The following additional enhancements were added for the Eagle 29.1 release:
Document Scanning Queue (DSQ) - The DSQ Acquire function has a new "Lot ID" field. This allows you to add documents to specific SKU/Lot records. According to a new industry regulation you need to attach Certificate Of Inspection to commercial and industrial SKU’s sold at POS. A Certificate Of Inspection notes the country the product was purchased from and contains detailed product specifications. When an audit occurs, the customer must be able to show what Certificates Of Inspection documents are associated with the SKU/Lot items that were sold. The auditor will randomly select invoices that contain commercial and industrial items and request the certificates that were associated with them. Certificates Of Inspection are included with the vendor invoice or packing list.
Note: This step should be done during the receiving process to ensure that Certificates Of Inspection are associated with the SKU before they are sold at POS. A new feature has been added to POS that displays the Certificate Of Inspection documents associated with the SKU/Lot items sold at POS. Refer to the POS Enhancements section for information on this feature.
Log Selection Viewer (SHOWLOG) - You can now view a description of the Log file to get a better idea of what information it contains. The Description about the log file displays in a dialog box.
