Warning messages when set up for subcontracting not complete
Subcontracted routing operations need to be completed. One can do this manually but much more convenient is to use the parameter in prod control or subcontract PO's. Upon receiving of such a PO, the subcon operation can be completed using a special route group. This set up is pretty subtle and...
DO not allow same resource in multiple assets
New Asset management module. An asset is a resource in manufacturing. The system allows you to put the same resource in multiple assets. That should not be allowed. One resource can only be connected to one asset. please change this so the system warns you when you make the mistake of linking th...
In Capacity load graph, give different color to project activities
New module Asset management: when I have maintenance work orders and regular work orders in the same time period on a resource, the graphical capacity load summarizes the two hour types into the same color. This is very unexpected. In 2012 I thought that project activities showed as a differnent ...
Improve the unpick process for prod orders
When you unpick items on a Production order, the functionality is insufficient and not quite thought through. it asks you no question. After the unpick the item is located in the INPUT location of the Resource group. This means it is not truly available for a next pick. When the user is ready ...
Make the posting error message more specific
When an item group has missing GL accounts, we get an error message. But when the item group is fine but there is something missing in the GL structures, we get exactly the same error message. This is not good news for the user. The user is not getting the right message. Posting errors should men...

Constraint based configurator model is linked to a product master in the version screen. This version , just like a BOM version, has a from.. to date. The defaults popping into the TO date is rather meaningless. "TODAY". So if the user does not pay attention to the dates, his configurator model w...
Don't limit rescheduling of production orders
With the arrival of Advanced warehousing there is "picking work" for a production order. We found that open picking work stops the rescheduling of the prod order. we do not understand why this is good functionality. It creates a lot of problems for those companies that do not pick all Prod BOM...
Purchase Agreement lines screen needed
Purchase agreements are really hard to work with in real life because so many things are missing. Here is one idea that is easy to execute and will make it a lot better: we need a screen that shows all Purchase agreement lines so I can find out which items are in an agreement. There is no way to ...
Unit Sequence group id needs to be on the Create Released product screen
We really need the unit sequence group id to be on the Item creation screen! When I choose an advanced warehousing storage dim group, the "reservation hierarchy" appears on that create screen but no unit seq group! The unit seq group id should also appear. This should have been done years ago. ...
