Material Booking

· 2 min read

We are happy to introduce a new type of booking for our Move and Engage users: Material Booking! Now you can make a Move booking for material lines in Engage from the Materials and Consume Materials dialogs.

consume_booking_button Material lines with available quantity are now selectable and can be booked by using the booking button in the top corner.

Demo of how you create material bookings

material_booking_demo

  1. From the Materials or Consume Materials dialog in Engage, select the material lines you want to create a booking for by marking the select button to the left of the line.
  2. Click the Move icon in the top right corner.
  3. Adjust preferred locations, quantity, and description in the form.
  4. Click Book and voilà: Your booking will appear like other Move bookings for transporters to pick up.

Output in Move

Material bookings are marked with an M throughout Move. The part information and quantity follows the material line and not the production order. A new table containing material bookings is added for related production orders in tracking.

Active booking marker

Material lines with bookings in status complete, pending, or in progress get a booking status marker. Hovering over this will give more information about the booking.

Engage - Split Consumed Material Lines by Location

Improved Materials Consumption Tracking: Split Lines by Location​

We’ve enhanced the material list in our UI to provide even greater clarity and traceability. Previously, material lines with consumption from multiple locations were grouped together, making it harder to see exactly where materials were used. With our latest update, these lines are now split by location, so each entry clearly shows how much was consumed and from where.

Stocked Locations​

A list of locations with available stock can be viewed in the expandable detail panel. If there has been consumption, the consumed location is marked with a green indicator.

Planner​

You can now find the planner responsible for the material line, with a link to Teams and Email, by clicking the user icon.

Easier access to ended orders in Engage

· One min read

A long-awaited update: You can now find Completed orders in Engage for 6 months after completion!

After 6 months, any orders older than that will only be available in D365, where they are listed as Ended.

engage_6months Orders with status "Completed" stay visible in Engage for 6 months.

All existing orders in Engage have been updated, so this rule applies to both previous and new orders, starting today.

note

The date we rely on is called Delivery date in D365.

If you have any questions or need help, reach out. We’re happy to help!

Teams chat update and mail-links now available

· 2 min read

We’ve made it even easier to stay connected and get in touch from both Engage and Move!

You might have noticed the familiar Teams chat button in Engage before. Now we’ve made some handy improvements:

  • New: A convenient mail button is now available next to the Teams chat button.
  • Update: The Teams chat button has been upgraded to automatically fill in a pre-written message, so you always have the right context when you start a chat.
  • New in Move: Both icons now appear in the booking details of the Driver interface.

The speech bubble opens a Teams chat, and the envelope launches a new email.

New filter → "Reference"

· One min read

We’ve added a new filter in Engage named Reference!

Now you can filter the schedule by Sales order. This is especially useful when batch-selecting and processing several jobs within the same sales order.

Just add a Reference filter for a specific sales order or multiple sales orders at once, and select all relevant operations in a few clicks. You can easily combine this with other filters, such as part number, to further refine your search.

As described in the original post, just press F to open the filter menu or use the Filters button:
