Hello again, For the many many people who viewed this and didn't know or share the answer, it was far more simple than i expected to be, simply, Tools - Options - Allow Multiple Applications - True.

Hi Guys, We have recently upgraded to 2007, we are presently working in a database labelled 'Live' and training/testing in databases labelled 'Train' & 'Test'. We would like to be able to use two databases simultaneously on the same desktop. Presently we have to log out and log in again on...

Hi Max, Thanks very much for that info. I will discuss it with the powers that be and see what comes of it. Thanks again, Tony

Hi Max, Thanks for that. What presently happens is as you describe, the operator (me) adjusts quantitiy during backflush. FG is set at 1 box but FG BOM contains an increment of a pallet, i.e. if one full pallet holds 75 boxes then the FG BOM for one box utilises 1/75th of a pallet. If we...

Hi Guys, Is it possible to individually set the decimal places used on one particular item number to be differrent to all other item numbers? The problem we have is that we use 'Works Order Receipt Backflush - 16.12' to create finished products using Bills of Materials. Every Bill of...

Hi, Generally Works Orders are created on Friday and can be used anytime upto and including the following Saturday. So a possible 8 days between creation and consumption. Regards.

Hi All, Our production planner has asked an interesting question. We have recently installed a new production line (we make fruit juice) as an expansion to an existing line. The new line utilises some new technologies which means that it uses slightly different packaging materials than the...

Hi All, At the end of the week we produce a series of Works Orders that encompass all production for the following working week. We use Works Order Maintenance (16.1) to generate them. When we use Works Order Reciept Backflush (16.12) to input the actual production, the system regularly...

Thanks very much for that we will give it a go.

When using 3.23 Zero Delete/Archive several articles prompt the message 'Not deleted, alloc detail exists'. Some of these date back to 2004. Can somebody help me get rid of these please as they are affecting works orders? Thank you.

That works perfectly. Thank you for that.

Sorry, don't understand what that means. I'm new to this. Whatever we do we must only do it on non-stock parts though. It can not effect everything.

Automatically do PO receipt without the need to do 5.13.1 afterwards.

Hi Guys, We presently recieve all PO items to our system the same way (5.13.1). What we would like to do is continue to recieve all stock parts in this way. All non-stock reciepts (i.e. servicing, call-outs, etc) we wish to recieve differently. We would like MFG to automatically confirm...

Hi Guys, We have 2 networked USB printers set up within MFG using info fond in a thread on this forum. When printing to these printers a larger font is used than when outputting to a parallel port printer and the layout/spacing is different. Could someone please let me know how to change...

Hi Guys, I have changed over to a usb printer on my pc which is defined as 'SAMSUNG' rather than as 'PRINTER' which is the name given to my previous printer. 'PRINTER' is set as my default printer. Can i change the default or is that an administrator option? I have looked in the help...

A quick alternative is to select 'window' as your print output. This output has the option 'save as', name the file and save as type 'all files' in 'my documents'. Open Excel then use option 'open' and select the desired file name. The excel open wizard will help you format the information as an...

Thanks Max, You're right again, that worked perfectly. Regards, Tony.

Hi All, On Friday morning we had a temporary issue with our server, which meant that we lost MFG for a short period of time. Now we have an error against a Sales Order that is holding up some reports that we need to use today. This has happened before but normally overnight when the system...
