000000240020 Accounts Payable Invoices We need a way to extend the invoice batch numbers available when internal multi-company is in use. Using the PLLASTINVA mechanism isn't possible because this conflicts with the required numbering. Allow the second character of the batch no to be a letter allowing for 3,900 batch no's per internal company as opposed to the 999 currently available now. We will NOT change the no of fields in the batch from 4 characters as this is high risk.

000000240699 Fixed Assets Assets The analysis fields on the asset masterfile are set up as an array and not as individual fields.

Form name is fa, addition, form1.
000000240867 Cash Management Receipts Enter a receipt batch with a Receipt reference of 123 and post it. Then enter a second batch also with a Receipt reference of 123 and on the header screen a popup window displays with the following message WARNING: This transaction reference has been used before for this payee/payer.

When orders are entered manually, this initial value is populated correctly. When a PO is generated automatically via Back to back orders, the field is not being populated.

000000242126 Cash Management Statements Enhancement request for statement entry, require an F7 search facility
000000242130 MS-Housekeeping Spooler Management Add number of copies to paper type setup within spooler management
000000242207 Sales Order Entry & Invoicing Invoice & Credit Print At present, the delivery quantity, list price and order quantity in stocking units ( i.e. qty_delv_st, list_net_st and qty_ord_st ) are designed to only display a value when a conversion exists ( i.e. when the conversion factor is not equal to 1). We want them to print even if the cinversion quantity is 1 - i.e the same as the order unit fields
000000242382 Inventory Control Batches The customer would like the see Free Quantity on the Batches Enquiry, as the currect On Hand quantity will not provide them with the accurate information they require when checking stock availability.
000000243648 Sales Order Entry & Invoicing Quotations We want to extend the header form for quotations / pro-forma’s past 24 lines, (invoices have 2 header forms and we could get the require 28 line header, but quotes / pro-forma’s only have 1 header form). We can not extend the form to fit the stationery.  
000000243942 Inventory Control Stock in the option, stock/enquiries/stock status, select a stock item, F6 for next page and then F2 browse - the quantity field is right justified and the lot number field is left justified. This causes confusion for the customer - as it is a browse form, it cannot be forms edited

000000245542 Purchase Order Processing Receipts System keeps running out of receipt numbers causing archiving to be performed earlier than required. Customer needs extended number range on POLASTREC from 5 to 6 . Was not a problem when using porecpm but with DA0262 using porecp2m system runs out of numbers. 
000000245665 Auditing Audit Control require all Telesales and EDI tables to be available through auditing.
000000245945 MS-Housekeeping Spooler Management Can the year be displayed in the spooler manager

000000247023 Accounts Payable Cash Accounts Payable & Receivable
It should be possible to choose batch-post or not when posting Cash entry to the bank G/L account. The 'post by batch or item' prompt when posting controls the level of detail posted to the Cash management module, however when this module is not used then reconciliation has to be done on the GL account. 
000000247649 Accounts Payable Authorised Invoice Posting The screen displays all the invoices that are available to be posted.  The date on this screen shows the invoice date but does not show the effective date. We don't want to be able to amend the effective date in this option but needs it to display so that we can pick up if it is incorrect before postings occur.

000000249800 Job Costing Remove Completed Jobs We want to be able to delete job codes that have been put on the system in error, using the remove completed jobs option within JC.  Housekeeping removes ALL completed jobs, we don't want to do this, we want to be able to enter eg a range to specify what jobs they do enter.
000000250452 TCR Installation The tcr-user's password is hard-coded. This is not good security - we want to be able to set it ourselves.
000000250607 General Ledger Journal Entry In GL journal entry the users would like the posting code entered on the last journal line to copy down to the next journal line. Very often there are several lines in the same journal that have the same posting code but where the amounts need to be split or only one element of the posting code needs to be changed, an example would be an insurance invoice that has to be split on several different locations. The journal entry will simply be quicker if the last posting code is copied to the next.
000000250654 Accounts Receivable Transactions In Transaction Enquiry, with posted option = b or n, unposted registered invoices are shown, with nothing in the Open Amount column. However, the F10 print includes the amounts in the Open | Credit column. F10 print needs to show 0 or blank in the open amount too.
000000250787 Sales Order Entry & Invoicing Sales Orders On the product analysis report we require the customer order number to be displayed. We would like the customer_order field to be available on the order_product_anal print form.

