Deacom 17.02 Release Notes

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

Accounting

  • NET1 Credit Card Processor - A new option for credit card processing, NET1, has been added to Credit Card Processors. When using this option, note that use of credit cards when ordering Sales Orders or in Cash Receipts will open a new window to input payment information. The Net1 Credit Card Processor can also be used for Payments on Account. When applying payments on account and using a Net 1 processor and Payment Type using credit cards, the system will display the Net1 Payment window.
  • Journal Entry Approval - Two new field, "Approved By", and "Approved", have been added to the Journal Entry form to indicate the user that approved the entry and the date of approval.
  • Currency Decimals - The "&go.FCMask" mask should now be used in the "Rate" field on the Currency History Report and Edit Currency History form. As a result of this change, the decimals in this field are controlled by the "Currency Decimals" field in Accounting > Options.
  • Work Flows for Journal Entries - A new option, "Journal Entries", has been added to the Type field via Tools > Maintenance > Work Flows. The feature applies to regular and temp journal entries.
  • Journal Entry Reporting and Approve/Un-Approve Temp Journal Entries - A new menu option, "Journal Entry Reporting", has been added, along with functionality to Approve and Un-Approve temporary journal entries.
  • Record Locking - Temporary Journal Entries - A new security feature has been implemented to enhance the integrity of temporary journal entries. Users are now prevented from approving a temporary journal entry while it is being modified by another user. This change introduces record locks that function similarly to those used for other records ensuring that if a user attempts to approve an entry that is currently being edited they will receive a prompt indicating that the record is locked. Users with the appropriate permissions can override this lock allowing them to approve the entry while notifying the original editor that their changes have been lost. This update aims to streamline the approval process while maintaining data accuracy.
  • Posting Approved/Un-Approved Temporary Journal Entries - Two new security options: "Accounting -- post un-approved temp entries" and "Accounting -- post approved temp entries" have been added.
  • Financial Statement Design - New Line Defaults - The "Balance Type" field, on the Edit Statement Line form will now default to "Change in Balance" when adding lines to a statement design that has the "Statement Type" set to "Income Statement".
  • Credit Override User Prompts - A new field, "Prompt For Credit Override User", has been added to theAccounts Receivable tab in Accounting > Options. The field controls how users will be prompted when clicking the "Accept Order" button during sales order credit checking and the customer has exceeded their credit limit, but still are under their never exceed limit.
  • COGS Labor, Burden, and Material Amounts For Lots Shipped - The cogsburden, cogslabor, and cogsmat variables, which represent the value that was booked for these three accounts, are now available to the grid for the "Lots Shipped" report via Sales > Order Reporting.
  • Opt Out of Printing Documents during Sales Invoicing - The "Post One" and "Post All" buttons have been added to the Print Invoices form via Print Outs > Invoice. These buttons can be used to invoice the selected orders or all displayed orders but not have documents printed or emailed. Useful when invoicing DSD or EDI orders that do not require an actual document.
  • Unrealized Gain/Loss Currency Posting Changes - Enhanced the logic when posting to un-realized gain/loss accounts. There is now a hierarchy for which gain/loss accounts to use: First, check the one on the cash account, if empty, check the on foreign currency, then finally the one defined in Accounting Options.
  • Actual Lot Costs in Standard Cost Mode - The "actmatcost" and "actunitcost" variables have been added to the following reports to help companies track actual costs per lot even when running in Standard Cost Mode:
    • Sales > Order Reporting > Lots Shipped
    • Inventory > Inventory Reporting > Lots
    • Inventory > Inventory Reporting > Lot Summary/User Lot
    • Inventory > Inventory Reporting > Lot Summary/System Lot
    • Inventory > Inventory Reporting > Lot Summary/Attributes

DSD

  • 'Sign For Order' button relocated - The check for a DSD signature requirement has moved from the ship button on the order form to the ship button on the routeacctshipped3. This allows the user to show the customer their ordered and shipped quantities prior to signing.
  • Syncing Sales Order Dates and Date Calcs - Sales order date calcs are processed and synced to sales orders in DSD. If the DSD is not online, the system will track if there are any sales dates and/or sales date calcs so that these may be synced when the device is back online.
  • Added the ability to allow Change Reasons on Sales Orders to determine if the "Do Not Post Inventory" flag is checked - Implemented in Main App Sales Order Entry, DSD, and EDI Imports. The ability to define if this checkbox would be automatically checked per Change Reason would ensure that inventory is not brought back into Deacom erroneously.
  • Sales Order Calculations for DSD - Sales order calculations are now enabled in DSD. The calcs will fire, and store against the orders the same as in main application. Calculations will also add parts to orders when saved the same as in the main application. This occurs when the device is online. If the device is not online, the system will track what calculations need to be fired, and fire/sync them when the device is back online.
  • Ability to Change Due to Ship Date and Filter Orders by "Not Shipped Due Today" - A new security, "DSD -- Change Due Date" has been added. If set to yes, the Due To Ship date in the DSD application will be enabled and the user will be able to edit the date. The new Due To Ship date will be synced back to the main application when the order is saved, or at the end of the route if the DSD app is not connected during the initial order save. In addition, the previous 'Not Shipped' filter on the main screen has been changed to 'Not Shipped Due Today'. This will filter on orders not shipped, and due to ship today. Another filter, 'Not Shipped All' has been added. This will show all non-shipped orders regardless of due date.

