New Delayed CAC Statuses
New delayed CAC status codes were added to this release. The CAC statuses were added to both the workbenches CAC functions and the EE role-based CAC browse collections.
The system retrieves production order component detail records when CAC is enabled through user preferences in the Planning and Scheduling Workbenches Preferences window. The system calculates CAC statuses when it returns data from your initial search for records and displays the production order component status of each production order retrieved. Results are shown in the Component Status column within the Sequence Grid. New statuses that display include:
|
•
|
Authorized receipts delayed
|
The production order item is covered by authorized receipts but the authorized receipts have a due date in the past.
|
•
|
Scheduled receipts delayed
|
The production order item is covered by scheduled receipts but the scheduled receipts have a due date in the past.
Pull-Down Windows Added to Fields
The following fields within Production Order Maintenance Details tab in the workbenches now have pull-down windows that let you select the field entry:
Fixes
The Planning and Scheduling Workbenches maintenance release for 2010.1 EE fixes the following defects:

Description
|
|
QPS-1313
|
The Planning and Scheduling Workbenches now work properly with different cultures/locales. Previously, a PC Locale of German resulted in a breakage due to a change in the format of a string date.
|
|
QPS-1555
|
Text within the MSW order comments now wraps correctly to the next line when you display comments.
|
|
QPS-1556
|
The MSW now correctly displays Item-Site Planning (1.4.17), not Item Data Master (1.4.1), information on the shortage report when item-site data exist. Since each site may have completely different item-site planning data set up for an item, item-site data now correctly takes precedence over item master data.
|
|
QPS-1557
|
The Scrap Transaction (18.22.18) now correctly applies the scrap quantity to scheduled production orders.
|
|
QPS-1558
|
The system now correctly saves the value of the Lot Number field in the Compliance Tab of the Planning and Scheduling Workbenches for production orders.
|
|
QPS-1559
|
The component availability check (CAC) process now correctly merges updated data when you sequence production orders that display in the PSW for a production line, then save your changes. Previously, the CAC merge process started, then did not complete, causing an error message to display.
|
|
QPS-1560
|
The system no longer displays incorrect errors and warnings in the Planning and Scheduling Workbenches when you:
|
•
|
Disable Compliance in Compliance Control (1.22.24).
|
|
•
|
Create a new production order in the Production Order Maintenance panel.
|
|
•
|
Enable the Active field in the Production Order Maintenance Compliance tab.
|
|
•
|
Save the newly created production order.
|
Previously, with this scenario, the system displayed an incorrect message regarding the active state of compliance. Then, after you saved the production order, the workbenches regarded the order as new, even though it actually saved the order.
|
|
QPS-1575
|
The workbenches no longer display a message, informing you that it was unable to cast from DBNull to string after you created a succession of new production orders for various items and/or production lines.
|
|
QPS-1579
|
New selection fields to include P(lanned), F(irm) Planned, E(xploded), A(llocated), and/or R(eleased) production orders were added to the reports and inquiries of the Capacity Requirements Planning (24) menu. Since the workbenches generate capacity loads for planned orders, planned order load was being included in the capacity load reports and inquiries. The new fields let you include or exclude load for orders of any status from the capacity load reports and inquiries.
|
|
QPS-1580
|
Material availability check functions within the CAC portions of the workbenches now display the component status for global phantom items with an E(xploded) status. Previously, QAD EE repetitive functions displayed the status of global phantom components with a repetitive E(xploded) status, but the workbench CAC functions did not. The workbenches are now synchronized with this functionality.
|
|
QPS-1583
|
CAC performance was improved through a change wherein the CAC horizon now correctly defines the production order records that the CAC engine processes. For example, when you set the CAC horizon to seven days, the CAC engine processes only production orders with release dates less than or equal to today + seven. Now that the system correctly applies the CAC horizon preference setting, the number of work orders processed by CAC is reduced, thereby, increasing CAC processing time. Previously, the CAC horizon was ignored by the backend processing of production order records so that the CAC horizon preference setting was not being fully applied to reduce the number of work orders processed by CAC. Also, the default CAC horizon was changed from 30 to seven days.
|
|
QPS-1586
|
Problems caused by relational data integrity were corrected so that the workbenches no longer display a message, informing you of unsaved changes, when you enter a number in a Schedule Grid cell, then click Tab to get out of the cell, save, then re-search for records. Previously, the number you entered in the cell, using the above scenario, vanished, even though the system created an entry in the Production Order Maintenance panel. And, once you saved, then re-searched for records, the system displayed a message, informing you of unsaved changes.
|
|
QPS-1588
|
Data retrieval work order master and detail performance was improved through internal code changes.
|
|
QPS-1590
|
The QAD EE Advanced Repetitive Picklist Calculation (18.22.3.1) no longer calculates an incorrect quantity if you split an order in the workbenches.
|
|
QPS-1591
|
When you enter data and select Next in the Production Line Maintenance (18.22.1.1) Item frame, the system no longer exits without saving. Previously, when you maintained or added a production line in the program, the system exited, saved the header data, did not save item data, and did not display an error or message.
|
|
QPS-1598
|
SSM and PRM production orders with a non-blank FSM Type other than RMA no longer cause the MSW search to return an error, stating that the system was unable to process the request.
|
|
QPS-1602
|
In the PSW Sequence Grid, the system no longer returns a data error when you unassign a previously assigned shift to a production order.
|
|
QPS-1603
|
The workbenches no longer lock when you move a production order from the source to a destination production line; for example, when you move a production order from production line A to production line B. This typically occurred when only one production order record existed for the item.
