Shop Manager version 6.6.3.25

released Feb 15, 2022

Bug Fixes

  • Import of System Settings was failing in some cases and not closing the progress dialog.
  • Editing the list of search fields was preventing the styles from being applied until the user changed to a different search type and then changed back.
  • Split Component Feature was not always assigning the newly created component to the correct assembly in some cases causing corruption or loss of data.
  • Merge Component feature would fail to move inspection records in some cases resulting in loss of the inspection information from the component being merged.
  • Deleting an element that was being used by the Assembly Configuration default values would prevent the assembly configurations from being loaded and prevented the user from viewing or editing an assembly. Even if no components had been saved with that element. Users are no longer able to delete elements if they are used by the assembly configuration or if there is one or more components saved that contain that element.

Changes

  • Import/Export for Custom Views and Inspection Definitions was lost in a previous update when the settings were moved to the new Options dialog. They have been added back so you can now import/export one or multiple custom views as well as importing/exporting one or more inspection definitions.
  • When editing a component element, including modifying the lookups, there is now a ‘Save all shops’ option. If there are multiple shops configured in the database, this option will apply the changes to the element for all shops instead of just the current shop. To apply the changes to just the current shop continue to use the Save button.
  • In the License Manager of the Options dialog there is now an option to Request a License. Select the type of license, the machine that you want it to apply to (if applicable) as well as the quantity requested (if applicable) and the request will be sent to the AIC Rail Sales team for pricing and follow up.
  • In addition to specifying your shift schedules you can now also specify ‘exceptions’ such as break times, meal times, recurring meetings, etc. This shift information and shift ‘exceptions’ can be used as part of our OEE feature to track equipment efficiency and calculate estimated part counts per shift. For more information about OEE contact AIC Rail.
  • Subcomponent inspection information is now included in the list of available search fields. Previously you could only return the timestamp of an assembly inspection, but not the timestamp of an inspection performed on the axle before it was part of the wheelset.

New Features

  • New Material Tracking feature lets you specify a list of parts that can be applied to or tracked with a component. For example: nuts, bolts, electrical leads for a motor, etc. You can build the bill of materials at each station as the parts are used and view the total bill of goods for each component in Shop Manager or in report format.
  • New Download Reports tool lets you review a list of reports available for download from AIC. You can see a side-by-side comparison of your current reports and the available reports and see which reports are new to you and which reports you already have need an update. You can download new reports or update your existing reports with just a few clicks. Currently only our ‘canned’ reports are available, but your Custom reports will be included in a future update.
  • Inspections can now be created in Shop Manager. When viewing the list of Inspections for a component or Assembly, in addition to modifying the values for an inspection you can now record a new inspection record. Simply select the type of inspection you want to add and then enter the data.
  • Shipment fields can now be required based on the shipment type. Previous only the Load Number and Customer was required when creating a new Inbound or Outbound shipment. You can now specify which fields to require when creating a new shipment, including customer location, carrier, BOL/Order Number, and etc. This does not currently apply to shipments created from the Windows Mobile Inbound/Outbound applications. Only shipments created in Shop Manager or from one of our Windows desktop/tablet versions of Inbound or Outbound.
