Where teams struggle:

• Limited visibility into production performance
• Delayed or inconsistent reporting
• Difficulty tracking scrap and efficiency
• Data spread across systems

Quick insight
When production and scrap data are visible in real time, teams can identify issues earlier and take action before they impact performance.

Real-World Example
Manufacturers using NextTrack Insights are improving visibility, reducing delays, and driving performance across production.

Inventory discrepancies are often identified, but not fully understood. Without clear visibility into where and why variances occur, teams are left reacting instead of improving processes.

What this solves

The Cycle Counting Variances session (whinh8352m000) provides a visual way to analyze inventory discrepancies, helping teams identify patterns and root causes across warehouses and counting activities.

How it works

This session displays interactive bar charts that show:

• Cycle counting variances by warehouse (default view)
• Cycle counting variances by reason (drill-down view)

Users can:

• Hover over bars to view variance details
• Click into a warehouse to analyze variance reasons
• Zoom and filter chart views for deeper analysis

Chart settings can be adjusted using the Cycle Counting Variances – Chart Settings session (whinh0901m500).

Variance values are calculated based on the valuation method defined in Inventory Revaluation Transactions (whina1522m000).

Key benefits

• Visual insight into where variances are occurring
• Root cause analysis by warehouse and reason
• Improved inventory control through better understanding of discrepancies
• Faster decision-making with interactive data views

Practical insight

Identifying a variance is only the first step. Understanding patterns—such as recurring issues by warehouse or reason—is what enables teams to reduce discrepancies over time.

When combined with NextTrack Insights dashboards, this data can be extended to:

• Track variance trends over time
• Highlight recurring problem areas
• Provide real-time visibility beyond standard sessions

Getting started

The Cycle Counting Variances session can be accessed from the menu or your Role-Based Home Page. Crossroads RMC can help you extend this visibility with dashboards that bring together inventory, variance, and operational data into a single, actionable view.

In MRP inquiries, limited visibility and paging behavior can make it difficult to review data efficiently—especially when working with larger datasets or modern web interfaces.

What this solves

This enhancement enables full compatibility between MRP320D Master Schedule Detail Inquiry and the WebTop Grid, allowing users to view and work with complete datasets more effectively.

How it works

The subfile in MRP320D (SCR001) has been modified so that data is expanded and retained as users page through results, rather than being cleared.

This allows the WebTop 4.8 Grid decorator to function properly and display data in a more usable format.

Key benefit

• Improved visibility into MRP data within WebTop

• Better usability when reviewing larger datasets

• Compatibility with modern grid functionality

Implementation

Apply MR 81428 to enable this enhancement.

Important note

This change does not alter program functionality or user workflows. It improves how data is displayed and accessed within the WebTop Grid environment.

Many organizations find manual tax processes difficult to manage and scale. Automation can simplify compliance, improve accuracy, and reduce the risk of costly penalties.

When Compliance Gets Complicated

Changes such as the following often create new tax requirements:

• Upgrading or changing ERP systems
• Mergers or acquisitions requiring system integration
• Adding locations or warehouses
• Expanding into e-commerce
• Managing remote employees
• Selling at trade shows across multiple states

Businesses may also struggle with large transaction volumes, exempt products or customers, audit exposure, and tax obligations in complicated states.

The audit functionality is based on the concept of audit profiles. In an audit profile, you define which tables and fields are audited and when, in the context of an audit profile. To bundle profiles in the same functional area, you can relate the profiles to audit categories. You can export and import audit profiles with various options to enable a quick configuration. The audit trail is stored in sequence files, which are generated for each combination of company and table.

Note: For some important parameter tables it is required that auditing is enabled.

You can view or print the history of modifications.

• Production Settings by Site (timfc0180m000) > Production Order tab

With regard to as-built handling, because JobControl acts as a reporting tool similar to the Machine Work List (tisfc4600m000) session, we recommend these settings in the Production Order Parameters (tisfc0100s000) session (Miscellaneous tab) and Production Settings by Site (timfc0180m000) session (Production Order tab):

• In the Serials section, set the Generate Serial Numbers parameter to On Printing Documents or On Release as the serial number that can be selected in JobControl to report completed or rejected products must have the Valid status in LN.
• In the Serials section, we recommend setting the As-Built Status Handling parameter to Manual as the serial number assignment is performed in JobControl.
