Version 4.2.034 (Apr 2021)
Previous Topic  Next Topic 

This minor update includes some additional fixes and enhancements to reports.

Projects

[Fixed] Due to an incorrect layer assignment, a transparent screen object was blocking access to the alternate address controls, requiring the user to use the [Tab] key to edit these. Note: Only those who downloaded the first distribution of version 4.2.032 may see this issue. 

Clients

[Fixed] A bug in the Client ID field's error checking interfered with changing the Client ID.

Vendors

[Enhanced] Improvements to the way alternate addresses are displayed on the selection buttons, especially where an "Attention" line is used at the bottom. 

Orders

[Enhanced] The "P.O. Recap" and "Vendor Payment" reports now have color-coding in their status columns like that used on the "Expediting Status" reports. 

[Enhanced] The "Deposit Status" report now includes the vendor deposit invoice number entered on the Orders screen. [Fixed] The "PO #" column had not been widened to support the new PO number format options. 

[Enhanced] The "Vendor Invoice Detail" report now lists vendor deposit invoices along with balance invoices. Freight invoices are also handled with better labeling. When an item has both an FF&E invoice and a freight invoice listed, the freight invoice is listed separately in the report. There are complementary improvements to the "Check Request List" report on the Check Request screen—see that section below.

Note: This report breaks out invoices by vendor, invoice number and date. This is sufficient for most instances, however if you consistently receive multiple "pro forma" invoices from the same vendor on the same date, you may wish to add more than "Pro Forma" in your "Invoice #" entries. 

Items

[Fixed] When entering a special Order Item Type, the payment date field caused a crash if it was double-clicked (to display a calendar) instead of using one of the other methods of entering a date. This also caused a malformed item record that would appear on the Orders  screen but not on the Expediting screen, among other problems. No other date fields were affected by this issue. If you believe you have an item like this, contact technical support to have it repaired.

Processing

[New] When using the Issue Vendor Deposit Requests and Issue Vendor Balance Requests commands, there is a new Record (Only) button that will create the requests without printing them. 

This is intended for "as agent" or internal users who are forwarding vendor invoices with a cover sheet, for which you can use the Check Requests List screen's "Check Request List" report. This allows you to keep the order processing status updated but without needing to print a check request to match. If needed you can "re-print" any check request later from that screen. 

[Enhanced] The "Re-print Orders" command now has an option that allows you to re-print an issued order that was voided (with a "VOID" watermark). Voided orders that were never issued cannot be printed while they remain in voided status.

[Enhanced] There are two "Working..." pop-up flags to help make this status more clear when totals are being recalculated.  

[Fixed] A new "VOID" watermark on the purchase order formats was creating a white space at the top of pages after page 1, even if it was not printing. Note that releases of version 4.2.032 downloaded after 3/23/21 will have this fix already included.

Requests

[Enhanced] The "Requests List" reports have been reformatted to include the vendor name. New report options supports a date range to limit requests in the reports to specific document issue dates (both request issue dates and order issue dates) as well as include or exclude voided requests. 

Using the request issue date range allows you to report on requests issued against recent invoices, based on the dates the requests were created. 

[Fixed] The program crashed if the Clear Payment command was  used and then immediately followed by using the Void command.
