  • AWS Disclaimer: We have been helping our customers with AWS but these days AWS has been changing its pricing polices frequently. We do not have any association with AWS and also do not have the expertise to understand these policies. We wish to make it clear to our customers that we cannot stand responsible for charges levied by AWS. We will continue to help you but do not wish to be responsible for it.

 

 What's new

  • A "Details" option has been added while selecting an item in Purchase Requisition. Users can now instantly view important item information such as Current Stock, Free Stock, Allocated Stock, MOQ (Minimum Order Quantity), EOQ (Economic Order Quantity), and other relevant details, enabling better purchase decisions and faster data entry.
  • A Multiple Schedule provision has been added in Purchase Requisition. While selecting an item, users can now specify if multiple delivery schedules are required. The system automatically creates multiple schedule entries for the same item with the respective quantities and required-by dates, reducing manual effort and improving purchase planning accuracy.
  • A Revert option has been added in RFQ. Authorised users can now revert a finalised RFQ back to an editable stage, make the necessary corrections or updates, and finalise it again, ensuring greater flexibility and improved data accuracy

 Case Study

Accounts Vouchers Approval

Customer Introduction:

This company adds 200 plus vouchers a day into OurSys and needed a mechanism to control vouchers

Challenge

OurSys had the freeze date function which is used by accounts heads to lock voucher data month by month to ensure the vouchers are not changed. But there was no way to mark individual vouchers as checked. There was risk that some vouchers could be changed by users after checking before it was frozen. Also sometimes only a particular type of voucher needs approval. There was no way to set only a particular type of voucher for approval

The Solution:

We have now introduced Account Voucher Approval, allowing users to configure approval workflows for selected voucher types from the available 13 voucher categories. This enables organisations to apply approvals only where required while avoiding additional approval steps for routine vouchers. For system-generated vouchers, such as Sales Voucher from Sales Invoice and Purchase Voucher from Supplier Invoice, the system will automatically follow the configured approval workflow before posting the accounting entries.

The Result / Benefits:

Thus security of data was ensured without increasing the load of approval by too much.
