Elevate Your Print Business: Unleash Next-Level Management with PrintVis 26’s Game-Changing Features!

PrintVis, a leading business management platform tailored for the print industry, has introduced a significant update with its latest version, PrintVis 26. This release emphasizes flexibility, automation, and efficiency, further solidifying its position as the go-to ERP solution for printing companies. Tightly integrated with Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, PrintVis continues to offer robust tools for managing all aspects of a printing business. Below is a detailed overview of the key updates and enhancements in this release.

Core Feature Highlights

1. Spine Calculation Updates
   New and more flexible spine calculation options have been added to better accommodate diverse cover designs and binding types, ensuring greater precision and adaptability.

2. Create Multiple Order Lines at Once
   Users can now convert multiple quote lines into order lines in a single step. By selecting the desired quote lines, the system automatically generates the corresponding order lines, eliminating manual data entry and streamlining the process.

3. Box Selection Calculation Formula
   A smart formula has been introduced to intelligently calculate box requirements. By evaluating product dimensions (length, width, height) and available box sizes, the system determines the optimal box type and quantity needed, enhancing efficiency in packaging.

4. Microsoft 365 Security Groups Integration
   PrintVis now allows users to define licensed user types and template users based on Microsoft 365 security groups. A dedicated PrintVis User Wizard in Business Central automatically creates, updates, or removes users based on these groups, simplifying user management.

5. SharePoint App Registration Connector
   For enhanced security, users can now connect to SharePoint using their own registered app. This connector can be enabled or disabled as needed, providing greater control over data access.

6. ECO3 Integration Update: Left Trim Support for Flat Products
   For users with ECO3 integration, PrintVis 26 introduces compatibility for flat products, enabling necessary trimming features. This update ensures seamless functionality for specific workflows.

Advanced Scheduling & Planning Enhancements

PrintVis 26 introduces several advanced features to improve scheduling and planning:

1. Split and Merge Enhancements

   • Merge Split with Move: Automatically merges a split during a move and re-splits after dropping.
   • Split on Opening Hours Only: Allows overlaps with other planning units, considering only opening hours for splits.

2. Calculation Unit Detail for Rulesets
   A new Process Group field has been added. When populated, the system automatically assigns the process group to the calculation unit on the estimating page, reducing manual effort.

3. Increment Planning Priority
   Schedulers can now set planning priority increments (e.g., 5 or 10) instead of just 1, providing greater flexibility when adjusting priorities before auto-scheduling.

4. Auto-Scheduling Options

   • Skip Ruleset Priority Assignment: Offers a new auto-schedule group option.
   • Schedule from Priorities: Uses existing priority values for automated scheduling based on predefined groups.
   • Single Unit Production Plan Page: A new view for managing individual production units.
   • Capacity Blocking / Placeholders: Now visible directly from the production plan page.

5. Placeholder Enhancement Boosts

   • Additional Placeholder Settings: Customer group and product group can now be used to assign placeholders for scheduling.
   • Placeholder Comments: Added a comment field available on scheduling pages and the planning board.
   • Placeholder Analysis Page: Provides key metrics such as total, used, and free hours, along with associated order numbers.

6. Tool Fields on Production Plan Page
   Tool codes associated with specific jobs are now visible on the production plan page, improving transparency and tracking.

7. Manual Sheet Assignment to Milestones
   Users can manually assign a sheet to a milestone directly on the milestone page, complementing the existing auto-assignment functionality.

Planning Improvements

1. Adjust Plan with Actual Data
   Schedules are automatically updated when shop floor progress is recorded or marked complete, ensuring real-time accuracy.

2. Planning Status Options
   New job-level options (Can Be Planned / Milestones Only / Wait) are available and can be set by default per product group level, offering greater control over planning processes.

3. Planning Process Flow Diagram
   The process flow diagram now includes milestones and other elements, providing a clearer view of scheduling and estimation flows from different access points.

Simplified Sales Order Integration

PrintVis 26 introduces a streamlined link between Business Central sales documents and PrintVis production orders. This feature allows teams to trigger case creation only for custom items, offering a more flexible approach to job initiation and reducing unnecessary steps.

PrintVis 26 represents a significant step forward in addressing the evolving needs of the print industry. With its focus on automation, flexibility, and efficiency, this update enhances key areas such as scheduling, planning, and user management.
