RamBase release info - week 48 - 2025

Classification:  IMPORTANT

A new setting,Trace individually when traceable material, has been added under the Main data tab in the Product (ART) application, allowing for better traceability of parts in the Life cycle management (LCM) part list. When enabled, parts with multiple pieces in a product structure will be split into individual lines: one piece per line. This action was previously connected to the require serial number setting. When the Trace individually when traceable material setting is disabled, the total quantity of parts with multiple pieces in a product structure will appear in a single line in the Life cycle management (LCM) part list. This is the default setting of the Product (ART) application.

An automatic conversion on customer databases will be performed before enabling the new feature. The conversion will automatically set Trace individually when traceable material on all items that have require serial number set, so that the application functions as before.

We are pleased to introduce an update to the Job order management (POD) application that enhances the handling of materials within the Job order management (POD) process. This release introduces a new, more structured alternative route for shipment of materials, aligning the process with standard Rambase logistics workflows.

The existing process will continue to be available, while the new option provides greater consistency and efficiency in material handling.

Key improvements in this release include:

• A new material flow where the Shipping advice (CSA) is created before materials are picked and shipped

• Integration with ordinary logistics functions for shipping and stock handling

• A new configuration setting to enable or disable the updated workflow

• Updated Job order management (POD) interface (Desktop and POD Mobile) with new fields and CMIs

If the new setting is not activated, the system will continue to function as before. However, users will still notice the new interface elements and minor changes in existing components.

These updates aim to streamline operations and improve visibility in material management within Job order management (POD) application.

Conversions have now been completed and this will be released today, one (1) day later than initially announced.

Thank you for your patience.

This update applies to your company if:

• You are using Operations (OPR) with the Require serial number before completion checkpoint enabled, and these Operations (OPR) are included in Production structures (KITDOC).

If so, please read the included PDF, "Enhanced serial number validation for Product units (LCM)".

To make the transition easier, we offered to run a job that automatically updates all parts where Is traceable material of product unit is already turned on. These are the parts that are already included in the Life cycle management (LCM) part list. 

This offer was only available for customers who already use serial number validation in operations, with a deadline of 23 October 2025.

If you still wish to run the job, please open a ticket with the title "Late request to run job to update traceable material".

We are now providing greater flexibility in deciding when serial numbers are required for parts in production. This update introduces configurable options at multiple levels, ensuring better traceability and compliance.

Challenge

Previously, serial number validation might unnecessarily block production when serial numbers were not needed for every part.

Solution

The updated logic introduces layered control across multiple applications.

• Operation (OPR) application:

            Enable Require serial number before completion checkbox to enforce serial number validation before completing a Work order operation (WOO).

• Product (ART) application

            Use Require serial number when traceable material checkbox to set default behavior for parts in the Product unit (LCM).

• Product unit/Life cycle management (LCM) application

            Override requirements for individual parts using the Req serialno checkbox in the Part List.

• Production/Product structure level (KITARTOPRITM / KITDOCOPRITM)

            Enable CheckSerialnoOnParts checkbox to enforce checks during production for specific operations.

Classification:  IMPORTANT

We’re enhancing how wastage is calculated in Production structures (KITDOC) to improve accuracy in material planning and cost estimation.

Background

In manufacturing, wastage typically occurs in two forms:

• Startup Wastage: Fixed quantity lost at the beginning of each production run.

• Running Wastage: Percentage-based loss relative to the produced quantity.

Previously, RamBase only applied the fixed wastage quantity when both types were specified, leading to inaccurate planning and tracking.

Problem

• Percentage-based wastage was ignored, even when entered.

• This caused incorrect inventory reservations, purchasing decisions, and cost estimations.

• Additionally, incorrect wastage linking occurred after splitting a Production work order (PWO) without starting Work order operations (WOO).

Solution

The system now:

• Includes both fixed and percentage-based wastage in total quantity calculations when both are specified in the Production structure (KITDOC).

• Correctly handles wastage during Production work order (PWO) splits, even if no Work order operations (WOO) have started and all materials are picked.

Key Behavior

• More accurate material consumption tracking.

• Improved inventory planning and reduced risk of shortages or overstock.

• Better cost estimation for production runs of varying sizes.

