Miro Announces AuRA™ 2007

La Jolla, CA, USA – December 1, 2007

Miro Technologies® announced today the planned release of AuRA™ 2007, which incorporates over 225 modifications and represents over 4,300 labor-hours of development. The latest AuRA release includes over 50 functionality-related enhancements; all enhancements and modifications are available to the growing list of AuRA customers worldwide. AuRA 2007 will be delivered and installed at customer sites in a phased approach commencing in December.

Highlights of the most significant enhancements incorporated into AuRA 2007 include:

Out of Service/Return to Service transaction –AuRA now features a new transaction to manage the lockdown of aircraft information. This new transaction allows customers to place an aircraft "Out Of Service", resulting in all records associated to the subject aircraft becoming either invisible or inquiry-only. Additionally, a special security flag will be available to allow certain individuals full update access to such an aircraft. This functionality will also be available for serialized items/systems. A companion "Return To Service" transaction is also available to reverse the effects.
New SAP Interface –Miro has developed new interfaces to provide support for integration with the SAP purchasing module. The integration includes an outbound interface to send Purchase Order receipt information as well as an inbound interface to accept invoice information. This enhancement was developed on behalf of a request submitted by TNT Airways, but this interface can be made available to any customer as necessary.
PO Receiving Process enhancements - The Purchase Order Receiving process has been improved with the capability to perform a return of goods to the supplier. This new process addresses several aspects of the return process. The PO Receiving process was also enhanced to allow for the initial receipt of a part number which is not currently known to AuRA. The received item will be held in suspense until the part is recognized in the Parts Catalog or the Part Number is changed to one which already exists in the catalog.
Material Part Request desktop –This desktop has been enhanced to allow for the pre-reservation of items currently associated to a Repair Order. This process works in a similar way to the mechanism whereby pre-reservations can be made on due-in Purchase Orders.
Remove/Install History - The Remove/Install History Inquiry has been enhanced to provide improved visibility of the logically associated transaction for any given transaction. For example, while looking at a remove transaction, it automatically displays details of the transaction which installed a replacement into the same position. Conversely, when looking at an install transaction, it automatically displays details of the remove transaction which caused the subject position to be empty. A scrolling mechanism allows you to navigate back and forth through all transactions for the subject position.
Transaction History –Miro has also enhanced the Transaction History Inquiry with a customizable desktop allowing control of which fields display for each specific transaction code. Customers will have the ability to control the fields and labels configured for each TCN. Also, users will be able to establish search criteria profiles and default profiles. See the illustration below (extra details have been configured for the highlighted record, and are displayed in the bottom left pane).
Replenishment Server update - The Automatic Purchase Order capability of the Replenishment Server has been improved so that multiple Purchase Requisitions may be combined when creating Purchase Orders. A business rule allows for the control of the maximum number of lines for this type of Purchase Order.
New Multiple-line Part Requests desktop –Miro has introduced a new desktop to support the creation of multiple Part Requests simultaneously. This mechanism provides essentially a multiple-line Part Request. Also introduced with this enhancement, the Work Order Part Requests list now includes an "Order All" option.
Part Merge process - The Part Merge process has been enhanced with a new option to retain the old part number in the Parts Catalog but render the Part Number inactive. The status is shown on the Parts Catalog desktop and special security is required in order to alter/re-activate an inactive Part.
