<br />
We've added new features to make it easier to monitor how long batches have been on a tank and provide warnings if the batch is approaching or has passed its expiry date.<br />
<br />
<h3>
Configuring expiry dates</h3>
On ColorPoint Manager, add the "Shelf Life" attribute against a material and set its value to the number of days this batch will expire after being opened and attached to a valve.<br />
<br />
<h3>
Monitoring Batch Expiry</h3>
On the main page of ColorPoint console, a new button will be shown. When no batches are expiring, it will appear as below:<br />

This is a weight value set against a tank. When the tank weight is at or below this weight OR the dispense you are trying to make will take the weight below this level, the dispense will be prevented until the tank weight is above the Stop Weight.</p> <p>The main use case for this feature is to provide a “hard stop” to prevent stock from going below an acceptable minimum level. This is useful in scenarios where strict stock control is in place and the stock must never go below a defined amount, generally zero, however there is sometimes the need to ensure there is a minimum amount of stock in the tank that is above zero.</p> <p>The feature is used as below:</p> <p>To access the setting, go to the Supply Vessel Contents page (M005), select the desired tank and click Edit. You will see the below screen:</p> <p><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-UzzRAIYVNME/WA3Ik5qPXZI/AAAAAAAAAhs/qGLUVh_lLtg/s1600-h/image%25255B3%25255D.png"><img title="image" style="border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; background-image: none; border-bottom-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; display: inline; padding-right: 0px; border-top-width: 0px" border="0" alt="image" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-ViFV6T9NHe0/WA3IleJoWPI/AAAAAAAAAh0/7cp_NNwCqfY/image_thumb%25255B1%25255D.png?imgmax=800" width="402" height="312"></a></p> <p>The default value of Stop Weight is not set, which means that dispensing will never be stopped regardless of weight. This behaviour is how the console worked prior to this feature being added.</p> <p>To set it, just select the field and enter a weight using the on-screen keyboard:</p> <p><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-PgP3ThPTG1I/WA3ImApGgyI/AAAAAAAAAh8/Litf06usMWY/s1600-h/image%25255B7%25255D.png"><img title="image" style="border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; background-image: none; border-bottom-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; display: inline; padding-right: 0px; border-top-width: 0px" border="0" alt="image" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6ZALPe6uC3BvuVh7GfuHesyr28ME9bjem7UjSgSYqgBGUul9OcF6nHN71kjE2xpo_7pomZiMgN2cIPUseJnligQywPgInMWm7hg_y3Q4p60pxZ5C1Wpx9U7TfFPU95McPBKuksVS2EYTY/?imgmax=800" width="408" height="315"></a></p> <p>Once this has been set, if an attempt is made to dispense while the tank is below this weight or where the requested dispense amount will take the tank below the set amount, the stop icon will appear in the warning panel:</p> <p><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-62QO67a1T6o/WA3InZrvE9I/AAAAAAAAAiM/TjfJ6XFHJos/s1600-h/image%25255B15%25255D.png"><img title="image" style="border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; background-image: none; border-bottom-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; display: inline; padding-right: 0px; border-top-width: 0px" border="0" alt="image" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-MIQG6xUSpds/WA3IoOxgK5I/AAAAAAAAAiU/O5gLLNSFPPg/image_thumb%25255B7%25255D.png?imgmax=800" width="407" height="316"></a></p> <p>To proceed with dispensing, go to Supply Vessel Contents page and refill the tank so it is above the Stop Weight level.

<br />
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">It is sometimes desirable to take a dispense or issue that
has been booked against one job and re-allocate part of it against a different job,
for instance if there is material left in a press sump that you want to
allocate to the next job to run.</span></div>
<br />

original dispense. In some situations this is not practical, so there is now a
feature on CPC that allows you to select the vessel during the return booking in
process.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">While on the return booking in screen (R003), there is a new button on the
left side which allows the operator to cycle through the available dispense
vessels, from smallest capacity to largest capacity. The current vessel capacity
is displayed at the top of the screen. The selected vessel will be saved as the
return’s vessel when pressing the save button.</span><br />

