Release notes 3.2.3

1. PROLAG World

Template configurator: Rights configurator has been simplified and enhanced

Relevant module: 100-01 Basic package

Benefits:
A user-friendly display configurator can be used to define rights and settings.

Description:
The display configurator is called by clicking on the Setup button and is used to define the most important settings and authorisations.

 

2. Global processes

Check expiry date validity by purchase order type

Relevant module: Expiry date management 205-07

Benefits:
Stock which has a short expiry date but is allowed for retrieval can be placed in storage without being locked for QA. This is still possible even if the remaining time until expiry at goods receipt is not observed.

Description:
The validity of the expiry date is checked at putaway based on the expiry date check field. If the expiry date has already exceeded the defined number of days in the expiry date range, the stock is locked for QA before putaway at the I-point.

A new feature is that when the expiry date is checked for special order types, such as returns, the value specified in article master for the expiry date - remaining time field can be used. For this purpose, the order type is extended with the characteristic "QA check on remaining time at goods receipt". If this characteristic is set, the stock only has to be locked for QA at the I-point if the expiry date is below the range of the expiry date - remaining time for the article.
This means that stock from returns can be put into storage without a QA lock even if the remaining time until expiry at goods receipt is not observed.

Lagergeld-Abrechnung - Fehlerreaktion, wenn Abrechnungsfenster geschlossen wurde

Relevant module: 205-11 Warehouse billing

Benefits:
The software bug where the user received a notification about successful or unsuccessful warehouse billing although billing had already been completed has now been fixed.

Description:
Notifications about successful or unsuccessful warehouse billing can be configured via the relevant error reactions.

Example:
Customer Max Mustermann AG has an owner where warehouse billing takes several hours. By setting a notification, the billing window can be closed so that it is possible to continue billing for other owners. The user is notified on completion, depending on the configuration of the error reaction.

 

3. Data transfer processes

Stock level report - quantity in remaining expiry time

Relevant module: Stock level report 207-04_1

Benefits:
To provide a better overview of where the goods in stock are located, a new column has been added to the stock level report. This column shows whether stock which is not locked for QA is already within remaining expiry time.

Description:
Stock which is not in QA or locked and has an expiry date that is already within the remaining time can be counted in a separate column in the stock level report and handled accordingly by the host system. The quantities in remaining expiry time are no longer counted towards the reserved and free quantities.

Note for systems prior to standard 3.2.3: Before standard 3.2.3, the stock quantity in remaining expiry time was added to the reserved or free quantity. This is still the standard handling by the host system. The allocation of the stock in remaining expiry time to the new column can be defined by making the relevant setting in the configuration file.

Example:
There is stock for article 4711 in a high bay rack. The stock quantity is 10, of which 2 pieces are locked, 3 pieces are in quarantine (QA), 3 pieces in remaining expiry time (2 of these are reserved) and 1 further piece is reserved.

The stock level report communicates the following:
  • Do not report stock in remaining expiry time separately: 3 pieces in quarantine, 2 locked, 3 reserved, 2 free
  • Report stock in remaining expiry time separately: 3 pieces in quarantine, 2 locked, 3 in remaining expiry time, 1 reserved, 1 free

 

4. PROLAG Go - Mobile Processes

Picking with return to stock - query load unit type and storage group

Relevant module: PROLAG Go - Picking with restorage 303-09

Benefits:
The user can find an optimal location for returning a load unit to stock.

Description:
At the picking station, you can change the return-to-stock storage group and the load unit type manually when you return a load unit to stock. This function is only for use in exceptional cases and is therefore not activated in your system. The function can be activated manually.

Example:
After picking, there are so few items to be returned to stock that it would be better to use a different location and a different load unit type.

 

5. Production

booking transaction field in the raw materials history

Relevant module: Production supply and manufacturing 505-03

Benefits:
The booking transaction field provides an optimal overview of any changes relating to in-house production.
Changes to the batch, expiry date, stock transformation and so on are logged in the raw material history template.
