The Audit button is a standard button found throughout the system. TRAX displays the PN Master Audit window which allows the user to view changes made to a record.

P/N Control field: Works in conjunction with the Values Base On Life Limit checkbox. This field allows the user to establish a P/N Control. The Life Limit of the P/N Control will be re-evaluated once the part is returned to Inventory.

Value of Part based on Condition: The Value of Part based on Condition field allows the user to establish a value of a part based on a Condition Transaction Code. Once this Condition is selected during the Order Receiving process of an Exchange Order Out, the Local F/A Amount for Part Number will be re-evaluated based on the Value of Part based on Condition percentage.

Copy/Paste

The TRAX 11 release allows users to copy and paste the query or results section of windows. This allows the user to simply copy, for example, the Purchase Order number and then paste it if searching for the order or upon receiving the part into the system. This is only one option of how this feature can be utilized throughout the system.

Dock and Undock Option

A feature that is available in Version 11 is the ability for the user to 'Undock' a window from TRAX. This method allows the user to place the window anywhere on their desktop or in TRAX by selecting the Undock button located at the top of the window. The user may have multiple windows open at the same time.

The Filter/Sort option allows the user to filter and sort through countless records. The Filter/sort option is designed to aid the user in matching the actual search results with the user's needs.

Lock/Unlock Functionality

Throughout TRAX there are built-in features that help prevent data from being duplicated by blocking multiple users from editing/updating the same records at the same time.

This functionality helps keep track of components, authorizations, and work floor duties.

To access the TRAX Mobile application, the TRAX Mobile checkbox will need to be selected. Once selected users can carry out the same sign on steps they are use to performing.
