Main Menu
The main menu essentially refers to the business functions of the respective modules.
The Sales Manager, Production and Warehouse Management are mainly intended for warehouses or production modules, but these can also be enabled in the shipping module if the process requires it.
The dispatch scheduling, shipment management and transport management are primarily intended for the shipping and transport module. However, it depends on the specific module which functions are present within these business functions.
The device monitor is intended exclusively for the transport module.
Clearing is only available for the clearing module.
The reporting system refers to an instance of the Microsoft Reporting Server. Standard reports are included in some modules. If you need customer-specific reports, it is possible to have them created, but the purchase of the reporting license is necessary for this.
Tip
New since version 24.1.0.8 Integration of Microsoft Power BI!
See also Reporting with Microsoft Power BI.
Administration and system configuration are parts of the basic module and are therefore available for every system. However, the range of functions behind these buttons varies depending on the system. In particular, the System Configuration section contains some functions that require very extensive permissions and are usually accessible to very few people.
The dashboard is also included in the basic module and is used to provide a quick overview of the daily business.
Note
you'll only see the actions you're eligible for. If you can't find an action, contact your administrator!