The goal of assigning serial numbers to individual Product units (LCM) is to make sure that its history is identifiable as it travels through the supply chain.

We are now making changes to how the validation logic functions when serial numbers are added through manual input via the Life cycle management (LCM) application.

Validation logic to be replaced

From the Life cycle management (LCM) application, users could previously enter any serial number into the SerialNo field in the Part list tab and in the Change LCM Part popup:

• The entry was accepted if the entered serial number was available and existed in the Serial numbers (SNO) archive for Goods reception (SSA).

• But if the serial number was already in use, then the manual input was rejected.

• However, if the serial number was not found in the Serial numbers (SNO) archive, it was also accepted, regardless of whether the Goods reception (SSA) contained serial numbers, or not.

This logic could sometimes lead to traceability issues.

To simplify the rules and to improve upon the integrity of serial numbers we are therefore making the following changes:

New validation logic

Manual entries in the Life cycle management (LCM) application will now check the Goods reception (SSA) quantity against the Serial numbers (SNO) quantity.

• If there is a quantity mismatch, no validation will be done except for serial numbers defined in the Goods reception (SSA) that are also used by any other Product unit (LCM).

  • An error message will inform the user, if the serial number is in use.

  • Any available serial number can be added via the previously mentioned fields in the Life cycle management (LCM) application.

• If there is a quantity match, a validation will be run and all serial numbers must be available in the Serial numbers (SNO) archive.

  • If those criteria are met, the entry will be accepted.

Please note that an earlier version was previously released, but required to be rolled back due to unforeseen consequences.

Classification:  IMPORTANT

In manufacturing, outsourced operations are Operations (OPR) in the Production structure (KITDOC), performed by a Production resource (RESCONFIG) of Type = External. The external production resource is a supplier that is performing a job on the product, and the job may be done at the suppliers site/factory.

Naturally, this implies that outsourced operations requires processes for purchase, outbound logistics and inbound logistics.

For outsourced operations, the Requested delivery date calculations were based on these factors:

• The external Operation’s (OPR) Planned start date.

• Which could then be subtracted with an optional margin specified in the Company setting (CSV), Delivery and request date margin days.

We are now planning on improving the accuracy of the Requested delivery date calculations for outsourced operations as the current solution can create inaccuracies.

Changes:

• For Products (ART) of Type = WX, the Requested delivery date will now be based on the outsourced Operation’s (OPR) Planned finished at date.

• The Planned finished at date can then be subtracted with an optional margin specified in a new Company setting (CSV), Margin days for outsource operation's required delivery date.  

The new calculations will impact several critical areas of RamBase and it is useful to know that if the Company setting (CSV), Margin days for outsource operation's required delivery date is set to '0' or 'OFF, only the Planned finished at date will be used in calculating the Requested delivery date.

Note that this only applies to outsourced operations and that the calculations for material needs, Products (ART) of TYPE = P, K, KA etc., will still use the current factors:

The Operation’s (OPR) Planned start date subtracted by the optional Company setting (CSV), Delivery and request date margin days.

RamBase release info - week 11 - 2025

Classification:  IMPORTANT

We have made significant improvements to the ARTUPLOAD functionality. The updated solution is now more user-friendly and comprehensible, particularly regarding error handling and field naming. Errors are no longer showstoppers—if one line fails validation, it is logged, and the import continues seamlessly with subsequent lines.

Additionally, older, less intuitive field names have been replaced with clear, standardized API names, making it easier to work with and understand the data.

With these changes, data imports are more reliable, errors are easier to diagnose, and the overall ARTUPLOAD process is significantly more user-friendly.

Summary of Changes

1. Enhanced pre-validation

   • Additional checks are performed before data is passed to the standard update methods.

2. Improved error handling

   • All errors (from both pre-validation and update methods) are captured and logged in the In/out log view (IOL) application.

   • If an error is found, the job continues with the next line in the file, rather than stopping altogether.

3. Field Formatting

   • The system automatically handles decimal separators (comma vs. period) and certain date formats to reduce errors.

4. Updated Field Names

   • All field names have been updated to more understandable API names, with clearer descriptions.