Document Reporting and Control

  • Document Control - Deacom now contains a document control option that allows only one user to download and edit a controlled document at a time, ensuring users are opening the most recent published version of the document. The system will also record the document history including users that have modified or simply viewed the document.

EDI

  • Ship As Reserved a Sales Order via EDI - Inventory already reserved to an order can be used when shipping sales orders via EDI. To accomplish this, a parsing rule for both to_ordnum and to_shipped must be created on the EDI Import routine.
  • Reserve Inventory to a Sales Order via EDI - Inventory can be reserved to a sales order via EDI, even if the order is not being immediately shipped. Additional information and required parameters are available via the "Order Type" field description on the EDI Imports page.
  • Invoice a Shipped Sales Order via EDI - Sales orders that have already been shipped can be invoiced via EDI. To accomplish this, a parsing rule for both to_ordnum and to_invdate must be created on the EDI Import routine.
  • Ship and Invoice a Sales Order in the Same EDI Profile - Shipped (to_shipped) and Invoiced (to_invdate) rules can exist in the same EDI profile (map). If the shipment action results in a failure for any reason, the system will not attempt to invoice. (Note: The existing functionality where these actions can exist in separate profiles (maps) is still retained.)
  • Min Saleable and Incremental SO Qty Checks and Prompts for EDI Orders - EDI orders with quantities that do not meet the Min Saleable and Incremental SO Qty values will still be imported as before, but when the order is manually updated (i.e. - when switching the Order Type from Internet Sale to Sales Order) the system will now check these values and users will be prompted appropriately. These checks do not apply to negative ordered quantities in order to support product returns. These same checks/prompts will be in effect for customer part Min Saleable and Incremental SO Qty fields.
  • NET1 Payments Applied in EDI - NET1 payments can now be applied to sales orders via EDI. See the Configuring Inbound EDI Transactions page for more information.
  • Customer User Defined Fields Added - The "Field" field on the Edit Parsing Rule form will now list all active Bill-To and Ship-To UDFs and can be used when importing EDI using the Lookup or Create options.

