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. Stock control functionality
Various adjustments to stock handling within the system along with new stock take functionality have been added:
- There is now an option to lock the quantity received on ‘Stock Ins’ to prevent users retrospectively adjusting received quantities
- Job numbers on Network=>Inventory=>Stock=>Stock-In=>Edit are now hyperlinked to the Allocated GIN tab of the job to allow for easy allocation adjustment or un-allocation
- When jobs require reprocessing, improvements have been made to the check on existing allocations
To carry out a stock take & adjust the levels within the system
- Navigate to Network=>Inventory=>Stock and select “Stock Take”
- A popup window will open
- Select if you want to stock take a particular stock code or location or leave the dropdowns blank for all stock
- Click the ‘Report’ button to download an excel spreadsheet list of the current stock levels of each GIN in DNA
- The spreadsheet has column to enter the actual stock figures
- Count the stock & update the spreadsheet
- Upload this back to DNA on the popup window on Network=>Inventory=>Stock and select “Stock Take”
- An error log shows if anything isn’t uploaded
- If the actual stock level is below the level in DNA, an auto stock out is completed, recording the date/time/username of the uploader
- If the actual stock level is above the level in DNA, a new GIN for the difference is created, but copies the delivery note/CoC/batch information off the existing GIN & adds a note citing the date/time/username of the uploader. The new GIN is automatically quarantined
2. Combining Multiple Routes
The system now has the option to combine multiple existing routes when creating a new one. This will allow for routes to be built from a series of route ‘modules’ if required.
On the route screen select ‘Copy detail from another route’ and select the initial route you’d like to copy. Click copy. Select ‘Copy detail from another route’ again, and select the next route, click ‘Add operations to existing route’ to add the second route’s operations under the first. Repeat as many times as required to build the required route.
3. Document Uploads
Quality Alert & Datacard documents can now be uploaded into DNA’s document database rather than just being ‘path only’, for those companies hosting DNA on a cloud system with their documents currently on a local server, this allows access to the documents from the SFDC.
