ODYSSEY 6.2 MR5 RELEASED 

More Enhancements for Metalcasters 

 

Bridgman, Michigan, May 18, 2020 â€“ B&L Information Systems announces the release of Odyssey 6.2 Maintenance Release 5. Odyssey is enterprise resource planning software specifically for foundries, diecasters and investment casters. “This is one of our largest maintenance releases, comprising over 200 issues addressed. Of those, 50 are enhancement requests, 24 of which were requested through our Customer Feedback Forum. We know that our most important asset for new features is our customer base, so we will continue to dedicate resources to making your enhancements come to fruition,” noted Brad Clark, Vice President - Research & Development. 

Highlights include the ability to ship a tool to either an existing supplier, a customer, or to a third-party. In quoting, we have added the ability to add routing comments to the quote and copy these comments to the product’s routing. Another update to the quoting allows you to copy a quote’s routing to an existing product. This may be needed if a product is re-quoted and the routing has changed. You can now unlock your own batches throughout the financial system if you are given authority through security. This option will give you a shortcut to unlocking batches if they have become locked. In the Maintenance Management module, when you schedule PMs or use Equipment Analysis, you now can enter the number of days the PM is allowed to take. This allows setting a due date based on working days. 

All Odyssey release information, including Odyssey 6.2 MR5, is now available through Rapid Support — available within Odyssey Web UI or via the B&L customer portal (Customer Login) for customers on Windows UI.  Any assistance needed in the update process is free for any customers on maintenance with B&L. Odyssey customers on the B&L Cloud will be contacted by B&L's Technology Department with the update schedule.
