207: Build 21.3.12 released
Dave Nichols, 30/04/2009

Build 21.3.12 has now been released (01/05/09).

This build has been tested in-house, however we cannot guarantee it to be problem free.

The major changes in this release are:

• The various PDF documents and help files have been integrated into a unified help system.
• The scheduler stock allocation algorithm has been enhanced so that it will allocate physical stock to low priority jobs due 'now' as long in so doing it does not compromise high priority jobs due 'later'. It will let the physical stock go 'now' provided it can be replaced in time to meet the 'later' demand.
• The concept of a 'requisition' has been introduced. A 'requsition' is a requirement for (extra) kit for an approved job. They are created by editing the kit list. Such requisitions are processed by the planning system like any other demand, causing it to buy/make or allocate appropriate stock. This means shop-floor staff can ask for more material by editing the kit list, and its brought to the attention of the planners in the usual way.
• The works order approval rules have been relaxed such that a works order is allowed to be approved even if its kit has not been ordered yet. Doing so creates a 'requisition' to the planning system. The planning system takes whatever steps are necessary to ensure stock is acquired to meet the requisition demand.
• As usual, a set of requested tweaks and twiddles as part of the support program.
