  1. Check if Work Order Operation Has Shortage Before Allowing to Close the Operation

    A user reported a scenario that they have been picking parts real time and creating shortage reports. However, they discovered that some of the work orders were getting closed without OP10 being complete. The allocation goes away but inventory isn't reduced for any short parts. In a perfect world they would be caught up with their inventory transactions, and user should check any shortage components before complete last operation.

    So it is suggested that Elliott should check if the work order operation has any shortage and stop the work order from close OP20 before OP10 parts are complete.

  2. Reconcile Inventory received Not Invoice (Accrual) Account.

    Currently it is either extremely difficult or impossible to reconcile the received Not Invoice account. On the GL reference field Elliott displays D# followed by space and the receiving document number. Then another space "Itm#" and the item number. This is basically meaningless for reconciliation purpose. Users really dont care about the receiving document number. I suggest to replace the first 10 characters ("D# 123456 " With PO number (6 characters, "-" and the line number. We are losing the space before the "Itm#" literal but this is okay. This will allow easy reconciliation against the PO receiving Audit trail.…

  3. Purchase Order Receiving

    When receiving on a purchase order and it asks you if you're sure because qty is over ordered amount. Be able to put in a parameter such as 12% over, otherwise not ask. Or be able to shut off the warning all together. It's an industry standard on many items that it's ok to ship within 10% over of quantity ordered. Almost everything we receive is over so the warning really doesn't help. It would help better if we could set it up to show only at 12%. Then it would be a meaningful warning that would stop me from…

  4. GL Posting Audit Trail

    I suggest to add Audit trail on the user that posts GL Journal Entry. I would add the user to the GLTRXFIL and GLJNLHST. Both have room (21 and 20 characters). We already have the logic to do it in the Inventory Transaction Audit Trail. SOX Controls requires that. Public companies must have it and I see the benefit for non-public companies as well.

  5. Add the AP Voucher Comment to the Extended (csv) Open Item

    Information of the Voucher comment might be valuable. For example a foreign currency amount is entered under the Voucher comment.

  6. Drill down to GL Source when doing GL Account Inquiry

    The idea is to save the necessary extra steps that are currently required if user wants to get the full journal of a GL entry. Now the user has exit the inquiry, go to Reports and run a Cross reference report with the Cross reference on the inquiry in order to see the full journal. With tis idea user will able to "scroll" yo the trx and then hit F key to get the drill down to the source. Maybe we should do it only for GL sources.

  7. Support Location, Product Category and Customer Type to Determine Sales and COGS

    Currently, Elliott allow defining sales and COGS account by location and product category. We are facing with the following complaints:
    (1) User only want to define sales account by product category, not by location. Because of the fix structure, user will have to define all combination of locations and product categories which is a burden.
    (2) Sometime user may miss a combination, as a result the sales and COGS go to the default account causing reconciliation problem. System should make it easier to find potential missing setup problem.
    (3) Some users want to define sales and COGS account by customer…

  8. Support Check Reference in AP Manual Check Processing or AP Account Inquiry

    Like the voucher reference, it would be nice if we can support check reference for check record in AP Open Item file. Users can store wire transaction ID or other pertinent information in check reference. Giving the fact that more an more payments are done electronically, it is important to give user a way to record the reference information since there's really no check number in that case.

    Suggest to allow users to indicate the check reference in manual check processing. The check reference information should show on A/P Account (& Summary) Inquiry. Give user the ability to edit the…

  9. Allow 2 operators to log into the same WoP job

    Many of our clients want the ability to allow multiple workers to scan into the same Work Order. We know there's a workaround by having the 2nd worker log in to the work center instead of the job, but for many of the floor workers this complicates things. Ideally the Floor Manager tells the 2nd worker to log into the work center, but in many cases things are busy and hectic, and Worker B logs in to a job worker A is in. Now A is kicked out and his time is no longer being tracked (unknown to him), and…

  10. Allow Changes to a Printed Plus Work Order

    Currently, once a plus production work order is printed no other changes can be made to the work order. If production has not started, users could be able to add material to the work order or change operation information since no material has been issued and no labor has been reported. Also, if the production work order has been started but production has not been reported for the parent item, additional operations could be added to the work order or work order operations that have not been started could be changed.

