2. About This Release

The 2016.4 release includes substantive changes to improve the MacromatiX user experience. A few of the release highlights for the MacromatiX Management System (MMS) and MxConnect (MxC) are detailed below.

 

2.1 MacromatiX Management System – Highlights

MacromatiX is a cloud-based operating system that provides operational efficiency, cost controls and real-time visibility into restaurant operations that keep the manager in front of customers and focused on their experience, rather than stuck in the back office staring at spreadsheets. Get instant insight into inventory and financials with in-depth, down-to-the item reporting. Gain access to sales data, gross profit, cost of goods sold, loss prevention and exception management with the ability to report down the item level at individual stores. With Macromatix, food is fresher, waste is reduced, and gross profits are increased.

 

Enhancements to the MacromatiX Management System (MMS) modules this release included:

  • Cash management functionality enhanced in the Aloha POS Interface.
  • Modifying Costing Logic for Efficiency Report
  • Ability to prevent store managers from making changes to an employee’s pay/rate
  • The Ability to Delete ‘Item Groups’
  • Scheduled Order Screen to display scheduled cut off time and next delivery date
  • Suggested Order Evaluator metrics

 

Aloha

Aloha POS development has been completed to cater to the following functions:

  • Cashier Opens and Closes to come from the POS
  • Refunds and the ability to report on refunds by refund type
  • Provide the Cashier Name
  • Rounding to come from the POS
  • Provide the Starting Float amount
  • Account for Drawer
  • Allow for ‘No Sale’ tracking

 

Modifying Costing Logic for Efficiency Report

The Efficiency Report has been enhanced to properly account for cost changes and the store's costing method when calculating inventory values. This has been implemented so that the beginning inventory value for a period matches the ending inventory value for the previous period. This ensures that the activity is accurate to the actual prices applied during each receive/transfer.

 

A new parameter option "Include Only Counted Items" (Checkbox) is now available. When the report is generated, only items that were present in either the Beginning or the Ending count are included.

            

If the option is unchecked, then when the report is generated, all items with any activity during the selected date range are included. Items not counted are identified with an asterisk (*).

 

The "Cost" column displayed for each item includes two values:

  • Beginning Cost (Cost of the item as of the apply date of the Beginning Count)
  • Ending Cost (Cost of the item as of the apply date of the Ending Count)
  • The "Missing $" column is no longer included in the report.

 

 

Ability to Change Employees Pay Rate

The Security Permission - “Employees - Can Edit Employee Job /Pay Details” allows users to Edit hourly and salaried pay details on the Employees page:

  • When turned off it restricts the following functions on the System Employees page (MMS_system_employees.aspx), Job Tab:
    • Restricts Pay selector (i.e. how employee can be Paid)
    • Restricts edits to employee Base Hours input box
    • When adding a new job record, user is not allowed to enter a Pay Rate (the pay rate overrides the Effective pay rate)
    • Pay rate by default is blank when a new job is added
    • When editing a job record, the use is not allowed to make changes to Pay Rate (this field should be disabled)
    • When editing a job record, the user is able to set whether the job is the user's primary job (if more than one job record exists for the user)

 

The security permission setting prevents unauthorized users from making changes to an employee’s pay/rate.

              

Ability to Delete Item Groups

The ability to delete Item Groups has been added. Item Groups can be removed from the admin page (MMS_Admin_Group.aspx) as long as an Inventory Item Group is not assigned with any items.

 

If all conditions are met, a success message is displayed. Warning messages are displayed if there are associated:

  • Inventory Items
  • Inventory Account Mappings
  • Inventory Sub Groups

 

              

Scheduled Orders – Cut off Time and Next Delivery Date

The Scheduled Orders page has been enhanced. The ability to show order 'Cut Off Time' and 'Next Delivery Date' on the Schedule Orders Page against each order has been added. (MMS_Stores_ScheduledOrders.aspx).

Two existing configuration settings are employed in order to display the new fields:

  • ‘Enable scheduled purchasing cutoff notification’
  • ‘Show deliveries on scheduled orders page’

 

The source of Next Delivery Date is the next scheduled order date for that vendor.

 

2.2  MxConnect – Highlights

MxConnect is designed for use on a mobile device to facilitate constant access to real time data for forecasting, inventory counts, ordering, transfers, waste, and labor.

2016.4 MxConnect changes include enhancements to existing functionality as well as new modules to improve accountability. Enhancements include:

  • Lock/Unlock Feature added to Mobile
  • Suggested Order Evaluator

 

Lock/Unlock Feature Added to Mobile

The Period Close functionality has been extended to the MX Connect mobile platform for inventory related functions. Tasks can be scheduled to run and close the period at a consistent time every month.

 

The Mobile pages that can be locked are:

  • Inventory Count - Mobile
    • Daily Count
    • Weekly Count
    • Periodic Count
  • Orders - Mobile
    • Place
    • Receive
    • Return
  • Waste - Mobile
    • Record
  • Transfers - Mobile
    • Record
    • Open Transfers
    • History

 

This bridges the gap on Period Close functionality between MMS and MX Connect. Five new security permissions have been added to the Mobile section of MMS_Admin_RoleSecurity.aspx:

  • Inventory Count - Can edit closed periods
  • Orders - Can edit closed periods
  • Receiving/Returns - Can edit closed periods
  • Transfers - Can edit closed periods
  • Waste - Can edit closed periods

 

Suggested Order Evaluator

Mx now stores data for recent orders.  The suggested order suggests what the manager feels is needed. This is due to events that may be known to the manager and not yet reflected in the forecast or lack of confidence. A new table stores item-specific attributes used to calculate the suggested order quantity of each item, for every order. Each time an order is placed, attributes are stored to the table.

