AP Transaction Processing - Add distribution level reference
AP Transaction Processing - Add distribution level reference
Currently, AP Transaction Processing allows the entry of a Voucher Reference, which ultimately carries through to APDSTHST.APDSTHSTVOUCHERREF for every distribution made against that voucher.
Propose adding a distribution level reference, allowing a unique reference to be added for each distribution made against a voucher.
Add APTRXDST.NEWAPDISTREF
Add APDSTHST.APDSTHSTDIST_REF
Add both references to resultant APDISFIL record.Expand AP Invoice Import Utility Detail Record Layout to include DIST_REF.
This is particularly useful when processing vouchers for credit card statements - which often contain a variety of charges…

Security Setup option to change order regardless Pick Ticket Printed status
On the Global and User security, options 3 - 7 on screen 3, nicely control the user ability to add,and delete order and credit memo in COP but for change the control is only if Pick Ticket was printed. If you want to have the option NOT to allow a change, regardless the Pick Ticket status, it is impossible. For companies that do not print Pick ticket immediately, want to allow order entry (for Edit List or Print Acknowledgements) but not to allow a change of the order, it is a problem.

CPORDOPT/BMOPTFIL/IMKITFIL - expand QTY field size
Expand qty field size in CPORDOPT/BMOPTFIL/IMKITFIL so they are consistent with qty field size in CPORDLIN.
Adjust UI to reflect.

This requires a database change. This request should be made in the comment section under the Elliott V9 Changes Summary and Detail posting.
The quantity field in these tables is the quantity per parent field. This type of change would affect more than the three tables that are listed in this request. An enlargement to the quantity per parent field would affect the Product Structure file (BMPRSTR) as well as all of the corresponding production tables, engineering change tables, ATP, order invoice history, etc.
Woody, can you provide an example of where you require more than 9999 components per parent?

Save Customer or Item Record When Change Page
The new phantom locking feature does not lock customer or item in customer or item file change mode. Since both customer and item has 3 pages of data, sometime a user may change a field on the first screen, and go to second screen to change something further, the record do not get saved until past the 3rd page. If there's a conflict, many changes to the record may be lost. It would be nice if the system can save the record as user change from page to page, without waiting to the end. This way, if there's a conflict,…

It would seems this request break the Elliott convention. That is if a user hit ESC key before the last screen, then the screen is cleared and nothing will be saved.

Multiple 'Print to Screen' reports open - hard to figure out which is which
Our engineers and others sometimes have multiple 'Print to Screen' reports open at one time for viewing purposes. If they are minimized at the bottom of the computer screen it is really hard to determine which report is which. Much trial and error to find the one you need at the time. You only have the file name created by Elliott as a reference to try and find it. If it is a Bill of Material, it would be nice to have the Item Number for the bill appear on the file name. Same issue with multiple 'Print to Screen'…

This is not easily implementable. Reports are generally run for a range of items, customers, etc. This concept will not work for most cases.

Add "Pricing Category" to drive price calculation separate from "Product Category"
Sales/Cost of Sales account structure isn't always consistent with pricing strategies, and vice versa. Having a single Product Category that drives both (Sales/Cost of Sales Accounts AND Price Codes) sometimes creates scenarios where you must create redundant Product Categories (and subsequent Prod Cat/Location entries) OR must create redundant Price Code entries.
It would be nice if those two purposes could be split - leaving the traditional Product Category to drive Sales/Cost of Sales and establish a "Pricing Category" for reference in Price Code maintenance and subsequent price calculation.
This would afford the greatest flexibility and ease of maintenance in environments…

Allow an A Trx for Lot Item
Elliott doesn't allow an A (Adjust) trx for a Lot Item. This is done for the obvious reason of keeping the integrity between the Qty OH on the Item Master / Inventory Location and the Lot qty. But as we know there are situations that this is not the case. Elliott allows L transactions that allows to adjust ONLY the Lot. I suggest to allow A transactions (with a warning or Global setup right).

