  1. 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…

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. 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…

  6. 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…

  7. 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…

  8. 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).

  9. 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.

  10. 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.

  11. 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…

  13. 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…

  14. 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.

  15. 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…

  16. 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.

  17. 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.

  18. Prompt for SUPERVISOR Password When User Choose Password_Off

    It has come to our attention that sometime user may accidentally turn off Elliott password when try to perform password maintenance. Therefore, it is suggested that when user choose to turn off password, system should prompt for the SUPERVISOR user's password before doing so.

  19. Plus WO - Alert when production causes negative quantity on hand.

    I suggest to add a Production Qty event where admin users can subscribe. When the scanned qty is going to cause the qty on hand become negative, send an email to admin users if they subscribe to this event. Maybe we can do it in addition to Plus WO for Material and Legacy as well. This is to tell the admin that there’s inventory problem and he/she should address it. In the meantime, we do not stop the production. To avoid complicate programming issue, I suggest to trigger this event at time of posting production transaction. My thinking is this…

  20. Pick ticket - kit items should include non-stocked components

    Currently, printed pick tickets for kit items exclude non-stocked components - resulting in orders being shipped incomplete.

    Would like to see pick ticket include non-stocked kit components.

    If we should make this change, a global setup flags will be needed in COP -Func -> Pick/Pack Ticket/Ship Label setup.  A flag like "51. Print None Stock Items on Pick Ticket?" will be introduced.  The default value should be "N' so the existing users will not be affected by this new feature.


    My thinking is this flag should apply to both the line items on pick ticket and kit components under the line item.  Do you agree?
