Further information is available in the Works Order Processing Help and User Guide under the section WOP Menu 11. Utilities > Import Works Order Lines.

Material Resource Planning

• Added new ‘Stock Item’ and ‘Warehouse’ filters to the ‘Sales Over Lead Time’ screen.
  • The intention of these new filters are to make it easier to search for particular Sales Over Lead Time items by Warehouse or by Stock Item. Previously, users would need to scroll a potentially long list of stock items to find the entry they were looking for.