Sometimes you may need to attach additional data to an entity in ColorPoint that isn’t part of the main application. To do this you need to use attributes.</p> <h2>What is an Attribute?</h2> <p>An attribute is a piece of custom data that you can attach to any of the main data entities in ColorPoint. The entities that we can define attributes for are: Material, Formula, Design, Job, Return, Dispense, Supplier, Customer, Address, Contact, Cylinder, Downtime Event, Machine, Substrate, Material Batch, VOC Area, VOC Type, and Campaign.</p> <h2></h2> <h2>Creating an Attribute</h2> <p>To create an attribute, you must be an administrator. Go to Admin | Configuration | Edit Attributes as shown below.</p> <p><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-O5D3QAG_PBQ/VJKuk8W33nI/AAAAAAAAAco/B-jkBg_XqE8/s1600-h/image%25255B5%25255D.png"><img title="image" style="border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; margin: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; padding-right: 0px" border="0" alt="image" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-xTfDCaAqiHk/VJKulZzoTqI/AAAAAAAAAcs/IZT0tpWz1MQ/image_thumb%25255B1%25255D.png?imgmax=800" width="244" height="144"></a></p> <p>Select the entity you are adding the attribute to.</p> <p><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-V89pn-bkHko/VJKul-2ZAoI/AAAAAAAAAc0/NwYD_6lZByE/s1600-h/image%25255B8%25255D.png"><img title="image" style="border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; margin: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; padding-right: 0px" border="0" alt="image" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-RZSfcXtrWGM/VJKumjM3NtI/AAAAAAAAAc8/M3661rUFeE8/image_thumb%25255B2%25255D.png?imgmax=800" width="102" height="244"></a></p> <p>The existing attributes for your entity will be shown.</p> <p><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-gkuALerhgWA/VJKunHY80rI/AAAAAAAAAdE/zasN5eyvOCM/s1600-h/image%25255B11%25255D.png"><img title="image" style="border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; margin: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; padding-right: 0px" border="0" alt="image" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-heS4sHxHf_k/VJKunnYly9I/AAAAAAAAAdM/M709VPzKjyQ/image_thumb%25255B3%25255D.png?imgmax=800" width="244" height="120"></a></p> <p>Click “Add New” to create a new attribute.

