Performance of Excel Import enhanced

Module:

IMPORTANT

Excel Import performance enhancement technical notes

If you are having 32 bit Microsoft Office in a 64 bit server machine and you are trying to launch AccessDatabaseEngine_X64.exe (Microsoft ACE OLEDB Provider) then you may find the following errors,

either - You cannot install the 64-bit version of Microsoft Access Database Engine 2010 because you currently have 32-bit products installed

or - The Microsoft Ace OLEDB 12.0 is not registered on the GINESYS APPLICATION SERVER


To have it run properly you need to launch it from a command line with the “/passive” argument specified. To install the Microsoft ACE OLEDB Provider 64-bit on a machine running Office 2010 32-bit: C:\> AccessDatabaseEngine_X64.exe /passive [where C:\ stands for the drive in which the Microsoft Office is installed] You can download and install AccessDatabaseEngine_X64.exe from the following link

 http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?familyid=C06B8369-60DD-4B64-A44B-84B371EDE16D&displaylang=en

Goods should be returned from the supplier last in the particular site

Module:

Procurement - Goods Return Challan - Goods Return Challan-Wizard

Enhancement Summary:

In HO, a particular item should be returned to the last supplier who had supplied it to that particular site. This helps in maintaining clarity and data integrity in the software.

Scenario:

Let’s say if Supplier A has supplied some items to Site 1 and Supplier B has provided the same items to Site 2. Then the GRT has to be made with respect to Supplier A when the goods are returned from Site 1 and GRT will be made against Supplier B when the goods are returned from Site 2. No GRT can be created for Supplier B from Site 1 or Supplier A from Site 2 for those items if supplier is selected in the first step of the wizard.
