The new version of GRC (Goods Receive Challan) has come along with some major changes to enhance performance and ease of use. This article attempts to answer your queries in a precise and concise manner. Please note, that it is an ongoing work based on consumer queries and our own research.

There are various scenarios explained below related to update of Goods Receive Challan (GRC) through Auto Update:

Solution: The entire GRC module has now been shifted to Ginesys Web from the desktop application and the GRC Wizard option has been removed from GRC module from Ginesys HO version 11.145.12. GRC wizard was provided as a help to create GRC from multiple PO of the same vendor. But now, since  Mixed GRCs is allowed in Goods In/Out > Receipts, the GRC wizard is no longer required.

I am unable to receive adhoc item in web through Scan Item or Select Item, after updating to Ginesys Application version, 11.145.12. The "Ad hoc item selection is not allowed. Unable to proceed."  is displayed for this issue. What should I do?

Solution: Please note that users who were previously able to make GRCs in web may not be able to do the same after this update. Now access to Procurement - Receipts is based on options selected in the applied User Profile and not Menu Role. The user with an administrative role needs to provide the necessary access to you by selecting the Profile - 'Allow Adhoc item selection in Receipts' from Ginesys Web > Admin > Security > User Profile > Procurement and Save it. Now you can Re-login and receive the adhoc items in the GRC module of Ginesys Web.

These changes have been made to handle conflicts in user profile. The conflict will occur due to following reason - 
Suppose there are two users (A & B). User A has privilege only for GRC Against Order whereas User B has access to only Ginesys Web - Receipts. Now if the same User Profile is tagged to both the users (A and B), then after this update both the users will not be able to select items in receipts. This is due to mismatched Menu roles which admin users are now trying to assign to both the users through same user profile.

Either A and B, both, must be allowed to select Adhoc as well as Order items or separate profile needs to be created and assigned to respective user. You can always provide access to all Receipt modules through enabling the required settings from Ginesys Web - Admin - Security - User Profile > Procurement (tab).
