PPM Updates

We made the following enhancements to PPMs:

The following items are part of the continued development of the new Parts & Inventory module, which will be available for purchase this year. We added:

  • the ability to filter by location attribute when configuring location information for a part request

  • the ability to link to part requests from the Mobile Work Order Summary page

  • new logic for reserving internal or requisition part requests to increase the Reserved quantity at the part location and then move reserved part counts to the Outbound quantity once shipped

  • a part category tree on the left of the Choose parts dialog that filters parts to select for part request creation

  • the ability to transfer parts from one location to another on Mobile

  • the ability to apply a part location or company selection to all parts on a part request when sourcing a request

  • the ability to apply a part location or part space selection to all parts when transferring inventory

  • your Last Viewed part request to the Favorites menu

  • the Part List to Mobile

  • the ability to bill for parts from inventory on a work order invoice

    This setting is off by default. Parts from different locations and part requests show as separate line items.

  • GetAPinvoices API

    JSON formats are now supported and part-request-related data is now present in the invoice details.

  • the ability to add supplier branches for future workforce management development

  • the ability to convert an equipment part to an asset

    This can be required based on asset creation configuration .
