7. Lifecycle Phases
Mainstream Phase (current product)
This is the currently released product line with the latest features and technology available. Includes support for the
most recent versions of Windows, SQL Server and MS Office. This version is intended for installation by new
customers. We recommend that existing customers migrate to this version when appropriate.
Extended Phase
These are generally previous Versions and/or Issues of the current Mainstream product. As soon as a new CD or
DVD is shipped, the previous Mainstream product is marked as 'Extended phase'. Generally only minor changes will
be made to this version of software and even then only at the discretion of the SYSPRO development team. We
recommend that existing customers migrate to the Mainstream version when appropriate.
Legacy Phase
These are older versions of software where no development work is being applied. These are typically at least a
generation of products older that the Mainstream one. We recommend that existing customers migrate to the
Mainstream version when appropriate. There is a risk that the latest technology may cause this software to fail to
run appropriately.
Retired Phase
These are older versions of software where no development work is being applied. These are at least a generation
of products older that the Mainstream one and use older technology or architectures. We recommend that existing
customers migrate to the Mainstream version when appropriate. There is a fairly high risk that the latest technology
may cause this software to fail to run appropriately.
8. A stepping stone version means that if you are using a
previous version of software, you must install and run the data
conversion using the stepping stone version before using
later versions.

SYSPRO helps food and beverage companies consistently meet quality, safety and compliance issues. All standard processes are documented, and all operations and results are tracked and logged to support your detailed reporting requirements. Features such as traceability, lot requirements, production statistics reporting, recipe management and change management provide the control and predictability you need to detect and address exceptions early, and consistently produce the highest quality products. Shelf life management and first-expire, first-out inventory control ensure you’ll use ingredients in the best sequence and avoid expiration loss. By tracking items from cradle to grave, your company can implement effective recall procedures with complete forward and backward traceability of any material. SYSPRO’s ERP software for food and beverage manufacturing addresses specific industry needs, while minimizing costs and maximizing productivity.
Distribution and manufacturing production control issues are separate and interrelated challenges faced by both discrete and process manufacturers. SYSPRO ERP includes functionality and best practice processing for each challenge -- solutions that are all more effective because they were created with an understanding of how manufacturing software needs to respond to the needs of food and beverage manufacturers.

Goods Inward Processing (shortage control)
When goods are received into stock (through any receipt mechanism) then the operator will have the option to check for any demand on the item (i.e. Sales Orders, Material allocations on a job) from the results (if allowed) will be able to issue to these.
Multilanguage descriptions and Notes
Ability to hold language codes and the translated stock description, long description, comments such as dangerous goods, sales text etc, against each stock code. Each customer, customer ship address, supplier, supplier ship address and warehouse will be assigned a language code. All sales order documents (acknowledgement, delivery note, invoices), equivalent dispatch note documents, purchase order document print and quotation document print relating to stock items printed for these entities will be in their language.
Status codes linked to activity classifications
Generic status codes - A generic set of status codes van be defined and multiple statuses assigned to an entity e.g. stock code, customer, supplier etc. These statuses are tied to the activity classifications and will determine whether or not a process can be undertaken for that entity.
User definable activity classifications - Depending on the status of an entity you will or will not be able to use this entity in this a process. For example you may not be allowed to add a stock code to a sales order when it is in a certain status.
Hierarchical classification against Stock items
This provides for structured searching on stock codes. A structure of classifications can be defined and stock codes attached to these classifications. A new search facility will use these to select the top level classification and drill down through the levels until you show the stock codes. You will be able to select the stock code based on this.
Configured Kits
Provide the ability to create a job in advance of confirming a quotation. Any changes to the quote will synchronize to the job allocations. Comment lines can optionally be printed on the Sales Order from the components used. A new type of kit (Configured kit) will be introduced that will be created from the Product Configurator in Sales Orders or Quotations. All selected components and operations will be written to new entries tables (not BOM or Estimate) which are linked to the sales order line (or quote line). When the job is created the components and operations in these tables will be used as the allocations. Any maintenance done to these entries will be synchronised with the job allocations. If the job was started before the quote was confirmed (the finished good will be flagged as non-stocked) then, at the time of confirming the quote and creating the sales order the item will be changed to stocked on the sales order and job and the job linked to the sales order line.
Automatic vouchering
New functionality to enable customers to mark certain Suppliers, Requisitions and Purchase Orders for automated vouchering. Invoices for these will be created by a schedulable program after receipt of the goods. It would be typically used in an environment where a trusted supplier makes many deliveries of low value.
Withholding tax in conjunction with Settlement discount Credit/Debit notes
The use of Credit/Debit notes for Settlement discount is now allowed in conjunction with the use of Withholding tax.
Increased Number of GL Budgets allowed
The number of allowed GL Budgets has been increased from 10 to 99, i.e. Current and Next Year budgets plus 97 Alternate Budgets.
