Primac® General Enhancement Release 12a

October 10, 2004 - Dallas, TX - Primac® Systems announces Primac® Release 12a, which adds significant enhancements to modules in the Primac® Business and Production Management System. All of these enhancements are the direct result of committees and roundtables conducted by the Primac® User Group, an independent organization managed by the Primac® user group community.

Some of significant new features include:

1. A number of Job Scheduling enhancements to improve the range of views availability, user specific defaults, and allowance of more colors to denote different types of jobs and projects; enhanced ability to schedule vacations and maintenance projects.
2. Shop Floor Information System - added validation of stock being used on a job against the stock ID planned for the job and validation of job status when employees try to enter transactions against a closed job.
3. Estimating - allow different quantities for different components; allow quantity in billions, several new reports.
4. Inventory - Allow auto-posting of inventory transactions by transaction type, making barcode tracked inventory transactions real-time; simplified and easier inventory adjustment transaction entry.
5. Inventory - expand the functionality for bar-coding and subsequent scanned barcode tracking of paper stock items to any raw material item.
6. General Ledger - Expanded drill down views into GL accounts, starting at company level and drilling down to division, department and cost center.
7. JDF interfaces to printing plant equipment, based on the NGP implementation of CIP4 standards. The JDF Messaging Center is complete, as is testing of the interface to pre-press systems.
8. The final project is a completely new JDF/XML compliant job ticket. This is being developed in our off-shore development center.
