Issues Resolved New Features ImportantImportant Info
ALL USERS MUST BE LOGGED OUT WHEN UPGRADING TO v22.1 FOR THE FIRST TIME. THIS IS BECAUSE WORKS ORDER FINISHED ITEM TRANSACTIONS WILL BE SWITCH TO BOM BUILD TRANSACTIONS, DUE TO HOW THE SAGE STOCK VALUATION REPORT HANDLES UNCONFIRMED TRANSACTIONS.
TRANSACTION HISTORY FOR UNCONFIRMED COSTS WHERE THE NOMINAL HAS NOT BEEN UPDATED WILL HAVE THE COST VALUE REDUCED TO 0. THIS IS TO FIX INCORRECT VALUES BEING SHOWN ON THE RETROSPECTIVE STOCK VALUATION REPORT.
New Features
Works Order Processing
Added the ability to complete ‘Empty Works Orders’ and therefore post ‘Actual’ transactions for non stock items against a project.
Within Sicon Works Order Processing, it has always been possible to create an empty Works Order (Sicon Works Order Processing – Works Orders – Create New Empty Works Order). This might be used to track stock that has been issued as part of another process (that doesn’t require building a finished item). Once all the components have been issued on an empty Works Order, the Works Order status changes to Booked and that’s how it stays…. until now!
For sites integrating Works Order Processing with Sicon Projects, this could be confusing in terms of viewing actual and estimated costs on the project. As there is no finished item to book in, there was no trigger to move the costs from estimated to actual, like there is on a standard works order, so a booked Works Order can still show committed costs:
There is a bit more to it than just moving the costs to actual, so have a look through the “Create New Empty Works Orders” section of the Works Order Processing Help & User Guide for more information on the postings that will be made, along with some recommended settings, before using this feature.
Issues Resolved
Works Order Processing
- Fix to correctly export the ‘Type’ field when exporting the works order history tab.
- Fix when viewing the ‘Works Order Expediting’ screen to exclude suggested movements when calculating the free stock. Issue where to would display not enough free stock on lines when there was enough free stock.
- Changing the Timesheet Entry Type in Project settings now updates the ‘Use hours instead of start and end time in timesheets’ tick box in WOP settings.
Kitting
- Fix to use the kit reference for batch numbers when the stock item is set to use ‘Order and Sequence’
