Why the changes to the panelboard structure?
- Your Stock price for a Box and Front will always match the quote Box and Front price in COMPAS Go.
- This includes panelboard type P1 through P5.
- Channel Partners will be able to select “Ship Cans Ahead” in the shipping screen in COMPAS Go.
- When Ship Cans Ahead occurs, the panelboard price will match the same price that the Box(s) can be provided from stock. The overall panel price will therefore remain the same. This will allow for flexibility in “Cans Ahead” situations.
- With this change, when “Ship Cans Ahead” is selected on the order and the contractor has requested a box from stock, the price for the Box from stock will match the price of the Box received from the plant. Previously the box from stock had a price associated with it. While the box from the plant was billed at $0. This caused billing reconciliation problems. Now users can see that accountability has been added to the Box and Front pricing and any related Box and Front pricing problems are a thing of the past.
- Because of the upgrade of the panelboard structure, users cannot copy and paste panelboard lines created prior to October 19, 2020 into new quotes because of the old Panelboard Structure and New Panelboard Structure incompatibility.
- Siemens will reconfigure all panelboards checked in over the weekend (October 17th & 18th) prior to October 19th.