Default the amount on CC for PreA orders when doing billing to the Invoice total amount
When doing Billing for a PreA order on the payment window, user has to enter the total invoice amount. In most of the cases the amount is the total user amount so I don't see the reason to default to zero. For the cases user wants to be in full control and enters the amount, this can be a Global setup filed (Default to zero or Total invoice amount). Another option is to default to zero and have a F Key to use the total invoice amount as the amount. I saw situations where user entered the wrong amount instead…

In many situations, the purpose of the pre-authorization is ensure the credit card is valid so it can be used for future charge. Use the $0 pre-authorization will ensure the transaction does not show up on card owner’s side as a pending transaction. This may be desirable since the goods is not shipped yet.
If we default pre-authorization to order amount, then (1) Are we talking about qty-to-ship amount, or total order amount base on quantity order? (2) Do we have all the freight, misc. charge and sales tax figured out on the order. This can be a complicated subject with no good answer.
Conclusion, default pre-authorization amount to $0 create no harm. So we think that is a good default position to take in this case.

Item file import feature for ATP Period Summary
Would it be possible to add the feature of an Item file import
like what is available in Gross Requirements? This would allow
a focused view of part numbers.1 votedeclined ·AdminEdward M. Kwang - NETcellent System, Inc.
(CEO / Founder, NETcellent Systems, Inc.)

This support is available through the “Inventory Report Writer” now. This is accessible from I/M → Reports → Reorder Advice/User Defined CSV. The ATP Summary can be replaced by “User Defined CSV”. Moving forward we will not expand the functionality of various ATP reports. Instead, we are going to expand and improve the “User Defined CSV” so you can create your own reports. In your case, we believe the “User Defined CSV” can already do what you want. If you need help with the “User Defined CSV” application, let us know.

Customer delivery performance Report
Would it be possible to include an option/selection when running
the customer delivery performance report to allow the user to
select not only by customer number but also to what ship to location?
When dealing with large OEM customers it is common to have
other ship to locations. When running this report all data's are included in the output. You could be delivering 100% to 2 ship to locations but say a 3rd only at 90% on time delivery.

This is going to be difficult because to select a ship-to, you must be for certain customer only. But since the report give you a range of customers, this make the interface very difficult.

In Inquiry Screens,
In inquiry screens, allow PageUP/PageDown keys to loop beginning/end of return set.
For example, when doing an Order Inquiry, when you are on the first page, pushing the Page UP key (which doesn’t do anything at the moment, on the first page), would actually wrap you around to what would in fact be the last page. Make PageUP/PageDOWN work circularly through the return set, wrapping from the top to the bottom and the bottom to the top, as opposed to linearly, stopping at the bottom and stopping at the top like it does now.

The proposed idea would only be useful if the order database is small so the usefulness is limited. It does not appear to be a highly beneficial change.

Change Owner of Tracking Note Instead of Deleting It
This idea is to have the Invoice Post change the owner of the tracking note instead of deleting it or leaving it as a tracking note in the Order Header. The note would still be created for the invoice with the owner STARSHIP so it retains the tracking number lookup, but the note attached to the Order Header would change the owner to the user posting invoices if the invoice is partially posted (backorders exist). This would retain the tracking number, but the order would need a new tracking note to meet the Tracking Number Required criteria.

Customer Favorite Items
Elliott currently supports Wish List items, which are items that customers would like to buy but cannot for some reason at the moment the item is added to the wish list. Its a great reminder system to build sales.
The support for favorite items should also be added. Favorite items are basically a list of items the dealers likes to order. The process to add an item to a dealer's favorite list could be handled in sales desk similar to the wish list items. Any active item could be added to a favorite list.
Users should be able to view…

Add inventory location while in transaction processing.
I would like to add inventory to a location in the inventory transaction screen. The warning is fine, but then have an "Ok to add Y/N" question. It's very time consuming when we add a new location or new product structure to leave the screen and put the item in the location control file.

Cash receipt Import - Allow over payment and Allowence
When importing a detailed cash receipt, Elliott doesn't allow over payment to an invoice. I suggest to allow over payment as this might happen. In addition, cash receipt csv might have an allowance line (a deduction). it will be nice to allow the allowance to go through as a negative cash receipt as well.

We believe there’s some significant negative consequence if we should do this. We think the over payment should be handled manually due to the special scenario.
