New Features

New Cloud Hosting Option: MISys Manufacturing (MM) Support for Microsoft Azure

• The primary focus of MISys releases starting with v6.4.5.0 has been our move to allow an installer-assisted deployment with Microsoft Azure.
• Part of this focus has been to enhance our services to better support deployment on Azure and ensure adequate performance.
• Another part of our focus is verifying and maintaining current security updates for our code and our 3rd party tools.
  - This process is one of the biggest tasks we’ve had as we moved from on-premises to remote.
  - For our part we're committed to securing our code and making sure the 3rd party tools we use are up to date and secure. Expect more frequent updates to be available as security is an ever-changing landscape!
  - Remember, the first and most important line of defense is your network and the authentication controls that you put in place.
• Our server installation can now be pointed towards your self-maintained Azure server and can be installed directly.
• The client is installed as it always has, and the accounting integration is still the same: the accounting package needs to be available on the same machine that is running the MISys Manufacturing Client.
• Our Manual updater has also been retooled to allow use for both on-premises as well as Azure deployments to simplify the process.

Performance Improvements

• While working on better supporting Azure, we found some areas where we could improve overall performance, including for our on-premises deployments. In some areas, the improvement can be quite significant:
  - Opening any Master File record
  - All list views
  - Schedule Initialization
  - Resolve All Shortages
  - Create MRP
  - Buy All
  - Batch posting (of most batches)
  - Data Integrity Check

Reporting

• Added formatting/export options from any previewed reports – this will enhance the format of any exported reports which will (specifically with Excel) make it so post-export manipulation is much easier.

Quality of Life Improvements

• Added a drilldown to the SLT Assignment Forms to allow for immediate modification of core SL information for specific SL numbers.
• Physical Inventory batch imports now use current Stock & WIP values for Recorded when it is set to <Default>.
• Process MRP now allows you to multi-select details for easier deletion of rows.
• Purge Improvements
  - Added the ability to specify a From/To range to Purge Master Transaction Log.
  - Added the ability to specify a From/To range to Purge Closed POs.
  - Added the ability to specify a From/To range to Purge Closed WOs.
  - Added the ability to specify a From/To range to Purge Closed MOs.
• Also added better messaging for when an MO is linked to WO details. We now report which MO and line is linked to the MO.
• SLT Number creation now warns whenever attempting to create more than 1,000 numbers to avoid circumstances where you mistype.
• Processing WOs no longer shifts the selected row to the top of the list. It will remain on the selected row.
• Added the Disable on this PC option for Sage 50 Canada.

MISys EXT (ME)

• Added the ability to receive multiple PO details at once (like in the MM Client).
• Added the ability to modify the SL No. Description and SL Custom Fields from the SL Assignment page.
• When using Create New, we now validate that the record doesn't exist immediately when entered.
• SLT Number creation now warns whenever attempting to create more than 1,000 numbers to avoid circumstances where you mistype.
• Added ability to search by WO Description.
• Added the MO Completed Quantity to the Scrap MO Material Detail screen.
• Added a setting to disable prompts to print a label.
• Added the WO Completed and Sales Transfer quantities on WO > Sales Transfer page.
