Release Notes: Version 11.28

New Features:

  • Scenarios:
    Status/Progress indicator for Scenario creation

    • When copying
      scenarios, a new scenario tab will be shown immediately to notify the user that
      a scenario is being copied. The new scenario tab will show a loading screen
      while the scenario is being prepared.
  • Add cycles to consume
    current shift or cycle’s Capacity

    • Two new options
      were added to the functionality “Add Cycles to” found in the Gantt
      Block’s right-click menu. These options areFill capacity before the end of next
      offline intervalFill capacity before the end of next cleanout interval

Corrected Issues:

  • Inventory Plan: New
    show materials button

    • A new Show
      Materials button column has been added to more easily trace material usage
      between jobs. It will show the Materials Grid filtered for the operation
      responsible for the material adjustment.
  • Advance the clock
    causing a Divide by Zero error

    • Fixed an issue
      that would cause an error during clock advance when auto reporting progress.
  • Scenario size growing
    • Fixed an issue
      where scenario memory demand could increase due to undo settings.
  • Optimize: Doesn’t
    account for Department Specific Frozen Span
  • Selecting ‘Move’ in
    Activity right-click menu causes an exception
  • Lots: Improvements
    • Simplified the
      process to import lots. Lots are now published when publishing
      inventory. When importing lots for a lot controlled item, the on-hand
      value for the inventory must be 0, or omitted.

Minor Changes:

  • Optimize duration
    shows differently when users are in different timezones

    • Fixed an issue
      that would show Optimize timing messages without accounting for the user’s
      timezone.
  • Usability Improvements
    • There is now an
      option from right clicking an operation in the gantt and an option in the Jobs
      grid to show material requirements in the Materials grid. The Materials
      grid now shows Lot Code and Past Planning Horizon column. Gantt colors have
      been updated. Most colors are now brighter and easier to read. Overtime has
      been changed to a dark pink color and potential overtime has been changed to a
      light pink color (previously white with a red border). Material links now
      distinguish between material requirements and products. Highlighting/Fading has
      been improved when selecting lower level objects (Operation, Activity,
      etc). Grid performance improved when filtering on certain column types.
      Grids will also cancel more quickly when loading large data sets, reducing
      delay between actions.
  • Capacity Plan:
    Improvements

    • Updated some
      default capacity plan settings.
  • InventoryPlot: Add
    ability to find in Operation in Gantt

    • Added a new
      operation column in the Inventory plan plot details. This column will quickly
      find the operation responsible for the inventory adjustment.
  • Resource CapacityType:
    change to not be required for import

    • Changed
      Resource CapacityType to not be required for resource import.
  • Grids: Data fails to
    load and grid doesn’t show any rows

    • Fixed an issue
      where a UDF that is imported with a value that doesn’t match its type causes a
      grid to fail to load data. Now, row values that can’t be evaluated will display
      an error to the user and logged. The data in those columns will need to be
      fixed in order to be used in the associated grid.
  • Activities Grid: Add
    expected usages columns
