These changes have been rolled out in RamBase in the past week:
Logistics
Rental function 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), has replaced the rental function in the Scanpick (SCANPICK) application.
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.
Coming: RamBase introduces a number of changes for managing tasks that need to be handled before or during production Classification: USEFUL
PWO: Users may access the new Tasks option in the Links section of the Production work order details (PWO) application, where lists of production and pre-production tasks are displayed.
WOO: The new Tasks tab is available in the Work order operation (WOO) application, containing a unified list of production and pre-production tasks, with a variety of columns and filtering options to choose from.
RWOO: The Resource work order operation (RWOO) application will benefit from new columns containing the list tasks linked to each operation.
KITDOC:While accessing the Production work order structure (KITDOC), the new Pre production tasks icon opens a new popup with a list of elements. Additionally, the material list received a new column, displaying tasks related to specific items in the structure.
To help customers with the expanding list of work that needs to be done before the actual production is started, a new Sales order items pre-production tasks (PPTASKS)application was developed. By opening it in the Program search bar, users not only gain access to the list of all pre-production tasks, but also the possibility to create new types of tasks for item in the customer order structure.

It is now possible to order the SAF-T file for several consecutive periods
Classification: USEFUL
Previously it was only possible to order the SAF-T report for one single period at a time. Now users can select multiple periods using the from-to functionality in the application. For example, users can choose a range from period 202311 to 202312.
Please note that selecting period 12 will automatically include periods 13 and 14 in the SAF-T file.
Revision added as hidden column in the Product (ART) application Classification: USEFUL
Revision has been added as a hidden column in the Products area of the Product (ART) application. As a result, it is now possible to filter on revision and include revision information when exporting to Excel.
The Revision column is added by clicking the Column settings icon, selecting Columns and finally selecting the Revision option. If Revision is not shown in the list of columns, click the Column settings icon and select Reset to default view and try adding it again.
Custom fields available in the Contacts (CNT) application
Classification: USEFUL
Custom fields have now been introduced in the Contacts (CNT) application. Added custom fields are located in the new Custom fields area. The custom fields may be activated as columns in the Contacts area by clicking the Column settings icon and selecting Include custom fields. As a result, it is possible to use custom fields to filter.
Coming: New version of the Quality Issue (QIS) application
Classification: USEFUL
The new version of the Quality Issue (QIS) application will have improved user interface, which will be more intuitive and user friendly. Users will still find all existing functions and features, but also notice that a Summary tab has been added for a quick and easy overview.
The mobile application will also be improved. It will be possible to add pictures and source data when creating a Quality issue via the mobile application.
More information to come in the upcoming weeks.

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.
