After their successful roll-out of TransLution™ in the warehouse and in manufacturing, TrafFix extended their TransLution™ implementation to include labor tracking. TrafFix was previously using manual time and job cards to track and manage labor tracking after the event, making the process inefficient and slow. They needed a solution that could track employees in real time as they worked on single or multiple jobs simultaneously.
Previously, it tricky to print landscape reports – the solution was to change the printer settings landscape which then, of course, didn’t work particularly well if the same printer was required to print both a landscape and portrait style report.
are delighted to announce the release of TransLution V62. This release focusses on improving the implementation experience and I am hoping that you will be as excited by the end result as we are.

The structure is such that you can go through all the features one after the other or you can simply dip in and choose to look at the bits that are of interest today and come back another time to look at the rest.

While the display sequence of steps is managed by the Next step defined on each step, it is useful to view the steps on the Flow Step Maintenance Form in the sequence that users will see them.
If you build a function in sequence, this happens by default. However, you may have found yourself with a function with multiple steps – say 20 or 30 – and you need to add a new step. The step will be added at the bottom of the grid when really you want it near the top.

Since the release of TransLution™ V5.4 it is possible to configure a pool of SYSPRO Operators and TransLution™ will use the first available operator to do the required SYSPRO post. This allows for far more scalability than in the past when a fixed operator was used for all posts of a certain type.
One occurrence when using pooled operators is that if for some reason a logoff fails, that operator may be marked as “in use” to the system, thereby making the pool of available operators smaller. If this happens two or three times, eventually it may affect the ability of the software to do the required posts if it sees some or all of the pooled operators as unavailable.