To aid detecting that the correct vessel is on the scale, a number of parameters are set for each vessel size. </p> <p>Below is an example of a dispense vessel:</p> <ul> <li>Capacity: 20 Kg</li> <li>Volume: 20 l</li> <li>Minimum Empty Weight: 0.8 Kg</li> <li>Maximum Empty Weight: 1.0 Kg</li> <li>Nominal Weight: 0.85 Kg</li> <li>Lid Weight: 0.1 Kg</li> <li>Default Vessel for Head</li></ul> <h2> </h2> <h2>Capacity</h2> <p>The maximum weight the vessel can hold. This is also used to identify your vessel, and for overflow calculations.</p> <h2>Volume</h2> <p>The maximum volume your vessel can hold. This is used for overflow calculations.</p> <h2>Minimum and Maximum Empty Weight</h2> <p>The minimum and maximum weight a vessel of this type should weigh. This is used to detect that the vessel you have selected to use is the vessel on the scale. If an empty 20 Kg vessel is placed on the scale, it must weigh between 0.8 and 1.0 Kg, otherwise the “Wrong Vessel On Scale” icon will be displayed:</p> <p><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-whG6wXSt4s0/VGXspkmhMeI/AAAAAAAAAaY/vMkup7tm4XU/s1600-h/clip_image001%25255B3%25255D.png"><img title="clip_image001" style="border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; padding-right: 0px" border="0" alt="clip_image001" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-NYgMwcHqcq0/VGXsqX3MswI/AAAAAAAAAac/BNrJNm9Qu4c/clip_image001_thumb.png?imgmax=800" width="59" height="64"></a></p> <p>It is important that the range of weight between the minimum and maximum empty weight is kept as small as possible, as this makes handling the vessel more accurate. It is also important the vessels weight ranges do not overlap, e.g. a 25 Kg vessel with a weight range of 0.9 to 1.1 kg could be confused with the 20 Kg vessel and incorrectly detect the 20 Kg capacity as 25 Kg, allowing the user to potentially overfill the vessel.</p> <h2>Nominal Weight</h2> <p>The nominal weight defaults to the mid-point between the minimum and maximum empty weight, but may be different. It should be set to the value that you expect a brand new empty vessel to weigh. This value is used as the vessel weight in situations where the original empty vessel weight is unknown, e.g. booking in a return without the original dispense data.</p> <h2>Lid Weight</h2> <p>This value helps to accurately determine the weight of returned ink in a vessel. The lid weight is used if returns are booked in with the lid on. If returns are booked in before the lid is put on, set the value to 0 Kg.</p> <h2>Default Vessel For Head</h2> <p>This setting is only used on multi head dispensers where the scale size differs between heads, e.g. 300 Kg on Head 1 and 35 Kg on head 2. It is used to override the vessel selection when a vessel to large for the scale is selected. Setting this in other situations has no effect and it can be ignored.</p> <p> </p> <h1>Other Useful Information</h1> <h2></h2> <h2>No vessel on scale</h2> <p>When the scale weight is below 0.1 Kg the no vessel on scale warning icon will be shown.</p> <p><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-T03rB9N_KZ4/VGXsq2j1KKI/AAAAAAAAAak/bF-WdzKvmak/s1600-h/clip_image001%25255B4%25255D%25255B2%25255D.png"><img title="clip_image001[4]" style="border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; padding-right: 0px" border="0" alt="clip_image001[4]" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-Rlvy2y4d4Mk/VGXsrVk7pLI/AAAAAAAAAas/GUyoqTRusCc/clip_image001%25255B4%25255D_thumb.png?imgmax=800" width="59" height="64"></a></p> <p>If you see this icon and there is a vessel on the scale, it is possible that the scale was zeroed while the vessel was on the scale, especially if the vessel was on the scale when the system was started.</p> <h2>Unknown Vessel On Scale</h2> <p>If the vessel on the scale does not match the weight range of any know vessel, the unknown vessel icon is displayed.</p> <p><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-MnhBa6PLVJQ/VGXsrgykEOI/AAAAAAAAAa0/FVV_G7Lqvvg/s1600-h/clip_image001%25255B6%25255D%25255B2%25255D.png"><img title="clip_image001[6]" style="border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; padding-right: 0px" border="0" alt="clip_image001[6]" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5jtLUzbJVxvoE9rVuWQCD5Wg_jCoyngpilFi4NLfZL1mUpd55gvsUgKn16MVqzkaMKJJX7gRil6975i6qxwrcGYfM7gr3OWPrU2sJIynPCF5xMxJ8imWljwslPjIKaKiGWtbQ-iMe0Z8h/?imgmax=800" width="59" height="64"></a></p> <p>This often indicates the the vessel on the scale is not empty, and that the top-up function should be used.</p> <h2>Vessel Overfill</h2> <p>This icon indicates that the amount selected is too large for the vessel selected.</p> <p><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-q1m-PuownbM/VGXstOE5cfI/AAAAAAAAAbE/ndsXuGK7GF4/s1600-h/clip_image001%25255B8%25255D%25255B2%25255D.png"><img title="clip_image001[8]" style="border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; padding-right: 0px" border="0" alt="clip_image001[8]" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-_l7yVy-thEk/VGXstkRFtrI/AAAAAAAAAbM/rgkpoxhFiaE/clip_image001%25255B8%25255D_thumb.png?imgmax=800" width="59" height="64"></a></p> <p>This often indicates the the vessel on the scale is not empty, and that the top-up function should be used.</p> Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3224150711199911063.post-25496891740702901162014-08-19T09:23:00.000+01:002015-01-05T15:11:32.377+00:00Import Validation Tool<br />

