  1. Provide Ability to Send Text Messages

    Some people respond better to text messages than emails. The ability for Elliott to post text messages (to a cell phone number) might be useful in the following scenarios:
    1. It could be used in two-step login verification in the future.
    2. The User List could be enhanced to manually send a text to a logged in user that you do not have the cell number for on your phone.
    3. An event could trigger a text to the subscriber's cell number, for example if a record is locked and preventing access.
    There may be other useful scenarios.

  3. Order inquiry History file

    Is it possible to copy and order from the Order inquiry History file?

    This would be important because if you purge data from Order Inquiry
    to the Order inquiry History file you will not longer have access to
    be able to copy old quotes/orders. Please consider supporting this idea
    as an improvement for all users.

  4. Print Line Item Case Quantities on Packing List Form

    Many customer want to know how many cases of each line item are shipping but that detail is not printed on the packing list.

    Through Global setup we can already print the total number of cases on a packing list. Ship verification already gathers the case quantity information.

    Since Ship Verification prompts the user to print the packing list it would be extremely helpful to print the case information. Case quantity could print in the "QTY Shipped" column below the value for each and the UOM "Case" could print below the literal "EA" value.

  5. Synchronizing Item Description On Open Orders When Description Changes

    Similar to how customer names synchronize to open orders when they are changed, we would love to see item descriptions have the same behavior. Occasionally, we have a large number of orders that are either in the warehouse or on back order and have the need to change the product description. This could be due to a change from a manufacturer once an item comes in or as simple as some information that is discovered to be wrong or has a typo on there. A prompt when changing the item description in Item File Maintenance asking if we would like…

  6. F7 to ​show open and valid production orders to print

    F7 to show open and valid production orders to print

    It would be helpful to have the ability to “select valid” production order for printing
    (Fields #3/#4) instead of always hand typing or selecting a range of production numbers.

  7. Void AP Check with Vendor Number Filter Option

    When user perform void AP check (AP -> Processing -> Void Checks After Posting,) it currently prompt for the followings parameters:
    1. Cash Account No
    2. Starting Check No
    3. Ending Check No
    4. Check Void Date
    It is suggested that Vendor Number should be added as an additional filter to avoid user making mistake.

  8. Change Reset Allocation & On Order to Net Change Adjustment

    Currently, the process to reset qty allocation and on order start the process by zero out all item and inventory location qty allocation and on order. Then it start to read the open orders to accumulate the qty allocation and order. Depend on users system, this process can take a few minutes to 10 minutes.

    During this period, the system is vulnerable if another user is creating orders to change allocation and on order. That is the reason why we suggest user to run reset allocation and on order at night time through defer processing. However, some users is having…

  9. Improve Inventory Transaction Audit Trail Report Performance If Selection by Date Range

    If user choose to print Inventory Transaction Audit Trail Report for All Items of a single date range, the report can for run a long time as if it is stuck. See attached example.

    General speaking, user will get good performance if they select for specific item number range. Running this report on PSQL server directly will be much faster. Also, purge older inventory trx audit trail records will also help to speed up the report. Netcellent recommend keeping inventory trx audit trail database for 3 years of history.

    It is suggested that Netcellent should optimize this report's performance even…

  10. Have no zero's print on Quarterly PR reports

    Qtrly PR reports include employees that have had no earnings. It doesn't matter if employee is checked active or inactive in the account. Where there is a bit of turnover in the factory, it makes the report much longer and they are needed on it.

  11. Use Plus or Minus for Yes or No in All Areas

    In Elliott, with a "Yes" or "No" type of question, user can use Plus "+" or Minus "-" sign to represent the "Yes" or "No". This is convenience for those people who prefer to use the numeric keypad.

    On the other hand, some of the fields have been enhanced to accept not only "Y" or "N" values, then the "+" or "-" key won't work as "Y" or "N". In the attached exampled, "Stock Status Report", field "8. Exclude Zero Qty Items?" It has the extra option of "A" (All) where "Y=Yes, N=No, A=Include Zero Qty OH With Alloc or…

  12. Allow PO form select when printing purchase orders

  13. Allow to use PO# instead of Invoice # in Cash receipt Import

    As more electronic cash receipt files are based on the customer PO and not invoice number or order number I suggest to allow to use PO# in column H instead of Invoice #. The system will then check if the value is a valid invoice and apply the payment to the invoice or valid PO and using the CPPOREF will get the invoice and apply to the invoice. There is a potential issue if the same PO was used for more than one invoice and I am not sure how to handle this situation. This will be a huge help…

  14. Use F2=Labor Only When Report Zero Qty in Plus Work Order Time Clock Reporting

    In Plus Work Order, Work Order Production Reporting for the time clock operation, user can choose "Qty Completed" = 0. This will stop the time clock for that either that operation, or previous operation (depend on what operation was previously working on). If user choose to report Qty Completed = 0, then there is no Production Transaction created. As a result, the WIP and accounting side will not be updated. If user wish to create production transaction to so WIP is created, user can Press F2 key which means to report "Labor Only".

    It is suggested that some users would…

  15. Give User Warning Message for Plus Work Order When Reporting Last Operation with Shortage

    There's a great feature for tracking material shortage with Elliott Plus Work Order. See the KB article at: http://support.elliott.com/knowledgebase/articles/1185577-feature-create-material-shortage-tracking-with-p

    However, sometime even though the shortage materials already received and are used in production, but user may not pay attention and report the materials for the work order and reporting quantity completion with the last operation. This cause the cost calculation incorrectly and may inventory adjustment need to take place later.

    It is proposed that we add the following flags to BOMP Global Control:
    * Give User Warning When Report Last Operation with Shortage?
    Default is "N". If user set to…

  16. When splitting a Lot line in COP, insert the new line instead of adding a line at the end

    When doing Billing or Shipping Confirmation, on a Lot line and the selected lot doesn't have enough quantity, Elliott creates a new line after all the existing lines. This makes the lots' selection very cumbersome as the user has to "jump" between the items according to the sequence of the lines. If user can Insert a new line (this can be a Global setup questions), all the lines for a specific item will be grouped together, which will make the lot selection by item easier.

  17. In Vendor Inquiry Summary drill down to the Cash Account used to pay the voucher

    Currently Elliott has a F2 function to show multiple checks that paid a voucher. But user cannot see the cash account used. This is critical if there are multiple cash accounts or if multiple "deposit" accounts are used for pre-paid. I suggest to display the cash account near the check and use the F2 function to show the bank account in case of one check (as the screen has no room).

  18. Add Support for Multiple SMTP Servers

    Right now, you can specify 1 SMTP server on the company level and 1 SMTP server on the user level. A user can be assigned to send emails though either, but not both.

    I propose adding the ability to specify multiple SMTP servers on the company level.

    Then, the ability should be added when creating EVENTS to allow the selection of one of the multiple SMTP servers if an email event is being created.

    You should also be able to choose while SMTP server Mass Email would use, while still maintaining the override on the user level.

    This would allow…

  19. Recalculate Total Commission on order Header (Billing Screen) when line commission is changed to zero,

    Currently if COP Order line commission is changed to zero in CHANGE mode and the 3rd Billing screen was accessed before, the zero commission of the line is NOT part of the recalculated commission of the Header that is shown on the Billing screen. I discussed with Edward as i considered it as a bug, but Edward said that in some situations, users prefer this behavior.

    My idea is to add a flag that if user prefers that total commission will be recalculated and included zero commission lines, it will be done. I consider that as the "normal" behavior.
