Hey Alonda,
We do the same thing as Ian, basically treat them as if they weren’t on the same Quantum. PO or RO in one, sales in the other. Of course then this makes a mess of inter-company reconciliation. We print month-end reports showing all these transactions to try and make the reconciliation easier.

Thanks Jae, as an example in 12.7.10 we cannot auto reserve parts to Work Orders, Labor cost not rolling correctly to the GL in Manufacturing Orders. We will try 12.7.7.

Thanks John, yes should have been clearer. We use every module except Warranty, T&A, Rental Leasing, and Lot manager.

Hey Susan,
How do you calculate your overtime? After 40 or after 8?

Hey Mike,
No need to have the skills barcodes, you can assign the Skills to the techs, and then assign the Skills to the Task. The tech will not be able to clock on to that Task unless they have the skill. Unless I missed something in your question……
Hope this makes since.

Since T&A overwrites your punches if you clock out and then come back, how is everyone handling employees who work split shifts or that need to leave for an appointment and come back? Do you fix all of these manually?
We have been trying to use the module but just can’t justify the time it takes to clean up and approve punches every day.

Hey Craig,
Will you also be updating the WHS in Parts Master? If so you could use the import options in Parts Master and Choose Update to update the Parts Warehouse. You can also select to create the WHS code when doing the update. After Parts Master is updated you could then run an sql statement to update stock to the Parts Master Warehouse.

Hey Cory,
We have used AWS to host our Quantum server, RDP Server, and most other servers since 2013. We have had little to no issues with reliability or performance. It does take the users a little while to understand they are working on an RDP server but generally the learning curve is only a couple days. One thing we did to help overcome the curve is redirect users Documents folders to the network so no matter if they were logged in to the RDP server or just their PC they see the same Documents folder. Then instructing them to always save to the Documents folder cuts down on the confusion of “did I save this on the remote or my pc” issues. Of course you need to setup Office/Outlook in the RDP environment for those who need to email from Quantum.

Hey Al,
To write the queries to pull the data from Quantum to Preactor and the query to send it back only took us a day of heads down with the Preactor consultant. Thankfully we used the same vendor that 3Points Aviation used so they were familiar with the Quantum tables. What took us a while was getting all the data correct in Quantum to pull over good data. It took us about 6 months to get the data correct in Quantum. To be clear not 6 months of heads down work but 6 months of fitting this in with day to day activities. This was things like all the Templates with good Tasks, Standard Times, Setting Customer Weights, Technician Skills and Weights, Equipment-Tools.
Yes, we do feed back to Quantum a new estimated completion date.

Hey David,
We use Epson DS scanners (DS-530 for things like you are discussing and then DS-870 for higher volume like the scanning of all WO packets) with TSScan by Terminal Works without any issues in a fairly similar environment. 3 locations with AWS hosted Oracle and RDP servers. RDP ranges from 2008 thru 2012 (Currently testing 2019 RDP server without any issues so far).

Hey Terra,
We use Preactor for our Planning/Scheduling software. We populate Preactor with our sequence/standard times/resources from Quantum.

Hey Tino,
Have a Tracker with CC for the last 6 years to fix this issue. It keeps coming up every year and every year at QUE Conference companies complain. Maybe a few more companies pushing on CC will get the option to sort by Location fixed.

We have the same issue, I just created a report matching GL Trans entries to Labor entries so we can reconcile these each month.

Hey Kristen,
SQL below:
select pnm.pn,
pnm.description, wpt.part_type_code
from
parts_master pnm,
wo_part_type wpt,
wo_valid_part_types wvp
where
pnm.pnm_auto_key=wvp.pnm_auto_key and
wvp.wpt_auto_key=wpt.wpt_auto_key and
pnm.pn =’YOUR PART NUMBER HERE’

Hey Leo,
No issues with 365 and smtp connectivity for event manager or any other Crystal Scheduler.

Hey Mike,
We are in the middle of implementing Preactor http://www.preactor.com/Products/Scheduling-Software
I know a few other Quantum companies are using it and a few others are in process of evaluating/implementing. Our primary resource will be scheduling technicians and then secondary scheduling of equipment and tools. We import WO Task and Tech info from Quantum to Preactor and then Completion Dates from Preactor back to Quantum.

Hey Krissy,
If you have Forms Designer the WO, Qty Reserved, and Task Sequence number are in the data pipeline so they can easily be added to Barcode PN Label. The task description is not in the pipeline but can easily be added to the Label because the Task Auto Key is. Changing the form will allow you to use the feature to print labels with the pick ticket and get all the information you are asking for.

Ruth,
A UDF in the Header of the Shipper like SM_UDF_001 can be used as a check box. This UDF then can be mapped to the Saturday delivery field in Fedex.

Hey Terra,
Are these genericbc shortcuts pointing directly to the Quantum server or pointing to a locally installed copy of Quantum?
-
Did anyone ever get anywhere with the 1096?
Thanks,
Ryan
-
Hey Paul,
Another option is to re-reserve and then change the reconciled flag in wo_operation to “F”.
Ryan
-
Mike,
In the header of the WO is a flag “Released” check this in all the WO’s you want to include in PM. Then in PM filter on WO’s and Only Released WO’s. It will show the BOM needs only for those WO’s that have the release flag.

You could also combine this with ES File Explorer for Android or FileExplorer for iPhone and copy directly to Windows Shared Folders.
Not sure if Lense will drop directly to a share through one of these apps but I will give it a try.

Mike,
What if you change your invoice document to pull the Ship To from the WO and not the Quote? This way you only have to change the WO header Ship To.

Mike,
What if you send the signature bmp to the back?

Mike,
Sounds like I am missing something but what is the reason you just don’t edit the header of the WO Billing and change the Ship To?

Vanessa,
If you are talking about the Worth Data B5011base station you can have approx. 64 RF Terminals per a base station.

Stephanie,
Now to flip it what are your impressions, obstacles, etc…?
Thanks,

Another option would be to “break the WO link” and then change your activity to Replace. This would show a need on the WO and now the stand alone sub-wo can be closed to inventory as scrap.
BOM Misc–List WO’s
Highlight Sub-WO
Click Delete (It will ask if you want to break the link)
Sub-WO is now a stand alone WO
Change Activity to Replace and now you show a need to fill

I haven’t tried this but you could do an exchange PO like Nadim’s instructions. Go to the RO then Stock delete the current reservation, puts the part back into stock, reserve the part received on the exchange PO. RO gets closed back to WO with part from customer ship back unreserved part on exchange PO.
-
Andre,
What we end up doing is adding a line to the purchase order for a negative qty on the non-stock PO and then receiving in the negative qty to match the qty being returned.

You could also use wo_operation to wo_quote_detail then to wo_quote_header using the wok_woo_ref to woo_auto_key or use the wo_operation to view_woo_prices then to wo_quote_header using the woo_auto_key and wqh_auto_key.

I know this is old but what is the “change” you made? We moved to Office 2021 and this has started.
