Version 2013.6.0.4

This version was released to all customers on December 26, 2013.

 

Major Enhancements

2567: Global Price Bracket Formulas

We've added a new pricing feature. This area allows the user to specify a bracketed pricing formula. These brackets are global and therefore available to all customers that are assigned to a 'Pricing Bracket'.

If, for example, Global Price Bracket #2 is list down by 10%, every customer that has a 'Pricing Bracket' of 2 will be eligible to receive this price on every item.

When using the 'Hierarchical' pricing strategy, this price is the last price evaluated prior to accepting the default list price.

Minor Enhancements

2513: Automated Error Reporting

Added code that will automatically report unhandled exceptions to our internal bug tracking software. In the past, the user would receive a message from the .Net framework that would give details about the error. Now, that message is being intercepted and reported to Acclamare. The user will now receive a much simpler message informing that an error has occurred.

2497: Complimentary Items

Added a column chooser option for 'Item Description'.

2591: Customer Maintenance

Added a visual cue to the 'Tax Exempt Number' field. If the customer is marked as nontaxable, this field must have a value.

2499: Customer Quote

Added a field so that the user can specify terms for the quote. This value will be automatically defaulted based on the customer's default terms. This value will be passed to the sales order upon release.

2500: Customer Quote

Added a field so that the user can specify the carrier service for the quote. This value will be automatically defaulted based on the customer's default service. This value will be passed to the sales order upon release.

2596: DevExpress

We've upgraded to the latest version of DevExpress, the company that provides all of the widgets in Acclamare. They've added three new skins, and we've incorporated them into Acclamare. These new skins are 'Visual Studio 2013 Blue', 'Visual Studio 2013 Dark', and 'Visual Studio 2013 Light'.

2553: Email

In an effort to avoid the occasional error that occurs when sending an email, we've removed the code that attempts to delete the attached PDF file from the user's hard drive. This code fired immediately after the email was sent. Sometimes, the OS had not yet released its hold on the file and an error would occur. To avoid this problem, we no longer delete the file at the time the email is sent. We are now cleaning up the files on application start-up.

2530: Item

Added an optional field that specifies which user within the company has requested that the company begin selling this item.

2558: Item

Added a visual cue to the 'Quantity UM Ratio' and 'Price/Cost UM Ratio' fields. The user will see an error if 1) the UM does not match SKU, but the ratio is 1 or 2) the UM matches the SKU, but the ratio is not 1.

2543: Phone Number Fields

Phone numbers throughout the application will now accept up to 25 characters of input.

2387: Physical Count

The 'Count Sequence' setting of 'By Bin Name' now properly accounts for items with multiple bin locations. In order to do this, only the primary bin will be listed in the worksheet.

2432: Reorder Control Calculations

The Order Quantity that is calculated will now be adjusted to meet the minimum order requirements of the default vendor. The 'Must be Ordered in Multiples of Minimum' rule will be followed too.

2548: Replenishment

Added a new field called "Purchase Group". The column does not appear on the screen by default and, as such, will need to be customized into the grid if desired. It only applies to demand stock purchase orders. The value will be ignored on all other lines. This column allows the buyer to generate multiple purchase orders to the same vendor. This is accomplished by setting the group number. All items being purchased from the same vendor, but with different group numbers, will be grouped onto purchase orders based on this number. One other note, only Purchase Group 1 will append to an existing PO; all other Purchase Groups will create a new PO that can only be appended to within the replenishment post itself.

2345: Rework Order

Added the functionality to reset the order's status.

2565: Sales Invoice

Attached Documents functionality is now available.

2382: Sales Order

The 'Residential' flag has been added to the shipping information screen.

2544: Sales Order

User manual price changes are now being tracked in the tattle tale report.

2566: Sales Order

Attached Documents functionality is now available.

2522: Shipping

Added code to account for orders that contain 1) a bottom line, 2) lines that aren't discountable, and 3) multiple shipments. In this situation, the discount is now split onto the resulting invoices based on the weighting of discountable lines that were shipped.

2531: Stock Item

Added an optional field that specifies which user within the company requested that this item be stocked.

2541: Vendor Return

Vendor returns can now be performed against a vendor that has been marked as inactive.