HIGH pressure controls the pump speed in full flow and LOW pressure controls the pump speed in low flow and during spitting. If the HIGH setting is too high the dispenser may over dispense. If the setting is too low, the pump may stall and fail to pump any material.</p> <p>Generally the HIGH setting should be greater than the LOW setting unless advised by a Rexson engineer.</p> <p>The tolerance settings are UNDER, ALARM and %. % tolerance comes into effect on dispenses larger than 1 kg. % tolerance works the same for amounts above or below the requested amount and is usually set to 1%.</p> <p>In smaller dispenses UNDER determines the largest amount that the dispensed amount can deviate below the requested amount and still be in tolerance. ALARM determines the largest amount that the dispensed amount can deviate above the requested amount and still be in tolerance. On a water based ink system, these settings are usually the same at 0.005 kg for colours and 0.020 kg for non-colour products. Some strong colours may require smaller tolerances of 0.002 kg.</p> <p>If the UNDER tolerance is set to 0.020 kg, any request for less than 0.020 kg of material will be seen as in tolerance, so no material is dispensed. This is the correct behaviour for absolute tolerances.</p> <p>To set the tolerances and pressures you will need a supervisor (level 3) or engineer/master (level 4) RFID key.</p> <p>From the Main Menu go to Configuration</p> <p> </p> <p><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-uvAZTPj1yPM/U-zkTEsoghI/AAAAAAAAAXo/BpbFu7H0uFk/s1600-h/image%25255B2%25255D.png"><img title="image" style="border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; margin: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; padding-right: 0px" border="0" alt="image" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-d9fzwrzjVbc/U-zkTlf_m-I/AAAAAAAAAXs/AtVFovcwkhM/image_thumb.png?imgmax=800" width="244" height="39"></a></p> <p>then Operations</p> <p><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-4PGcoPveBjM/U-zkUHM74FI/AAAAAAAAAX0/shtuEA1sNqg/s1600-h/image%25255B5%25255D.png"><img title="image" style="border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; margin: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; padding-right: 0px" border="0" alt="image" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-cYifgtJ4kLI/U-zkUs1EX9I/AAAAAAAAAX8/ctC-Pcahhp8/image_thumb%25255B1%25255D.png?imgmax=800" width="244" height="85"></a></p> <p>From here you can view the settings for each dispense valve</p> <p><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-P5cXgrv2450/U-zkVDdwlrI/AAAAAAAAAYE/vHg5bt4LN_c/s1600-h/image%25255B8%25255D.png"><img title="image" style="border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; margin: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; padding-right: 0px" border="0" alt="image" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-D3v-bkLeIc0/U-zkVi49A3I/AAAAAAAAAYM/Vd208BwoWtU/image_thumb%25255B2%25255D.png?imgmax=800" width="244" height="143"></a></p> <p>Using the arrow buttons on the bottom right of the screen, select the valve number for the material you wish to adjust.

