Construction Base extends several machinery-related objects of MEGABAU 365 instead of introducing new ones. This page documents these extensions, grouped by the MEGABAU 365 object they modify:
Machinery - extends table MachineryMGB.
Machinery Locations - extends table and page Mach. LocationsMGB.
Machinery Search - extends page Machinery SearchMGB and its subpage Machinery Search SubpageMGB.
Vendor Certificates - extends page Vendor CertificatesMGB, complemented by a new Construction Base page.
Related feature: Machinery in Job describes the machinery-on-job list/card, machinery search, line suggestions, accessory selection and location responsibles that build on the extensions below.
Machinery
Construction Base extends the MEGABAU 365 table MachineryMGB with the field and logic needed for accessory-machinery selection.
Field
Description
CBSelectedNVX
Internal flag used to mark a machinery as selected, for example while selecting machinery in the Machinery Search subpage on mobile.
The extension also adds the logic that offers or automatically takes over accessory machineries for a main machinery, and translates the MEGABAU 365 position type option into the Construction Base Machinery Position Type used throughout the machinery-on-job features.
Machinery Locations
Construction Base extends the MEGABAU 365 table and page Mach. LocationsMGB to show how many employees are responsible for a location.
Field
Description
Employee responsible (CBPersonsResponsibleNVX)
Number of employees responsible for this location, calculated from the Machinery Location Responsibles list. Shown on the Machinery Locations page.
Note
Deleting a machinery location also deletes its Machinery Location Responsibles lines.
Important
An older field on this table, also named "Employee responsible", has been superseded by the Machinery Location Responsibles table described in Machinery in Job and is no longer used.
Machinery Mgt. Setup
Construction Base extends the MEGABAU 365 table and page Machinery Mgt. SetupMGB with an additional setup value.
Field
Description
Site Pick Approval Tolerance (days)
Number of days of tolerance used when approving site picks.
Machinery Search
Construction Base extends the MEGABAU 365 page Machinery SearchMGB and its subpage Machinery Search SubpageMGB to add a barcode-based lookup and, on mobile devices, a selection column.
Field
Description
Inventory No.
Barcode field on the Machinery Search page. Scanning or entering an Inventory No. filters the search subpage's list to matching machinery.
Selected
On the Machinery Search Subpage, shown only on the phone client instead of the standard Mark field, and used to select machinery in the list. On other clients, the standard Mark field is shown instead.
Note
Changing the "Quantity from Machinery Search" field on the subpage updates the corresponding line in the caller's selection.
Vendor Certificates
Construction Base extends the MEGABAU 365 page Vendor CertificatesMGB so that it can be opened pre-filtered to a specific vendor: when a vendor number was set for this purpose before opening the page, only that vendor's certificates are shown.
Certificates is a new Construction Base card-part page that complements Vendor Certificates by giving purchasing a quick overview, based on the Purchases & Payables Setup, of vendor certificates that are expiring soon or have already expired.
Field
Description
Expired Certificates
Number of vendors, with an open purchase order, whose certificates have already expired. Drilling down opens the affected vendors.
Warning (caption depends on setup)
Number of vendors, with an open purchase order, whose certificates expire within the warning period configured in the Purchases & Payables Setup. Drilling down opens the affected vendors.
Note
Only vendors that currently have an open purchase Bill of Quantities order (not yet fully invoiced) are considered.