5. New Fields:

   1. AutoCreateProductUnitAtGoodsReception

      1. This new field has been added to extend functionality.

      2. When activated, product units are automatically generated when goods are registered to stock.

   2. AutomaticallyCreateWorkOrdersForSubstructures

      1. This new field has been added to extend functionality.

      2. When activated, production work orders should be created for sub structures automatically.

6. Field Blanking

   • Fields can be blanked out by sending in the value <BLANK>.

   • This applies to:

     • CustomField1, CustomField2, CustomField3, InternalNote, CountryOfOriginCode, DomesticCustomsTariffCode, EUCustomsTariffCode and PurchaseGroupName

Please note that this update will replace the current Load Article archive (ARTUPLOAD) on release. We also recommend using the standard rules for field formatting for all other load jobs.

RamBase release info - week 9 - 2025

Classification:  IMPORTANT

We have made significant improvements to the ARTUPLOAD functionality. The updated solution is now more user-friendly and comprehensible, particularly regarding error handling and field naming. Errors are no longer showstoppers—if one line fails validation, it is logged, and the import continues seamlessly with subsequent lines.

Additionally, older, less intuitive field names have been replaced with clear, standardized API names, making it easier to work with and understand the data.

With these changes, data imports are more reliable, errors are easier to diagnose, and the overall ARTUPLOAD process is significantly more user-friendly.

Summary of Changes

1. Enhanced pre-validation

   • Additional checks are performed before data is passed to the standard update methods.

2. Improved error handling

   • All errors (from both pre-validation and update methods) are captured and logged in the In/out log view (IOL) application.

   • If an error is found, the job continues with the next line in the file, rather than stopping altogether.

3. Field Formatting

   • The system automatically handles decimal separators (comma vs. period) and certain date formats to reduce errors.

4. Updated Field Names

   • All field names have been updated to more understandable API names, with clearer descriptions.

5. New Fields:

   1. AutoCreateProductUnitAtGoodsReception

      1. This new field has been added to extend functionality.

      2. When activated, product units are automatically generated when goods are registered to stock.

   2. AutomaticallyCreateWorkOrdersForSubstructures

      1. This new field has been added to extend functionality.

      2. When activated, production work orders should be created for sub structures automatically.

6. Field Blanking

   • Fields can be blanked out by sending in the value <BLANK>.

   • This applies to:

     • CustomField1, CustomField2, CustomField3, InternalNote, CountryOfOriginCode, DomesticCustomsTariffCode, EUCustomsTariffCode and PurchaseGroupName

Please note that this update will replace the current Load Article archive (ARTUPLOAD) on release. We also recommend using the standard rules for field formatting for all other load jobs.  

Click the links to read more about the Load Article archive (ARTUPLOAD) - INP/14542, as well as the Load procedure - Input menu (INP) and Import/export Wizard (IOQWIZ).

Whether you're launching your first subscription or looking to optimize your existing model—our solution is designed to easily help you create and manage a smooth subscription experience with your customers.

The RamBase Subscription is a sub-module under Rental. It is tailored towards the B2B market for
subscription of non-physical products such as services or licenses. The sub-module is a fully integrated subscription management and billing system that supports recurring
revenue models.

Users may be familiar with the current subscription features within the system. However, this launch introduces an entirely new solution developed from the ground up, in close partnership with customers.

The new solution is based on the Rental overview (RCS) application as the starting point for all rental and subscription handling in RamBase. The application introduces efficient breadcrumb navigation with focus on overview and natural work flow. Allowing the user to view all Rental contracts (RCT), which envelopes subscription, while at the same time being able to drill down to the lowest levels of a Rental contract item (RCTITEM).

The work flow is further reinforced by the fact that the contract, independently of status, will keep its identifier.

Basis for revenue is defined in the Recurring rates (RRT) application which is used to define rates for Products (ART) with the additional option of creating highly tailored rate steps.

Key capabilities include:

• Dynamic contract management: Real-time customization of plans, add-ons, and discounts, enabling quick adjustments to rates based on client negotiations, or promotions.

• Centralized subscription handling: Unified user-centric subscription handling enables you to create, manage and scale offerings in one place.

• Flexible billing options: Incentivize your customers to join with special offers, discounts, custom pricing, and custom billing cycles.

• Revenue assurance: Ensure that your invoices are accurately billed based on the contractual agreements you have with your customers.

Want to explore Subscription Management further? Visit the Subscription Management feature page on RamBase.com and our documentation to learn more about key features and benefits.

