See the details.

More Info, Fewer Clicks

  • The Show box button & most toggles are gone -- the information is displayed, no click required.

  • Runtime, Sort, Selection and Program options:

    • You can sort on any displayed field(s) in inquiries and you can set different sort fields for summary and detail displays.

    • Specifying sort order has been simplified in most inquiries

    • The Selection tab is displayed when you enter program options

    • The option screen is always displayed before a report runs

  • “Check box” programs to select records from a list:

    • Drills and line-related functions are immediately accessible (i.e., you don’t have to click a long bar to get to them).

    • You can double-click anywhere on a line to select it (i.e., you don’t have to move the cursor to the Sel column).

    • You can resort data by clicking on a column heading, reorganize the screen by moving columns around, and change column widths.

  • Lookups:

    • No more Restart at button: just enter the starting characters and click Refresh.

    • Lots more sort-by fields – and all offer a descending option. Refresh displays with sort-by field listed first.

And Features! Features! Features!

  • PowerShift Job Scheduler

    • More processes can be run by the PowerShift Job Scheduler (JOBS), including:
      -   EIS Calculations (EMX)
      -   Capacity Requirements Planning (MCP)
      -   Standard Cost Rollup (MCR)
      -   Accumulated Lead Time Calculation (MLT)
      -   Priority Dispatch Report (MPD)

    • You can save multiple sets of options for registers so that different options can be used when a register is run by the job scheduler than when the same register is run from the entry program.

  • More Control of Vendor Shipments for Outside Services & PO Returns
    A system option controls whether vendor shipments are confirmed when they are created or if you confirm using the new Vendor Shipment Confirmation (VSC/RFVSC) program. Having a separate confirmation step allows you to tell the system when the items are physically being shipped to the vendor; up to that point, you can make changes to the purchase order, if necessary.

  • Mobile app support

  • Sales order copy, PO copy and line split functions

  • Automatically transfer user fields from one application to another!
    For example, transfer item user fields (from IM or IMB) to orders (i.e., OE, VOE, MIM) or bills of material (i.e., MPS).

  • Store audit trails & GL journals in separate directories

  • Expanded linking between manufacturing orders and the orders they fill

  • Expanded ability to import documents
    The Documents button is available in inventory, customer and vendor processing, AP invoice, AR payment, and receiving and inspection programs (as well as in the sales, manufacturing and purchase order maintenance programs where it was introduced).

  • Fully-intergrated credit card payment processing

  • Field security on address fields

  • Expanded landed cost reporting

  • RF/Barcodes

    • Wherever Item is prompted by the RF programs, you can scan the item's barcode for package, master pack or pallet.

    • The Consolidated Picking List Print (MSPK) optionally prints barcoded component item numbers.

    • Print Vendor Shipment (RTSP) optionally prints barcoded order/shipment number.

  • Document messages can include practically anything*

  • You can display practically anything* on ISQ, MIM, OE and VOE screens
