Some manufacturers now offer you the opportunity to have your planning checked directly for possible planning errors. Inconsistencies and errors can be found and corrected in a simple way during the planning process, which were previously only recognised after an order had been placed.
If you are a new customer with manufacturers offering this extension, it will automatically be added to your account by Dispatch. For existing customers the extension will need to be added retrospectively.
To download the extension see article How to download catalogues and updates.
The planning check can be transferred directly from the open design via the menu option
Alternative > Additional modules > [Manufacturer] order control
Note: The check can also be run from the Project level via the same menu.
Your current design is now automatically checked for possible errors by the checking service and after the progress bar is at 100% you will receive a list of results for checking.
The check result shows a list of all errors, warnings and notes, sorted by position number of the design item concerned.
You can select each entry and on the right-hand side you will see a precise description of the error and, if available, useful additional information such as sample images or references to instructional media.
The window with the test result can remain open alongside the Winner plan. This allows you to check reported errors directly in the plan and correct them accordingly. In addition, the plan can be checked again at any time using the button at the top left.
Note: To ensure all necessary fields have been set up correctly, for example your customer number with the supplier, ensure you have read article: Adding your supplier customer number