For any inquiries or additional clarification needed, feel free to contact our support team.

Please note that this functionality is planned to replace our current subscription functionality.

We would like to inform you that the PAY reconciliation (RECPAY) application will no longer support payment reconciliation for the year 2025 and beyond. Starting in 2025, all payment reconciliation tasks should be performed using the Bank statement (BST) application.

Once the manual Bank statement (BST) functionality is implemented, PAY reconciliation (RECPAY) will be fully retired. However user will be still able to access RECPAY to see history and make reconciliation for 2024. This change aims to streamline our processes and ensure a more efficient reconciliation experience.

Please update your workflows accordingly and reach out to our support team if you have any questions or need assistance.

The Arriving waybill (WBI) application contains critical information about shipment contents, senders and recipients details, addresses, the point of origin, intended routes and estimated times of departure and arrivals.

We are now further enhancing the application in several areas to increase traceability and visibility into the goods in transit. 

To accommodate these enhancements, a re-design of the Arriving waybill (WBI) application has been done along with related changes in the Receive goods (RPP) and Purchase order response (SOA) applications.

Listed below are the key benefits in this update:

• The Arriving waybill (WBI) application has been re-designed allowing for a smoother workflow as critical details are always visible while details are logically categorized into the new tabs: Expected goods, Received goods and Shipments and customs details.

• Purchaser order response items (SOAITEM) can be added to an Arriving waybill (WBI) as an expectation of what’s in transit from the supplier.

  • The Arriving waybill identifier (WBI) will be linked and referenced in the Purchase order response item (SOAITEM) application, in the new field Expected arriving waybill.

• New date fields are available in the Arriving waybills (WBI) application allowing the addition of information about Expected time of delivery, Actual time of delivery, Expected time of delivery and Actual time of arrival.

  • This information will also be referenced and available as columns in the Purchase order response item (SOAITEM) application.

• When in the process of creating Goods receptions (SSA), it will be possible to multi-select Purchase order items (SPOITEM) and Purchase order response items (SOAITEM) in the Receive goods (RPP) application, even if the document identifier is not the same.

• Multi-select will be supported when registering Goods receptions (SSA) received in a specific Arriving waybill (WBI).

• Navigating directly to the carrier's tracking web site can now be done from the Arriving waybill (WBI) application.

VAT Whitelist check integrated with Polish localization

Classification:  IMPORTANT

The Polish Whitelist of VAT Taxpayers is an online list of VAT payers, which contains important information about entities conducting business activity in Poland. Therefore, it enables taxpayers to quickly and comprehensively verify the registry data of counter-parties.

In 2021, we took a first step in launching the Whitelist (PLWHITELIST) application as an extension in the Marketplace allowing our users to be in compliance with Polish VAT requirements.

Now, we are making a leap by integrating automatic VAT Whitelist checks with all relevant functionality:

• New column added to the Pay management (PAM) application, detailing Whitelist validation.

• New checkbox, banners, columns and icon added to the Supplier (SUP) application:  

  • An icon to trigger a validation with the results being displayed in the columns mentioned below.

  • The Last positive whitelist check and Exists on whitelist columns have been added in the list of Bank accounts found in the Settings tab, and then by clicking the Finance sub-tab.

  • The banners; Whitelist validation successful, Whitelist validation failed and Whitelist is not published are added to the header based on the result of the validation.

  • The checkbox, Allow to continue payment even bank account is not validated through whitelist is also added to provide the option of making a payment to a supplier's bank account that has not been properly validated in the VAT taxpayer whitelist.

• A new Company setting (CSV) named “The amount above which payments are verified on the Polish white list in the remittance process”.

  • The setting performs checks on all payments to Polish companies for payments greater than the set amount in the company's currency.

The use of RamBase Whitelist is included in the Polish localization and ensures that you do not have to spend time switching between your system and the taxpayers list.

To provide a more flexible setup that meets different reporting needs, RamBase now supports gross reporting for fixed assets. This feature enables transparent reporting of acquisition cost and accumulated depreciation as separate entries on the balance sheet.

This enhancement introduces an additional field in the fixed asset configuration in the Depreciation rules (DPR) application for the Accumulated Depreciation Account, ensuring a clear separation of acquisition value and accumulated depreciation in financial reports.

