Previously, if the user had 'no priority' specified for the warehouse in the user profile created in User Preferences F/M (SMF440), the ship via shows as invalid in Ship-To F/M (ARF920) when trying to save a record with a valid Customer Ship Via value.
In the FACTS 7.8.1 release, the Ship Via field search functionality was corrected in Ship-To F/M (ARF920) and enhanced to allow the user to select any valid warehouse and display ship-vias for all warehouses to choose from in the following programs: Ship-To F/M (ARF920), Customer F/M (ARF910), Customer Defaults F/M (ARF840) and Unbilled Freight F/M (SOF940). Previously, the Ship Via search displayed only a single warehouse’s ship via values.

The Transfer Receipt Confirmation (ICE340) program was modified to allow the shipment number to be entered rather than select from list. If there is only one shipping number available to be received, then no additional user interface is presented and that shipping number is automatically displayed. A new Require User Entry of Ship# setting on the Transfers tab of IC Static Control F/M (ICF980) allows the setting of this feature.
IC Static Control F/M (ICF980) (Updated from Defect 397175)
The Transfers tab of IC Static Control F/M (ICF980) was updated to contain a new Require User Entry of Ship# setting to allow the shipment number to be entered Transfer Receipt Confirmation (ICE340) rather than select from list.
The values for the Frozen Controls category in Replenishment Parameter Maintenance (ICF990) are now written to both the ICWHSE and ICREPL data tables. The replenishment parameters in the Frozen Controls category also now allow the user to enter frozen values for rank, safety stock, line point, order point, order quantity and lead time in Replenishment Parameter Maintenance. Changes made in Replenishment Parameter Maintenance are reflected in Warehouse Item F/M (ICF920) immediately. Selecting No to save changes when navigating away from the record in Warehouse Item F/M does not remove the changes applied to the record from Replenishment Parameter Maintenance. Additionally when the user accesses Replenishment Parameter Maintenance from Warehouse Item F/M, the system may prompt the user to save changes when displaying information.
A new Default Buyer tab was added to Warehouse F/M (ICF970) to maintain the warehouse level hierarchy for the review cycle. The normal buyer for the warehouse, review cycle (minimum, maximum and current days between normal replenishment orders) information and buying target amounts are entered here. Note that this information can also be entered in Replenishment Parameter Maintenance (ICF990), under the Review Cycle parameter.
Processing changes were made to Replenishment Parameter Maintenance (ICF990) so the user can now specify a default buyer under the Review Cycle parameter. In Replenishment Parameter Maintenance, specify the To Warehouse (Warehouse) to setup the buyer. Edit the line and select the scope "B - Warehouse (default buyer)" and make any changes to the other fields for targets, notes, and so on. Note that this information can also be entered on the new Default Buyer tab of Warehouse F/M (ICF970) to maintain the warehouse level hierarchy for the review cycle.
A new Emergency Buy option was added to the Buyers Control Center (POE400) and Buyers Control Center Detail (POE405) screens . When selected, the option removes the display of items with quantities above order point.
The Buyers Control Center Detail (POE405) screen was modified so that processing now verifies that suggested transfer lines still exist when loading the line grid or when creating transfers from the Buyers Control Center. If the suggested transfer was used (for surplus, from the Customer Returns System, etc.) and is no longer on file, the system displays a message prompting the user to review the changes.
In FACTS 7.8.1, replenishment processing enhancements were made to include a default buyer for a warehouse, so that if a buyer does not exist for an approved replenishment path (ARP), a default is now available for returns, purchase orders (procurement) and transfers to be processed in the Buyers Control Center. For example, the new default buyer can be used for special orders and Order-as-Needed (OAN) items for a path that is not part of the normal replenishment process. The default buyer will also be applied for transfers processed from the Buyers Control Center if the Review Cycle does not exist for a given ARP (Warehouse + From Warehouse).
Processing changes were made to Replenishment Parameter Maintenance (ICF990) so the user can now specify a default buyer under the Review Cycle parameter. In Replenishment Parameter Maintenance, specify the To Warehouse (Warehouse) to setup the buyer. Edit the line and select the scope "B - Warehouse (default buyer)" and make any changes to the other fields for targets, notes, and so on. Note that this information can also be entered on the new Default Buyer tab of Warehouse F/M (ICF970) to maintain the warehouse level hierarchy for the review cycle.
With the new default buyer setup for a warehouse, the Buyers Control Center (POE400) program will display a line for each ARP associated with the default buyer. These lines are the ‘temporary’ ARP for the given Warehouse + Vendor or Warehouse + From Warehouse and do not have a specific Warehouse + Vendor or Warehouse + From Warehouse scope set up in Replenishment Parameter Maintenance. The lines will not appear in the Buyers Control Center until the user selects the Recalculate All option and will remain unprocessed without further action.
Additional changes to the Buyers Control Center now allow any buyer, by default, to view all open returns and assume any return. In the Buyers Control Center, now when a user specifies a buyer and selects Returns, drilling to the detail of the return will tie the return to the buyer and when creating purchase orders, the buyer will be entered on the purchase order. If the user backs out of the detail view without creating a PO, the return path (Warehouse + Vendor) will become available to other buyers.
A new lookup/selection function for past invoice specific serial/lots was added to the Customer Returns Entry (SOE810) program. The new lookup is specific to the past invoice (when a past invoice is provided).
The Ship Via field search functionality was enhanced to allow the user to select any valid warehouse and display ship-vias for all warehouses. Previously, the Ship Via search displayed only a single warehouse’s ship via values.
In the Order Review (SOE230) program, a new drop box was added to the screen to replace the Salesperson field. On the initial display of the program, the drop box option defaults to Salesperson. The user can change the drop box selection to be Inside Salesperson or Second Salesperson. Changing the drop box selection immediately updates the lines shown in the grid below. The column header in the line grid displays an abbreviated heading: Sls, 2 Sls, or I Sls to indicate which drop box selection (type of salesperson) was specified and displayed.