Inventory

  • Issue to master lots immediately upon de-issuing - from both Main App and WMS. Master lots can either be newly created and used or an existing one can be selected.
  • Inventory Status can be set on the first item to be issued to a new master lot - Added a new check to prevent the Inventory Status field from disabling. If there is no master lot selected and no prior item has already selected lots then the inventory status field is left enabled. This gives users the ability to issue lots not in inventory status to new master lots.
  • Master Production and Dock Calendars - The 'Name' field located on the Edit Availability Exception form gives users the ability to add a description to an Availability Exception noting why something is unavailable, which will display on any calendar.
  • Facilities-Level IC Transfer Expression and Cost Retention - Two new options have been added to Facilities in order to make Inter-Company Transfers more seamless. "Transfer Cost Expression" allows the user to set the lot cost for the transfer at the Facility level, now taking priority over the other two levels at Sales Options and Item Master. "Retain Lot Costs on IC Xfer" allows the user to receive lots at the current cost with no markup on the posting when performing Inter-company Transfers.
  • Facilities - Added option to allow Transfer markup expenses to hit the gl overrides related to the receiving facility rather than the shipping facility.
  • From Inventory Multiple Records - When using the From Inventory form, the user may now include multiple records of the same "Type". Note that each record must be using a different From Inventory part.
  • Pre-Stage Inventory Quantities without Splitting by Job/Sales Order Requirements - A new option. "Staging-General", has been added to the Type field in the main application and WMS pre-staging transactions. In this scenario, the splitting/assigning of material lots by sales orders/jobs will happen in the Final Staging process. The option was added to allow the scanning and moving of material in a lot and location at one time for ease and efficiency.
  • Move a master lot from one inventory type to another type - This feature is new in Main App. This adds additional security setting checks and the enabling/disabling of certain fields on the WMS Move Inventory form when a master lot is selected.
  • Backflushing Catch Weight Items - A new field, "Relieve by Catch Weight", has been added to the Edit BOM line form. If checked, and finishing items that are marked as catch weight and backflushed, the system will back flush all BOM items with this flag checked based on the weight of the catch weight finished (as specified on the Edit Catch Weight form) rather than the quantity specified on the BOM.
  • Count By Master Lot checkbox- Added ability to charge/count by master lot using From Inventory button for Sales Orders.
  • Issue Increment Expression - A new field "Issue Inc Type", has been added to the Issuing tab on the Edit BOM Line form. This field contains two options, Fixed (default) and Expression. The Expression option provides more flexibility and the option to have the issue increment based on variable factors, for example which Work Center is used, instead of a hardcoded value. In addition, the old "Issue Increment" field caption will be changed depending on the selection made in the "Issue Inc Type" field. It displays as "Issue Increment" when selecting an "Issue Inc Type" of "Fixed" and "Increment Expression" when selecting an "Issue Inc Type" of "Expression"
  • Copy Part - Check All and Un-Check All - Two new buttons, "Check All" and "Un-check All" have been added to Copy Part form via Inventory > Item Master.
  • Item Master and Customer Part User-Defined Fields - All Item master (dmprod) and customer part (dmcust) User Defined Fields are now available to the Customer Parts (custpart) and Bill-To / Ship-To Parts (billadd2) grid.
  • Substitute Parts During Final Staging - The system has been enhanced to allow part substitutions for production jobs and sales order during final staging, both in the main application and WMS. Please see the Final Staging and Final Staging - WMS pages for additional information.
  • Facility Cost Currency - The currency of the associated costs on the Item Master > Facility Cost report is now available to the report grid.
  • Final Staging Iterations with Master Lots - The system was modified when using staging iterations with Master Lots. When final staging a job and scanning lots from a master lot individually (by scanning a lot label instead of of the master lot label), the system will keep the master lot intact if the user is staging the master lot lots to the same location the master lot is already in.
  • View Staged Button Added To Various Forms - The "View Staged" button has been added to the Final Staging, Issue/Reserve. View Job, and Job Close/Relieve form.
  • BOM Changes and Issues/Stage Inventory - When modifying and saving a BOM revision, and clicking yes to the "There are open jobs for this revision, would you like to update the non-finished job to use this new revision?" prompt, the system will now exclude jobs with any issued materials or any direct staged materials.
  • BOM shelf life functionality - This new functionality is used to limit what materials can go into production: Shelf days and % of Shelf Life rules are used to control when ingredients become unavailable for use in the production process at the formula line level.
    • Backflushing: When backflushing any items at job finish the system will check if they meet the shelf life requirements, or if the user has override permissions. This could be items that were issued and no longer meet the requirement or items backflushed from a shop area or regular inventory location.

Management Reporting

  • Donut Graphs - A new Graph Type, "Donut", was added to the Graph Data form as well as the "Cutout Percent" field to define the percentage for the cutout portion of the donut chart that will be displayed on screen.
  • Scatter Graphs - A new Graph Type, "Scatter", was added to the Graph Data form as well as the "Trend Lines" field. Similar to line charts but no lines are drawn, only points. Also, multiple points can fall on the same x-coordinate.
  • Bubble Graphs - A new Graph Type, "Bubble", was added to the Graph Data form. No legends are shown and series appear as y-ticks. Positive value bubbles are filled with series color. Negative values are outline only bubbles, no color. Zero values are not shown (to reduce noise).
  • Graph Size and Position Options - The "Top, Bottom, Left, and Right" fields on the Graph Data form have been removed and replaced by the fields on the "Size & Position" tab.
  • Swapping X/Y Axes - A new field, "Swap X/Y Axes", was added to the Graph Data form. The field allows Cartesian-based BI charts (bar/line/area) to swap the X/Y axes, allowing graphs to be generated horizontally rather than vertically.
  • Bar- Grouped And Bar - Stacked Graphs - Two new Graph Types, "Bar - Stacked" and Bar - Grouped", have been added to the Graph Data form. When these graph types are selected, the Graph Data form will function the same as when selecting a "Line" type and the setup will match that of "Line" chart. The "Group On" field will also be enabled.
  • Funnel Graphs - A new Graph Type, "Funnel", has been added to the Graph Data form. Funnel charts handle their data much like bar charts. A funnel chart can be considered as a horizontal bar chart with some display changes as detailed in the Graph Data section. This type of chart is used to visualize how data moves through a process and is often used to represent stages in a sales process.
  • Polar Area Graphs - A new Graph Type, "Polar Area", has been added to the Graph Data form. Polar Area charts utilize the same logic as pie and donut charts. Each series slice has the same angle the radius of each slice represents that series' value relative to the total of all series values.
  • Radar Graphs - A new Graph Type, "Radar", has been added to the Graph Data form. Radar charts is the same as setting up an Area chart from the user's perspective. The "x-ticks" are the radial spoke labels. The "y-ticks" are the radius scale values (similar to a polar area chart).
  • Work Flow History - the "Planned", "Notes", and "Assigned To" fields have been added to the list of fields that are tracked for any additions and changes in Work Flow History, via the "View History" button both in Work Flow Reporting and on the Work Flow tabs of Sales Orders, Jobs, and Purchase Orders.
  • Attach Documents and Images to Work Flow Sequences - The "View Docs" button has been added to the Edit Work Flow Sequence form.
  • Series Names For All Tooltips - The appropriate data series names will now be added automatically to all tooltips, for all chart types, in Business Intelligence.
  • Automatic Shifting Legends for Wide Charts - When BI charts are much wider than short, and there is limited space for legend items above the chart, the legend will now automatically shift to the right of the chart so there is more vertical room for the chart.
  • Percentage of Total - Donut and Pie Charts - The tooltips for Donut and Pie charts now contain the percentage of total information.

