Release Summary

For programs and take rates, now the production planning of sub-projects can be accessed at the multi project. Previously, this was only possible at the respective sub-project. So, the production period and the volumes are determined and set when the quantities are set in the take rate dialog. As of version 12.3 the feature “Programs and Take Rates” requires a license.

An additional dialog in the Workspace Explorer now prevents the user from accidentally moving projects and folders. Further, customer-specific column views are available via list styles in the Workspace Explorer.

In the Project Cockpit, surcharges can now also be reset for all years. Before, resetting surcharges was only possible for every single year.

In version 12.3 machine depreciation and imputed interest can also be continued after the end of the depreciation period. This setting can be made for both standard and project-specific machines.

 

More new functionalities can be found in Other Enhancements.

Other Enhancements

  • License for Programs and Take Rates

    • The use of programs and take rates is subject to licensing as of version 12.3. The function is offered as a module / server license and is available to all users after installation.

  • Batch data administration - Surcharges from SOI

    • In batch data administration, surcharges can now be entered by default from SOI (start of investment) on a project-specific basis. This way, surcharges that affect investment values can be administered.

  • Enhanced value determination for prices and tariffs

    • The value determination for tariffs and prices has been extended and now also returns values if they are more than 10 years before SOP or after EOP.
    • This function can be activated or deactivated in the system settings under System > Dynamic data > "Do not consider prices and tariffs...". The setting can be overwritten project-specifically.
    • Calculation results in versions are not changed by the setting.

  • Webreporting - Export target costs

    • For web reporting, the annual target costs and the variance are now also provided.
    • For this purpose, the table WRSurcharges has been extended by the two surcharges: VD_TargetCost and VD_TargetCostDeviation. The surcharges are available on projects (WRProjectCost), parts (WRPartCost), manufacturing processes (WRProcessCost), and additional costs (WRCostofAdditionalCost).

  • Rights on the investment tab in the Project Cockpit

    • Project-specific read and write permissions can be administered for the investment tab in the Project Cockpit. The permission can be administered in the rights management under Project > Edit investments. If the user does not have permission, the “Investments” category is not displayed in the Project Cockpit (also when comparing projects).
    • With read permission, the category is displayed as read-only. In addition, the authorization is checked for the CEA license (Capital Efficiency Analysis).

  • Security-related information

    • Security-related information is no longer stored in log files.
