Potential Breaking Changes


MIE Solutions ©

Security • Invoice line security has been added to add, edit and delete line items. This

enables the ability to have line editing and deleting but not the entire invoice editing and deleting. Turn on as appropriate.

• Work order comment edit security level has been added. Turn on as appropriate

• Security level has been added for router editing of RUN TIME and SU TIME

• Security options have been added for integrity checks, inventory transfer report, quality control-corrective action request, scheduling white board, work order Gantt chart, work order collection quick add.

• Security levels have been updated to make them correct in AR Aging and AP areas where some were backwards.


MIE Solutions ©

Reports

• Performance improvement for quickviews which need work order tracking information. We added Tracking and NextWorkCenter as columns in the WorkOrderRelease table which does not require a special query to grab that information. We changed this on the work order query report so you should change your expressions to be WorkOrderRelease_NextWorkCenter and WorkOrderRelease_Tracking


MIE Solutions ©

Division Parameters Features

• Set Email PDF Limit - Under the invoice tab you have the new parameter to Set Email PDF limit quantity. This tells MIE Trak how many PDF’s to put on a single email.

• Save User Preferences In Database - There is a new division parameter under the miscellaneous tab to turn on grid saving to the database.

• Purchase By Division - There is a new division parameter under purchasing called ‘Purchase By Division’ which allows purchasing by inventory to be done at the division level.

• BillOfMaterialMarkupAsCost - This new division parameter will put the bill of material costs as the cost + markup on the BOM items in quoting. This is where the idea of the markups are actually “costs” Examples would be handling costs and overhead associated with the purchasing. When you do the global markup/margin percent it will be based on the costs.

• Use Actual Costs On SubCompletions. This division parameter gives you the option when issuing product subs to work orders to use the actual work order costing versus your accounting costing method. This only works if the completions originally are done with a lot number in the format of WO####. When the issuing even happens MIE Trak looks up the work order associated o the lot number and grabs that cost.

• Omit Zero Lines On Invoices Creation from Pick list- This option will not add items to pick lists which do not have quantities.

• Division parameter to disable issuing automatically when an outside processing receiver is confirmed.

• Division parameter to explode kits and keep prices on subs or not.


MIE Solutions ©

• Division parameter under the Kiosk menu. Print Work Order Completion label. This option will enable the work order completion label functionality from the Kiosk. If there is only a single location and no lot number the quantity for the label will default to the quantity you are completing.

• Division parameter called ‘Copy Quote Markup To RFQ’ will always use the markup on the quote versus the actual markup on the quote (sell versus cost). Have this checked if you want the calculation to remain as it was previously.

• Division parameter option to turn have available to promise screen include forecasts.

** BIG FEATURE ** New division parameter in the miscellaneous tab to use existing module tab when drilling down


MIE Solutions ©

Change PO Receiver rejection quantities has been changed. There is a new division parameter called Use Qty Not Accepted For Performance. The key is the NOT ACCEPTED field on the receiver line item is used as the rejection quantity on the supplier performance report. This can be populated two ways.

• The first way is if you enter the value manually.

• The 2nd way is if there is a quality entry for the receiver line then the quantity rejected from the quality control entry will get copied to the receiver line quantity not accepted.

• If the division parameter is false, then the negative quantity on the receiver line is what is used in the supplier performance.

GOOD NEWS a) We now have 350 report templates available in the various modules.

b) A big feature allowing MIE Trak RFQ’s from customers to be associated with

suppliers in order to send RFQ’s back to your suppliers for items from your customers. Example, you do sheet metal but you outsource machining. You can actually set the MIE Trak RFQ to your suppliers and track their pricing.

c) We now have 48 Quick View templates. In the quick view module, you can select template to select some pre-created quick views. We will continue to add more quick view templates.


MIE Solutions ©

BIG NOTE: • By the next beta release, we are going to drop support from Windows XP.

Microsoft is not supporting XP and we cannot move to DOT NET 4.6 until that point which offers some nice benefits for garbage collection and performance. Start preparing now.

• WE WILL BE MOVING TO DOT NET 4.6 THIS, PLEASE UPDATE YOUR WINDOWS SYSTEM. BARCODING WILL NOT BE SUPPORTED ON WINDOWS XP.

The first time MIE Trak will create work orders only for TOP LEVEL SALES ORDERS. When these work orders are created they will use the routers default Fab/Pull settings for each sub component. Once those work orders are created MIE Trak MRP will run once again and then create work orders for everything else based on the latest demand.

required rounded up to the nearest whole number. Put Back – This option will put back into inventory the quantity

specified.


MIE Solutions ©

The reason this has been added is the concept of removing everything off the rack when taking the material. You would hit the Pull All.

Inspection Module

We have been working on the inspection module cleanup and it is looking good. You can see some of the changes by creating inspection templates for the router. When you release a work order you will see those inspection pages displayed. These all fall under the category of Quality and fall under the quality menu and quality tabs on the appropriate screens.

Here is an example part which you would want inspection information stored.

1. Open the router you wish to add inspection to.

2. Click the Inspection tab, then click the button under templates, the Router

Inspection window will open.

3. Double click your Template, in our example ‘Router Part Inspection’ then click the button. There will now be a line under templates and you will be returned to the router.

4. Click the button to the left of the new row, this will open up the Router Inspection Window. Currently there will one dimension in there (the Material Thickness dimension we setup in our template).

5. Click the button to the left of the dimension, this will open up the Router

Inspection Window (a) Dim Ref – this can be populated with a bubble id to reference on the

print, i.e. A1

(b) Dimension – this is the dimension you are checking, normally a number i.e. .104, in this case we will however just put ‘Material Thickness’.

(c) Maximum – this is the top tolerance dimension. If your dimension was .032 +/- .005, this would be .037.

(d) Minimum – this is the bottom tolerance dimension. If your dimension was .032 +/- .005, this would be .027.

(e) Sequence – this is where you select the workcenter sequence this dimension applies to or, more accurately, which sequence it needs to be checked at.

(f) Frequency – this is a reference you can use to tell you how often you want parts checked, every x part can be entered here.

(g) Dim Qty – this is a reference you can use to point out that the same dimension may be called in multiple places if you do not wish to have it in your inspection multiple times.

(h) Comment – this is a reference field you can use to pass information on this inspection dimension to be referenced when doing the inspection.

(i) Click the button to save this record.

6. Click the button above to add a new dimension to check. Complete Steps

5(a) through 5(i) to add each additional dimension required. You can also delete dimensions using the button or copy another dimension by clicking the button.

7. When done you can rename the description of the whole inspection list if you would like, we will rename this to In Process Inspection. This can be named whatever you would like and is specific only to this Inspection List on this Router. Another good use of this would be having one for first article.

8. Check the Copy On W.O. Release if you would like this Inspection List to be added to work orders as they are released for this router. You can have multiple selected on one router, if this is the case all selected will be added to the work order, you can delete them from the work order if there are more than needed there (i.e. first article and in process).

9. Click the button when done.

10. You can copy existing Inspection Lists to easily make another by clicking the button, this copies the inspection list along with all dimensions in it. A good use of this would be to make a first article inspection first, then copy it, rename it to in process, then delete the dimensions that aren’t required for that inspection list.
