1.6. Convert Consigned To Turnkey
After activation, System Utility access for each user must be setup in the ManEx Security module.  Users with “supervisor’s rights” will automatically have access.
 

Enter System Utility/Convert Consigned to Turnkey
 
This module will convert Consigned make products into Turnkey make products.
 
Note:  If you don’t want to over write the existing BOM, you might consider setting up a new Revision via the ECO module. 
 
This function is to allow users who have a bill of materials (an assembly) that contains consigned parts to convert that BOM to ALL turnkey (buy) parts.  Because the ManEx scheme requires users to enter an internal part number in order to establish a consigned part, the internal numbers already exist.  The utility takes advantage of that by asking the user for the ASSEMBLY that they wish to have the components changed from consigned to turnkey.  So when the user gets the prompt, they are to enter the ASSEMBLY number, and not the component number.  When the program is completed, the user should then check the BOM for the assembly they changed and be sure that it has in it, what’s desired, primarily no more consigned parts.
 
 
 

The following screen will appear:
 

In the system you have a BOM already setup with Consigned part numbers.

 

Type teh Product Part Number (Assembly) and applicable revision number into the fields:

  

Depress the OK button.  You will receive a message that the conversion has been completed.

 

Return to the ManEx system and verify that the BOM has been properly converted over to Turnkey.

1.7. Archiving/Restoring
1.7.1. Prerequisites for Archiving/Restoring
 
After activation, System Utility access for each user must be setup in the ManEx Security module.  Users with “supervisor’s rights” will automatically have access.

A Directory on the server must be setup
 
 
1.7.2. Introduction for Archiving/Restoring

The Archiving and Restoring Utility will allow users to Archive their unused files,  which should help speed up the response time for users with large databases.  These files will be removed from your Live Manex System and placed in the archive directory setup by the user performing the archiving.  (We strongly recommend that you do not remove this directory once it is setup or you will loose all files for restoring).  Only supervisor or user with "EDIT" rights in System Utility can run archiving/restoring programs.  When the archiving or restoring is loaded, it will open database exclusively.  Therefore, no user can run any other programs at the same time.  This program will have "Back" and "Next" buttons to lead you to what you should do next, you also can go back to change whatever you selected before you click the "Archive" button.  The program will create a spreadsheet of what's going to be archived, if you click "OK" then it will continue to archive those records.

The Archiving features will not affect accounting in any way, because once the transactions are created within the system from regular ManEx that information is retained in different accounting tables.

"ResetArcLock.exe" is in your ManEx Root Directory.  This is in case user interrupts the program or reboots the machine during archiving, the system will still think the user is doing the archiving.   This program will clear out the flag, and at the end, this program will also ask user to re-run datamaintenance.exe to keep data integrity.

NOTE:  For those users who have archived data, when user finds a record, let's say a PO.  The program will go to check current ManEx database to see if the part numbers of all PO items exist.  If not, the program will tell user that one or more items are "removed".  It might be deleted or archived, and the program will ask user if he/she wants to check the archived part number list.  If user selects "Yes", the message also tells user it will take a while to find the archived information.  If user selects "No", then the program will not go to archived database to check, and user can find another PO to continue.  When processing a new inventory part and depressing the "Save" record icon, the system will only check the "Live" database for duplicate part number.  When user restore part numbers from archived database, for now, those duplicate old part numbers will be filtered out and  won't be restored to current database.

 

1.7.3. How To ..... for Archiving/Restoring
1.7.3.1. Setup the Directory
 Enter System Utility/Archiving/Archiving Module  

The following warning will appear:

Depress "Yes", to continue the archiving process, the following warning will appear:

Depress "Yes", to continue the archiving process,  the following warning will appear, to select the directory;

Depress "OK", and a list of directory files will appear.  ManEx strongly suggests that the directory selected for storing archived data is placed on the Server, so the directory is accessable to all users with system utility rights.  After user selects the archiving directory, the system will create archiving DBC tables in the archiving directory and will move data from existing database to the archived database.  Once these files have been created they CANNOT be removed from the archiving directory.  The user can re-set the path to a new location and move all files to new location, but the new directory does have to have all files in order to work.  The user can copy the DBC files to a CD or backup, but those files CANNOT be removed from the archiving directory, once they have been created. 

Depress "OK", a warning screen appears to verify the path created. 

Depress "Yes", and the user may proceed with the Archiving process.

1.7.5. Inactive Part Number(s)
1.7.5.1. Prerequisites for Inactive PNs
After activation, System Utility access for each user must be setup in the ManEx Security module.  Users with “supervisor’s rights” will automatically have access.

The following criterias must be meant before an Inactive part can be archived:
  1. Part number must be Inactive
  2. Part must not be in cycle count or physical inventory
  3. If part is used on a BOM, it must be marked as an obsolete item and the BOM status must be marked inactive
  4. Part number cannot be on an Open Purchase Order
  5. Part number can not be in reconciliation
  6. Part number cannot be on no Open Work Order
  7. Part Number cannot be on no Open Sales Order
  8. If part is a BOM parent, the BOM Status must be inactive. 

 

1.7.5.2. Introduction for Inactive PNs

 

When an internal part number is changed to "Inactive", it will change all customer part numbers to "Inactive" as well, if those customer part numbers do not have qty OH, open SO, use in BOM, open Kit.....  If the system finds any of these conditions to be true it will not allow the status to be changed on the customer part or the internal part.

 

Even if a customer part number is "Inactive", it doesn't mean it's ok to be archived.  If a customer part number meets the archive criteria, it will be listed in the archive list.  Let's say, I have an internal part number with 2 customer part numbers associated, if all three part numbers meet the archive criteria, then all three will be listed on the archive list for user to select.  If user selects one customer part number to archive without selecting internal part number, only the customer part number will be archived.  If user selects internal part number to archive without selecting customer part numbers to archive, the program will archive those two customer part numbers also.

 

When a new part is created, the program will check to see if the same part number already exists in archived database, if yes, then user can not add the same part number again.

 

When changing the status of a part from "Active" to "Inactive"  or "Archiving" a part the program is checking the "item" status not the "order" status.  So the system will allow user to archive a product/part number that is listed on a Sales Order, Purchase Order, Work Order, etc. if that item has been cancelled or closed.  It will not affect other items listed on the SO, PO, WO, etc. that are still open or have a balance.  The system will not allow user to view/modify this SO, PO WO, etc and a message will pop up telling the user that a part number has been archived from this order and will have to be restored before continuing.  The reason this order may not be viewed/modified is because there might be a total amount that will not display correctly if the archived item is not displayed. 

 

The "restore" part list will display the internal part numbers and the customer part numbers that have been archived.   If the user only selects customer part number to restore and doesn't select internal part number to restore, the program will restore internal part number as well.

 

After parts have been restored, if the material types are no longer in current system setup, the program will change those deleted material types to "UNK"
