Info

This would have to work off the Strength ABV fields in the applications, as such we urge customers to start using this field correctly if not doing so already and to ensure that the field is set correctly for all historical records. Where this is not done, for any records without this set we may have to assume the highest permitted strength for their tax or commodity code in order to switch it over to the new rate.

On-the-day Updates

This script will be run for warehouses at a cut off given by Ontech on 31/07/2023

...

All warehouses have now been allocated and informed of the cut-off time for which all users must logged off Vision Warehousing and Bond to allow us to run scripts. You will be informed after approximately 90 minutes that you're able to log back in to your Vision applications but NO movements are to be processed including creating despatch movements, pick/confirm pick orders or process goods in or out movements until the following day.
