New Functionalities

  • A new sub-module called “Material Requirement Planning” with the following functionalities was added:
    • Ensures materials are available to meet planned production needs. o Plans manufacturing activities and purchasing activities. o Determines when purchase orders should be placed.
    • Creates Purchase Requisitions for required materials.
  • For BPRs, the status “Added to Inventory” was changed to “Adding to Inventory” now that multiple materials can be added from the BPR into inventory, in addition a new status called “Closed” was added; once a BPR is moved to “Close”, then no more materials can be added to inventory from it.
  • Low Level Inventory report was substituted by a new report called “Alert Level” report to represent a more accurate status of the Inventory based on new configurable fields called “Alert Level” and “Reorder Level”.
  • Two new automated email report were added: “Materials Nearing Alert Level” and “Materials Nearing Reorder Level”, where an email is sent to selected users based on a user-specified lead time.
  • A new sub-menu called “Automatic Reports” was added where users can access the same “automatic” reports on-demand.
  • A new “Incident Log” was added to the “Quality Module”.
  • A new functionality was added to the DMS which allows to append the approved document to the header whenever the document is a PDF.
  • Several functionalities were added to the “Training Log”:
    • Users can train on Batch Production Records.
    • Optionally, the system will not allow personnel to work on Batches where training has not been finished.
    • An automatic email will be sent to the user when a new training is assigned.
    • Training remainder emails can be manually triggered from the system.
  • Optionally, only personnel assigned to Project can see/work on those Batches.

Improvements

  • In order to facilitate the approval of Batches, a PDF report with the list of errors shown on the screen “HCmBprApproval” can be printed.
  • When editing Dynamic Fields, a new header was added containing Project Title, MPR #, MPR Version, Part #, Version # and Product Name.
  • A Product Name column was added to the “Depleted Inventory” screen.
  • In order to avoid some common mistakes, a “confirmation” screen now appears when trying to delete a step on the MPR Manufacturing Instruction summary screen.
  • The following columns were added to the Inventory Value Report: “Material Type” and “Part # Version.”
  • A new column with “Part # Version” was added to “Current Inventory”, “Low Inventory” and “Production Lot Traceability” reports.
  • A new search field was added for “PO #” on Pending Receipt Screen.
  • The main left menu was reorganized with new submenus to better represent the expected workflow of our users.
  • We’ve removed Rec # column from the Purchase Order PDF.

  • When “Strength” or “Suffix” is added to a material in a Project, the system will create a NEW material with it corresponding Specification that has to be approved prior to creation of a Product based on that material. In addition, moving forward the naming of the Product will be based on the following concatenation of fields, “Material Name” + “Strength” + Suffix + Primary Container.
  • Multiple imports of the same Material can be done on one “Import Receipts” spreadsheet.
  • None-Unique Production numbers can be configured as a global function for individual customers.
  • A new global configuration can be set on customers that need to use a material regardless of its version #.

  • A new field was added to the requisitions called “Comment” which is shown on each Requisition printout, The following fields were added to the Requisition email approval: Comment, Vendor Part #, Vendor Catalog # information, Vendor PO #, Requested by and Needed by.
