🛠 Bug Fixes

Stock Management in Customer Claims A critical error that caused negative values in stock reservations during the processing of claims with physical return of goods has been corrected.

The change: The process has been reorganized so that the physical entry of the piece (Real Stock) is registered at the time of accepting the claim, but it does not become "available for sale" until the credit is definitively issued.
Benefit: It ensures that the inventory is always consistent, preventing the sale of items that have not yet been checked or processed for accounting purposes.

Ordering by Age in "Sweeping of Remains" An inconsistency in the automatic allocation of stock when there are orders with the same priority has been resolved.

New features in the Invoicing Assistant

It is now possible to mass-confirm all invoices generated from the Invoicing Assistant, eliminating the need to open each invoice individually for manual confirmation.

If an invoice is on credit, the system will check the credit risk before confirming it, replicating the same behavior as SIMA does when confirming from the invoice document.
If any invoice in the batch cannot be confirmed (due to an error or credit risk), the process will continue with the remaining invoices.
At the end of the mass confirmation process, a message will indicate if any invoices were not confirmed. These will be easily identifiable in the list as they will remain in “Not Issued” status.

It is also now possible to mass-print all invoices generated from the Invoicing Assistant, without the need to open each invoice individually to print them manually.

Both features are configurable and can be enabled only for companies that make intensive use of the Invoicing Assistant.

When importing supplier invoice files with the Stellantis EP0093 format, the package information of each line (supplier package) will be imported, so that later this information can be used in the input pickings per package.

2. Codification required for some "coded parts"

Depending on the codification required for some "coded parts", sometimes it is mandatory to indicate both the VIN and the Key Code in the supplier order file sent to the manufacturer. Starting from this update, if this is the case of any part, and the line in the customer order has not been completed with both required fields, the user will not be allowed to confirm the customer order and will be notified with the parts that require their attention, to complete the information.

3. Stellantis and xFCA parts

When ordering in the Supplier Order Pool, separate supplier orders will be generated when they are Stellantis and xFCA parts, according to their Business Sector so that orders from the "Business Sector" can be sent to Stellantis separately to their corresponding SINCOM.

1. Sales invoices

The Concess File automatically generates the sales invoices, but there are cases in which these invoices cannot be confirmed, remaining in initial status.

The errors that cause sales invoices to be unable to be confirmed are:

Price problem:

A part included in the sales invoice has a purchase price higher than the sales price of the sales invoice.

In this case the sales invoice cannot be confirmed because there is a price mismatch.

New part:

A part included in the sales invoice is new.

It has just been created in the import of the purchase invoice, so the parts control board lacks information (Sales Price, Purchase Discount Group, Sales Discount Group, Tax Case, etc.).

In this case the sales invoice cannot be confirmed because the part information is missing.

In order to know how to resolve these errors, please refer the section Sales invoices with errors of the following page of the SIMA documentation: Sales invoices with errors

2. Local Supplier invoices

The process of confirming local supplier invoices has been unlocked, so the user can now do the whole process. By confirming the local supplier invoice, the sales invoices will be generated automatically.

The process of creating and confirming local supplier invoices is documented on the following page of the SIMA documentation: Local Supplier Invoices

3. New re-invoicing scheme

Currently the invoice creation scheme does not separate the sales invoices of R1 dealers and their different S1 dealers, as it does by order type (urgent, stock).

Therefore, this new scheme has the particularity of creating separate sales invoices for each of the "Ship To Party" dealers, separated by order type.
However, this is not the case for sales by R2 dealer, who continues to maintain a single sales invoice.

1. OPEC/GPEC

The GPEC file is the file that allows linking the "dealer order" with the corresponding "Hyundai Order" (importer order), which in turn will be linked to the corresponding "Invoice Number". The following modifications were made:

Remove the nightly task that generates the GPEC file, so that it is generated automatically when importing all the supplier invoices that arrive during the night.

We have added the "supplier package" with the information found in the supplier's invoices.

A separate file will be generated for each dealer on the supplier invoice.
Rename the file at the time of generation to include the invoice number as GPEC_{INVOICE NUMBER}{DealerCode}{yyyyMMdd}_{HHmmss}.csv

The OPEC file contains the invoice information of the references found in GPEC. The following modifications were made:

Remove information to the GPEC file "ID-GPEC".

Include information in the file on the "Dealer Package".

The "Total Document Value" information must be recalculated to include the value of the corresponding taxes.

1. Concess File

The Concess File is a file that is generated daily and contains the parts deliveries made to Dealers by suppliers.

This file is sent to the Dealers so that they can make the input picking of parts into their warehouses and thus start with the daily tasks, e.g. repairing vehicles in the workshops.

This file is generated on the basis of the purchase invoices received from the supplier and the process is divided into the following steps:

Import of purchase invoices received from supplier

Detection of new parts not existing in the parts master

Creation in the parts master of new parts

Creation and confirmation of sales invoices to Dealers on the basis of purchase invoices received

It should be noted that several sales invoices can be generated from one purchase invoice

Those sales invoices that include new parts will not be confirmed, they will remain in initial status until the user checks the part data (description, price, sales discount group, purchase discount group, transactional object, etc.)

Internal association between purchase invoices and sales invoices

Sending sales invoices to FusionR to obtain the FusionR invoice number

Generation of the Concess File, as many files are generated as sales invoices to Dealers have been issued, in these files the FusionR invoice number is included.

Sending the Concess Files to the corresponding Dealers

Generation of the automatic email informing the Importer that the files have been sent to the Dealers

All the above steps are fully automatic, so there is no user interaction.

Each of these steps is monitored to detect any errors that may occur. Some of the errors that are monitored are:

Purchase Invoices:

New non-existing part numbers in the part master

Conversion of orders with non-existing order lines into lines without orders

Conversion of non-existing orders into lines without orders

Sales Invoices:

Selling price at 0

Sales price lower than purchase price

From SIMA's point of view, the information that the user can view is the following:

Purchase invoices: located on the path [Parts Module -> Purchases Tab -> Invoices Section -> Supplier Option]

Sales invoices: located on the path [Parts Module -> Sales Tab -> Invoices Section -> Customer Option]

Invoicing events to FusionR: located on the path [Administration Module -> Administrative Tools Tab -> Administrative Tools Section -> Delivery historic Option]