By implementing this setup, RamBase aligns with both local and international accounting standards, reducing compliance risks, and providing clearer and more transparent reporting for auditors and stakeholders.

This functionality will only be available for new Depreciation rules (DPR). For existing setups, no changes are necessary, as depreciation will continue to be recorded on the main balance account as before.

With the new Working time templates (WTT) application, users can create templates for Working times, Unavailable periods and Resources. Allowing increased efficiency and overview when defining the capacity that is available for your production needs in meeting customer expectations. 

Additionally we have made the Unavailable period templates (UPT) application, which is used to create new templates for specific days when production resources are unavailable, for example state holidays. 

The two new applications are designed to work in unison by merging the Working time template (WTT) with the Unavailable period template (UPT). And the goal is to be able to set up calendars that can be reused on many resources, so that you don't have to do the same work on each resource.

Users may switch between the Working time templates (WTT) and Unavailable period templates (UPT) applications quickly by clicking on the button with application name at the top of either applications.

Earlier this year, we released a set of applications with the intent to improve upon and in time, replace existing functionality.

Time has now come and we are happy to announce the following improvements:

Production work order tree view (PWOTREEVIEW) is being replaced with new Inspect subproductions (PWOTREE) application

The Inspect subproductions (PWOTREE) application is specifically designed for Production work orders (PWO) to display all associated subproductions in a comprehensive tree view. Initially, this feature was available within the the Order overview (OOV) and Schedule production jobs (SPJ) applications.

With this latest update, we’ve extended the Inspect subproductions (PWOTREE) functionality to both the Production work order (PWO) and Sales order item (COAITEM) applications.

This enhancement allows you to not only view detailed information on each subproduction but also provides insights into related Sales orders (COA) and Goods reception items (SSAITEM), if forwarded from a completed Production work order (PWO).

You can easily access the enhanced overview directly from the Context menu in both the Production work order (PWO) and Sales order item (COAITEM) applications by selecting the Production tree view option.

For more detailed information on the Inspect subproductions (PWOTREE) application, click here.

Production backlog customer (PBCOA) is being replaced with the previously released Order overview (OOV) application

The Orders overview (OOV) application lists all open Sales order items (COAITEM) with a Production work order (PWO), and with the click of a button, access the Sales order (COA) application to view and edit details.

The extensive filtering options allow all open Sales order items (COAITEM) to be arranged according to the users' needs.

Additionally the user can quickly inspect assignments, production planning and more.   

For more detailed information on the Orders overview (OOV) application, click here.

Production work orders (PWO) is being replaced with the previously released Production work orders menu (PWOMENU)

The Production work orders menu (PWOMENU) lists all Production work orders (PWO) in an easy to use interface.

The new application includes a lot of the functionality from the now replaced Production work orders (PWO) application, but with the added functionality of the Productions tab from the Production planning (PRODPLAN) application, along with other additional improvements.

The Inspect subproductions (PWOTREE) application is specifically designed for Production work orders (PWO) to display all associated subproductions in a comprehensive tree view. Initially, this feature was available within the the Order overview (OOV) and Schedule production jobs (SPJ) applications.

With this latest update, we’ve extended the Inspect subproductions (PWOTREE) functionality to both the Production work order (PWO) and Sales order item (COAITEM) applications.

This enhancement allows you to not only view detailed information on each subproduction but also provides insights into related Sales orders (COA) and Goods reception items (SSAITEM), if forwarded from a completed Production work order.

You can easily access the enhanced overview directly from the Context menu in both the Production work order (PWO) and Sales order item (COAITEM) applications by selecting the Production tree view option.

For more detailed information on the Inspect subproductions (PWOTREE) application, click here.

Production backlog customer (PBCOA) is being replaced with the previously released Order overview (OOV) application

The Orders overview (OOV) application lists all open Sales order items (COAITEM) with a Production work order (PWO), and with the click of a button, access the Sales order (COA) application to view and edit details.

The extensive filtering options allow all open Sales order items (COAITEM) to be arranged according to the users' needs.

Additionally the user can quickly inspect assignments, production planning and more.

Production work orders (PWO) is being replaced with the previously released Production work orders menu (PWOMENU)

The Production work orders menu (PWOMENU) lists all Production work orders (PWO) in an easy to use interface.

