Updating to Version 9.0
Three scripts are automatically run in the database when updating to MONITOR version 9.0. This way the FIFO implementation will be fast and smooth. The scripts involve the following:
- Purchased parts linked to supplier invoices are updated with a final price and date in the inventory log.
- An accumulated log record is created in the database for material that has been consumed in the WIP list. This is done because the WIP list has been redesigned and is based on a new database table. This makes it possible to load the WIP list historically as of version 9.0 of MONITOR.
- All manufacturing orders in progress will be given a final price and a "fictitious" calculation. This is because the orders in progress should not be included in the Price Calculation - Inventory Movements procedure. These orders cannot be calculated since they are not linked to the material that is being consumed. Standard price will be set as final price for M/S-parts and they will be valuated at standard price in the inventory value list.