Printouts

  • Track Page Numbers Across Report Layouts - When checked, users have the of ability to print ‘page # of total pages’ for a document group on each page printed for a Job, rather than just the single report that makes up the Document group.
  • Print to PDF Selections - Note: When printing to PDF, the system will select the PDF printer based on the below list, ordered by priority, with #1 being the top priority. Note that the names need to match exactly as indicated below as the application will look for the printer by name.

  • Re-Calculate Job Calcs After Revision Update checkbox added to WIP tab - When checked, if changes are made to a revision/bom on the matbom form, and the user will receive the update jobs prompt.
  • Linked Jobs Master Production Calendar Scheduling - When Linked Jobs, not originally scheduled, are added to the Master Production Calendar the system will prompt to schedule/update other Linked Jobs. If "Yes" is selected on the prompt the system will schedule all sequences for linked jobs forward and backward in the chain.
  • Schedule Continuous Routings - New methods to schedule Routings Sequences that both enhance and differ from some of the scheduling options previously in the system have been introduced. The concept is called Continuous Routings and is designed to have the system automatically schedule a job when there is sufficient time on the calendar to schedule the connected, continuous sequences. For example, if a job will take 6 hours to complete, have the system evaluate and shift sequences without any gaps. Gaps might be another routing sequence, blackout, or open space.

This report is useful when evaluating trends over time and not just a listing of each pass of QC results entered.
  • Maintain At-Risk Until All Risk Statuses On Consumed Materials Are Cleared - A new field, "Require QC For At-Risk" has been added to Inventory > Options. If the field is checked, when a lot (with QC attached) has QC values entered and approved, if any other lower level lots have not had their qc results approved, the materials will be placed into an at risk status. Additional information is available via the link in the first sentence.
  • Re-Grouping Previously Un-Grouped QC Results - Functionality has been added to re-group QC results after they had previously been un-grouped. Results that have been re-grouped will only show new QC results after the re-group has taken place, with no way of viewing the previously entered QC results.

Users can check then check this "Receive As Master Lot" field and be able to select any existing master lot to add to an existing master lot.
  • Menu Navigation, Button Selection, and Button Commands via Voice Recognition - The WMS application supports the use of voice commands for menu navigation, button selection, and button commands (i.e. Next, Apply etc..) on scanners using Android OS. The features are set by configuring the "Voice Output" and "Require Voice Recognition" fields in System > Maintenance > WMS Form Layouts, and the "WMS Record Button", "WMS Record Key", and "WMS Show Record" fields on User records, in Inventory > Options, and in the settings on the scanner itself. In addition, when using this feature, the field captions and data populated in the fields will be read back to the user.
  • Additional Voice Commands for Android OS - In addition to the controls and fields on the WMS form layouts, the following voice commands are available to users when using Android OS: Repeat All, Repeat, Enter, and Put Away. See the WMS Form Layouts page for additional information.
  • WMS Prompts Read To User - In the WMS application, when using Android OS, and if the "Read Prompts" field is checked in WMS Form Layouts, the system will read aloud screen prompts to the user (example - "invalid PO Number"). Users can say "Repeat" to have the prompt repeated.
  • Require Physical Scan During Final Staging in WMS - A new security, "WMS -- allow final staging without physical scan", has been added. The default setting for this security is "No". If the security is set to "Yes", uses will not be able to final stage in the WMS application without scanning a barcode first.