The functionality to achieve this is in a free extension to CPM that is not included by default as most users have no need for it. If you need this functionality but don’t see the functionality described below then contact Rexson and we will be happy to include the functionality for you.</p> <p>The first thing to do is to add the types of VOCs you wish to track to the system. To do this go the Admin menu and then to VOC and then VOC Types.</p> <p> </p> <p><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-WbpSpO9fweM/U619OnlAJVI/AAAAAAAAAVY/S-UmGz5m0rQ/s1600-h/image%25255B6%25255D.png"><img title="image" style="border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; padding-right: 0px" border="0" alt="image" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-Q4ZiyaMKaKM/U619PUC1d7I/AAAAAAAAAVg/8xVnxT3id5U/image_thumb%25255B2%25255D.png?imgmax=800" width="308" height="188"></a></p> <p>The VOC types you need to enter will depend on what you wish to report and what state laws requires you be able to report on. If possible the simplest course of actions is to as few VOC types as possible. Some sites have only a single VOC type while others have several types such as Ink VOCs, Varnish VOCs etc. for each type of material they wish to report on. In rare cases some sites will have a VOC type for every individual VOC they have to report on such as Ethyl Acetate but most state regulations do not require this level of detail. </p> <p>Once you have selected the VOC Types item in the menu then adding new VOC types is very similar to adding a new material. The only things that you need to supply are a name and a code and a default specific gravity.</p> <p>Once you’ve finished adding VOC types you need to go through each material and associate the VOC types you have created with the materials on the system. To do this open a material and click the VOC button on the left hand side of the screen. You will be presented with a screen that is much like the screen you see when creating a formula that will allow you to specify how much of the material is made up of various types of VOC.</p> <p><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/--tZcTAfKTz8/U619Plrz8KI/AAAAAAAAAVo/yZSVsuF5ce8/s1600-h/image%25255B10%25255D.png"><img title="image" style="border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; padding-right: 0px" border="0" alt="image" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-HoP9wnpZGIQ/U619QbE-VzI/AAAAAAAAAVw/2hLXtic8dlk/image_thumb%25255B4%25255D.png?imgmax=800" width="644" height="201"></a></p> <p>The percentage field refers to the % of weight (either US pounds or kilograms depending on your system settings) that the VOC in question takes up in the material. So if you you dispensed a material that was entirely made up of a VOC then the percentage would be 100%. The specific gravity field is inherited from the value you put into the VOC type field but can be modified by double clicking on the value. The specific gravity will be either US pounds per gallon or kilograms per litre depending on your system settings.</p> <p>Once you have modified all your materials to accurately reflect their VOC composition you can then start receiving stock batches of those materials in the normal way. If you have already received stock batches for those materials and need to apply the changes then contact Rexson and will apply the changes to your existing dispense history.</p> <h3></h3> <h3></h3> <h2>ADDING VOC AREAS</h2> <p>If you need to report on VOC usage for a specific machine or area then you will need to both create the areas and assign them to any jobs that you create. Adding a VOC area is very simple just go to the Admin menu item and then to VOC and VOC Areas. Once on this screen you can add a VOC area by pressing the add button and providing a code and name for the area. How many areas you need to add will be dictated by your reporting requirements. If you need to report individually on each printing press then simply add one area for each machine you need to report on.</p> <p>If you are tracking VOC usage by machine then you will need to double click each machine in the machines list (which you can open by going to Machines in the operations menu) and selecting the area associated with that machine.</p> <a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-KlnE6pbG1NM/U619Qz5PDNI/AAAAAAAAAV0/AJKUooOfi30/s1600-h/image%25255B18%25255D.png"><img title="image" style="border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; padding-right: 0px" border="0" alt="image" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-yuvtNv3cdc4/U619Rca__XI/AAAAAAAAAV8/PRjBh35coCA/image_thumb%25255B8%25255D.png?imgmax=800" width="454" height="308"></a> <p>You can assign more than one machine to an area and if you are not interested in the other benefits of machine tracking then you can simply create a machine named after the VOC area you wish to track VOC usage for.</p> <h2>ASSOCIATING DISPENSES WITH VOC AREAS</h2> <p>Finally to associate dispenses with a VOC area you need to create a job to assign those dispenses to. On the job you create you can select the machine that corresponds to the VOC area that you want dispenses assigned to that job to be recorded against. If you are not planning to use jobs then you can create a job specifically to represent a VOC area and then just keep that job open though we generally recommend creating a new job per VOC area per month just to make record keeping easier.</p> Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3224150711199911063.post-35464043685520890652014-05-21T14:51:00.001+01:002014-05-21T15:05:03.035+01:00Changes to the formula screen to incorporate fixed % additives<br />
Recently we have added an additional column to the formula items screen to make adding materials at a fixed % easier.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-CzOZ_4Vt-Rs/U3yvZKmkVxI/AAAAAAAAAUw/MWguMJY6DcY/s1600-h/FixedMaterial%25255B3%25255D.png"><img alt="FixedMaterial" border="0" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-SRhFGdRVcPM/U3yvZrMv6YI/AAAAAAAAAU4/wb52QzlmT1c/FixedMaterial_thumb%25255B1%25255D.png?imgmax=800" height="150" style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: inline; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="FixedMaterial" width="380" /></a><br />
<br />
When you tick the ‘Is Fixed’ column for a given material it means that the parts of that item will not be changed when the formula items are re-apportioned. This is useful for scenarios where you know that a certain material must always make up a certain percentage of a formula. So if you increased the parts of the red in the screenshot above to 60 and then had the software reapportion the formula (which it would do automatically when you pressed the save button), the result would be as follows.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-ivGFJoZdw9g/U3yvaSGPrOI/AAAAAAAAAVA/xoycWyw7IyQ/s1600-h/FixedMaterial2%25255B3%25255D.png"><img alt="FixedMaterial2" border="0" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-9vsgkc3TsCI/U3yvbMlj_KI/AAAAAAAAAVI/2Z19oHebLzE/FixedMaterial2_thumb%25255B1%25255D.png?imgmax=800" height="144" style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: inline; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="FixedMaterial2" width="376" /></a><br />
<br />
As you can see the green has become roughly 1/3 smaller than the amount of red but the amount of medium in the formula has been unaffected. This feature was in previous versions of ColorPoint Manager but was specified as a property of the material and once a material was marked as being a fixed % additive it was considered fixed in every formula. The new system is more flexible in that it allows materials to be made fixed on a case by case basis. It is important to note that ticking the ‘Is Fixed’ check box does not mean that you will not be able to change the parts of the material manually, only that they will not be changed when the formula is re-apportioned.Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3224150711199911063.post-74987804042669196242014-05-16T09:37:00.001+01:002014-05-16T09:38:49.649+01:00Finishing Stock Batches<p>When a tank of raw material is used up and the weight falls to zero (or below), ColorPoint Manager highlights the batch in red.