The new application includes a lot of the functionality from the now replaced Production work orders (PWO) application, but with the added functionality of the Productions tab from the Production planning (PRODPLAN) application, along with other additional improvements.

We have made an enhancement to the XML-file export from RamBase to Rob_Ex by providing additional material status information.

The matCal field in the operation <Opr> tag gives the last expected availability date for the material/parts required for an operation. It is based on the last confirmed date or if one or more links are unconfirmed, and in that case the date will be based on purchase lead time.

We have now added a material status indication in the cusText1 field in the operation <Opr> tag. This field will now display the current status of material for each operation.

1. PENDING - If one or more material lines for the operation is not purchase (linked to ‘pending’):

   • New field ‘cusText1’=PENDING.

2. UNCONFIRMED - If no ‘pending’ link, but one or more material lines for the operation linked to not confirmed purchase order or not confirmed production work order:

   • New field ‘cusText1’=UNCONFIRMED.

3. CONFIRMED - If no material lines for the operation get match from 1 (PENDING) or 2 (UNCONFIRMED), all is confirmed or linked to stock:

   • New field ‘cusText1’=Confirmed.

We are excited to announce the upcoming release of the improved Fulfillment planning (PFP) application designed to enhance user experience and efficiency.

Key Features:

• Prepare for picking (PREPICK): The Prepare for picking (PREPICK) application has been integrated into the Fulfillment planning (PFP) application as a dedicated tab called Picking queue, removing the need for a separate application.

• Flexible picking list: Users can now generate picking lists for individual documents, all documents, or selected documents. There is also an option to assign a person to the task, though this is entirely optional.

  • If multiple documents are selected, users can choose between creating a single picking list for all documents or generating separate lists for each. This can be further customized using the Group by order or Group by common options.

• Multi-Selection & Filtering: Users can multi-select documents or apply various filters to refine their selection. Once filtered, a picking list can be created based on the narrowed results.

Enhancements and Changes:

• The tab previously labeled as Add to picking queue has been renamed to Prepare for picking.

• New fields have been introduced in the Send filtered items to picking process popup, offering more options.

• Picks and Priority columns have been added to the column settings in the Picking list (PIL) application.

• Multiselect is now available in the Picking list (PIL) application, along with the ability to update the assignee.
  

While the look and feel of the application might have changed, the core functionality and logic still remains the same.

NB! The old Prepare for picking (PREPICK) application will be discontinued four weeks after the release of this new feature in the Fulfillment planning (PFP) application.

When releasing and/or splitting a Production work order (PWO), the production planner is dependent on making informed decisions and then having the right tools to act efficiently on those decisions.

To improve the user experience for the production planner, we are refining the available information, while providing a redesign of the popups for increased efficiency.

These changes will be available in the following popups in the Production work order (PWO) application:

New Split production work order popup

• The new popup displays relevant information from the source Production work order (PWO), while at the same time allowing the user to edit the details of the potential new Production work order (PWO).

• Two new tabs, where the user can choose to either select Product units (LCM) for split, or even more efficiently, scan serial numbers.

New Release production work order popup

• The potential Product units (LCM) are now listed, allowing the user to individually select Product units (LCM) or use the Release remaining quantity button to release the Production work order (PWO).

While the look and feel of the popups might have changed, the core functionality of the release and split logic still remains the same.

To enhance efficiency and overview within the production module the following improvements have been introduced:

• The Production work order menu (PWOMENU) application

The Production work orders menu (PWOMENU) lists all Production work orders (PWO) in an easy to use interface. The new application serves as an alternative to the Production work orders (PWO) application with the added functionality of the Productions tab from the Production planning (PRODPLAN) application.

In the future, it will replace both the Production work order (PWO) and the Production planning (PRODPLAN) applications.

• The Scheduled production jobs (SPJ) application

Handling individual Production work orders (PWO) can be time consuming. Especially if your Production work orders (PWO) have complex structures, with equally complex subproductions.

The Scheduled production jobs (SPJ) application mitigates this as it makes it easier to efficiently schedule operations on multiple Production work orders (PWO).

