Deacom 16.03 Release Notes

Please reference the DEACOM suggested update path prior to installing DEACOM updates.

Accounting

Payment Type User Defined Fields - User Defined Fields can now be added to Payment Types.

QC Test Default Value - Optional Flag which sets the default QC Test value in a QC Test setup which will populate by default. Useful if you have many simple/optional QC Tests to lessen the burden of entry.
Item Master Summary - Copy part form has 'Copy BOM Workflow' checkbox that allows the user to not copy over BOM workflows.

Purchase Order Quantity for Items with no Suggestions - If creating a purchaser order in MRP for an item with no suggestion, the system will check the "PO Quantity" field on any Vendor Part, then any Facility Part, and finally the Item Master when determining the default purchase order quantity. Note: the value in the field must be greater than 0.

Actual Labor Calculation - When using the "Labor Cost Expression" via Accounting > Options, to calculate labor, the labor cost will be stored in the "Actual Labor Cost" (j4_labcost) field in the "Job Completions" (dtjob4) table. Actual labor may be viewed on the Job Cost Detail report via Production > Job Reporting.

Substitute All Option Added For Custom BOM and Co-Products - A new field, "Substitute All", has been added to the Edit Part from in the Issue/Reserve transaction. If this field is checked, the system will allow users to substitute a part if found on any other job line BOMs, including co-products. This field is only enabled when the "Substitute Part" field on this form contains an entry. Supports the ability to utilize a larger set of substitute items, particularly in co-production scenarios. When this box is checked, the system checks all item requirements, for all lines on the job, and insert records in the Custom BOM form for any instances where a part in being substituted.

Pricing Order Sort - The "Pricing Order Sort" field, available in Purchasing > Options, defines how pricing orders will be selected when multiple pricing orders are in effect for items entered on Purchase Orders. Options are Lowest Price and First Effective.
Vendors - New fields have been added to the Edit Vendor form in order to place invoice, payment, and/or vendor on 'Hold' status, along with functional and security checks.
Re-Calc Purchase Order Prices on Receipt - A new Purchasing Option, "Re-Calc Purchase Order Prices on Receipt", has been added. If checked, the system will reevaluate all valid pricing orders and, if applicable, will apply any pricing changes for items on purchase orders after purchase order receipt. This option is useful in situations where pricing orders are modified frequently and Purchase Orders have already been entered in DEACOM. Vendors may price items based on a different purchase order date, such as ordered date, pick up date, or received date. If this box is checked, then modification to Pricing Orders can still be applied after applicable purchase orders have been entered but before items/lots are received into inventory. When operating in FIFO cost mode, the lots received will reflect updated prices.

Pricing Orders - Bill-To Customers - Restricted Selling Groups set on Ship-To customer records are no longer applied when creating sales orders with an order type of "Pricing Order - Bill-To" or "Pricing Order - Billing Group." This was added to support situations where Bill-To customer records contain multiple Ship-To customers, each with different Restricted Selling Groups, but all Ship-To customers receive the same pricing. Restricted Selling Groups set on Bill-To customers will still be applied when creating pricing orders.
Forecasts - Import - Forecasts can now be imported via one or more Excel spreadsheets, for customers that may create their own internal forecasts or acquire forecasts from a third party company. The import function can be accessed via Sales > Forecasts, then selecting "Import" on the Edit Forecast form.

Trigger Attachments - A new tab, "Attachments," has been added to the Edit Trigger form via System > Maintenance > Triggers. The new tab allows customers to attach and send Grid Layouts, as MS Excel files, or Report Layouts, as PDF files, when using email Triggers. The new tab can also be used to place Grid Layouts or Report Layouts in the path specified in the "Destination" field on the form when using an "Output" type of "EDI." Additional information is available via the link in the first sentence.
