These changes have been rolled out in RamBase in the past week:
Logistics
Coming: Rental function to be removed from the Scanpick (SCANPICK) application
Classification: IMPORTANT
The recently released application for picking to rental shipping advice with a handheld device, Rental pick (RENTALPICK), will now replace the rental function in the Scanpick (SCANPICK) application.
Coming: Changes to the External work logistics (EXTWORKINFO) and the Work order operation (WOO) applications
Classification: USEFUL
The Create SSA for PO (Qty:X) SPO/xxxxxx and complete operation option has been removed and replaced by a new option Create SSA for PWO/xxxxxx. This option gives the user an opportunity to either create Goods reception (SSA) for the ordered quantity, or for a part of the POs quantity. Note that it will only be possible to create a Goods reception (SSA) for the quantity specific for the Production work order (PWO) that the user is working on.
It is still possible to forward all items on a Supplier purchase order (SPO) or Supplier order response (SOA) to a Goods reception (SSA) directly from the supplier document. It is also possible to view the number of received product units from an outsourced operation in the Work order operation (WOO) application.
When product units are received partly or fully from an outsourced operation the next Work Order Operation (WOO) is automatically set ready for start (not outsourced operations).
Another related issue is also fixed. Earlier the outsourced Work order operations (WOO) would be completed even though it had parts that were not picked. This could in some cases cause the Production work order (PWO) to be set to Status 8 (Completed) and the user was not able to pick the parts and forward the Production work order (PWO) to stock. The new functionality will prevent this from happening. If not all parts are picked, the Work order operation (WOO) will not be completed and the user will be able to pick the goods and complete the operation manually.
Example:
If all goods are received for the outsourced operation and all parts are picked for the operation, then the Work Order Operation (WOO) will be set to Status 9 (Completed).
If not all parts are picked then the outsourced operation is set to Status 5 (started), but in paused mode.

Improve flow chart for Supplier invoice items (SINITEM) Classification: USEFUL
The flow chart illustrates the linked documents related to the purchase process. Previously, limitations existed in scenarios where the starting point was an item within the Supplier invoice (SIN) application. This situation did not address cases where multiple supplier shipment advice items were linked to a Purchase order item (SPOITEM). As a result, users had to redirect their focus to the initial document, either the Purchase order (SPO) or the Purchase order response (SOA), to gain a complete view of the entire document flow.
Now, the flow chart displays all Good receptions (SSA) linked to the Supplier invoice item (SINITEM) currently being reviewed. These connections are visually represented with a stapled line, simplifying the comprehension of relationships between these documents.
In addition, a new toggle feature has been introduced for a convenient navigation. Users can activate the toggle to view the entire flow chart from the perspective of the starting document of the Purchase order item (SPOITEM) or Purchase order response item (SOAITEM). This feature streamlines the process of exploring the entire document flow, providing users with a more comprehensive overview.

Load Quality issues (QIS)
Classification: USEFUL
It is now possible to load Quality issues (QIS). This will simplify the work of transferring quality issues from the Quality report archive (QAR) application (or another system) to the Quality issue (QIS) application.
Approvals (APPROVAL) application has been updated with extensive filtering options and much more Classification: IMPORTANT
A new version of the Approvals (APPROVAL) application has been released. 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.
