Before commencing with an update to the latest release:

  This will ensure that you have enough disk space available for the database updates when they occur.

• Ensure to uninstall any Diagnostic Hotfixes before attempting to update your release of Syspro 8.

• As time progresses, certain products may become retired as they are replaced by newer capabilities. Therefore, if you have an installed product that has been retired in the latest release, the application will prompt you to uninstall the retired product before proceeding with the update.

  Once you have successfully uninstalled the retired product, you can proceed with updating to the latest release.

1. Run the Syspro Installer Application on the SYSPRO Application server.

2. Once connected to the Syspro Deployment Service, enter your Syspro Online Profile login credentials (and customer code if applicable). Ensure that you use the correct credentials as subsequent notifications rely on this information.

   If you can't obtain the OTP, then you can use your InfoZone password.

3. From the home screen select the SYSPRO ERP Software option.

4. Identify the deployment group you want to update and select the Update button. This creates a text file (SYSPRO_Deployment_Release_Update.txt) in the same folder where the service is installed, providing details about the machines belonging to the group, as well as the software installed on each of those machines. Software updates must be applied to all machines in a group to complete the process otherwise the deployment group remains listed as Update in progress.

We added governed hierarchy and identifier fields to the ArCustomer table to create a centralized backbone for analytics and integration. Sales, finance, and partner teams can now work from a consistent view of who the customer is and who they roll up to, enabling confident pricing, credit, investment, and commissions.

The following fields were added to the ArCustomer table:

• DefaultContainer - VarChar(20)

• CorporateParentID - Customer

• PartnerID - Customer

• BrokerID - VarChar(50)

• SalesManager - VarChar(50)

• ShipToDUNS - VarChar(11) Mask 99-999-9999

• BillToDUNS - VarChar(11) Mask 99-999-9999

• Facility - VarChar(50)

• BillingID - VarChar(50)

• StoreNumber - VarChar(30)

• CustomerRefID - VarChar(50)

The new container inventory table (WhmContainerInv) defines how stock codes relate to the container types they are stored in to determine the quantity and packing configuration for a stock code. This was done to accommodate the Container-Based Contract Selling Rules enhancement that will be made available in a subsequent release.

The WhmContainerInv table structure allows the user to set container definitions at stock code level to enforce order quantities through contracts. This ensures sales orders can only be raised in multiples of certain quantities, which reduces packing errors and aligns order fulfillment.

We added the Revalue when maintaining setup option (Setup Options > Preferences > Distribution > Purchase Orders that centrally controls the revaluation of purchase orders using foreign currencies.

When the Revalue when maintaining setup option is enabled, purchase orders are revalued when the exchange rate is updated.

We updated electronic signatures for Bill of Materials change operations to ensure triggers execute and both header and detail logging is captured.

We updated the following eSignatures:

BOM Change operation

Controls access to the Change function for Operations in the Structures and Routings program.

BOM Change operation e.net

Controls access to the maintenance of operations in the BOM Routing Maintenance Business object: BOMSRO business object.

We enhanced eSignatures within the Lot Traceability module that control changes to lot expiry dates. This secures the secures Lot Number Maintenance program and ensures that only authorized users can modify lot expiry dates while maintaining a full audit trail.

We updated the following eSignatures:

Lot number changed

Controls access to the maintenance of lots in the following programs:

• Browse on Lots
• Lot Number Maintenance

Lot Maintenance update operation e.net

Controls access to the update of operations in the Lot Maintenance Business object: INVSLT business object.

We optimized SQL in Transfer BOM Costs to Warehouse Costs to accelerate cost updates and lower load as data grows. This enhancement improves execution efficiency through targeted SQL optimization techniques. The goal is to reduce processing time, lower system load, and ensure consistent performance as data volumes grow.

We have improved how the Transfer BOM Costs to Warehouse Costs program interacts with the database to ensure queries run faster and it uses fewer system resources.
