Special User Feature – Stock Group Maintenance

Stock Group Maintenance

This special user feature is available in open source form in OpenVision.lbs.

This Special User Feature consists of 1 file class, 3 window classes and 2 report classes.

File: DYNFILE hold group quantity and other data.
Window: wOptLengthMaint is provided for creation and maintenance of Stock Group records. It is this class that needs to be entered in the Settings as a Special Function.
Window: wOptLengthPrint is provided for report printing and is opened by the Print button on the maintenance window.
Window: wOptLengthAdjust
is provided for in-process group quantity adjustment and is normally automatically opened from within the $StockTransaction method of oCustom1.
Report: rOptLengthList
Report: rOptLengthStatus

Note NOTE: Although the classes are all available in open source form in OpenVision.lbs, any customisation of them will inevitably lead to them diverging from the standard supported classes.

The feature enables you to maintain a separate parallel table of Group Unit Quantities for certain parts. For example, a metals distributor may want to record the number of lengths of bar in addition to the total weight or length of material. Up to 12 quantities can be maintained.

Customisation CUSTOM CAPABILITY: For the feature to semi-automatically maintain group quantities, the $StockTransaction method in oCustom1 requires the addition of special code. With this, the Stock Group Adjustment window will open each time a part stock quantity changes. See the Stock Group Adjustment window for details.

The window works interactively with the Parts Scratchpad and the BoM Listing window. With the Find function you can also locate a record using Keyword Search.
