DC1 Distribution

Functionality Description
Advanced Promotion Handling New APH application containing functionality that, when activated, replaces existing sales promotion functionality. Some of the highlights for APH compared to existing promotion functionality includes:

  • Define Line promotions as “Selectable”, meaning that order handler must manually apply the promotion.
  • Order-level promotions, i.e. promotions based on the total order. Can apply automatically or manually.
  • Define FOC items for order-level promotions.
  • Extended functionality around how to set up and apply FOC items.
  • Better follow-up functionality.
Purchase restrictions Similar to the existing Sales restriction functionality, the same kind of functionality is now available for purchase orders.

  • Set-up controls what you want to restrict: What, From where, To whom, By whom

Other features that can be configured include:

  • Validity period.
  • An alert message to send to applicable personnel.
  • Additional restraints to be applicable for the order line (minimum/maximum amount/quantity) or order (minimum/maximum amount/quantity).
  • Exceptions to that defined in the purchase restriction, permitting the purchase under certain circumstances or with a lower degree of severity.

The degree of severity placed on the purchase restriction drives the handling of the order. Setup choices include Purchase not allowed (entry of order line will be stopped), or Warning (PO entry clerk will receive a warning but order line entry can proceed)

Ship to address New sales order address added. Can use the address when you want to first ship the goods to an address other than the final customer delivery address, e.g., some kind of shipping agent.
Security for warehouse operations Two new authority groups in SECUR for object functionality:

  1. WAREHOUSE (warehouse code is secured as object). Used to secure access to warehouse operations like confirm pick list. List of all protected programs are available in system (via Where used option).
  2. WHS_VIEW (program code is secured as object). Introduced to improve performance, this is used only to switch on/off Warehouse control on sub-files on selected programs. When this security is activated, only transactions for the allowed warehouse will be displayed on sub-file screen.
Handling stock take lists created for RF terminals in normal program Possibility to maintain stock take lists, confirmed on RF terminals, in normal “Work with stock takes” program. Useful when corrections to erroneously entered data via RF terminals need to take place without re-creating stock take from the beginning.

Stock take lists created for RF terminals could be maintenance only when all RF batches are closed (status 40).

Note: RF batches are not updated when quantity is manually changed.

DC1 Financials

Functionality Module Description
Asset balance list and Depreciation base Asset Management
  • New Asset balance list based on the former Asset balance list (which is still available). The new list has additional selection and printout options.
  • Able to define 9 depreciation types in DC1, using various depreciation rules but also various asset values that are different from the acquisition amount. That amount, now used instead of the acquisition amount to calculation residual value, is displayed on the new Asset balance list as the base depreciation amount.
  • Base depreciation amount parameter is assigned to each depreciation type in Depreciation type table
Asset balance enquiry Asset Management Depreciate base value added. It is used, instead of the acquisition amount, to calculate residual value.
Work with A/P payment proposals – limits for number of paid transactions/payment Accounts Payable Possibility to decide the maximum number of transactions you would like to have settled per payment.

In previous releases the Work with A/P payment proposals routine creates A/P payments to settle either unlimited number of transactions or a single transaction.

Now it is possible for A/P payment modes dedicated for Credit Transfer/SEPA to create/maintain A/P payments to settle a limited number of transactions.

Two new Split codes:

Split code 3:
Has the same functionality as the old code 1 but is only performed if no invoices exist on the credit note’s payment date (proposal number, payment mode, currency, supplier, payee, bank and payment date).
Note: The split does not affect unique payments.

Split code 4:
Has the same functionality as the old code 2 but is only performed if no invoices exist on the credit note’s payment date (proposal number, payment mode, currency, supplier, payee, bank and payment date).
Note: The split does not affect unique payments.

Automatic settlement of Paypal-like fees Accounts Receivable
  • If a Paypal-like fee is loaded into DC1 Financials A/R payment and settlement interface files as an A/R debit payment, DC1 Financials can automatically create a difference document that will settle this payment.
  • Difference document type is defined for the applied settlement option.
Cross-debtor manual settlements Accounts Receivable Possibility to manually create a cross-debtor settlement on the A/R Workbench settlement panel.
Work with imported bank statements – new process to support ISO 20022 camt.053.001.02 and camt.054.001.02, and Teller settlement report Accounts Receivable
  • Integrator interprets and imports A/R payments from the ISO 20022 Payments messages BankToCustomerStatementV02, camt.053.001.02, and BankToCustomerDebitCredit NotificationV02, camt.054.001.02 (MDR 2009) and from the Teller Settlement report for Netstore payments to DC1 and starts a job in DC1.
  • DC1 processes the imported A/R payments further. If an error is found, the A/R payments end in the Work with imported bank statements routine. Otherwise, depending on the setup, the A/R payments are automatically transferred to be processed further in the Work with open batches routine or they end in Work with imported bank statements.
  • For A/R payments ended in Work with imported bank statements, you need to manually transfer them further.
  • The imported bank statements in Work with imported bank statements are not deleted before the number of saved days has been reached, allowing you to search for received transactions even after they have been transferred to Work with open batches.

The solution should not be considered as a routine for Bank statement reconciliation.

Additional search field in G/L transaction enquiry General Ledger Transaction description is now available as a search field.
G/L Integration General Ledger
  • Integrator web server giving you the possibility to send G/L transactions created by an external system in a pre-defined XML format (defined by Iptor) via Integrator to DC1 Financials. This allows you to integrate DC1 Financials with, e.g., a payroll or travel expense system.
  • Mapped data is loaded to the new, externally accessed interface files.
  • The import is currently triggered via the Retrieve financial transactions routine.
  • Zero VAT transactions holding only VAT reference amount can be generated automatically at import.

DC1 Inventory Control

Functionality Description
Demand plan forecast retrieval When retrieving forecast from the Inventory control forecast file to be used in a Demand plan, the Base forecast, (which is the forecast calculated by Inventory control based on historical demand) has always been used.

Now it is possible to create Demand plans based on Period forecast. These can be seen as ‘Time stamps’ of the quantity in Period forecast when the demand plan was created, to be used in the future to be able to see what the forecasts used to be in the past. Alternatively, you can create a Demand plan based on Period forecast, review it, and make some changes if need be, and then push it back to the Inventory control file to be used in the Inventory calculations.
