MinValue, MaxValue, MinObject, MaxObject, MinObjectIF, and MaxObjectIF were added to the internal functions. MinValue and MaxValue return the smaller and larger value of two values, respectively. This enables a relation such as "the later of the due date or scheduling basis time" in the following manner.   If MaxValue is not used :     IF(ME.LET<PROJECT.BasisTime,ME.LET,PROJECT.BasisTime)   If MaxValue is used :     MaxValue(ME.LET,PROJECT.BasisTime) MinObject, MaxObject, MinObjectIF, and MaxObjectIF return an object. This enables, for example, to […]

When scheduling parameters and styles are exported to XML, user registered expressions of dispatching key and sort key are now also exported. This enables the dispatching key or sort key to be displayed or selected by user registered expression names when the XML file is imported in another project. Previously, user registered expressions were not included in the XML file, and therefore raw expressions were displayed in the project that imported it. […]

When a row that has been drilled down on a table is closed from the popup menu and the selected row is not expanded, the parent row is closed. This makes it easy to find the parent row when there are many rows. As shown in the following example, if there were many assignment messages, it was a hassle even to check the scheduling parameter name that the relevant operation was assigned […]

When time period grouping is performed, it is now possible to specify whether input instructions are pegged to output instructions in future lot sizing period with the [Peg to output instructions in future lot sizing period] property in the Item table. This is the result of "Peg to output instructions in future lot sizing period" property set to "Not pegged".  Pegging that would reverse the temporal relationship does not occur. This is the […]

The response to the following is faster for when the amount of data exceeds 100 thousand operations. – Redrawing the window – Starting a window – Selecting a cell on a spreadsheet – Displaying menus and tool buttons – Starting an expression dialog box – Broadcast processing when an XML file is exported, imported, or the like [Example 1] When a table contained several million rows, the updating of the tool button […]

When Explode orders commands are executed several times in the same Scheduling parameter, the execution speed of the second and later commands is now faster. The greater the number of items and Integrated Masters, the greater the effect. The speed does not depend on the number of orders or operations.  This is effective when a loop command is used to explode orders for each low level code. [Example] With data containing about 100,000 […]