  11. List Screen Numbers and Field numbers when providing Upgrades

    It is certainly beneficial that when providing upgrade instructions you already list the Global Default Security settings that need to be addressed.

    However locating the appropriate Screen and Field numbers for these settings can be tedious. It would help if we were provided with the Screen and field numbers for each of the settings within the setup instructions instead of just making them a bullet (o).

  12. Allow a credit card refund to be processed when processing a credit memo

    Instead of having to go to "credit card handle", it would be very helpful if you could process a credit card refund when processing a credit memo.

  13. Access Customer File & Ship-To file Econtacts based on Ship-to Selections in Econtact Processor

    In Econtact Processor, it would be great to select Customer File and Ship-To file Econtacts together based on selections made on the ship-to level. Most econtacts are associated with the Customer File, not the Ship-To file.

    One example would be to select all Customer File and Ship-To File Econtacts that have a Ship-To location with a certain attribute on the account. Or select all Customer / Ship-To File Econtacts that have ship-to's in a specific state.

    This would create a more comprehensive email address list to send messages to.

  14. Recover from "Unable to Read your Users record (9/068)" Error Automatically

    If a user's computer crashes or their session ends unexpectedly while they are in Elliott they could receive the error "Unable to Read your Users record (9/068). You cannot use Elliott until this is resolved." when they try to log back in.

    As far as we know, there is no way for the user to help their situation. If no one with elevated privileges is available to use the PSQL Monitor to delete their invalid user sessions, the user cannot work.

    There should be an automatic way for the system to recover from these errors or some process the user…

  16. Purchase Unit of Measure by Item Vendor File Maintenance:

    Purchase Unit of Measure by Item Vendor File Maintenance:
    Currently we can purchase an item with a different unit of measure from the stocking U of M by utilizing field 12 fo the item Master File.

    However all possible vendors for the same item do not sell in the same U of M. (ie Stock by Yard, Purchase by Yard or Meter).

    Since we already have a ITEM VENDOR FILE MAINTENACE could we add a Vendor U of M and a Purch to Stock Ratio filed that would be referenced when creating and receiving a PO the same way it…

  17. Allow Re-Sequence a Routing

    Elliott Work Order Plus allows user to change the Operation ID but if user wants to re-sequence a routing a manual change for each operation id is required (from the last operation going back). Elliott should allow a re-sequence similar to the BOM Product structure. Thanks, Avi.

  18. Prevent Two Conflict Defer Processings Running at The Same Time

    It is well known that if user run defer processing on two different workstations at the same time can cause problem. The following knowledgebase article show this may cause error 80: http://support.elliott.com/knowledgebase/articles/814293-btrieve-error-80-during-defer-processing. The type of error is not limit to Error 80. It can also be error 25. Another recent support incident shows that this cause quantity allocation double due to running reset quantity allocation at the same time on two different machine through defer. So running defer processing at the same time on different workstations is very problematic.

    Elliott does not prevent two Defer Processing tasks from running…

  19. Remember the Beginning/Ending GL Cash Account in AP Comprehensive Cash Proejct Report

    In A/P -> Reports -> Cash Requirement Reports -> Print -> Comprehensive Cash Projection Report, it prompt for:

    1. Beginning G/L Cash Account
    2. Ending G/L Cash Account

    Since these two parameters, once entered, usually does not change in the future, so it is desirable if the system can remember the last used Staring/Ending G/L Cash Account.

  20. macro-recorder

    I would like to get a macro-recorder that after the task is complete a "MAC" file could easily be made from the collected text (IE: 0101 01 "TEXT-ENTERED-INTO-A-FIELD" {enter} ) or update the help documentation to clearly explain 06 0603 gets you to the ATP status.
    Remember, that some users don't have access to all menus so Util-Setup is not the 6th menu over but is (for me) the 5th menu over.
