6.3-r0

What's new?

• Inventory Insights - Introducing a set of preconfigured filters to AGR that can be configured centrally in the settings page and applied across reports by all users. Inventory Insights User documentation

• Labels - Introducing labels to the item card. This highly improves the aesthetics of the system as well as provides users with insights into the key areas of their business that they should consider focusing on, enabling users to make more informed decisions. Labels in Item Card, User Documentation

  

• ABC Settings - Users will be able to configure the ABC calculations from within the system themselves. They will be able to choose from six different proven metrics and apply service levels accordingly – or trust the AGR default values if they feel overwhelmed. ABC Settings, User Documentation

  

  

• Order Exceptions - We are bringing the manage by exception functionality to the order review process not only to highlight anomalies in order proposals but also to suggest ways to handle those exceptions appropriately. Having this overview of the order exceptions allows users to utilize the data better and priorities your time more efficiently. Order Exceptions, User Documentation

• Order Breakdown Chart - Order calculations broken down visually in a chart in the order grid info tab. Order Breakdown Chart, User documentation

• Reports - Reports: Users are able to share reports with everyone, specific users, or by user roles either as read-only or editable. AGR also introduces locked standard reports.

• Bulk Update - The ability to bulk edit forecast and order logic settings for multiple items directly from items and reports. Bulk Update, User Documentation

  

• Custom fields in the item card - now introducing the ability to add custom fields to the Item Card. The standard columns have also being reviewed, bringing more editable setting columns to the user interface.

• Column Descriptions - Column descriptions will be added to every column in the system giving users more detail for informational purposes.

• Manual Orders - The ability to create more accurate manual orders by selecting to cover demand until a certain day.

• Item Card- Total demand series now visible in the Item Chart.

• Settings- A complete overhaul of the Settings pages, giving users more control of their setup and better explanations about the settings they are configuring, effectively handing further tools to users to manage their inventory.​

• Forecasts - New forecast overwrite rule has been implemented to tackle extreme downward trend which in earlier versions resulted in no forecast at all. In cases where we have some sale in past three months but almost no forecast in the next 6 months, the original forecast will be overwritten with simple moving average forecast based on past 6 months.

• Workspaces - Workspace Types have been renamed to Table sets both in the database and in the workspace feature in the UI. The term “Workspace Type” is inaccurate and unhelpful. It should actually be called something like “Table Set” since this is not part of workspaces but of how de-query determines what columns to use. In other words, Workspaces use de-query as a feature, but Workspace Types (or actually Table Sets) are more a part of de-query than workspaces. DEV-2725
• Scheduler - Improvements to Scheduler to make display and running times consistent across timezones. DEV-3257
• Reports/Items User-management - We will make the change so that owner of a report can change the owner. We will not add the feature “reportManagement” since a user with that feature would have to be able to see all reports (in addition to being able to change the owner. The issue if the owner of a report quits, should be handled by resetting their password, logging in and changing the owner as that owner. DEV-4138
