Agility version 3.0.2 is now available for wide release, and brings
enhancements for every line of business. There is a lot more functionality
added than we have room to discuss here, so here are the highlights.
Long Lead Processing:
When you take an order for product
that will ship in the future, you may not want to consume your current on
hand inventory. The new long lead processing functionality automatically
sets these orders to be filled in the future, freeing current available
quantity for short term deliveries. A long lead processing program, run
typically daily after hours, will search for and commit material to that
order based on your business rules. This enhancement also provides better
scheduling for millwork parent items.
Alternate Item Functionality:
You can set up alternates to
automatically replace an item if there is not enough quantity of the
ordered item, or you can set up alternates to display while entering the
order whether there is a sufficient quantity or not. Perfect for direct
substitutions or discontinued items! It is also a great way to manage
vendor-consigned inventory so that you sell your "owned" inventory first.
Sheet Goods Item Type:
This new item type designed for
plywood and laminates allows for multiple widths and lengths under a
single item code, similar to Hardwood-PC, but with a twist: you can
specify whether the width and/or length is in inches, feet or another UOM.
Mobile Receiving:
Another addition to our suite of Mobile
Solutions applications. Use handheld scanners to receive material on a
purchase order or across multiple purchase orders. This enhancement
reduces receiving errors by eliminating data entry errors going from
handwritten information on a PO check in list and gets your receiving done
in real time.
AP Entry Redesign:
When you receive a single vendor invoice
that covers multiple PO's, this feature allows you to enter that invoice
against those PO's without using the AP Recon ID function. At the same
time, the screen was redesigned to eliminate unnecessary keystrokes, add
in AP Recon details, and merged the one-step payment function together
with AP invoice entry.
Other enhancements of note:
- Enhanced Marvin Interface -- including using Mobile Receiving to
scan Marvin barcodes
- Completion of interface to routing software
- Mass update for customer records -- update multiple fields on
multiple records across multiple branches
- Item Cross Reference enhancement to support GTIN
- Print laser forms to pull from multiple trays
- Print AP checks with MICR encoding
- Date exceptions to exclude holidays from delivery dates and
scheduling calculations
- Cycle counting parameters to automatically create workfiles based on
a schedule
- Interfaces to Windsor Windows, AMSCO Windows & Cascade Windows
