Improvements
•Administration:
oThere have been changes in the procedures that perform Search and Master Data.
▪When the Ingredient is unselected, then ingredient attributes are not copied as well.
▪When only the Ingredient is selected without it's attributes, only the Ingredient will be copied.
▪When both Ingredient and it's attribute are selected, then both will be copied.
oThe permission options for Base Quantity and Density have each been unified with their corresponding Unit options, to make their usage easier. The work procedures are as follows:
▪Base quantity operating elements → Modules → Recipe → Edit fields → [Base quantity].
▪Density operating elements → Modules → Recipe → Edit fields → [Density].
oRemoved criteria from Master Data, are no longer archived and released Master Data.
•Declaration: The BOM tab of this module is now structured like the one in the Recipe module.
•Recipe: Informations will now be changed from parent to child, so recipe developers can see changes in the Recipe module.
•SQL-Reporting: A new radio button allows the user to select between A4 and Letter paper formats.
Bug Fixes
•Administration:
oThe List & Label application did not work properly.
oUnchecking Factories while editing caused an error.
•Database: Single objects have been released several times.
•Search:
oThe Excel export from search caused an error.
oSearching with rule change info had issues with data formats.
oSearching for Ingredients or their attributes lead to an error, if the Values popup has been called afterwards.
•Master Data:
oThe Copy function did not work for all tabs.
oTo copy supplier data from any source target caused an error.
oThe response time was too slow.
•Master Data & Recipe: The size of workflow windows has not been saved for each user.
•Recipe:
oDosi Recipe recalculation has not been saved.
oChanging the Nutrient column's unit of measure caused an error.
oSelections from a Criterion selection list have not been visible after restarting SpecPDM Cloud.
