Here’s what we've been working on to make ParagonERP work better for you.
Over the last few weeks, we’ve been working extensively on the auto- complete functionality in Paragon. When you create a shipment off of an order, the outstanding column in the order re-calculates to reflect the units that have been shipped. Once all units have been shipped and the outstanding is 0, any reservations, picks or packs associated to the order will be completed automatically. In the example on the right, a packing list was created off of an order. Then, a shipment was created off the order. When the shipment is completed, the packing list is also automatically completed since the outstanding quantity on the order is 0. This functionality ensures that units are not left open on reservations, picks and packs when they’ve already been shipped off the order.
We created a rule that does not allow you to issue a shipment for a customer that does not have enough credit available. This stops you from fulfilling orders for customers that may not end up paying for them.
Did you know a purchase order can be created directly off a sales order? When this is done, we created a rule to validate that the customer is active before the purchase order is created. If a customer is inactive, you should not be allowed to create a purchase order to directly fulfill an order.
If you are creating a partial pack off of two pick tickets, the left to pack quantity on the pick tickets was calculated incorrectly. This has been corrected and follows the logic below:
Pick 1 = 100 units
Pick 2 = 50 units
You create pack 1 off pick 1 and pick 2. Then, you modify the quantities from 100 to 80 and 50 to 40. When you create the second pack for the remaining units, the left to pack quantity will be 30 (20 + 10).
In Paragon, ATS = Stock + inbound goods – allocated goods. There was a bug that did not take units from partial receipts or partial work orders into account. Because of this, the inbound goods value was lower than reality and caused the ATS number to be incorrect.
There was a bug that prevented you from being able to create one transaction off of multiple transactions. This has been corrected. Now you can create:
An order off multiple quotes
An invoice off multiple orders, quotes or shipments
A credit off multiple RMA’s
A purchase order off multiple orders
When you add items to a BOM, the quantity and unit cost can both be changed from what was originally stored on the material. There was a bug that prevented you from making this change, which has been fixed.
