Release V850.27 – 13th November 2020
Introduction
Updated versions of our ERP systems have been released. The purpose of this document is to present an overview of the new developments included within the release.
If you have any feedback about our software products, please get in touch at support@fitfactory.com. Many of the features added to the products are as a result of ideas and inputs from our customers and partners.
Major Developments
1. Bill of Materials (BoM) Uploader
Functionality has been added to allow users to upload Bills of Material (BoMs) into the Enterprise and AeroDNA: Enterprise systems via an Excel spreadsheet. The template for this is available by navigating to Data => Production => Part => Upload BOMs => Template.
To use this feature, all materials, subcontract operations and sub-assembly parts listed in the BoM must already exist within the system. All items listed in the BoM will be added to the first operation of the default route of the parent part. Please contact support@fitfactory.com if you require further details.
2. Database Storage Check
A check has been added into the system so that once a database reaches 80% capacity, an alert is sent to Fitfactory Support so action can be taken if required. Please contact support@fitfactory.com if you would like to add an additional email address to be alerted or if you require further details.
3. Improvements to Shop Floor Data Capture (SFDC) module
Several improvements have been made to the SFDC module, including the ability for authorised users to print delivery notes from the ‘Despatch’ tile (where a Crystal Report template is in use).
Changes have also been made to allow multiple ‘related documents’ to Acceptance Standards within the system and for these documents to be made available for viewing on relevant operations within the SFDC.
4. Archiving of Operation Notes
The option to archive operation notes that are no longer required has been added to the system. Navigate to Data => Production => Operation => Operation Notes. Notes can be archived individually by ticking the box or en masse by selecting ‘Archive All’. Once archived, notes will continue to appear on existing jobs but will not be available to select when creating new routes.
5. Stock Request improvements
When an item that is linked to a Stock Request is removed from the Purchase Requisition List, the user removing the item is now given the opportunity to add a note to the original stock request explaining why it has been removed, along with the option to mark the Stock Request as complete.
