Enhancements to Review• CRP and Simulation (Bug ID 1910)• Credit Process Management (Bug ID 1629)• Return to Vendor (Bug ID ) (If time permits)

CRP and Simulation

Agenda• Overview• Quick Demo• Functional highlights and demonstration• Q & A

Overview• Allows users to run what if simulations and use shop

floor scheduling tools to view capacity requirements. – Similar in concept to MRP companies that are often setup

for customer to run MRP over multiple locations at the same time

Overview• New Workbench with tools to:

– Modify/Import MPS forecast and firm planned orders– Modify/Import MRP forecast and firm planned orders– Rerun MRP – Copy to Review file– Create shop orders– View Shop Floor schedule/requirements

• Workbench is called from Live company so it is seamlessly integrated from a user perspective

Overview• Can create multiple CRP companies tied to one Live

company• New tool to create CRP company

users from accidentally updating Live company (allocations, etc.) when running simulations or thinking they are processing orders in Live company

Q & A

Credit Process Management Overview

Agenda• Overview• Credit status table enhancements• New order process status table• New Order Process history table• Order flow• Summary of Changes• Questions

Overview• Credit Process Management is designed to separate

credit status from order status. • It was designed to address common complaints from

customers– Enhanced credit algorithms

– Improved and refined process control• Planning• Production• Forms• Shipping

Overview• Order status code will no longer be tied to credit

– Will still affect printing/processing same as always– This will allow customers with legacy workflows tied to

order status to continue with no changes• Order can have a status of A but have failed credit or

have functions not allowed

Overview• Taking advantage of the new credit process we will

effectively add a second order process control• This will facilitate functions like engineering

requirements that are similar but distinct from credit
