0000404: Print LU label reports with a list of LU's

Tue, 07 Feb 2012 09:51:07 +0100

The touchscreen pick from stock application should execute the LU label reports once with a list of all pending LU ID's, instead of executing the report once for every single pending LU ID.

Existing reports using "report.selections.luid" must be controlled to be able to process a list of LU ID's, because it is no longer safe to assume only a single LU ID per report execution. The sample "LU Etikette" was changed to meet the new requirement.

0000406: Enable scanning of EAN13 with weight in pick from stock

Mon, 06 Feb 2012 16:02:44 +0100

In the touchscreen application for pick from stock it should be possible to scan national EAN13 with net weight in the pick page:

- The EAN13 must start with the GS1 prefix 29
- The EAN13 must be a valid CU, TU or LU bar code of the current article
- The article price code must be kilo (PU = kilo)

After scanning the first EAN, the application changes to the new "Scanning" page. The scanning page is similar to the existing "Weighing" page to register weights from scales, but with the following differences:

- The "Weighings" list is labeled "Scans" and does not have the columns gross kg and tare kg.
- There is no button to print weighing labels below the list.
- The controls assembled in "Next weighing" are not present.
- The button "Weigh" is missing, instead registering additional records happens by scanning.

The unit CU, TU or LU of the scan is determined by checking if the scanned bar code is valid for the respective unit in the current article. In case of ambiguity because more than one bar code unit is matched, the order unit is used when among the matched, and otherwise the smallest unit.

After scanning all units for the current pick, the pick is saved with the "Partial" or "Complete" button respectively. With the "Cancel" button the scanning can be cancelled without saving the pick.

0000405: Do not list deleted articles in labeler test

Mon, 06 Feb 2012 15:07:41 +0100

In the labeler test window of the packline configuration, currently also articles with status "deleted" are listed, but they should not appear.

0000397: Issues in order trip finishing

Mon, 06 Feb 2012 12:07:39 +0100

Fix 1:

- The calculation of missing LU, TU and CU quantities of incomplete items is erraneous.
- Occasional oracle error when updating order item remarks.
- Wrong quantity in reordered item, because of improper rounding.

Fix 2:
- Error "trip not found" when no delivery of missing quantities in other trip.

Fix 3:
- Error "trip not found" when rest of partially picked items to be delivered in same trip.

0000403: Purging of audits elder than 99 days fails with oracle error

Thu, 02 Feb 2012 07:53:48 +0100

When purging audits older than 99 days, for example with the command

bps audit 0/123@test -a -p 360

execution fails with error ORA-01873.

0000402: Start labeler after loading from articles master data application

Wed, 01 Feb 2012 16:46:29 +0100

After loading the labeler from the atricles master data, the labeling belts shall be started when the labeler has such an interface.

0000401: Creating new groups and users not possible

Mon, 30 Jan 2012 23:02:31 +0100

During the save of the new records, an ORA-01400 error appears saying c_key can not be null.

0000398: Rollback zone if geko/tako robot rejects a revoke

Sat, 28 Jan 2012 23:59:19 +0100

When the zone of an item that is currently synced with a geko or tako robot gets changed, the following robot sync tries to revoke the item from the robot. If the robot rejects the revoke request, the zone does not get rolled back to tako or geko respectively, and the item robot status changes to unsynced.

The proper handling would be to roll back the item zone to geko or tako respectively, and leave the item in synced state. The message about rejected requests shall however be displayed after sync, to inform the user about the fact.

0000400: Add stock quantity filters to article and stock location master data

Sat, 28 Jan 2012 19:04:21 +0100

The filter shall allow to find stock locations or articles with the following stock quantities:

- Any (dont care)
- Positive
- Negative
- Positive or negative (non-0)

0000399: Add LU ID from/to to order trips filter

Sat, 28 Jan 2012 15:04:23 +0100

The filter of the order trips shall be extenden with the LU ID.
LU ID's filter should be a range, e.g. from/to.

0000396: Enable locked articles in order desk and proration

Sat, 28 Jan 2012 11:21:28 +0100

The following settings can be made to enable locked articles in proration and order desk:

Central System Settings
GuiConfig
Ordering
AllowLockedArticles = yes
Proration
AllowLockedArticles = yes

0000372: Status of new trip not set after shortening

Mon, 23 Jan 2012 20:30:51 +0100

When shortening and moving the missing quantities to a new (yet not existing trip), the status of the new trip stays always on 'new', even when the trip is configured to have the initial status set to 'ready' or 'active'.

0000395: Load labeler from articles master data application

Mon, 23 Jan 2012 20:30:08 +0100

It should be possible to load labeler settings from the articles master data. The function shall be available when one or more packing lines is/are configured for the current terminal.

Reason: Regular users should be able to test labels, but they should not have permission for the labeler settings or the packing line configuration, where such functions are also available.

0000378: Show totals in orderdesk

Fri, 06 Jan 2012 20:42:59 +0100

Show the calculated totals of the item in kilos and pieces while editing the settings of an item.

