StockPlan version history

System Setting 'Use Live History'

A new 'Use Live History' System Setting has been added to the System Settings > Misc page.

When ticked StockPlan will read all history directly live from the Exchequer system and updating the History from Exchequer via the 'Update From Exchequer' process will no longer be necessary.

Two big benefits of this new setting are firstly that the history will always be up to date and secondly the 'Update from Exchequer' process should be much quicker as it no longer need include the History.

NOTE - This option is currently only available when using the Microsoft SQL version of Exchequer.

System Setting 'Use XLSX'

A new 'Use XLSX' System Setting has been added to the System Settings > Misc page.

When ticked all Excel Export & Imports will be in the newer XLSX format rather than the old Excel 97-03 format.

Purchase Order Creation - Stock UDF Fields

All 16 stock udf fields are now available for inclusion in the Purchase Order Creation screen.

Works Order Layouts

A new option has been added to the works order print layouts to print all known Multi-Bins (that have some quantity) below each component item that uses Multi-Bins. This could be useful if you print the works orders/component lists prior to picking to let the Picker know which Bins to consider.

Omit Locations Functionality

The new STOCK_OMIT list enables stock held at omitted locations to be excluded but the sales history for those same locations to be included.

System Setting (Misc page) 'Always Apply Uplift/Wastage'

If the new 'Always Apply Uplift/Wastage' is ticked, items added to the Purchase & Works Orders creation lists 'back-to-back' from Sales Transactions or Works Orders will have their quantities uplifted by the Uplift/Wastage percentage from the items options (factoring page).

Works Order Explode Sub Assemblies

When components for sub assemblies are automatically exploded onto the components list of a work order they will now be positioned directly under the sub assembly to which they relate, previously they were appended to the bottom of the list.
