What's New in Version 8.04 2025 R1 Release
List View Implementation
As part of the M2M ERP modernization, the traditional Browse button has been removed and replaced with the new List View interface across all applicable screens—offering a more consistent, scalable, and user-friendly experience for data management.
List View enables users to search, sort, and filter records using a built-in Search panel and filtering tools, eliminating the need for the older browse mechanism. This provides better performance, usability, and alignment with current UI/UX standards.
- Default Behavior: Based on system configuration under Setup, some screens may now open in List View mode by default.
- Exception: The Planning & Scheduling (P&S) module currently does not support List View and will continue to use the legacy navigation system.
Progress Billing Enhancement
Users can now combine multiple Progress Billing line items with the same due date into a single invoice in Customer Invoice & Credit Memo (ARINV), streamlining milestone-based billing workflows.
Previously, only one line item could be invoiced at a time, resulting in repetitive manual steps. This update supports faster invoicing for orders involving multiple milestones due at the same time.
Navigation:
Copy → Normal Invoice → Progress Billing → Multiple
Enhancement – Receiving (RECV) Screen Integration with Inspection
As part of usability improvements, the Receiving (RECV) screen now includes direct links to Inspection Queue (INSP) and Receiving Inspection (RINS) under the More Actions → Related section.
- INSP opens directly without filters.
- RINS will automatically filter based on the active Receiver record.
- If no related RINS records exist, the RINS option will be disabled.
UI Enhancement – Preserve Row Highlighting on Hover in Queues
In the updated theme for Made2Manage 8.x, visual row highlights in screens like Shipping Queue (SCIFS) and Planned Purchase Queue (PLNPOQ) were previously obscured when the user hovered the mouse over a row, causing the row to appear light gray and masking the color-coded status indicators (e.g., short, credit issues).
With this update, row hover behavior has been adjusted to preserve the original highlight color, restoring the visual clarity present in earlier versions such as 7.51. This change improves user awareness during navigation and reduces the chance of accidental actions due to lost visual cues.
UI Enhancement – Redesigned Interaction Flow for SFMWC (Shop Floor Manager Work Center Console)
To improve usability in the Work Center Console (SFMWC) screen, the JO Details pane has been moved to the Actions column and can be opened by clicking the eye icon. This allows the job order grid to use the full screen width by default.
Additionally, user actions such as Clock On Job, Clock Off Job, Clock On Team, Clock Off Team, JO Complete, Issue Material, and Move To Inventory now open in popup dialogs, ensuring all fields and buttons are fully visible without requiring users to scroll.
Resolved Issues
The following issue has been fixed in this release:
| ID | Description |
|---|---|
| DEV-258372 | In M2M 8.0, the Job Order (JO) selection screen in Margin Analyzer becomes extremely slow and displays “page not responding” errors when working with large datasets (225,000+ records). The issue occurs during the selection and transfer of multiple JOs and is only reproducible in customer databases with high job volumes. Performance should now match that of previous versions. |
| DEV-262604 | In the Margin Analyzer module, users can save analyses but cannot view the name of the currently loaded analysis, leading to confusion. Additionally, there is no Save As option, and the Save function unnecessarily prompts for a file name each time, increasing the risk of overwriting existing work. |
| DEV-264295 | When copying a line item in a Sales Order (SO) that includes an NS make item with a fully detailed BOM, the screen becomes unresponsive and results in a “Request Timeout” error. Upon refreshing, the screen turns blank, displaying only the More Actions option. |
| DEV-270546 | In M2M 8.0, the Standard BOMs screen does not support column sorting and does not allow the “fbommemo” field to be added to the grid, even after updating INBOMS. |
| DEV-272429 | In M2M 8.0, RMAs remain in Ready for Credit status even after a credit memo is confirmed, instead of auto-closing. |
| DEV-273385 | In M2M SFDC, inventory transactions fail with the error “Cannot Post to a Closed or Non-Created GL Period” if the employee has an old BCEMP record. |
| DEV-273336 | In M2M 8.01, forms (e.g., PO, SO, JO, Quote) occasionally fail to retrieve browser timing info, leading to record mismatches and errors. |
| DEV-273634 | In M2M 8.03, creating Job Orders for the same Sales Order in multiple tabs can create a child job instead of a parent job. |
| DEV-274724 | In M2M 8.03, changing a PO status from “Open” to another state triggers an update conflict error. |
| DEV-276789 | In M2M 8.01 RFQ screen, items are not sorted alphabetically and the search option disappears after deleting an item. |
| DEV-277637 | Labor entries that were on hold and edited later were not updating quantity to go correctly. |
| DEV-279330 | In M2M 8.01, the JOISS screen doubles issue quantity when a part is stored in multiple locations. |
| DEV-279745 | In M2M 8.02, changing the receiver status after converting a make part to a buy part throws an error. |
| DEV-280849 | Setting Order Costing to “Never Post” causes an input length error when using max-length work center ID. |
| DEV-282266 | In M2M 8.x, editing a line item in the APINV screen causes an error if purchase category description exceeds 25 characters. |
| DEV-283251 | In M2M 8.x, the RECV screen does not allow entering multiple lot numbers before saving. |
| DEV-283533 | In M2M 8.x, row highlight colors in queues are lost on hover due to new theme. |
| DEV-283730 | Adding more than 6 lines to a document without saving in-between causes data to be lost upon save. |
