■The display language of menus and the like can now be obtained at any time from the Asprova’s download server.

The display language of menus and the like can now be obtained at any time from the Asprova’s download server.
This makes it easy to construct multilingual environments.

Language changes

Further, even if an older version of a language is in use due to delays in translation, using this feature will display untranslated sections in English, eliminating the risk of the program crashing, which was a possibility in the past.

■MinValue, MaxValue, MinObject, MaxObject, MinObjectIF, and MaxObjectIF were added to the internal functions.

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 obtain the order whose start time is the earliest among rightmost orders.
    MinObject(ME.Rightmost orders,TARGET.Start time)

■When scheduling parameters and styles are exported to XML, user registered expressions of dispatching key and sort key are now also exported.

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.

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 to, but now this is easy using the close command.

■It is now possible to specify whether input instructions are pegged to output instructions in future lot sizing period.

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 result of “Peg to output instructions in future lot sizing period” property set to “Pegged”.  Pegging whose temporal relationship has been reversed occurs, but surplus inventory is reduced.

■The response to the following is faster for when the amount of data exceeds 100 thousand operations.

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 a row or the whole table was selected took anywhere from several minutes to several hours, but this has been resolved.
[Example 2]
When the total number of messages was greater than several million and a new message was added, it took no less than 1 minute to update the display, but now it takes only a few seconds.
