This version includes bug fixes reported in the initial distribution of Version 4.3.015.  Where noted, as of 12 Oct 2022, critical fixes were also included in the .015 version's installer. This version also accumulates other enhancements and corrections in response to user feedback.

If you have installed this version from a version of FF&EZ earlier than Version 4.3.015, be sure to read that section and all previous sections that you may have missed.

Design Module

Reports

[New] When you print with the [>PDF] print option, you can specify a default folder that FF&EZ will use to save PDF files, including a subfolder named after the Project ID. This is available when printing general reports for a single project or documents for a single project under the "Processing" functions. See the entry under "Setup" above.

FF&E Worksheet

[Fixed] If an item on the Worksheet was ordered and then the order was voided, an error occurred if the Worksheet entry was deleted but replaced with the same object and ordered again. This might happen if there was a problem with a vendor and a new order of the same object was needed after changing the vendor. (4.3.016)

[Fixed] Removed some test fields in the bottom margin of the "Object Component Quantity Review Report." (4.3.019)

Item Screen

[Enhanced] The availability of some fields when adding special item types has been made more consistent with the type of item (for instance, the tax rate would not apply to an "additional tax" item, since the item is itself a lump sum tax amount). Also, if the item type is changed while adding the item, the system clears previous entries that may not be applicable to the new type.

[Fixed] The list of special item types was no longer fully accessible. The default value of a regular item was already selected and only the "Lump sum adjustment" was enabled. Included in 12 Oct 2022 revised release.

[Fixed] The "Additional freight" and "Additional tax" special items do not apply to orders that have not been issued. Total tax and freight amounts should be entered in the tax estimate or quote and freight quote fields prior to issuing an order.

[Fixed] The "Lump sum discount" and "Lump sum adjustment" item types were recording vendor final invoice information on unissued orders, which could cause confusing report numbers until processing was complete. On unissued orders, these item types should be treated like other FF&E items.

[Fixed] An extra colon (":") was being added to the date / user timestamp in multi-user systems. Included in 12 Oct 2022 revised release.

Expediting

[Fixed] When using the Update Order Status command, the "Will ship" date field was not allowing manual entries. The shortcut keys still worked correctly. (4.3.019)

[Fixed] When using the Update Item Status command, the "New Will ship" date field retained the last entered value until the Expediting screen was closed. This did not affect any data, since this field only applied to new shipping splits and could be changed as needed.

[Fixed] If the "Shipped" and "Delivered" status were entered by mistake and the "Shipped" data was erased first, the "Delivered" fields became disabled. They should be disabled if no shipping data has been entered, but not if they already contain entries.

Processing

Changed: In order to allow the entry of negative numbers for credit lines or returns, the Enter Vendor / Reconcile Final Invoices command no longer supports the use of the "+" and "-" keys when adjusting rounding errors on pro rata freight or tax amounts. Instead, you can now "bump" the amounts up and down (by .01) using the ] and [ keys instead. (4.3.018)

[Enhanced] Improvements to the process that determines if the "current" order has eligible items for a balance request.

[Enhanced] Added more information about processing returned items to the Help section Vendor Credits, Refunds, Returns. Note: a future release will include a dedicated "Returns" command.

[Enhanced] Modified the Managing Freight-only and Logistics Vendor Orders section in the Help system to clarify best practices.

[Fixed] Odd character entry behavior when manually entering line item amounts while using Enter Vendor / Reconcile Final Invoices. (4.3.018)

[Fixed] A change to some shared code for processing deposit invoices caused the "Issue Balance Check Requests" function to find no eligible items to process. Included in 12 Oct 2022 revised release.
