RamBase release info - week 47

These changes have been rolled out in RamBase in the past week:



Sales


COMING: Change in how expenses are logged for project orders 

Classification: IMPORTANT

 

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.

Procurement 


Possibility to add notes to purchaser

Classification: USEFUL

 

In the process of creating a production work order involving external work, a new feature has been introduced. Users may now include a note specifically directed to the purchaser. This addition streamlines the communication flow between the creator of the production work order and the purchaser, enhancing both traceability and efficiency.

 

The Note to purchaser field may be found in the structure operation item.

 

The note addressed to the purchaser will be easily visible within the Purchase (PUR) application, located in the newly added Note to purchaser column under the External work tab. Should the text exceed the column's visible length, hovering the cursor over the information icon will display the complete content of the note. Furthermore, users have the flexibility to view, edit, or delete information by simply clicking on this icon. Clicking on it opens a corresponding pop-up relevant to the production work order structure operation item.

 

Sorting can be done by clicking on the Note to Purchaser column header. To filter, users can use Ctrl+F in the Purchase (PUR) application, accessing the PUR Filters pop-up where the Note to Purchaser field is prominently displayed, allowing users to type their filtering text.


Additionally, the existing functionality for notes to suppliers has been allocated a distinct column titled Note to Supplier within the Purchase (PUR) application. This column functions similarly to the Note to purchaser column, with an information icon for easy access and interaction.



QHSES


COMING: New version of the Quality issue (QIS) application 

Classification: IMPORTANT


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.
