16 Drag and Drop Scheduling for Tablet Drag and Drop Dispatch List App Okuma Kuraki Puma Mazak

17 Status Changes Ability to change the status from Finished back to In-progress

18 Labels Labels for inbound and outbound shipments: Receiving labels: originating in the Purchase Receipt process can be printed on standard ¼ page labels using a standard printer we suggest red labels for product that requires inspection and green labels for product that is released to production. Shipping labels: originating in the Shipping process can be printed on a standard office printer often we find that certain customers have special requirements whereas other customers would use your default label we have the ability to print several formats.

19 Import BOM Importing data from CAD: Production Bill of Material upload: we have the ability to upload your CAD parts list into NAV s production bill of material. This feature uses Excel and uploads to NAV s built-in edits to ensuring data is clean.

20 Movement App Item Movement App > Scans product barcodes to move (ie. Truck Inventory)

21 Long Descriptions and Specifications Long Descriptions and specifications: when standard NAV descriptions of 50 characters are just not enough. We have developed functions that manufacturing companies need to communicate with customers, suppliers and manufacturing floor; these include: Item Long Description: a feature which allows a 250 character description of Items that can be optionally printed on outward facing reports such as Order Acknowledgements, Packing Lists, Invoices, Purchase Orders. The Long description automatically truncates to the first 50 characters and populates NAV s standard Item description and is used system wide in a plethora of reports. Resource Long Description: a similar feature to the Item Long Description for a better definition of the Resources Sales [Item] Specification: a very large description that is associated to Sales items and can be optionally printed on Sales documents this feature is used to detail sales related information about the Item, examples: features list, safety requirements, limits and exclusions, The feature uses most Word functions and can be pasted into. Purchasing [Item] Specification: similar to Sales Specifications except that it is associated to Purchased items and can be optionally printed on Purchase documents this feature is used to detail purchase information to your suppliers, examples: tolerances, must-haves, packaging, Manufacturing [Item] Specification: similar to Sales and Purchasing Specification except they are intended for Manufacturing use usually used for handling, special characteristics, safety documentation.

22 Direct Purchase/Quote to Production Order Purchase Items to a Production Order directly: from the Production Order we can create a Purchase Order that can be actioned and received into inventory. Bypasses the need for the material planning processes.

23 Work Order Traveller Work Order Traveller similar to Visual Mfg. 1 page with both materials and labor separate page breaks for each subassembly

24 Bulk Accept Messages in Planning Worksheets Accept Action messages on Planning Worksheet: standard NAV requires a checkbox to accept a suggested action (Production Order, Purchase Order, Transfer Order) and in a normal Manufacturing plant this could be a very long list. We have developed functionality to filter on specific attributes and with a click you can select or deselect the Action messages.

25 Bulk status changes on production orders Change status on selected Production Orders: standard NAV requires that you change status on Orders one-at-atime, this can be a very long list and a very tedious task. We have developed functionality to change status on either a filtered list or a selected list.

26 What s Included with our Solution Sales Order On Hold : we have developed functionality that can place a Sales Order on hold while administration takes its course. An order on hold cannot be shipped; however cash receipts can still be recorded on the customer and other orders can be shipped to same customer. Examples: weather sensitive shipments can be placed on hold until a favourable forecast is in sight, entry papers not in place, requires special handling equipment,.

27 Over/Under Receive and Ship Over/under receive Purchase Orders: we have developed functionality that permits over or under receiving a PO. The function records the original Purchase quantity and uses actual received as the inventory update. Metrics can be developed to rank vendor by their ability to deliver as ordered.

28 Copy Production Order Production Order copy: standard NAV does not have a copy feature for Production Orders we created a function.

29 Partial Completion Reporting Reporting partial completion: this feature triggers consumption based on a partial receipt.

30 Search Lists Transaction Lists: the era of reports is quickly disappearing, a well filtered list can be the equivalent of many hard coded reports replacing the need for formal reports with lists that can interrogated or exported to Excel or Word. We have added several transactional lists which are viewable, filterable, exportable and up-to-date. Included in our additional lists are: Sales Order Lines Posted Sales Invoice Lines Posted Sales Shipment Lines Purchase Order Lines Posted Purchase Receipt Lines Posted Purchase Invoice Lines

31 Flow Field Improvements Improved references on table views: we have added detail to several table views are not exposed in standard NAV. These data use the concept of flow fields which really means the information we are associating is contained in another table which would normally not be accessible in the same view, for instance an account reference would typically be related to a Vendor No or Customer No and to find out the name you would have to go to another view we have made the link for you. We have added this feature to many views. examples include: Vendor name on accounting transactions (payment journal) Vendor or customer name on general ledger transactions Vendor Name
