  1. Add the ability to upload CSV file to Promo Desk.

    It's very tedious and prone to errors when manually entering all the item #'s. It would be helpful to be able to upload a list of items to a batch in promo desk.

  3. Export Processor - Select based on Empty/Blank values

    In Export Processor there is no way to select records based on a field being blank or empty that I can find. For example, someone may want all items where a note field is not populated or empty. Or, someone may want all customers where the Crdt Rating field is empty. It would be great to get those records in the initial data and avoid manipulating the data in Excel.

  4. When a line item is duplicated on an EDI order, copy the associated Attributes and Notes.

    If a line item is partially backordered, the customer would like to create a duplicate line item so the new ship date can be entered without affecting the original ship date. For EDI orders, it is important the Attributes and Notes attached to the line item are copied over to the duplicated line item.

  5. Update the Item Vendor field 6 with the last PO cost

    When user enter and prints a PO and there is an Item Vendor Record, Elliott updates field 6. But if user changes the PO cost, this field is not being updated. From the conversation with Roger, I understand it has to do with audit trail on the PO line and a situation that there might be another PO for the same item and a different cost. I see the point but the discrepancies that are created because the cost in field 6 are worse than the benefit. I suggest to update field 6 if the Po line cost is changed,…

    I remember it used to work the way you wanted.  That is to say, when a changed PO is printed, the item vendor file, "6. Last Purchase Cost" is also updated.  Then we received complaints from users that the Last Purchase Cost value is incorrect in some situation.  Here is an example, on 1/1/21, a PO of item A has a purchase cost of $100.  On 1/1/22, another PO of item A has a purchase cost of $110.  The Item Vendor file field "6.Last Purchase Cost" is $110 at this moment.  With the old logic, if we go ahead change the older PO on 1/1/21, we may or may not change the line item FOB cost, the result of printing the changed older PO is that item A's last purchase price is now changed  back to $100 and this cause problem.


    Obviously, you can argue this either way. But I…

  6. Purchase Order Receiving should default fields 11, 12 & 13 to what was entered in the first receiving line

    We currently fill in Fields 11, 12 and 13 (Vessel #, Receiver, and Inv/Doc) when we receive the first line item of a PO which is fine. However subsequent receivings for additional line items on the same PO must also be keyed in. Receiving could be much faster if those fields default to the same data used in the first receiving line.

    (1) We suggest you to look at PO -> Processing -> Warehouse Receiving Process.  Advised if that will work for you. Warehouse Receiving Import is designed to have an easier user interface than legacy receiving;  (2) If you can use warehouse receiving process, then you can also look at PO -> Utility -> Warehouse Recv Import.


    Please advise if warehouse receiving does not work for you and why. Thank you

  7. Allow to run Coasted BOM with no output

    When running the Coasted BOM as Deferred Processing (Probabely with the option to update the cost) an email cannot be sent because of the size of the output. Adding an option on the report parameters not to print the details and replace the report with a message "Coasted BOM was completed" will resolve the issue. Another alternative is to change the email option under the Deferred Processing and allow not to send an attachment,

  8. Ability to change a production shop order qty even after the order is partially received.

    We often have the need to increase the shop order quantity after production has started and has been initially reported. I would prefer to change the work order qty instead of just over receiving the shop order. It would also help in showing the additional components being
    allocated.

  9. Add A/P Type "Deposit"

    Add a Voucher Type "D" for Deposit. User should be able to use the Deposit balance to pay future purchase. The current procedure of debiting an asset deposit account and use it later causes confusion and mistakes. I can discuss the details of the process with Roger.

    I think we had made some changes on AP credit memo. Specifically, we allow AP credit memo to use multiple times and can be used as the “Deposit” purpose. See the following KB article:
    https://support.elliott.com/knowledgebase/articles/1965881-feature-support-ap-partial-payment-for-negative

    Will you discus with Roger. If you still think Credit memo will not do it and Roger agree with you, then we can discuss further.

  10. COP Order Entry Line - Allow to see stock status in all locations.

    Currently in COP, Order Entry, Line Item screen when user is in field 2 - Qty Order, there is an option to use F3 - stock status, but the Stock status is ONLY for the order location. I suggest to add F4 to show Stock status in all locations. This can help the order entry person to make a decision about centering the quantity. Maybe a Global setup option can be either F4 for stock status for all locations should be presented in case companies don't want to show other locations.

