Add Job Number to IM/AR/AP distribution files
Add Job Number, etc. to IM/AR/AP/etc. distribution files (similar to BMDISFIL)
The new BMDISFIL is a tremendous source of information, containing far more relevant fields from the originating transaction than the other distribution files. Would like to see the other subledger files expanded to include relevant data from the originating transaction, similar to the BMDISFIL, including but not limited to the job number.

Direct Ship Orders
Our business model is 90% direct ship orders. Right now there is no correlation between the Sales Order and the Purchase Order number which is causing us lots of issues due to the volume of orders we take. I've been told there is nothing on the table to assist with this. One idea given to me is to use the job # field for both the Sales/Purchase Order for a stop gap. That is great, but I have to run a report on the PO side in order to find the Job#. I'd like to be able to query the…

Partially Received Purchase Order Utility
Currently when receiving a partial shipment against a purchase order we are able to record the receipt and the PO inquiry shows the original order and received quantity correctly. This creates a "back order" quantity due on the PO. Item quantities on order fields show the back orders still open as long as the PO is not closed during receiving.
Reprinting the PO shows the original item Quantity and extends the amounts based on the original quantity.
It would be helpful to have a utility to reprint partially received POs showing the back order quantity and the new item extensions.…

Send a warning before saving a change of an econtact's email
We had the following situation on a customer site:
1. User intended to add a "faked" email address. This adress is added to customers that do not want to receive an email for the invoice and do not need a printed invoice. (a hard copy of the invoice is delivered and when running duplicate invoice (after posting), it is not necessary to get a hard copy or an email). This is a valid process.
2. After adding the faked email econtct, user changed the email address to one of the real emails of this customers. This was a mistake.

Shipment Verification display option of items not scanned
With orders of over 120 line items it is tedious to check for items not scanned. An option for items not completely filled that includes the bin location and UPC code would be handy.

It is possible to provide a special function to show items not confirmed. If we should do this, then we should also provide a function to show items that’s confirmed. We will review this.

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…

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…

Shipping Verification and Non-Stock items
Shipping Verification will force non-stocked items into Box 1, regardless of what box is actually being filled.
At Mercer Tool, there are many items purchased from an outside source, typically for one-off shipments - that would make no sense to set up as Stocked. Often these are custom made, and are shipped complete as soon as they arrive.
However, since they are not set up as stocked, shipping verification doesn't work as planned, since all these items will go into Box 1 automatically. Often these items are heavy, and can not all be forced into the same box.
Please consider…

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.

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).

Shipping Confirmation Lot Processing, assign a lot to a new line created by the system
When doing shipping confirmation with a lot item, and Elliott suggest to add a line because there is not enough quantity in a selected lot, the NEW line is NOT available to be selected with additional lot. I understand the reason as the new line was not part of the original lines marked as selected (with X). The fix for this situation is pretty easy (Cybermac did it for PolyGel and will be glad to share with Netcellent). Otherwise user has to exit the selection and come back in order to select the new line.

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.

In addition to the potential complicated programming effort, I think the main issue is security. It is obvious that we don’t want all people who enter a credit memo also perform credit card refund. This may be something we can evaluate again in Elliott V9.

Do Not Print Line Items on Pick Ticket If Order Is To Be Put on Hold
In Global Setup -> Cop-Func -> Pick Ticket/Ship Label, there's a flag "38. Print Pick Ticket if Put on Hold ?" Some users set this flag to "Y" so the pick ticket hard code will still be printed. Even though there's a big warning message in "*" to ask picker not to ship, but sometime the order still get shipped anyway. Therefore, it is suggested that if the pick ticket is going to be printed when the order is to put on hold, do not print the line items on pick ticket. This way, we can prevent user from ignoring…

Is there a way to designate different expense accounts for different pay expense account for sick, vacation, FUTA, SUTA?
When running payroll only one expense account is the default for sick, vacation, FUTA, SUTA, FICA. Is it possible to assign different expense accounts depending on the employee type so for example office salaries verses warehouse hourly employees are coded with differing wage expense account and corresponding tax accounts for profit center accounting. Right now I am doing a manual adjustment while running payroll for wage accounts in time transaction processing. Then at the end of the month I am manually figuring out how much tax for certain employee types need to be journaled to the correct corresponding tax account.

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.
