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

Quickly access a Product structure (KITART) via a new column in Project order items (PODITEM)
Classification: USEFUL
Structure is now available as a hidden column for Project order items (PODITEM).
For products with a structure, the Inspect Standard kit icon will be displayed in the column.
Clicking the icon will open the Product (KITART) application where the structure of the product can be viewed and edited.
The functionality is also available via the context menu option, Standard product structure.
The Structure column is added by clicking the Column settings icon, selecting Columns and finally selecting the preferred column option. If the newly added option is not listed in the available columns, click the Column settings icon and select Reset to default view and try adding the column again.
Maintain traceability control in Project orders (POD) by requiring serial numbers for consumption of material
Classification: IMPORTANT
The purpose of the Project order (POD) application is to have a tool that can be used to provide a cost/price estimate in advance, and a place to log hours and to follow up logistics after a project order has been started.
RamBase will expand the functionality of the Project order (POD) application by adding a new feature to increase traceability control.
The feature includes the option of setting a requirement that all material, which are consumed in a Project order item (PODITEM), must be added a serial number.
A created Project order item (PODITEM) will inherit the selection from the Require serial number before shipping checkbox, which is set in the Product (ART) application. Note that the option of overruling this selection will be available in the Project order item (PODITEM) application.
The users can scan serial numbers when picking with the Pick (PODPICK) application with a hand held terminal, or with the RamBase mobile application for Project order (POD). The user can also use the desktop application.
For Project order items (PODITEM) requiring serial numbers, a validation will be made when confirming consumption of material. This is to check if the serial number requirement is fulfilled. If not, the user will not be allowed to confirm the consumption.
Please note that this new feature will only be valid for Project order items (PODITEM) that are created after release, and it will have no impact on existing Project order items (PODITEM).

To enhance efficiency and overview within the production module the following improvements have been introduced:
The Production work order menu (PWOMENU) application
The Production work orders menu (PWOMENU) lists all Production work orders (PWO) in an easy to use interface. The new application serves as an alternative to the Production work orders (PWO) application with the added functionality of the Productions tab from the Production planning (PRODPLAN) application.
In the future, it will replace both the Production work order (PWO) and the Production planning (PRODPLAN) applications.
The Scheduled production jobs (SPJ) application
Handling individual Production work orders (PWO) can be time consuming. Especially if your Production work orders (PWO) have complex structures, with equally complex subproductions.
The Scheduled production jobs (SPJ) application mitigates this as it makes it easier to efficiently schedule operations on multiple Production work orders (PWO).
The Order overview (OOV) application
The Orders overview (OOV) application lists all open Sales order items (COAITEM) requiring a Production work order (PWO). It is an alternative to the Production backlog customer backlog (PBCOA).
The extensive filtering options allow for arranging all open Sales order items (COAITEM) according to the users' needs.
The Inspect subproductions (PWOTREE) application
The Inspect subproductions (PWOTREE) application is an overview application tailored for Production work orders (PWO) with subproductions. The application grants overview by displaying the subproductions in relation to a main Production work order (PWO).
The Inspect subproductions (PWOTREE) application works in the context of a Production work order (PWO) and is available in the Order overview (OOV) and Schedule production jobs (SPJ) applications.
A new report is now available in the Received supplier invoices and credit notes (ISI) application
Classification: USEFUL
The new report allows users to gain insight into the history of how products are matched. The report displays an overview of how the matching between supplier product name and RamBase Products (ART) was done, for imported invoices.
The Report for imported invoice product matchingis available in the context menu by selecting the View report for product matching option.
Create supplier invoice based on purchase order in the Received supplier invoices and credit notes (ISI) application
Classification: USEFUL
The Received supplier invoices and credit notes (ISI) application now has a new option for creating the Supplier invoice (SIN) directly from the Purchase order (SPO). The current solution requires a match for each item line to ensure high quality and helps in detecting discrepancies or errors at a granular level.
The new functionality is specifically tailored for situations where users wish to conduct their own validations regarding item lines, providing them with greater control and flexibility in their invoicing processes.
By choosing the Create supplier invoice based on purchase order option in the context menu, a popup window appears, displaying the applicable Purchase orders (SPO). The list of orders is sorted based on the best match considering PO number and amount. Users can review the list of Purchase orders (SPO) presented in the pop-up window and select the appropriate one. Selecting an item for deviation creates an item line with any residual amount, facilitating manual handling of discrepancies.

Custom fields in the Project order (POD) and Project order item (PODITEM) applications
