GOLD Version 2006 Enhancements
Improved data exchange with external purchasing systems
The GOLD™ Purchase Order API for IF10053, IF10054 and IFO0052 was expanded to include a new series of tables
designed to pass additional data between GOLD and an external Purchasing System. The inbound CAP Order
Create API can now trigger GOLD’s outbound CAP Order API to provide positive confirmation that the
order was received and created.
Asset-related transactions now optimized
Two modifications were implemented on the Transaction API (IFI0064) to enhance its overall usefulness. The
first modification involves the addition of four new Asset related transactions (LNOA, LNOG, WPIG, WLOG).
The second modification adds Location and Sub-Location updates to reserved ITEM records.
Enhanced Replenishment Report enables improved handling of CAP Orders
The GOLD Replenishment Report has been greatly enhanced with new processes and more criteria options to
support creation and management of CAP (Contractor Acquired Property) Orders.
A new process allows defining default values that the report can use when automatically creating CAP
Orders. These values are then included with the CAP Orders when they are sent to an external PO system.
- The External Purchase Order Matrix (EPOM) table is available for the user to populate default
sets of core data that may be needed by an external purchasing system.
- The user can populate the External Purchase Order Report (EPOR) table records by selecting a
pre-defined set of values from the EPOM table. The EPOR table then provides multiple sets of
default records including variations for different Segregation Codes.
- When creating a CAP Order, the Replenishment Report can populate the CAP Order’s External
Purchase Order data table (EPO1) based on a specific set of default values from the EPOR table.
- The report can launch the Outbound CAP Order API, IFO0052, if this instance is configured to use
it. The CAP Order is then sent to the external PO system with the additional data from the EPO1
table.
Parts selected for evaluation can be filtered by SMRC codes and IMS Designator Codes.
Creation of CAP Orders can be limited to a maximum unit cost and a maximum extended cost as defined in
the report’s control file.
The control file provides a values that can be populated into the user ref1, user ref3 and Ship To Vendor
fields of each CAP Order created.
The report is able to consider ISGP alternates when determining if a CAP Order should be created.
Password Security upgraded to better support Sarbanes-Oxley
The existing GOLD password security has been modified to better support Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) Act of 2002
security requirements. This includes enforcing a mandatory password length and inclusion of mixed case,
alphanumeric, and special character contents. It also locks users after a specified number of failed logon
attempts, limits repeat passwords and allows defining unacceptable passwords.
MILS Requisitioner modified to process additional documents and formats
We have changed the Requisitioner MILS business rules to permit processing AB1 documents, thus allowing
updating the estimated shipping dates on MILS orders (instead of sending the AB1 documents to MILS
Suspense).
Also, the R13M Report has been changed to handle variable length formats for the internal file extract.
Variable length segment headers to indicate the maximum length transaction in the file are not required
for the internal file.
Receipt transactions improved with new Item barcode printer label
We created a new barcode printer label to print Item detail information on the Intermec 3400 barcode
label printer. This label will be used when performing receipt transactions, such as planned and
unplanned receipts, including receipts to suspense. Reprinting this label is also possible via the
GOLD Item Details screen.
The purpose of the ITM2 label is to provide a Unit Container label. The quantity displayed on the label
is adjustable as part of the printing process. When executing this print job from the Print Form
Selection screen, LMFORM_M, the user will have the ability to determine how many labels are produced
and what combination of quantity values are printed on each of those labels. The quantity values from
the various labels must sum to match the quantity on the ITEM record in the transaction.
Various ICP MILS Enhancements include:
- AF Readiness Based Levels for Consumable Items
- Provide Management Review Options for DRA/DRB Transactions
- Provide New MIL Edit for SAT Transactions
- Routing By Material Management Aggregation Code Modification
- Revised Military Shipping Label (MSL) with 2D Barcode
- Automatic Direct Shipment from Repair Vendors
