Thank you for using SynCAS PSI Visualizer.
SynCAS PSI Visualizer 3.1.5 has been released in October 2017.

Functions

“SynCAS PSI Visualizer” is a system developed for Retail and Manufacturing Industry to “Visualize” the stock status, and realizes “Visualization of Inventory”, “Early Detection of Problem Inventory”, “Visualization of Inventory Reduction Progress”, etc.

Inventory transition thumbnail

Allows you to intuitively extract problem inventories from the shape of the inventory transition instead of numerical information.

Detailed PSI display

Shows detailed inventory input and output to check the PSI balance. Furthermore, it allows you to perform a simulation by changing the forecast for future inventory inputs and outputs.

Locator display

Shows all products on the Locator to enable you to grasp all problem inventories at once. Furthermore, it allows you to check the results of the inventory improvement activities by comparing with past charts.

SKU List display

Allows you to display evaluation indicators, product information and the like as a list.

Evaluation indicators calculation

Calculates various evaluation indicators such as Inventory days, Inventory stay days, and Inventory turnover.

Filtering

Allows you to combine multiple conditions to extract problem inventories.

Alert

Allows you to display alerts by setting thresholds in advance.

Hierarchical display

Displays inventory transition thumbnails in a hierarchical manner, such as by product, warehouse, etc. Allows you to narrow down problem inventories by drilling down from higher hierarchy levels.

Status display

Allows you to display items layered by status, such as non-inspected products, inspected products, etc.

Control class

Allows you to manage items by setting classes such as degrees of importance and inventory trends.

Time bucket switching

Allows you to display values aggregated by week, half-month, or month.

Changes in SynCAS PSI Visualizer 3.1.5

Corrections

1. Corrected the problem in the Inventory transition graph causing the SynCAS PSI Visualizer to terminate abnormally if the mouse was clicked on the chart area when the table area was hidden. (#14828)
2. Corrected the problem in the Inventory transition graph placing a red comment frame to a comparison view when a comment was added to other than a comparison view series. (#12561)
3. Corrected the problem in the Inventory transition graph causing error when a series name and evaluation indicator name were the same. (#12478)
4. Corrected the problem in the Locator screen causing the flags’ show/hide states to fail to be restored when the screen was closed and opened thereafter. (#12425)
5. Corrected the problem in the Locator screen causing auxiliary line values on the chart to not match the table values. (#14829)
6. Corrected the problem in the Inventory transition by dimension screen causing the Inventory transition by dimension to not reflect the display order of the summary pattern combination table. (#8084)
7. Corrected the on-screen English and Chinese labels. (#12416, #19561)
8. Improved the batch processing performance when using Oracle Database. (#19662)
9. Corrected the problem causing the Generate cube program to terminate abnormally when using Oracle Database. (#17976)
10. Corrected to allow setting of parallelization by using an external file when using Oracle Database. (#20987)
11. Corrected to allow output of the database disk usage when using Oracle Database. (#6960)
12. Corrected the problem causing the SynCAS PSI Visualizer to terminate abnormally while calculating LT max fluctuation when LT is outside the scope of calculation. (#12666)
13. A base date update procedure has been added to prevent summary periods and the like be affected by nightly batch programs extending over two days. (#19364)
14. Corrected the problem causing the inventory transition to be calculated with initial inventory 0 (zero) when Time Series Value Handler for the series master is set to StockTransitionAll. (#16931)
15. Corrected the problem causing the calculation of indicators of a logically deleted cube. (#12396)
16. Corrected the problem in the Master Maintenance screen preventing displayed imported data from being saved. (#12560)
17. Corrected the problem in My Bookmark Detail of the Master Maintenance screen causing error when pasting. (#12559)
18. Corrected the problem in the Master Maintenance screen causing the paste location to move. (#12558)
19. Corrected the manual:
    • Corrected descriptions related to searches on the SKU List screen. (#18144, #24047)
    • Added explanation on PSIBatchShrinkDataBase.bat. (#12426)
    • Added explanation on PSIBatchRestructSequences.bat. (#12423)
    • Added explanation on PSIBatchInsertDefaultAxisEval.bat. (#12422)

Notes and Restrictions

1. Only comma-delimited files are accepted for interface files.
2. Depending on the number of categories registered, time may be required to log in or launch the Inventory transition graph.
3. Deleting the control class detail specified in Default control class detail of the Control Class Master by using Locator and the like may hide the thumbnails.
4. Summary by Status batch program terminates abnormally if a Status pattern code includes “- (hyphen)”.
5. When using an Oracle DBMS, the Commit Import Data program may terminate abnormally (ORA-12801 or ORA-12838). This is caused by a parallel processing restriction in Oracle, and can be avoided by disabling parallelization. To disable parallelization, set as follows:
   1. Using a text editor and the like, open Installation folder¥Server¥sql¥oracle¥PSI_PreProcessing.sql.
   2. Change the file content as follows:

1st line	Before	ALTER SESSION SET PARALLEL_DEGREE_POLICY=AUTO
	After	ALTER SESSION SET PARALLEL_DEGREE_POLICY=MANUAL
3rd line	Before	ALTER SESSION FORCE PARALLEL QUERY
	After	ALTER SESSION FORCE PARALLEL QUERY PARALLEL 1
5th line	Before	ALTER SESSION FORCE PARALLEL DDL
	After	ALTER SESSION FORCE PARALLEL DDL PARALLEL 1
7th line	Before	ALTER SESSION FORCE PARALLEL DML
	After	ALTER SESSION FORCE PARALLEL DML PARALLEL 1