  11. Create Inventory Transactions Audit Trail CSV when in on-line mode

    Elliott allows to create a csv of the inventory transactions audit trail which is excellent, but allows that only when using a batch mode. I suggest to do it in on-line mode as well. The majority of the customers are in batch mode but there are still users that are in on-line mode.

    Netcellent made a decision long time ago that we will phase out real-time inventory transaction processing in favor of batch. But we still keep the real-time method for backward compatibility. Therefore, we had been advising our users to switch from real-time mode to batch mode inventory transaction processing. Same principle applies to PO receiving. Over the years, all new features improvement are added to the batch mode processing only. For this reason, this suggestion does not fit our direction.

  12. Reduction in data on a transfer ticket

    When printing out transfer tickets is it possible for the accounting system to take into account the quantity of a component part
    Already in the production bin such that it does not show/or that it is noted on transfer ticket briefly.

  13. CSV/ASCII File Import and Case Insensitive Issue in Elliott 8.5

    In Elliott 8.5, you can optionally convert your database to 8.5 format to support alphabetic document number. Of the conversion is Elliott now assume each field is case insensitive when search. While this improve the add-hoc search capability for Elliott database, but it may create a potential problem with CSV/ASCII File Import.

    For example, if you enter a customer number "A100" as "a100". In Elliott's user interface, we will convert the lower case "a" to upper case "A" automatically. However, in the CSV/ASCII import, if the source data is "a100", when system validate "a100", the result will come back to…

  14. Note Pop Up

    Add a feature where a Note Type could be defined to automatically open in front of the Notes application. Would be best if positioned so the list of notes is somewhat visible.

  15. A Permanent Solution to Resolve CP3HS999.BTR Work File to Resolve Sales History Trx Edit List by Location/Item Locking Problem

    CP3HSxxx.BTR are work files created by Sales History Trx Edit List by Location/Item. If NTFS security is implemented, CP3HSxxx.BTR may remain until CP3HS999.BTR file is reached. From there, user will not be able to run this report anymore. This is documented in the following KB article: http://support.elliott.com/knowledgebase/articles/765105-what-are-cp3hsxxx-btr-files-can-we-delete-them

    It is suggested that we should have a permanent solution to this issue. Our opinion is that (1) Not everyone implement NTFS security; (2) Not everyone run this report; (3) Not everyone run this report with high frequency.

    In addition this issue is now documented so user can manually deleted the CP3HSxxx.BTR work…

  16. Allow user to change all lines promised dates from the header screen

    I suggest to allow user to change ALL lines promised dates from the header screen. We have a similar functionality in PO and receiving. With the current business situation, cash flow is critical to watch. If Promised date is not correct, it will cause a financial problem. Changing orders with 50 - 80 lines is not easy. We can add a prompt if user changes the Ship Date on the COP Order Header. A global setup as "Prompt?" will be nice.

  17. Allow Product Structure Change Import

    For us, we run into a scenario where a manager may need to go in and preform data hygiene maintenance.

    Maintaining certain order of components by sequence, adding a user defined note to components, removing old components and replacing them with new components, and changing the qty of a component required for each parent item (after analysis shows it is used more heavily or lightly), etc.

    If there are many items, this is very difficult.

    Is there a way to add a CSV import to allow a user to make many changes to all item's product structures? (For example: the…

  18. Allow to present "Calculated Discount" on an invoice

    In the case of a discount on an order where the discount is a result of a price code, Elliott doesn't show the discount on the line or the invoice. I suggest to have the option to show these discounts. I am not sure if this should be a setup (as Show Line Discounts B=Both calculated and actual, L=Only Line Discount). If we create a new field on the invoice form, it might be difficult to present.

  19. Flag to allow blank INV/DOC# during warehouse receipt - Y or N

    This could be a separate flag or if combined with Validate INV/DOC# set Y during warehouse receiving provide a warning if a blank is entered.

    I believe INV/DOC# is already required if you turn on PO Invoice Processing feature. We have to if you want to use that feature. We have to understand your point of view on why it is necessary to allow blank instead of just enter anything to by pass. Does it mean you don’t have either INV/DOC# most of the time? Does it means you don’t really use PO Invoice Processing feature? If that is the case, you should not turn on PO Invoice Processing feature in the first place.

  20. I/M Copy Extra Item data to be optional in Global Setup

    Currently when copying an item in Item Maintenance --> Change --> F3 the system automatically copies the extra item data. This often results in erroneous information being copied to the new item.

    There should be an option in Global setup similar to the options to copy Notes, Attributes and links to allow the user to decide if the EXTRA ITEM DATA should be copied.
