Enhancements

Improved Production Scheduling

With this release, the Production Scheduling application was updated to track and prioritize the overall workstation schedule, replacing the process-based view previously used.

Users can still view schedules by Process using the filter at the bottom of the Workstation column. Other changes include adding a column for Process when viewing the workstation Summary. Changing priority using the Move Up/Move Down buttons will only be allowed when the Filter by Process is set to All Processes.

Included in the change is the accounting of the Estimated Hours for each workstation to include all processes associated with the workstation. When selecting Detail mode, you can now enter Estimated Time, which will update the related Production Order line and the Estimated Time for the workstation. 

These changes make schedules easier to manage at each workstation and provide clearer visibility into production timing.

Return to Inventory Option in Production Processing

A new Return to Inventory field has been added to Production Order Entry and Post Production for Coil products. The new feature allows production managers to properly track leftover inventory that was not used and is going back into inventory.

The new field will display for selected BTS lines, which will exclude the line from calculations regarding scrap, usage, weight used, and value added. To be eligible, the product code for the line must be identical to the master product code, not connected to a sales order, and the length must be 0, indicating that it's a Coil product. 

Two additional fields, Weight Used and Weight Returned to Inventory, have been added. Weight Used is the master weight minus the weight returned to inventory and Weight Returned to Inventory will be the sum of any lines checked with that value. In addition, the Scrap Weight calculation and Scrap % will now use the Weight Used field as the basis for the scrap values. This improves the overall accuracy of the scrap calculations.

As shown below, the Pre-Register and Register have been updated to include a new Returned to Inventory section just beneath the source material line. The cost of the return to inventory will be identical to the master tag's cost. Finally, the totals at the bottom will reflect the changes in scrap % calculations, which will now be based on the Weight Used (master weight minus the weight returned to inventory). 

Ready to Ship Report Shows "In Process" Production Order Weight

The Ready to Ship report in Command Center was updated to include missing production order data and ensure all eligible orders display correctly. For example, W tags that are in process as part of a production order will now show in the report. Staff can rely on the report to show a complete view of orders that are ready to ship or in process.

Charge Different Inbound and Outbound Storage Billing Fees

Storage Billing was modified so inbound and outbound units of measure are handled separately rather than linked to the monthly storage UM. This allows storage charges to be calculated with more specificity—for example, charging by weight for monthly storage but per item on inbound and outbound transportation.

Other Enhancements

• API: The EAPI_AddDocImage function was expanded to allow invoice-related attachments such as scanned delivery receipts. Send "SL" as a DocType for a Shipper Load.
• Accounts Receivable: The AR Ledger Card was optimized to improve load performance for customers with extensive data history. The screen now opens reliably without freezing.
• Forms: French-language forms were updated to display the Secondary Description from item master when it exists. Forms now show complete product details when using the Secondary Description feature.
• Receiving: Tag previewing and printing was optimized in Receiving to improve performance.
• Receiving: Receiving was enhanced to accept quantities entered in kilograms with automatic conversion to pounds. This enables smoother receiving for metric-based vendors while keeping inventory values consistent.

Bug Fixes

Enmark Pay

• Command Center: Command Center logic was updated so canceled prepaid lines cannot be uncanceled. Cancels remain enforced once prepayment is received.
• Command Center: Inadvertently canceling, deleting, adding lines, or adjusting price matrices after prepayment is now prevented. Orders remain consistent with applied payments.

• Reverse Cash Receipts: An exception was fixed in the prepayment reversal process after a write-off. Prepayment reversals now post correctly.

   

General Fixes

• Application Control: Fixed an exception when opening the Validations section of Application Control.
• Application Control: Fixed an issue in Application Control where default form values were being removed in specific circumstances.
• Back Orders: Back Order Release logic was corrected so overshipped releases no longer fail to reduce open quantities. The release setting now works as intended.
• Billing: Invoice processing was corrected so the Country field displays properly. Invoices now print with the correct country information in all cases.
• Billing: Fixed an exception in Billing when a Direct Buyout, Non-inventory Purchase Order is created through the Command Center.
• Command Center: The conversion from non-metric Sales Orders to metric Quotes was corrected to prevent exceptions. Orders now convert without error.
• Command Center: Blanket Order releases in Command Center were corrected so costs and charges are calculated correctly based on the original blanket order. New releases now match expected pricing.
• Command Center: Copying a line from an existing quote was fixed so Thickness, Min, and Max gauge values are carried over correctly. Copied lines now match the original without resetting to zero, ensuring accurate quotes.
• Command Center: Fixed an issue where hard reserves were not saving in Command Center in certain circumstances when the tag reserved has inventory in two locations.
• Command Center: Fixed an exception in Command Center when saving a child order from a parent blanket order that has tags hard reserved.
• Cutting: The Add Order Line BTS process in Cutting was corrected so new lines always attach to the correct master tag, regardless of cursor position in the Pcs to Cut field. This eliminates incorrect line assignments.
• Cutting: Fixed an issue in Cutting where the cutting charge was not pulling as expected from the Cutting and Process Matrix in some circumstances.
• Inventory Grids: Fixed an issue in inventory grids where chemical and physical columns were displaying by default rather than only being displayed when enabled for display by a user.
• Package Tags: Posting logic for SWP/Package Tags was fixed so errors no longer occur during processing. Tags now post successfully.
• Processing POs: Processing PO attachments were corrected to prevent duplicate rows from appearing for each finished material item in certain circumstances. Each attachment now shows only once.
• Production: Toll Processing in Production was corrected so Owner Material restrictions apply the same way as in Command Center: only allowing Owner Material to be allocated when owned by a customer. Restrictions are now enforced consistently.
• Production Orders: Dropdown menus in Production Order Entry were corrected to display with full scrollbars. All options are now visible, preventing cut-off selections during entry.
• Production Orders: Production Order Line Comments now carry through to master tags immediately after allocation. Notes also now print as expected.
• Post-Production: The Post-Production Merge Bundles process was corrected so merged bundles now update consistently. This prevents data mismatches between bundles and reporting.
• PPO Completion and Shipping: U Tags with multiple quantities can be allocated and updated correctly. Allocation now works without error.
• Purchasing: Deleting a line in Purchasing was corrected so Report Writer now re-sequences remaining lines automatically. Line numbering stays consistent without manual updates.
• Reservations: Processing Reservations was corrected so hard reservations can now be placed on specific tags. Reservation errors no longer occur.
• Shipping: Shipping was corrected so heat numbers on tags remain unchanged after inventory adjustments. This prevents reverted values and keeps traceability intact.
