Visio Supply Chain Templates For Microsoft

Posted:admin

Created on April 4, 2012. I am new to Visio. My company needs to use it to be able to draw ethernet network diagrams in industrial automation environment. I have been looking everywhere possible on the net to find a free stencil with a set of shapes that are basic controllers (e.g. Industrial PLCs, etc.) but I haven't been successful.

Note: If you don’t see the search box, you might need to activate it. Click the View tab, then select Task Panes Shapes. Still don't see the search box? Click the symbol at the top of your ruler on the left hand side of your screen.Under Local, the search results are displayed and categorized by their Visio stencil title.Under Online, (which is available when you're connected to the internet), you'll see shapes on the web by other companies, including Microsoft. To access those shapes, do the following:a.

Click the stencil to see a preview.b. To put the stencil in your My Shapes folder, click Download.c. After it has downloaded, click Open to display the stencil in the Shapes pane. The default option for search is to search for text that matches All of the words (AND).

Although the search is not case-sensitive, it does match on whole words. For example, 'Air Cond' will not find the 'Air Conditioner' shape when this is the selected option.However, if the option is changed to Any of the words (OR), then the 'Air Conditioner' shape will be matched because its name contains the word 'Air'.When you select one of the found master shapes in the Local results, and drag it onto the page, a copy of the master shape is first added to the Document Stencil.

You can drag and drop this master shape from there subsequently, rather than searching for it again.Check Shapes More Shapes Show Document Stencil to view the master shapes currently used in the document.The search also checks the Keywords of the shapes. For example, searching for the word 'Tile' appears to mistakenly match with 'Square stone', however, an examination of the Keywords of the master shape reveals that it does contain the word 'tile'.Editions of Microsoft Visio that have an online subscription also have the ability to search for shapes in a number of third party stencils hosted by Microsoft.

For example, searching for the word 'Tile' shows that it is also found in an online stencil, which can then be selected and downloaded. This will download the whole stencil in your My Shapes folder in a sub-folder named after the third-party provider. These stencils, and all of the master shapes within them, are immediately available to use in the current and subsequent sessions. These stencils have been vetted by Microsoft and are safe to use.

Some organizations require that purchase requisitions and purchase orders are approved by a user other than the person who entered the transaction. To set up an approval process, you can create a workflow.

A workflow represents a business process. It defines how a document flows through the system and indicates who must complete a task or approve a document. There are several benefits of using the workflow system in your organization:

Consistent processes— You can define the approval process for specific documents, such as purchase requisitions and expense reports. Using the workflow system helps to ensure that documents are processed and approved in a consistent and efficient manner.
Process visibility — You can track the status, history, and performance metrics of a specific workflow instance. This helps you determine whether changes should be made to the workflow to improve efficiency.
Centralized work list — Users can view a centralized work list to view the workflow tasks and approvals assigned to them across all workflows they participate in. This is available in the Work items page.

The types of workflows that you can create

The following workflow types are available for Procurement and sourcing.

Type	Use this type to
Purchase requisition review	Create review and approval workflows for purchase requisitions.
Purchase requisition line review	Create review and approval workflows for purchase requisition lines.
Purchase order workflow	Create review and approval workflows for purchase orders.
Purchase order line workflow	Create review and approve workflows for purchase order lines.
Vendor add application workflow	Create review and approval workflows for adding new vendors via vendor requests.

Creating a workflow

To create a workflow, go to Procurement and sourcing > Setup > Procurement and sourcing workflows and create a new workflow by selecting the type of workflow you want to create.

In the workflow canvas you can drag workflow elements into the designer and link the elements into a flow. The workflow elements should be configured. For approval and task workflow elements you can configure which participant should take action.

Types of participants

You can assign an approval step to the following groups of participants.

User group	Description
