  4. MINQTY REPORT Added Bin Location Exclusions in the Min Qty report (to exclude Stock being held for pre-alloctaed items in a Bin Loc that is an aircraft registration)

  7. BOOK-INTO-STOCK - Purchase Orders - Changed logic to check the incoming certificate number for any change, if found changed where the Part number is unchanged then auto-increments the GRN and re-prompts for acceptance (Covers those situations where the same P/no is on a different release document and needs a new GRN)

  8. INVENTORY SCREEN Displays an advisory if there are Purchase Orders open on the Part no.

  9. JOB CONTROL - Added provision to carry across the Purchase Order "Reqd For" data into the Stock and Parts Issued files (for both Approved and Commercial Stores). Added reports to show stock remaining, parts received and issued. In particular, a comparison can be made for Parts issued to a Job against the Purchase Order "Reqd For" intent.

  10. PDF recall for Workrpack and GRNs now auto-supports a sub-path using the first 3-letters of the Job no and first 2-letters of the GRN no. E.g. a Work pack for Jobno "051234/HG" would be saved in WRK_PDF\051\ as a file named as 051234HG.PDF, or a GRN for "G23564" would be GRN_PDF\G2\G23564.PDF. (Helps in managing the number of PDF's folders ). See Technote No 24 for further details

11 March 2011 Rev 5F.11

  4. TIME/JOB: OPEN EDIT JOBS Uncommanded deletes still persisted in Add/Edit of Tasks. Suspect the problem occurs in the filtered "Add" (Ctrl+N) call. Changed the logic of this section to make use of a TMP file for this process and then re-update the main file rather a direct call on the main file

  5. STORES -EDIT BATCH BOOK - Tightened the View Only option in the Batch Book - there was a chance that it could update the file and change data. Also During Edit by AWB, added a check to ensure AWB No is unique by date, allows a direct edit on the AWB to add a suffix if needed (addition was necessitated because the AWB was found repeated for two separate unconnected transactions).