0000391: Enhancements in purchase order entry

Fri, 06 Jan 2012 09:57:59 +0100

Delivery selection page
-----------------------

- When an order item is selected and the list widget has focus, the copy
shortcut (Ctrl+C) will copy the digits of the article ID to the system
clipboard.

- The former "quantity" column was replaced by 3 columns:

Ordered: Confirmed or ordered quantity of the item.
Entered: Total yet entered quantity in all deliveries.
Open : Quantity still expected for this delivery.

- The remarks in the list now only show item remarks in classic mode, and
the column header was changed accordingly. Besides the order remarks edit
widget there is now another widget to edit the remarks of the currently
selected item.

- When in classic mode a closed item is selected in the list, the "Next" button
changes to "Open" and has the function to re-open the item for further entry.
After re-opening, the item has the status "open" or "partially delivered",
depending if there are any existing deliveries.

- In the dialog to complete or trim a delivery, the option "Current delivery
only" is now checked by default.

- When a new delivery is opened, the system checks if there exists any previous
delivery with this conditions:

- Previous entry has been made
- Not yet cleared (not yet sent to master system)
- Either blocked, or last entry not older than X minutes

If such a existing delivery is found, it will be continued instead of creating
a new delivery. Blocked deliveries are typically from suspended entries. The
maximum entry age of non-blocked deliveries can be adjusted in:

Central System Settings
GuiConfig
Goods Entry
MaxContinueMinutes = 60

A value of 0 minutes will disable reopening of non-blocked deliveries.

Delivery edit page
------------------

- A "Suspend" button was added in front of the two finishing buttons "Part
delivery" and "Complete". It works similar to part delivery, but does not
call the delivery print routine, even if the the print checkbox is set.
Also, it blocks the delivery and so inhibits the interface scripts from
processing and clearing the item.

- The "block" checkbox was removed. Blocking now happend automatically when the
delivery is suspended, and unblocking when the delivery is finished as a part
delivery or as complete.

- The remarks edit is now labeled as "Delivery remarks" to prevent mistaking
with item and order remarks.

Weighing page
-------------

- Weighings of previous deliveries are now also displayed in the list and
indicated by a red square icon. They are read-only and can not be edited or
deleted. Weighings of the current delivery are indicated by a round green
icon.

- The confirmed or ordered quantity respectively is now shown in front of the
weighing totals.

- Weigings can now be added by clicking the new "+" icon below the weighing
list. The gross or net weight respectively is entered manually instead of
reading from scales. Manual entries are indicated by "M" in the list while
true weighings from scales are indicated by "W".

- Existing weighings can now be edited by clicking the new "Edit" icon below
the weighing list. In case the gross weight is changed, the weighing will be
flagged by "M" as a manual input.

- Only packages assigned to the current zone are listed in the drop-down
select inputs.

- The edit on which the initial focus is set after entering the page can be
configured in the settings as:

Central System Settings
GuiConfig
Goods Entry
Weighing
InitialFocus = ID

Other edit fields possible are LU, TU and CU. Any other value will have the
same effect als ID.

0000393: Changes in general weighing application

Fri, 06 Jan 2012 09:57:41 +0100

- A zone selection has been added as first screen, like in the other touchscreen
picking and goods entry applications.

- The package drop-down inputs on the weighing page list only those packages
assigned to the selected zone.

- Only report configurations of the selected zone are listed on the print page.

0000394: Assign packages to zones

Fri, 06 Jan 2012 08:05:03 +0100

The packages now can be assigned to zones.

The packages master data application was changed to explorer/editor mode with the 3 tabs for general settings, zones and attributes in the editor.

GEKO/TAKO zones are automatically assigned to the respective packages by the db update script according to the existing GEKO and TAKO attributes of the package. The GEKO and TAKO package attributes are no longer required, but left unchanged by the update script.

0000392: Enhance license handling for temporary licenses

Thu, 05 Jan 2012 15:06:01 +0100

IBK licenses can now have several parts per item separated by comma.

Example:

Touchscreen Stock Picking = 10, 5 19.12.2011-18.1.2012 1m

- The first part '10' defines there are 10 licenses with no time limit.

- The second part '5 19.12.2011-18.1.2012 1m' defines there are 5 licenses
valid from 19.12.2012 til 18.1.2012. Any text behind the date (and before
the comma separating the next part in case) is comment with no technical
effect; '1m' means 1 month rent in this case.

So from 19.12.2011 to 18.1.2012 there are 15 valid licenses for stock
picking, before and after that period there are only 10 valid licenses.

0000390: Enhancements in order trip finishing

Sat, 24 Dec 2011 10:28:06 +0100

Start page
----------

- A underdelivery tolerance input has been added. Items where the picked OU
(OU/order unit = LU, TU or CU respectively) is smaller than the planned OU
quantity, AND the picked PU quantity is less than the ordered PU quantity
minus tolerance are considered to be underdelivered.

