Updates

 

V4.6  Updated the BFC import lock process to show who has the process locked and allow the user to directly navigate to the Lock Manager form if they are authorized to use it.

 

V4.2 Mod #1230: Updated the BFC Dakota purchase order import process to work with entrée.DOT Mod #995 the DOT Foods Interface add-on module.

 

V4.2 Mod #1217 & Mod #1230: Updated Receive by PO to display already received quantity, weight as well as show the received extended amount when BFC Inbound interface is active. Since all quantities and weight is received outside of entrée, the operator needs to understand what actually happened on the docks when executing the receipt in entrée.

Added the ability to select how cost changes should be applied when creating/changing the PO. This is done using the Edit P.O. Miscellaneous dialog which is a main stream feature in entrée. If the value is not explicitly set, existing behavior remains the same.

V4.1.3 Updated the BFC Dakota Export Compare Quantities utility to record lot numbers in new field ICLCNS.

 

V4.1

•Updated Create/Change PO to prevent Vendor Credit Memo purchase orders from being exported by the BFC Dakota Interface.

•Updated Change PO so when loading Vendor Credit Memo purchase orders from the BFC Dakota Interface they do not get canceled.

 

V4.0.42

•Updated the process that imports warehouse transfers to receive the Lot Location.

•Added a feature to allow the operator to update the lot costs of the "to" items.

V4.0.41 Added the P.O. Number and First Price information fields to the entrée P.O. fulfillment process when creating lot entries.

V4.0.36 Updated the “Recall Route” feature to purge pending entries from the BFC Invoice staging tables (BFCINVH and BFCINVD). If quantity and weight data for an invoice have already been imported from Dakota it can no longer be recalled.

 

V4.0.27  A review process has been added to Receive by Purchase Order which will check to see if any inventory has been received against the Purchase Order being processed. If no inventory has been received, a warning is presented to the operator which will give them the option of canceling out of the receipt.

 

V4.0.24 Change the Receiving process so that the “Average Weight” value of catchweight items will automatically be updated using the total of the original on-hand inventory plus the inventory just received. If the received item has a linked “case” or “piece” item then the “Average Weight” of the linked item will also be updated.
