Mass Component Maintenance Enhancement
The Mass Component Maintenance utility has been enhanced with the ability to replace reportable components when performing a component replacement.
Company Specific User Class Security
Previously in User Setup, a single User Class assignment was available and applied to all companies for which the user was granted access.
The User Class can now be assigned at the Company level. A User Class ID column has been added to the User Company Access grid. The User Class selection is still available at the User level and will serve as the default selection.
BOM Backflush Override Option
Previously, backflushing of Bill of Materials items was set at the facility level. Users now have the option to specify whether specific BOM items are backflushed.
Component Stocking UOM Change Utility
Previously, once posted transaction history existed for a component it was not possible for the user to change the stocking unit of measure through the user interface. With the introduction of the Component Stocking UOM Change utility, the user is now able to change the stocking unit of measure. The utility will update:
- The component stocking unit of measure
- The stocking unit of measure for any Formula Mix/Fill Procedures and Component BOMs
- The required stocking unit of measure quantity for any Formula Mix/Fill Procedures and Component BOMs, according to the selected options
- The existing Alternate Unit conversions
Enhanced Copy/Paste Functionality
Batch Entry Lot Selection
The Lot Selection dialogue window in Batch Entry has been enhanced with a Copy Lot # button. This button will copy the lot number of the selected assigned lot to the Windows clipboard. The user can then right-click and select <Paste> or press <Ctrl>+<V> to past the lot number into another application or into the Batch Entry End Item Lot Number field.
VicinityView Results Grid
The results grid in VicinityView has been enhanced to allow the user to copy and paste cell values by selecting a single or multiple cells and invoking a right-click copy menu or pressing <Ctrl> + <C> to copy the selected cell(s) and paste the values into another application (e.g., NotePad, Word, Excel, etc.).
Component/Formula ID Change
Previously, if a user found the need to change the Component ID or Formula ID of existing records, it was not possible to make the needed change through the user interface. With the introduction of the Component/Formula ID Change utility (Utilities >> Component/Formula ID Change), the user is now able to change the Component ID or Formula ID, as applicable.
