The latest feature release of PrintVis marks another significant leap forward for the leading ERP solution purpose-built for the print industry. Tightly integrated with Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, PrintVis continues to deliver robust tools for managing the entire printing company. This latest version introduces a wide range of enhancements and new features that elevate flexibility, automation, and efficiency across the platform.


Here’s a look at the highlights of what’s new in PrintVis version 26:

Spine Calculation Updates
New, more flexible spine calculation options to better support a variety of cover designs and binding types.

Create Multiple Order Lines at Once
You can now easily convert multiple quote lines to order lines in one step. Simply highlight the desired quote lines, and the system will automatically create the corresponding order lines, eliminating the need for manual entry of each quoted line.

Box Selection Calculation Formula
A smart new formula has been added to intelligently calculate box requirements. The formula evaluates the length, width, and height of products and available boxes to determine the optimal box type and quantity needed.

Microsoft 365 Security Groups Integration
We’ve added the ability to set licensed user types and template users based on MS365 security groups. A PrintVis User Wizard has been created on the Business Central users list to automatically create, update, or remove the PrintVis users based on these security groups.

SharePoint App Registration Connector
For enhanced security, users now have the option to connect to SharePoint using their own registered app. This connector can be enabled or disabled as needed.

ECO3 Integration Update: Left Trim Support for Flat Products
For users leveraging ECO3, PrintVis 26 ensures compatibility with your ECO3 integration for flat products, enabling necessary trimming features. (Applicable only for users with ECO3 integration.)

 

Advanced Scheduling & Planning Enhancements

Split and Merge Enhancements

  • Merge Split with Move: Automatically merges a split during a move, then re-splits after dropping.
  • Split on Opening Hours Only: Allows overlaps with other planning units and only considers opening hours when splitting.

Calculation Unit Detail for Rulesets
A new field for Process Group has been introduced. When populated, the system will auto-assign the process group to the calculation unit on the estimating page.

Increment Planning Priority
Schedulers can now set planning priority increments to e.g. 5 or 10 (instead of just 1), giving schedulers more flexibility when adjusting priorities before auto-scheduling.

Auto-Scheduling Options

  • Skip Ruleset Priority Assignment: Offers a new auto-schedule group option.
  • Schedule from Priorities: Uses existing priority values for automated scheduling based on predefined groups.
  • Single Unit Production Plan Page: A new view for managing individual production units.
  • Capacity Blocking / Placeholders: Now visible directly from the production plan page.

Placeholder Enhancement Boosts

  • Additional Placeholder Settings: Customer group and product group (from Sell-to Customer) can now be used  as options for assigning placeholders for scheduling.
  • Placeholder Comments: We have added a comment field on placeholders that are available on scheduling pages and the planning board
  • Placeholder Analysis Page: View key placeholder metrics including total, used, and free hours, along with order numbers associated with each.

Tool Fields on Production Plan Page
Tool codes associated with a specific job are now visible on the production plan page.

Manual Sheet Assignment to Milestones
Users can now manually assign a sheet to a milestone directly on the milestone page—complementing the existing auto-assignment functionality.

Planning Improvements

  • Adjust Plan with Actual Data: Schedules are automatically updated when shop floor progress is recorded or marked complete.
  • Planning Status Options: New job-level options (Can Be Planned / Milestones Only / Wait) are available and can be set by default per product group level.
  • Planning Process Flow Diagram: The process flow of schedule now includes milestones and more from both a scheduling and an estimating perspective depending on where you access it from providing a clearer view of scheduling and estimation flows.


Simplified Sales Order Integration

A simplified link between Business Central sales documents and PrintVis production orders allows teams to trigger case creation only for custom items—providing a more flexible approach to job initiation.
