Need some perspective with what I am seeing in PM.

Screen below is from the materials tab of work ticket entry.  The first 225 LINES are from the requirements import (CSV file).  After that are quantities from inventory transaction entry (materials).  Most of the lines were entered previously as REQUIREMENTS but appear on separate lines.  At best, this makes for difficult reading/analysis.

The screen shot below is from the material shortage report.  Again, at best, it is difficult to read.


The screen below (could be the attachment as it did not paste), is the Open Work ticket report.  Again, difficult to read.

What is the logic for displaying this on separate line?  It appears that line sequence numbers play an important role in this release (possibly the reason VI's don't work).  But why can't the screen display combine lines.  Ditto with the Crystal reports?  Are they just taking shortcuts?

Thoughts from those more familiar with production management.

It appears there is v2023 help on its way regarding the user interface.  Post your thoughts here.  Perhaps Anne can pass them along to Laura.  It has been my experience that when the process is at this point, there will be few changes based on comments.  But it is always good to let them know. 

From Laura Dy @ Sage.

Hi Jeff,

Regarding your question on Sage City about the Work Ticket Transaction Entry workflow for material issues, we have made improvements to streamline this process.

If you have some time, we would appreciate if you can look at the new workflow and give us your thoughts.

Thanks,

Laura Dy
