Major Developments

1) WebAPIs developed
API development to open up the system for future integrations. APIs can be switched on on Data=>Organisation=>My Company=>Integration=>API.

API selection page

Separate documentation is available for the implementation of these APIs, please contact support@valuechain.com to discuss you integration requirements.

2) Option to mark parts as High Risk
There is now the option to flag parts as being high risk (Data=>Production=>Part). When a sales order and/or job is raised for this part, the notes box with be highlighted in red to warn users of the ‘high risk’ status

3) Improvements to Purchase Requisitions
Several improvements have been made to the Purchase Requisition List; additional details of associated stock requests are now listed, along with the current available stock. Users with appropriate permissions are now able to allocate available stock to jobs directly in the Purchase Requisition screen.

Changes have also been made on the Stock Requisition and Purchase Order screens to improve the traceability of requests. Purchase order details can now be found on the stock requests and stock request details on the purchase orders.

4) CoC reminders
If a certificate of conformity is always required for a material or subcontract operation, there is an option on Data=>Production=>Stock / Subcontract Operation to mark this as a requirement. There is now the additional option for a C of C reminder; once both boxes are ticked, any GINs booked in for that material / subcon operation without a C of C being confirmed, will be flagged red on the GIN screen and on the Allocated GIN tab of any associated jobs. GIN reports can also be run to display any deliveries that are still awaiting a certificate.

5) Auto clockout option
There is now the option to ‘Auto clockout’ users at a particular time (e.g. lunch break or end of shift). If you wish to use this option, please contact support@valuechain.com as it requires a scheduled task to be installed.

6) Tooling purchase invoices
An option has been added to the menu to allow users to record purchase invoices for tooling service orders.

7) Setup scrap allowance
For companies that use up material during the setup of machines, there is now an option for operators to enter the quantity of material to be scrapped on the SFDC. Please contact support@valuechain.com for amendments to customisation options.
