Version 2013.4.0.2

This version was released to all customers on September 3, 2013.

 

Major Enhancements

2416: Attached Documents

We've added a new feature we're calling Attached Documents. This feature will allow you to attach any file to certain areas of the application. You can add, view, or delete attachments in the specified areas.

There are no file type restrictions; we rely on the operating system to open the files for us. As such, if the user doesn't have the correct software installed that is needed to view a particular file type, the attachment will not open.

Before the feature can be used, the system needs to be configured. First, a system administrator should create a sharable folder somewhere on your network. Second, each workstation needs to be configured by selecting the "File -> Machine Specific Options ..." item on the menu on the main Acclamare screen. The field "Document Folder" needs to be pointed to the shared folder in step one.

In each functional area you can click the "File -> Attached Documents ..." menu item to see all of the files that have been attached to the item you are currently viewing. You can also add or delete attachments from here. It may be necessary to customize this item into your menu.

This functionality is currently available in the following areas:

• Customer Maintenance
• Customer Payments
• Customer Quotes
• Item Maintenance
• Vendor Invoices
• Vendor Maintenance

 

Minor Enhancements

2352: Customer Return

This screen now contains the standard customer address vertical grid.

2362: Customer Return

When selecting an invoice, any free freight associated to the invoice will be deducted from the freight being credited.

2308: Item Search

A new field has been added to the advanced search feature. The user can now perform a search based on the "Default Vendor".

2429: Promotions

You can now create a global promotion that applies to all customers. You do this by creating a promotion and leaving the customer grid completely empty. This promotion will now be available as the lowest priority promotion to every customer and customer location. Although the system will not prevent you from doing so, you are highly discouraged from creating more than one global promotion.

2221: Purchase Order

Purchase order deletions will now be recorded in the tattle tale table.

2222: Purchase Order

When a user changes the cost or quantity on a line that has already been saved to the database, these actions will be recorded to the tattle tale table.

2298: Purchase Order

When exiting a purchase order, the user will now be prompted to close the order if all lines have been received and/or cancelled.

2034: Purchase Order Receiving

When receiving excess quantity on a line that is associated to other documents (sales orders or kits), the user now has a choice of what to do with the excess. The user can select between two options: "Add to Document" or "Into Inventory". The choice is made in the "Excess Disposition" field which needs to be customized into the grid if you choose to use it. By default, the value will be set to "Into Inventory". The one restriction is that the user cannot choose "Into Inventory" on unit controlled items.

2317: Sales Order

The Kit Order field in the detail grid now contains a hyperlink that will allow the user to drill into the associated Kit Order.

2439: User Interface

The company that provides the widgets that we use throughout the application has added two new skins: Office 2013 Dark Gray and Office 2013 Light Gray. Both can be found under the File -> Look & Feel menu.

2440: User Interface

We've given the user interface a refresh by updating the button glyphs. These new images more closely mirror the latest Windows graphics elements. Along with this change, users can now turn on the "Large Icon" option when customizing menus throughout the application.

2333: Vendor Credit

Users are now prevented from deleting a posted credit.

2334: Vendor Credit

The status is now being displayed in a column that can be customized into the grid.

2378: Vendor Drop Ship Confirmation

When the user incorrectly selects a purchase order for vendor drop ship confirmation and then deletes the confirmation, the PO will now be returned to "Vendor Notified" status.

2192: Warehouse Transfer

When exiting from a warehouse transfer, the system will now check to see if all lines have been shipped. If they have, but the status is not "Shipped" due to lines being altered or deleted, the system will now prompt the user to set the status to "Shipped".

 

Bug Fixes

2280: Bank Account Reconciliation

Pressing the File -> Exit button will now properly close the window.

2425: Customer

The "Customer Save As ..." functionality has been modified to include the "Days Past Due to Allow Before Placing On Hold" field.

2447: Customer Payment

Corrected an issue that allowed the user to over-apply a payment by entering a payment amount and discount that summed to exceed the amount due on the selected document.

2344: Manual Journal Entry

Corrected an issue that caused reversing entries to be placed in the wrong fiscal year and period when the original entry and reversing entry spanned two fiscal years.

Corrected an issue that caused the payment amount to be calculated incorrectly. The issue only occurred when a user searched for and opened a previously saved vendor payment that had not yet gone through the bank withdrawal process.

2193: Quantity Adjustment

Corrected an issue that caused the list in the adjustment type field to remove some of the available options for stocked items. The user was able to change from stock to virtual and back to stock to get the complete list. This has now been corrected.

Corrected an issue that prevented the release process from properly marking the invoice as "Posted".

1906: Replenishment

The user lock is now being properly cleared when exiting a worksheet.

Corrected an issue that caused an unhandled error when opening a saved shipment that did not have a carrier defined.

2448: Shipping

Corrected an issue that caused inventory levels to be incorrect when an item had quantity in stock and in virtual stock.