As time goes by most sites tend to find they have an ever increasing number of formulas which can become quite difficult to manage effectively and can make searching for specific formulas more difficult. ColorPoint provides the ability to mitigate this problem by making formulas obsolete which removes them from search results while still allowing them to be viewed and re-introduced if necessary. Sometimes it can be hard to decide which formulas should be made obsolete and time consuming to make a large number of formulas that can’t be selected in a single search obsolete.<br />
<h2>
The solution</h2>
ColorPoint Manager contains an administrative level feature that shows which formulas have not been used since a given date and allows you to make them obsolete all at once. This feature can be launched by going to Admin menu and selecting ‘Obsolete unused formulas’<br />
<a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-SuPA0mS8ERE/UI6U_Ue54QI/AAAAAAAAAPg/9r4qm4EBm1M/s1600-h/Menu%25255B3%25255D.png"><img alt="Menu" border="0" height="158" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-ZcQ65k8ZA6E/UI6VAJaRbLI/AAAAAAAAAPo/jMSnsCrpg20/Menu_thumb%25255B1%25255D.png?imgmax=800" style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: inline; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="Menu" width="539" /></a><br />
From here you will be presented with a textbox the date you want to use to define which formulas you consider to be obsolete. By default we say that if a formula hasn’t been used in the 2 years before today then there’s a good chance you might not need it in the immediate future either. You can of course adjust this date to increase or decrease the number of formulas being made obsolete. Pressing the ‘Find Formulas’ button will start the process of looking for formulas which haven’t been used in the specified time frame. This step may take a moment depending on the number of formulas on the system but you can see progress as it goes and cancel the operation at any point.<br />

<h2>
Why are designs there?</h2>
When you make a formula obsolete it means that you can no longer create jobs from any design that contains a formula which is obsolete, so the designs box shows you which designs will be made obsolete as a result of the selected formulas being made obsolete. If there is a design that you know you will be using in the near future then if you un-tick it then the formulas it contains will also be automatically un-ticked as well. Similarly formulas can also be un-ticked directly if you know you will need them soon.<br />
Once you have selected the appropriate formulas and designs are ready to proceed, you simply press the ‘Make Obsolete’ button which will show you a confirmation dialogue asking you if you wish to continue. The process of making formulas and designs obsolete may take a little while depending on how many items are being processed.<br />
<h2>
How do I get them back?</h2>
If it turns out that you do need to use one of the formulas you made obsolete then reintroducing them is a simple process. On the formula page select ‘Include’ from the obsolete drop down in the filter panel which will include all obsolete formulas in the search results. <br />
<a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-W_PR2wrKOGQ/UI6VCNd0M6I/AAAAAAAAAQA/ZD147DjPCNY/s1600-h/FilterObsolete%25255B2%25255D.png"><img alt="FilterObsolete" border="0" height="244" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-zgzFC5pqfK4/UI6VDDQ4qnI/AAAAAAAAAQI/q541fapJJG0/FilterObsolete_thumb.png?imgmax=800" style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: inline; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="FilterObsolete" width="211" /></a><br />
Once you have found the formula you want to use simply double click it and then select ‘Re-introduce Formula’ from the menu on the left hand side. <br />
<a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-tuXyGcojtjE/UI6VD7I7z1I/AAAAAAAAAQM/qmloH91_tLc/s1600-h/Reintroduce-Formula%25255B2%25255D.png"><img alt="Reintroduce-Formula" border="0" height="244" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-1JBl-apSMck/UI6VEll6VNI/AAAAAAAAAQY/ezP2wa-fFzc/Reintroduce-Formula_thumb.png?imgmax=800" style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: inline; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="Reintroduce-Formula" width="93" /></a><br />
This procedure can also be used to re-introduce designs that are obsolete. If a design you wish to re-introduce contains obsolete formulas you can open the formula easily by right clicking them from the design’s items screen and choosing ‘Open’.<br />
<a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-OzbwYuxM2xg/UI6VFoH_BpI/AAAAAAAAAQg/wojovx1-gSo/s1600-h/DesignItems%25255B3%25255D.png"><img alt="DesignItems" border="0" height="155" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-o87AZkkRKHI/UI6VGUKUcQI/AAAAAAAAAQo/M2NblxyFeAc/DesignItems_thumb%25255B1%25255D.png?imgmax=800" style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: inline; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="DesignItems" width="571" /></a><br />
<h2>
How often do I need to do this?</h2>
How often you need to run this will depend on how many formulas you create and whether the formulas you create are often re-used or not. We generally recommend having no more than 1000 non-obsolete formulas on the system at any given time but if you’re under this number it may still be a good idea to check ever year or so simply to make the number of formulas more manageable.<br />
<h2>
what if need more than 1000 non-obsolete formulas?</h2>
While it is possible that you may need more than 1000 non-obsolete formulas on your system you may be surprised at how few formulas you’re using on a regular basis. Even if you are using a large variety of formulas only formulas that you haven’t used in years will be suggested so the screen will not suggest making anything obsolete if you’ve used it recently.Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3224150711199911063.post-18006708229969597422012-08-28T11:24:00.001+01:002012-08-28T11:24:00.946+01:00Adding Returns Using Barcode Scanner<p><font size="3" face="Verdana">Booking returns into CPC using a barcode scanner is the simplest and most efficient method of booking in returns.

