Take a detailed look at the applications listed below: 


  • Manufacturing record book (MRB) and the Manufacturing record book templates (MRBTEMPLATES) applications

The Manufacturing record book (MRB) application is an easy to use, overview application ensuring that all document requirements are met, and allows the user to efficiently take advantage of the foundation laid in the daily documentation process of serious manufacturers.


The Manufacturing record book (MRB) uses documents gathered from both external and internal sources based on requirements from the customer and combines them into one book in PDF format. 


The book is put together using a detailed specification-template defined by customers and their demands for final product documentation. 


This detailed specification-template is effortlessly built in the Manufacturing record book templates (MRBTEMPLATES) application where the user can even add template files to be inserted wherever.

Additionally, through permissions, administrators can easily manage who gains access to files tagged with a specific file type. Moreover, the application supports marking externally owned uploaded files and customizing the approval requirements for files tagged with specific file types. It is also possible to specify mandatory files for upload and specify if these should be included in a Manufacturing record book (MRB). 

 

The File types (FIT) application has plenty of additional customization options.

 

The setup in the File type (FIT) application is connected to the Document approval (DAP) application, where uploaded files are inspected and approved.

QHSES


Preview quality issue report in a single PDF document  

Classification: USEFUL



You can now generate a preview of the quality issue report, allowing you to view all registered data on the Quality issue (QIS) in a single PDF document.

 

This functionality is accessible in the Quality issue details (QISD) application via the context menu option, Preview QIS report.



Logistics


Ensure that your purchased and received goods match with an enhanced manufacturer part name validation 

Classification: USEFUL



A manufacturer part name is a unique alphanumeric code assigned by a manufacturer to identify a specific product. In RamBase, this is set in the Product (ART) application by selecting the Properties tab, followed by the MPN sub-tab.

 

We are now adding an enhanced manufacturer part name validation when forwarding to Goods reception (SSA).

 

This safeguard is to ensure that purchased items match with the received items, and to provide approvers options when encountering cases of mismatch. The Goods reception item (SSAITEM) will in those cases be stopped from being registered as stock.

 

The validation applies to the following applications, where the user can forward Purchase order items (SPOITEM) and Purchase order response items (SOAITEM) to Goods reception (SSA):

  • Receive goods (RPP)

  • Purchase order item (SPOITEM)

  • Purchase order response item (SOAITEM)

The validation message and the approval rights can be configured to your preferences:

  • Company settings (CSV) - Deactivate approval message - mismatch between purchased and received MPN

    • When providing the Manufacturer part name, if there is a mismatch, a yellow warning icon will be displayed next to the field, along with an error message stating “Mismatch between purchased MPN and received MPN”.

  • Approval rules (APC) - Approve mismatch between purchased MPN and received MPN

    • Configure which users and roles can, and must, give approval in situations where there is a manufacturer part name  mismatch. Default approvers can also be set.
