For DBA Manufacturing Next Generation (NG) MRP/ERP users.
Welcome
Welcome DBA NG Manufacturing Software users. I hope this will represent a forum for sharing suggestions and asking questions. I saw an old group on yahoo but it was full of spam and inactive of real users since 2005. A Wiki may better suit our needs, but blogger was a tool with which I am already familiar.
wanted Functionality improvements (not new features per se)
- Customer order status
- Master Screen (Grid) configuration
- Shipped but not invoiced report

About Me
- georgej
- I count myself among the few, the beleaguered, and the proud on the front-lines in the battle against government fostered stupidity. Won't you join me? I am an economist by nature and education, a financial analyst by education and career, and a public policy wonk. I've worked in banking, manufacturing, and finance, not to mention having been a prep cook, busboy, dishwasher, bill collector and paper boy. I am a member of and have completed the examinations of the CFA Society in succession and presently work in financial services. In 18 years in manufacturing, I last led the team that selected DBA Software to upgrade our MRP to a modern SQL database platform and have worked on three separate MRP platforms and implemented and customized applications on two.

Customize allows columns on the page to be dragged and dropped into the customize box to eliminate columns on certain screens, and vice versa. It may have some other functionality. Anyway, it can be useful for users wanting to change a screen appearance, though this overlaps with other techniques for same.
CUSTOMIZE isn't the same as custom menus. Somewhat useful to me, sometimes.
SCREEN EDITOR GROUPS sets up different screen and menu configuration groups. Each group can be assigned a different version of any particular screen (screen editor function; very low-level control, be careful, and it's not well-maintained) and a different version of the pull-down menu structure (menu activations; high level on/off choices). Each user can be assigned to any available screen editor group.
It actually has a lot of power available.
Every time I have used the screen editor, the next time I have installed an upgrade, it has blown out the changes and reverted everything to the default. So I have not done it since build 100 or so... anyone else see this behavior now?
I haven't done enough to notice a pattern. One or two of the upgrades toasted my Service icon, but at least one of those apparently was intentional on their part, as they are discontinuing the function (having discontinued support a long time ago, but not the "referred to programming" responses to my tickets).
There were a couple of other things I did, but nothing mission-critical. If I had a separate user account, I'd have cleaned up a number of disfunctional or unused buttons, but haven't gone there yet.
Tom, the other thing about custom screens is that the settings are stored OUTSIDE the database. If you find the config file (check out the ADMIN folder) you may be able to backup and restore those files separately.
Yes, found that and played with it for a while... then I just bagged it all and told people if they fuck with anything I would iject their temp files with links to child porn, then call the FBI. :-)
Interstingly, there are some bugs in those config files left over from the EZIJOBZ days.
LOL
There are some perks to system admin, after all!
There are lots of traces of ezijobz to be found - kinda clutters up the place, but I guess there may be some users out there who came from that?