• The Order overview (OOV) application

The Orders overview (OOV) application lists all open Sales order items (COAITEM) requiring a Production work order (PWO). It is an alternative to the Production backlog customer backlog (PBCOA).

The extensive filtering options allow for arranging all open Sales order items (COAITEM) according to the users' needs.

• The Inspect subproductions (PWOTREE) application

The Inspect subproductions (PWOTREE) application is an overview application tailored for Production work orders (PWO) with subproductions. The application grants overview by displaying the subproductions in relation to a main Production work order (PWO).

The Inspect subproductions (PWOTREE) application works in the context of a Production work order (PWO) and is available in the Order overview (OOV) and Schedule production jobs (SPJ) applications.

The purpose of the Project order (POD) application is to have a tool that can be used to provide a cost/price estimate in advance, and a place to log hours and to follow up logistics after a project order has been started.

RamBase will expand the functionality of the Project order (POD) application by adding a new feature to increase traceability control.

The feature includes the option of setting a requirement that all material, which are consumed in a Project order item (PODITEM), must be added a serial number.

A created Project order item (PODITEM) will inherit the selection from the Require serial number before shipping checkbox, which is set in the Product (ART) application. Note that the option of overruling this selection will be available in the Project order item (PODITEM) application.

The users can scan serial numbers when picking with the Pick (PODPICK) application with a hand held terminal, or with the RamBase mobile application for Project order (POD). The user can also use the desktop application.

For Project order items (PODITEM) requiring serial numbers, a validation will be made when confirming consumption of material. This is to check if the serial number requirement is fulfilled. If not, the user will not be allowed to confirm the consumption.

Please note that this new feature will only be valid for Project order items (PODITEM) that are created after release, and it will have no impact on existing Project order items (PODITEM).

The new Jobs (JOBS) application will grant you full output control by allowing you to quickly check on your output jobs or the progress of report jobs.

The application is especially useful for users with the role of Output administrator, who can verify that only requisite report jobs are running, in doing so optimizing the system and controlling the information being exported.

 The Jobs (JOBS) application is divided into four tabs:

• My output jobs - Available to all users. This tab is for checking your output jobs. Notable functionality is located in the ​Download​​ column where an attached document can be downloaded. An output job can also be cancelled or repeated by clicking the icons in the right most column.

• All output jobs - Available to users with the role Output administrator. This tab will list all output jobs, for all users.

• My report jobs - Available to all users. This tab will list all report jobs as either a print or email output. The output jobs can quickly be filtered by selecting the predefined filters ​Exclude recurring jobs​ or ​Show only recurring jobs​​.

• Recurring report jobs - Available to users with the role Output administrator. This tab is used to quickly identify that only wanted report jobs are running on an interval. This will allow the system to run as efficiently as possible. It can also be beneficial to manage what is being exported of your company’s information.

Note that report jobs which are activated by users without the required permissions, or by users that have been deactivated, will automatically be set in Status 6 - Unscheduled by system.

RamBase is introducing a change in how expenses are logged for project orders. Project order items which enable manually update of accrued numbers will be replaced by items which calculate numbers based on expense logs.

Previously, expenses could only be added as a quantity of 1. The introduction of expense logs allows users to estimate and log any quantity for these project order items, and cost and sales will automatically be calculated based on this information. For example, when recording mileage allowance as an expense, users may log their mileage day by day. Cost and sales for this project order item will then be calculated automatically based on these logs.

The use of expense logs will enhance accuracy, traceability, and transparency. It contributes to accuracy by providing more comprehensive information, aids traceability by offering a clearer history of expenditures, and promotes transparency by allowing for a more detailed breakdown of the costs involved.

Expense logs may be added to a project order item directly from the Project order item (PODITEM) application or from the new Expense log (EXL) application, both in the desktop version, as well as the Rambase mobile application.

Users can process and finalize existing project order items that enable manual update of accrued expenses. However, they will not be able to create new ones after the release.

The Quality issue (QIS) application is soon to be introduced as two separate applications:

• The Quality issue list (QIS) application and

• The Quality issue details (QISD) application

Users will still find all existing functions and features, but the improved user interface will make the work on quality issues in RamBase more intuitive and user-friendly.

When entering the Quality issue list (QIS) application, users will see a list of quality issues and have extensive filtering options. Selecting an issue from the list, or creating a new quality issue, will take the user to the quality issue in the Quality issue details (QISD) application.  

