Manufacturing

Include Postprocessing Lead Time in Cumulative Lead Time Calculations

You can now set up postprocessing lead time for make items in the item definition, which is included in the calculation of cumulative manufacturing lead time and cumulative total lead time.

Integrate and Extend Product Genealogy Capabilities Using REST Services

This update provides REST web services that support and simplify integration with external systems for genealogy data. Genealogy data comes from various transactions related to genealogy objects, such as lot and serial-controlled products and materials, and their parent-child relationships. External genealogy data can come from integrations with suppliers, contract manufacturing, outside processing, third party logistics, and warehouse management. Supported genealogy transactions include inventory transactions, work order operation transactions, work order material transactions, and work order output transactions.

Manage Genealogy Objects Using a REST Service

Use the Genealogy Objects REST service to create, update, and read genealogy object instances and transactions.

Manage Genealogy Relationships Using a REST Service

Use the Genealogy Relationships REST service to create, update, and read genealogy relationships.

Quality Management

Assign User Roles as Mandatory or Optional Workflow Approvers

Assign user roles as mandatory or optional approvers to quality object workflows. When you submit a quality issue or quality action for approval, each user role is automatically expanded to show the full list of approvers assigned to that role.

Prevent Deletion of Quality Issue or Quality Action Types That Are in Use

Prevent the deletion of quality issue or action object types that are already in use with tighter checks across all issues and actions.  If you attempt to delete a type that is already in use, an error message lets you know that it can’t be deleted.

See Meaningful Names Within the Actions List in Application Composer

See meaningful, self-explanatory action names within the Actions list in Application Composer when you design quality issue and action objects.

Remove Approve and Reject Buttons on Approval of a Quality Issue or Action

Remove the Approve and Reject buttons from the user interface as soon as the approval process is complete and the quality issue or quality action reaches the submission stage. You don't have to reopen the page for the buttons to be removed.

View Name, User Name, and Email When You Search for Users

View additional columns such as Name, User Name, and Email in the search results when you add users to the Security tab or as Approvers to a workflow for quality issues and actions. When you search for a role, the role code is also visible in the search results.