Pending picks page
------------------

- If robot zones are present, there will also be a list of pending robots,
e.g. robot zones with status "Sent" or "Active" having any items.

- A confirmation to ignore the warnings must be checked if the finishing shall
be continued nonetheless, it shall avoid injudiciously skipping this warning
page.

- In case there are active robots while finishing in partial mode, the affected
items will not be changed except that the existing new picking records get
delivery ID, user and date/time set.

In the other finishing modes no special care is taken for active robots if
the processing is continued, so picks sent by the robot after finishing are
lost and cause errors or inconsistencies.

Underdeliveries page
--------------------

- The missing quantity in the list of articles with underdeliveries
is now displayed in LU, TU, CU and PU.

- The page is now also shown in partial delivery mode when there are any
underdelivered items, e.g. something was picked but not enough. Items not yet
picked at all are however left untouched and are therefore not listed in
partialy delivery mode.

- The remarks edit for shortened items was moved to the confirmation page.

Subsequent delivery trip page
-----------------------------

- The remarks for original item and subsequent delivery article order
were moved to the confirmation page.

- It is no longer possible to select the same trip and date for subsequent
delivery as the order trip being finished.

Confirmation page
-----------------

- All remark editors are now assembled on this page. Only those remark edits
are displayed being relevant for the current finishing run.

Placeholders are available to dynamically populate custom remarks with
ID's and dates of the finished trip and the trip where subsequent deliveries
will be created.

Unpicked items
--------------

In partial delivery mode nothing happens with these items, in the other modes
the following handling takes place:

Unpicked items selected for subsequent delivery in an other trip are moved
into the new trip (instead of shortening the original item and creating
a new one with empty origin system in the new trip). The original origin
system and order ID's are therefore retained unconditionally for these items.

Unpicked items NOT selected for subsequent delivery in an other trip are
shortened, e.g. the planned quantity is set to 0, a zero pick record is
added and the shortening remark is applied if the ordered quantity is not 0.

Incomplete items
----------------

Incomplete items are those where something was picked but the picked OU
quantity is less than the planned quantity. These items get the planned
quantity reduced to the picked OU unconditionally.

If additionally the picked PU quantity is smaller than the ordered PU quantity
minus the underdelivery tolerance, the item is underdelivered.

If the article of an underdelivered item was selected for subsequent delivery,
the item gets the ordered OU quantity reduced to the picked OU quantity and
the respective remarks applied. Otherwise the remarks for shortened items
are applied but the ordered quantity is left unchanged and no new item is
created for subsequent delivery.

The new item for subsequent delivery gets created with these quantities:

ordered = previous ordered - now ordered in the original item
planned = ceil((previous planned PU - picked PU) / PUperOU)

The new item has the origin system cleared, and has the remarks for subsequent
deliveries applied in the article order.

0000375: Robot synchronisation missing after trip closure

Wed, 21 Dec 2011 15:54:53 +0100

Missing orders are split into an new trip during trip finishing, and the following conditions are met:

- The new ordertrip status is "active".
- The new ordertrip has previously been sent to the robot.
- The robot update mode of the trip is set to "all automatic".

In this situation, an automatic robot sync should be executed, but it doesn't.
Manually sync the new ordertrip as a workaround.

0000389: Inhibit zone finishing if any order objects of the zone and trip are in use

Tue, 20 Dec 2011 21:50:31 +0100

Zone finishing should not be possible when any picking is still going on in the zone and trip, or more generally any order objects are in use.

Vice versa during the zone finishing the items should be locked to inhibit other users to pick anything while the finish is being executed.

0000388: New LU's are locked after cancelling zone finishing

Tue, 20 Dec 2011 21:43:31 +0100

When in break bulk picking a zone closure is startet but then cancelled, all the unfinished LU's stay locked after. This results in all further picking being blocked until the user who cancelled the finishing either executes the finish, or signs off from the workplace.

0000387: Purchase orders enhancements

Mon, 19 Dec 2011 12:18:15 +0100

- When editing a delivery having any weighings, the inputs for LU, TU, CU, PU
and deduction must be disabled.

- When adding, editing or deleting weighings, the values LU, TU, CU, PU and
deduction in the delivery must be recalculated.

- The default filter status flags (e.g. those checked when clearing the filter
with the rubber icon) are no longer hard coded, but can now be defined in the
settings:

Central System Settings
GuiConfig
Purchase Orders
DefaultStatus = r,a,c

The value is a comma separated list of order status (n=new, r=ready, a=active
c=closed, h=history). For example, to add status "New" to the defaults,
change the value to:

DefaultStatus = n,r,a,c

0000386: Add status display to order trips

Fri, 16 Dec 2011 20:21:12 +0100

A status display window has been added to the order trips application. Mark objects to watch and then start the status display to show any order locks affecting the selected objects. An auto refresh allows the status to be automatically refreshed in a selectable period of seconds.

The watched objects can be:

- A single order trip
- One or more partner orders of a single trip
- One or more article orders of a trip
- One or more items of a single order