The Quality issue details (QISD) application is where quality issues are processed. It will have a clearer flow than the previous Quality issue (QIS) application. In addition, it will offer several options of how to navigate back and forth between the different parts of the process.

In the Quality issue details (QISD) application, users will also notice a new grey area added to the right of the working area. (This stays the same for the whole process.) The default Summary tab gives an overview of information given in all parts of the process. Tabs for Log, Notes and Mail are also on-hand throughout the different phases of processing the quality issue.   

The mobile application will also be improved, and it will be possible to add pictures and source data when creating a quality issue via the mobile application.

A new version of the Approvals (APPROVAL) application will be released soon. It gives a good overview of items in need of approval, or that have been sent for approval, all in one place. In other words, Purchase orders, Supplier invoices and so on, all at a glance.

There are extensive filtering options to ensure that it is easy to find relevant items for approval. Attachments may be previewed without further clicking and lists may be exported to Excel. The application also makes it easy to process items, as it has options to approve/reject one at a time, or in bulk.

A daily e-mail will be sent to each user with a summary of approvals pending the user's review. When an approval is marked as "urgent", an e-mail will be sent to the user immediately. This will replace the use of Internal message Service (IMS) notifications.

There is implemented a solution so that the user can change product of existing stock. In practice that means to move part of a Goods reception item (SSAITEM) to a new Goods reception item (SSAITEM) with another product id.

A stock quantity can be moved from one given product to another, for example from product A to product B. If a deviation occurs on product A, causing it not to fulfill certain requirements, a specified stock quantity can be moved from product A to product B due to more lenient requirements. It will then be used as product B. Moving stock from one product to another is only available for stock of type Part or Material.

After a Fixed asset (FAR) has been registered and depreciation has started, the investment amount for the fixed asset can be adjusted using the Make Adjustment to Depreciation Plan option in the action menu. When the adjustment has been registered, the investment amount, balance and depreciation amounts will change for the fixed asset.

We have now made a change to the Fixed asset (FAR) application and some reports, to show both the original and the current investment amount. This will give a better overview of which fixed assets have been adjusted, and the reports will make it easier to find the total adjustment amounts for all fixed assets.

These fixed assets reports have been adjusted to show both the original and current investment amount (Report number - Name):

REP/101153 - Fixed Assets : Investment Amount, Period Depreciation, Total Depreciation and Balance.

REP/104445 - Fixed Assets. Investment Amount, Depreciation this year & last years and Balance.

REP/104453 - Fixed Assets. Investment Amount, Depreciation this year & last years and Balance.

REP/103624 - Fixed Assets. Investment Amount, Depreciation this year & last years and Balance.

REP/101150 - Fixed Assets : Investment Amount, Period Depreciation, Total Depreciation and Balance.

REP/100326 - Fixed Assets : Investment Amount, Balance, Depreciation this year & last years.

Closing line in depreciation plan:

When a Fixed asset (FAR) is registered and depreciation has started, we have a new option in the context menu: Close earlier Depreciation and handle in this period. This context menu option can be used if fixed assets depreciation has not been done in one or more previous periods, and the total of the depreciations left behind should be added to the current period. All depreciations from earlier periods which have no GL postings for depreciation will then be closed and added to the planned depreciation amount for current (highlighted) period, in Status 0.

Adjusting investment amount, balance and depreciation amounts:

We have also made some changes to the context menu option Make Adjustment to Depreciation Plan. This option will now support two different methods for creating adjustments:

• Adjust remaining plan - The revision of the asset affects future depreciation schedules.

• Current Period - The depreciation of the asset to date is re-evaluated based on revised values, and any variance between the newly calculated depreciation and the previously posted depreciations is recorded in the present accounting period.

The context menu option Make Adjustment to Depreciation Plan will show a popup where some fields need to be updated. Some changes have been made to this popup, to improve the functionality and to support the two different methods. Before adjustments are done, Adjustment amount field in the popup should be filled in, the Adjustment method must be selected, and a Note can be added so that the depreciation plan will show why this adjustment was done. When adjustment is confirmed, the depreciation plan will be regenerated and a new adjustment line, with a date for the adjustment and a reference to user id, will be added to the depreciation plan.