 

The columns in the tbOrderEval table include (but are not limited to) the following:

  • TransactionSupplyOrderDetailID (to link to tbTransactionSupplyOrderDetail)
  • Forecast Quantity
  • On Hand Quantity
  • On Order Quantity
  • Safety Stock Quantity

 

Each time an order is created, the columns above are populated for each item in the order. The data is exposed to the RDS and Cube for reporting purposes. Order data is stored in the table for 90 days.

 

2.3 Reporting Data Store (RDS) – Highlights

The MacromatiX solution is a prolific collector of operational data. The Reporting Data Store (RDS) has been conceived in order to give users ownership and access to their own data. Users will have the ability to design and build their own reports and interrogate the database at will. Progress, for the feature, continues.  The following fields have been added to the Reporting Data Store:

         

RDS RedShift: Three new fields will be added to the table "TransactionSale":

  • AdditionalInfo1
  • AdditionalInfo2
  • AdditionalInfo3 (MX-23145)

 

RDS SQL & RedShift: A change has been made to the RDS so that 'Draft' transfers are removed from the RDS if they are removed in MMS. i.e. Transfers which are in a status of 'Open' where line items have been added to the transfer and then removed before the transfer is submitted.   (MX-22855)

 

RDS Redshift: Some fields and tables in the RDS have been updated to have consistent naming across the system -

  • Column customerbenefit.entityid to storeid
  • Column customerbenefit.redeemedtransactionsummaryid to redeemedtransactionsaleid
  • Column customerbenefit.redeemedentityid to redeemedstoreid
  • Column customerbenefitevent.transactionsummaryid to transactionsaleid

  • Column newloyaltyschemecustomerbalance.transactionsummaryid to transactionsaleid
  • Column newloyaltyschemecustomerbalance.entityid to storeid
  • Column rewardscustomercards.entityid to storeid
  • Column saleitemcombo.salesitemcomboid to saleitemcomboid
  • Table salescategory to salecategory
  • Column salecategory.salescategoryid to salecategoryid
  • Column salecategory.salescategory to salecategory
  • Column salecategory.salesitemdeptid to saleitemdeptid
  • Table salesitemdept to saleitemdept
  • Column saleitemdept.salesitemdeptid to saleitemdeptid
  • Column saleitemdept.salesitemdept to saleitemdept
  • Table salesitemgroup to saleitemgroup
  • Column saleitemgroup.salesitemgroup to saleitemgroup
  • Column saleitemgroup.salesitemgroupid to saleitemgroupid
  • Column transactionnewloyalty.transactionsummaryid to transactionsaleid
  • Column vendorstoreinventoryitem.vendorentityitemid to vendorstoreinventoryitemid (MX-25098)

 

Reporting Data Store (RDS) Issues that were addressed during this release are:

  • A fix was applied. The RDS incremental ETL failed due to a carriage return symbol. Now comments containing carriage return symbols will not cause ETL failures. (MX-23776)

  • A fix has been applied wherein the pop-up message provided when attempting to delete a Zone from the Zone Manager page was confusing users regarding its function. The text has been updated and the number of member stores in the zone to be deleted is now being displayed along with the new text.

  • A fix was applied wherein scheduling a "Forecast Adjustment from Past Occurrences" event in MxConnect adjusted the Sales Forecast, but not the Sales Item Forecast. The Sales Item quantity will now be adjusted when a forecast event is scheduled from "Previous Occurrences" in MxConnect. (MX-24064)
  • A minor fix was applied to the MxConnect dashboard in order to make it more robust. (MX-24694)
  • Adjustments made in the MxConnect Forecasting Sales Item grid will now be saved when the store does not have any sales within the forecast history date range. For example, if the store had been closed for remodeling the last six weeks and there are no sales transactions, the sales item forecast can still be updated. (MX-23192)

 

Inventory Count – All Modules:

  • A fix has been applied within the Finish Now modal pop-up that activates when finishing a Mobile Stock Count. The variance values displayed were in some cases the number of count locations rather than the number of items counted. Now the modal pop-up variance indicators indicate the following: Items with counts that result in a large variance: Value: = count of items whose value variance exceeds threshold. Items with a large positive variance: Value: = count of items whose value variance exceeds threshold in a positive direction. Items with a large negative variance: Value: = count of items whose value variance exceeds threshold in a negative direction. (MX-24202)
  • The receive date of a transfer in MxConnect will now be the date the transfer is received by the Transfer in store in that store's local time. The transfer will now be included in the Actual Vs Theoretical Report, Inventory Count to Count Report and the Inventory Efficiency Report when the transfer receive date falls between the count date range selected in the report. (MX-24600)
  • When the variance percent of an item is greater than 5%, the variance will be displayed in red in the Review Count screen in MxConnect. If the item has on hand and a 0 value is entered in the count, a variance is created and will be displayed in red. If the item is counted but does not currently have any on hand value, there will be a variance and will be displayed in red. (MX-23613)

 

Inventory Ordering – All Modules:

  • Previously, the Previous Orders section of the Order Details page in MxConnect was using the inventory item to locate previous orders. However, when there are multiple supplier items from the same supplier linked to the same inventory item the previous order quantity was not correct. A change was made to use the vendor item id instead so the previous order Date and Quantity would be displayed per vendor item. (MX-23033)

 

Labor – All Modules:

  • None
