201414

Improvement made to display the project department code in the order header once the order is saved.

Addition of a filter to requisition lines based on a project department code in the requisition compilation functionality.

This development stems from a client's need to be able to filter lines in the compilation of requisitions according to a project department. Furthermore, after saving the order, they wanted to have the project department saved in the order header to then use it as a criterion in the workflow management of orders. This development also facilitates the buyer's work, as a filter for the project department has been added to the Compile Requisition icon.

151802

Improvement made to display, in the hours entry page, the distance in kilometres or miles (according to the settings in maestro*MOBILE) between the employee's home address (entered in their contact file) and the address of the dispatch project, if there is one, otherwise the address of the construction project.

This development stems from a client request who wanted fore(wo)men who enter time for employees to see the number of kilometers between the employee address and the project-dispatch address (or the project if no address is entered in the dispatch-project). That way, the fore(wo)man knows if they must add a travel premium if the distance exceeds a specific number. Other premiums can also apply according to the distance between the emplyee's home and the work place.
