I am going to be somewhat controversial here, so those of you of a nervous disposition – look away now. This is a personal view based on over twenty years experience with small manufacturing operations. Continue reading →

Welcome to our new website. There are some shortcuts for existing customers to get to the remote access, support tickets and upgrade links. We have created a new blog and will be informally recording developments using it Continue reading →

Build 21.4.2 has now been released (13/01/12).

This build has been tested in-house, however we cannot guarantee it to be problem free.

Please trial the new system before committing to it. Continue reading →

The dispatch label printing system has been extended such that dispatch
labels can all be printed in one go – like the recent extension to the
goods-in label printing system. From a user perspective this is initiated
by not selecting a line when printing labels – i.e. no selection implies all
lines. Note that labels are only printed if they meet these constraints:
1. The labels haven’t been printed already for a line – use Audit tab in a
dispatch line editor to see what’s been printed previously. 2. The part
being dispatched has the usual dispatch labels option set in the material
record

The costing algorithm has been replaced by use of the scheduler, resulting in better
estimated costs. When a material is costed, Match-IT selects a batch quantity to
cost based on the material configuration. For example if you have a minimum batch
size or re-order quantity set, Match-IT uses one as appropriate. The resulting cost
is cached in the material record as setup and cycle costs. When you take sales lines
or enquiries for other quantities, the estimated cost is calculated by manipulation
of these values; amortizing the setup cost over the sales quantity etc. Match-IT
allows you to manually cost a material and override the quantity chosen. Please
note that as a result of this change, new builds (later then 21.1.15) will take a
short period of time to ‘settle-in’ – during this time Match-IT will be updating
cached costs as material records are encountered. A cost breakdown is now available
from material records.
