Tekla Connector Quick Guide

The Tekla Connector Quick Guide has been published.

It provides the steps in both Tekla PowerFab and Tekla Structures to get started with the integration workflow.

See Tekla Connector.

Send purchase orders to Vista and Spectrum

You can now validate and send a batch of purchase orders to Vista or Spectrum from the main purchase order dialog.

The validation process involves checking if items in the purchase order have a cost code and cost type, and if the purchase order has a designated company code.

To synchronize the export status and messages automatically, you can add the Trimble Viewpoint Job Costing Export event in Automated Events.

To view the sync status and messages, you need to add the Sync Status and Sync Message columns to the Select Requisition/Purchase Order dialog.

See the following: Export purchase orders to Trimble Viewpoint.

Start Date on a work package to reflect Scheduled Date

The manually entered start date for a work package acts as an initial planned date.

When you schedule a work package through the Production Planner in Tekla PowerFab Go, the Start Date set on the work package is updated to reflect the scheduled date.

Improvements in Tekla PowerFab Go Work Packages

The work package view in Tekla PowerFab Go has been further developed to enhance the use of the new planning functionality. (EPM-9538)

There is a new department view in Tekla PowerFab Go Work Packages in Tekla PowerFab Go and in the embedded view in the Tekla PowerFab desktop app to give shop floor workers a clear, prioritized list of work packages that they should be working on in their department and location (workshop or work area).

You can select either the department view or the overview.

EPM-9677, EPM-9674

The work package details view in Tekla PowerFab Go now contains the schedule breakdown.

EPM-9707

A progress bar has been added to show the work package completion status.

Job No. and Work Package # columns have the same color as the work package tiles on the Production Planner.

A Total Hours column has been added.

Split a work package in Production Planner

If you are exceeding the capacity, you can split a work package to a different work area or week in the department planner view Tekla PowerFab Go Production Planner.

This feature addresses the challenge of long-duration assemblies, ensuring accurate resource allocation and improved project planning for complex fabrication processes.

See Split a work package in Production planning in Tekla PowerFab Go (Preview).

修正

缺陷数	开发领域	描述
EPM-9727	Estimating	Previously, in Estimating, once a recipient had been added, the firm type could not be changed to select a different type of recipient. This issue has now been fixed.
EPM-9798	Estimating	Previously, when using a historic pricing date for the data in Estimating, it was possible that pricing changes made after that date were shown. This issue has now been fixed.

EPM-9782	Production control	Previously, in Maintenance > Production Control > Fabrication Maintenance > Department Maintenance, a blank error occurred when attempting to use the Apply to Schedule option. This issue has now been fixed.
EPM-9603	Integrations	Previously, when importing inventory from an HTML file, not all fields were mapped as specified. This issue has now been corrected.
EPM-9665	Integrations	When PowerFab has been configured to integrate with Viewpoint Vista or Spectrum, then an "Export to Viewpoint" button now appears on the top of the main Purchase Order dialog. When clicked, this option validates that cost codes have been assigned to all material and subcontract items, locks the PO, and performs the export. See Export purchase orders to Trimble Viewpoint.
EPM-9667	Integrations	When selecting purchase orders to export to Viewpoint Vista or Spectrum they are now validated before being exported to ensure that cost codes are applied to all material and subcontract items. See Export purchase orders to Trimble Viewpoint.

Now material that is wider or longer can be selected as long as the Allow manual alteration of external nest remnant option is enabled in Production Control Company Standards. See Define company standard settings for Production Control.
