We recently upgraded to Progression 7.6.400 SPB. It appears there were changes made to the Item transaction history screen (IM04SI). Our old modified screen did not work so I went back to the default screen. When I tab through the starting location the ending location is filled with square...

Has anyone installed 7.6.400 sp B yet? I don't really like being on the 'bleeding edge' with a new release. Appreciate any feedback. Thanks! Jim

Hi, I have added a entry field to enter tag counts screen so we can enter the inventory location that the item was counted in. (we don't use multi-bin). When I try to change the tab order, I am unable to include my new field in the tab order, thus requiring a mouse click for the operator to...

I am new to using flexibility and am trying simplify data entry by setting several field values. The problem I run into is setting the value of fields that are not on the current tab. For example, when adding a new item master record I would like to set some of the values on tab 3 of this...

I am trying to lookup a value in a table based on a calculated key. Example: I have several parts in a table, some of these parts have a specific suffix (-SP) I want to lookup the same part in a table without the -SP. Part Value Calculated Key 12345-SP 12345 22233-SP 22233...

I am trying to send PCL control commands to my laserjet printer using escape sequences in form designer. I am not having much success, I just get the escape sequence string printed on the form. If anyone has done this, I would appreciate the assistance. Thanks! Jim

We are looking at barcoding shop floor activity in Macola. I found a thread back in 2001 regarding this, but nothing more recent. Any suggestions - pros/cons regarding bar coding. Currently our shop employees write the shop order, operation, quantity and time on a shop order and we manually...

Just a heads up related to windows XP service pack 2. After installing it on 2 workstations both would no longer run Macola. I didn't try to trouble shoot it - doing a system restore was faster. Jim

I cannot follow the logic Macola is using when posting variances to shop orders (in SFC) when a PO is tied to a non inventory item on the shop order. (sorry, using logic and Macola in the same sentence was truly accidental!) For example. I enter a PO to a material (or outside processing) non...

We are (attempting) to run MRP and were just begining to see the light at the end of the tunnel and realized it was a freight train! We have outside process operations in our routings (i.e. painting) that we issue a PO for and tie the po to the shop order. We also use the 'P' PO flag in the...

We have several items that may be manufactured or purchased based on several factors. Typically all fabricated parts are created by engineering as a manufactured part with a BOM and a routing. At times due to tooling considerations, cost or whatever we will choose to outsource this part; at...

We have several parts that have an outside operation as their last routing operation. The problem is Macola does not allow an outside operation to have a 'Y' count point. The only way to complete the part and process the 'Y' count point appears to be to add a bogus operation after the outside...

Is anyone using backflush labor in routings? It appears only the labor time is backflushed not the machine time. Yet the documentation refers to both machine and labor time as being backflushed when using this option. I don't know if this is a setup issue or if the program doesn't function as...

Hi from a very new (and green) Macola user. I have spent the last couple of weeks trying to digest the documentation on Macola to help get the system implemented - long story. (baptism by fire hose!) My past experience has been with 'higher end' packages like ROI's Manage 2000 and Mapics. I...

I went through and rebuilt the files on the modules we are using. When running rebuild on the Employee Audit File in the payroll module (PRAUDFIL) I receive a Cobol Application Error. Application: M:\macola\VBMac.exe Exception Number: EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION Generation Module...

We are running Progression 7.6.200.5 (Feb patch) on a Novell server (5.1 sp7), pervasive 2000i SP4 with Windows XP clients (running Novell Client 4.83 sp3) TCP/IP. When logging in through PWE, we receive the error message - An error occurred while getting the DSN name. We are able to accept...