<span style="font-size: large;">Backup Methods</span></h2>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;">There are numerous options for archiving backups from CPM to external systems. Please contact Rexson with any details needed to set up your preferred solution.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<h3 style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;">External Drive</span></h3>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;">The simplest method is to plug in an external hard disk or flash drive. A script is available to automatically mirror the content of C:\SqlBackup\CPM to your external drive.</span><br />
<br /></div>
<h3 style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Pushed from ColorPoint </span></h3>
<div style="color: black; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">
<span style="font-size: small;">The system backups are run daily on CPM and the last 7 are kept. The backup script has a command to copy these files to a network folder every day after the backup runs. To enable this all we need to do is set the folder location in an environment variable. The script automatically removes older backups from the network folder, so you may want to copy out the most recent once a week for long term storage if needed.</span></div>
<div style="color: black; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="color: black; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Please advise Rexson of the backup location either as a UNC path (e.g. \\server\folder-for-backups) or as a mapped drive (e.g. X:\folder-for-backups). As long as the user running the scheduled task for the backup has permission to write to this location, the backups will take place automatically.</span><br />
<br /></div>
<div style="color: black; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">
</div>
<div style="color: black; font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">
<h3 style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Pulled by a task on your Network</span></h3>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">If the previous method is not suitable for your infrastructure then backups can be retrieved directly from CPM. The folder C:\SqlBackup is shared. The CPM sub-folder contains automated backups and CPM-User contains user initiated ad hoc backups. The local user account CustomerAdmin can be used for authentication. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">An sshd server runs on CPM. This can be configured to allow SFTP access to the backups. </span></span><br />
<br />
<br />
<h3>
Other Methods</h3>
<span style="font-size: small;">Backups may also be sent from CPM via FTP/SFTP by Rexson Agent. This is a paid add on. </span></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3224150711199911063.post-62870434132409188092012-05-28T11:23:00.000+01:002012-05-28T11:23:14.598+01:00ColorPoint Console 1.6 Recirculation Program Control<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

From CPC version 1.6 onwards the button to turn the main recirculation program on ColorPoint on or off has been moved from the recirculation settings page to the main configuration page along with an info panel on the configuration page showing the current recirculation state as shown above.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; color: black; font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-auto; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">

When the button was on the page for a particular pump's setting it was easy to confuse the use of the button as being only for that pump.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; color: black; font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-auto; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">

The new button indicates the recirculation state that pressing the button will achieve, e.g. "Recirc <span style="font-family: Arial;">►</span><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>ON" will turn on recirculation when it is already off and "Recirc <span style="font-family: Arial;">►</span> OFF" will turn it off when it is currently on.</div>
