New Features

Commodity Procurement

NS-3530 Added Hold Codes to CP Tickets

A new feature was added to the Commodity Procurement module to allow users to place CP tickets on hold. When Hold Codes are being configured in the system, the CP ticket status field can be set to be disabled when the hold code is applied to a ticket.

This work item included the following changes:

  • A new Master File “Hold Codes” was added to the Commodity Procurement module. The file allows users to create/modify hold codes. The control status must be set to Disabled: “Yes” in order to disable the status field when the hold code is applied to a ticket. The Master File is installed with a Default hold code.
  • A new field “Hold Code” was added to the CP Ticket record to allow users to place tickets on hold.
  • A new column “On Hold” was added to the Tickets list view. The column displays “Yes” if the ticket is currently placed on hold.

NS-3565 Changed Customer Favorites to Update when Item Setup is Changed

Previously, when an item was updated by changing the Manage Item By or UOM schedule properties, the Unit/Weight/Price UOM on customer/address item favorites were not updated. Now, the customer/address favorites are updated if the item setup is changed:

  • Units/Weight UOM is removed from the item favorite, if the Item Managed By property is changed and the item is no longer managed by units or weight (e.g. Weight UOM is removed from an item favorite that was previously managed by Units& Weight and is now managed by Units Only).
  • Units/Weight UOM defaults from the Item Sales Order Unit/Weight UOM, if the Item Managed By property is changed from Units/Weight only to Units and Weight.
  • Units/Weight UOM are defaulting from the Item Sales Order Units/Weight UOM, if the Item UOM schedule is changed and the configured units/weight UOMs do not belong to the new schedule.

Also, a new validation was added to UOM schedules to prevent users from removing UOMs from the schedule, if the UOM is assigned to a default UOM on an item record.
