• A new routine has been created that allows users to set up certain alerts. The user will then be notified on a tile that the specified event has been triggered. This can enhance customer service if a customer is awaiting information.

• Within FINANCIALS, a parameter has been added to the Bank Maintenance @Group Supplier Payments’. When this is set to Y, a single posting is made from Automatic P/L Payments to the supplier cash book for the TOTAL. When set to N, each supplier payment is posted separately.

• Within STOCK CONTROL and WAREHOUSE new function keys have been added to the Cutting Bench pick list screen to allow entry of comments against Packing/Delivery Note & Invoice in order to aid information and order status for customers who may enquire. In addition, a new filter has been added to the /PB audit screen allowing the user to define if they wish to see Incoming, Outgoing, or All transactions which is better for reporting and information search time savings

• Two new parameters have been added within the WEAVING functionality. These are 1. ‘Allow Off Loom without Warp or Weft’ and 2. ‘Allow Off Loom if job closed’. Once a weaving job (piece) has been entered, the 2 new parameters are interrogated and action taken accordingly. This is within Weaving > Weaving Controls > Maintenance >Weaving System Options. A new flag to mark ‘started’ has also been added for a weaving job. Once any piece from a specific weaving job has been inspected, run the ‘Flag in Weaving’ process to also mark the weaving job as being at gate ‘WV’

The individual kit/bundle items replace the kit product on the sales order and are picked individually. This will aid stock management

• A new parameter has been added to indicate whether the customer’s product code should print on the picking list. This may make it quicker and easier for a customer to check in the stock at their end