000000251319 Sales Order Entry & Invoicing Prices Using sop, enquiry, prices - on the f2 browse for customer you get option to search on alpha or customer code, but on the product you only get option to browse on alpha code. We would like the facility to browse on product code.
000000251353 General Ledger Transactions The analysis codes data is held in the 'nl_transactions' table in fields 'analysis_code1', 'analysis_code2' & 'analysis_code3'. We would like to be able to include these fields in the following forms: 'transaction_enquiry, hist_print', and 'trial_balance,print_form'.
010404-0156W Sales Order Entry & Invoicing Sales Invoices We would like sales orders to retain the exchange rates, so that orders are invoiced at the same exchange rate as when the order was raised.  At the moment this is not possible as the sales order does not hold the exchange rate. 
030204-0145Y General Ledger Commitment Enquiry  It would be useful to have an `F4 End page` as reading a rather large amount of commitments to find just one near the end is time-consuming.
030204-01463 Project Accounting Project Deletion With the system key POMARKDEL set to YES, when a PO is deleted it is only flagged to be deleted. If you try to delete a project with everything else updated to allow deletion, it cannot be deleted as an error is given saying that a PO exists for the project. To delete the project, Remove Completed Orders must be run to physically remove the order. A PO at status deleted should not block deletion of a project.
051203-013F2 Repetitive Route Scheduling Drivers Would like the option of being able to delete drivers and vehicles, povided they are inactive.
070404-015B4 Material Requirements Planning MRP/MPS Analysis report The customer would like bulk items to be included in Generate MRP Recommendations, possibly by the addition of a yes / no field on the Generate MRP Recommendations screen. Running Reorder Recommendations independently of MRP Recommendations is not practical for the customer. They anticipate that this would lead to an increase in the number of works/purchase orders as one would be generated if stock was below reorder level and a second if there was a forecast requirement etc.
101203-013GU Works Order Processing Works Order Issues The customer would like a warning message in works order issues by batch if a duplicate works order number is entered. 
110204-014BZ Cash Management Statements When importing Cash Management Statement on the import file can the debit and credit be in the same column & Identified by a minus (-) sign within that column. Note - There is no column that easily id's if dr or cr. e.g. Int can be dr or cr.
121203-013IR General Ledger Journal Entry In Journal entry, the user has created a std journal, they would like to insert a line mid way.
160404-015FU Auditing Audit Enquiry by Table The customer would like the works_order table to be included in the tables you are able to audit.
160404-015G6 Accounts Payable Invoices When entering a purchase invoice for a foreign supplier, you can enter the foreign currency amount, and the exchange rate field is amendable, but you cannot amend the local amount. Could there be functionality that will open up this field to allow the user to enter the local amount aswell as the foreign amount.
170504-015YF Bills Of Material Assemblies Customer would like the deletion of items from Assemblies to be reported in the system log.
180304-014Z9 Works Order Processing Works Order Trial Kitting The customer would like the long description to be available on the Works Order Trial Kitting report. 
190304-014ZE General Ledger Posting Code Generation In General Ledger  > Create/amend Master Files > Posting Code Generation.  We would like an option with the same functionality as option three in the location specified, but without the need to give a range, ie we would like the ability to enter one cost centre and one account code instead of a range.  It is usual that users only need to create one code at a time and codes that they do need to create are rarely in a range.  
190504-015ZE Accounts Payable Invoices You can enter an invalid Short name in AP invoice entry without any error message or warning to the user. 
230204-014I8 Purchase Order Processing Purchase Orders The customer would like the nlcode field to be available for use on the form po_printing, print_form_2.
250204-014JU Purchase Order Processing Purchase Orders In the Purchase Orders option (and in the PO enquiry), when browsing for orders, the customer would like the order date to be displayed as an extra column. E.G. POP > Tasks > Purchase Orders...browse on the order number field, select a display sequence and note that there are 4 columns...order number, supplier code, order alpha code and status.  They would like order date added as an extra column.
260104-0140O Bills Of Material Assembly Trial Kitting The customer would like MRP recommendations to be optionally included in the predict future stock facility (F8 STOCK) in the Assembly Trial Kitting option (Manufacturing > Bills of Material > Enquiries).
270104-0141Z Work In Progress Work in Progress Tracking We would like the ability to remove the CR-Yes button from the popup message, Work order has not yet been issued - ws_wip_tracking, wo_not_issued.  Ideally a system key to control this.
We require this feature because we wish to prevent users from entering Wip against not issued work orders.  Currently there is no way to prevent users from entering Wip against a work order that has not been issued, other than the current warning message that can easily be overridden by selecting the CR-Yes.
290104-0143B Requisitions Buyer Activity We would like the browse in Buyer Activity to display in requisition number order. 
290304-0153L Purchase Order Processing Purchase Orders Customer wants to print more than 40 characters per line in a comment
