RamBase Cloud ERP release info - week 11

The following updates have been added to RamBase Cloud ERP:


Procurement 


Net weight field in Purchase order (SPO) and Purchase quote (SQU) 

Classification: USEFUL



A new Net weight field is now available at the main level in the Purchase order (SPO) and Purchase quote (SQU) applications.

 

The field displays the total net weight in kilograms, calculated based on the weight of all included products. Packaging material is excluded from this calculation.

 

This enhancement provides a clearer overview of the total product weight directly within the document.



Logistics


 

Direct placement of goods in stock location during Goods reception (SSA) creation 

Classification: USEFUL



A new feature makes it possible to place goods directly into a stock location at the same time as the Goods reception (SSA) is created and prepared for PUTAWAY.

 

When forwarding a single Purchaser order (SPO) or Response item (SOAITEM) to Goods reception (SSA), a pop-up window will now allow the user to select a stock location.

 

If a preferred stock location has been defined for the Product (ART), it will automatically be suggested in the pop-up. The user can, however, overrule the suggested location and select another stock location if needed.

 

This functionality is controlled by the new Company setting (CSV) Move received goods directly to stock location. The feature can only be used in combination with the following Company settings (CSV) Max 1 item per goods reception (SSA) and Directly prepare goods reception for put away.



Production


Update to the calculation of Goods reception item (SSAITEM) price changes 

Classification: USEFUL


A new warning symbol will be shown next to the Price field of Goods reception items (SSAITEM) when the stock value of the produced goods has been manually adjusted. This means that the associated Goods reception item (SSAITEM) will no longer be updated when the price of raw materials or the price on sub product structures is changed. This update prevents incorrect Goods reception item (SSAITEM) prices and ensures that manual cost adjustments are not overridden. 



Rental


Cross-currency Recurring rate (RRT) selection in Rental contracts (RCS) 

Classification: USEFUL



Recurring rental rates (RRT) can now be selected across currencies when creating Rental contract items (RCTITEM). If a rate is defined in a different currency than the contract, the system automatically converts it to the contract currency using the daily exchange rate.

 

Previously, rates had to match the contract currency, requiring companies to maintain duplicate rate tables across multiple currencies. This enhancement reduces administrative effort and allows existing rates to be reused more easily. When a rate in another currency is selected, the converted value is stored as a new recurring rate of type Special

 

This rate contains a reference to the original rate used for the conversion, ensuring traceability. Users can also adjust the suggested price during creation, for example to round decimals.

 

This functionality reduces the need to maintain duplicate rate structures across currencies while ensuring consistent pricing behavior aligned with current exchange rates.



Finance


Handling of Fixed assets under construction 

Classification: USEFUL



RamBase now supports improved handling of Fixed assets under construction, allowing investments to be accumulated before activation and depreciation.

 

Assets can be marked as Under Construction in the Fixed asset register (FAR) and moved to Status 2 – Construction in progress. A new indicator and a dedicated Under construction account (defined in the Depreciation rule (DPR) ensure clear tracking and correct accounting.

 

A new Investments tab allows users to register costs during the construction period, either from incoming invoices or as manual entries. All investments are posted to the Under construction account, with automatic reversing entries if investments are removed.

 

When the asset is ready, it can be activated and moved to Status 3 – Planned for depreciation. The accumulated value is then transferred to the fixed asset balance account, and normal depreciation begins.
