Major Developments

1)   Job Trace

There are times when you need to know where a sub assembly job has been allocated to another, where a GIN has been consumed or how split jobs relate to each other. There is a new page within the systems to allow easy traceability of jobs and GINs.

Network=>Production=>Job Trace allows you to enter the job number or GIN you wish to trace and will display the related jobs and GINs. Double clicking on an icon will expand the chain further so you can trace the allocations. Right clicking on an icon will bring up details of the job/GIN and its allocation history.

2) Early Certificate of Conformity
A new option has been added to allow the generation of certificates of conformity before a job is marked complete. This is useful for routes where the final inspection is not the last operation (e.g. a wrap & pack operation may be after it). If you wish to use this feature, please contact support@valuechain.com to discuss, as training and amendments to certificate / delivery note templates would be required.

3) New crystal view: CR_Job_Progress_Details
A new crystal view, CR_Job_Progress_Details, can be linked to CR_Job_Progress to give additional details of the start time, end time & operator details for each recorded progress on each operation.

4) WIP report when up-issuing internal specifications
When up-issuing internal specifications, it is now possible to generate a report of all of the current WIP jobs that refer to the specification and may be affected by the amendments. It is then possible to review this list and determine if any further changes are required for these jobs.

5) Tooling usage can be recorded independent of job
When manually recording the usage of a tool (Network=>Inventory=>Tooling=>Usage History=>Add Usage History), it is no longer mandatory to record the specific jobs that the tool has been used on, e.g. if a tool has been used 20 times on 20 different jobs during the course of a shift, a usage of 20 can be recorded without having to record each usage individually.

6) Improvements to SFDC

Goods can now be booked in through the SFDC; just enable this tile on the user permissions, for those who need access. Users can then select the relevant supplier, see the outstanding purchase orders and enter the relevant GIN details.

After splitting a job via the SFDC, it is now possible to split the corresponding Batch IDs on the SFDC too. Enable the Split Batch tile on the user permissions for relevant users.
