Exact for Manufacturing Innovation: Smart Shop Floor material management for Premium

In November 2016 we started with the controlled release of Smart Shop Floor material management. We have been supporting the Basic and Advanced editions of Exact for Manufacturing: without (Basic) and with (Advanced) serial/batch numbers. For the Premium edition we also had to support flexible use of storage locations. We are now bringing this part in controlled release.

Flexible use of storage locations In the Premium edition of Exact for Manufacturing we can store the same item on multiple storage locations. We have introduced this feature in 2016. See: Support for warehouse location management in manufacturing.   Smart Shop Floor material management In November 2016 we started the controlled release of Smart Shop Floor material management.

When the item to be received is a serial or batch item, the side panel that opens upon clicking Serial or Batch shows also a Change link: By clicking on Change we will be presented with all locations in use for this item. We cannot add a new storage location from the Smart Shop Floor app:  With the Recent button on the right side of the Finish screen we can view all serial and batch numbers received on the respective locations: The features for warehouse location management are part of Exact Online Manufacturing Premium.
