Major Enhancements

Acclamare REST API

We have completed phase 1 of development on the Acclamare REST API. This will be a second product that requires its own license and will compliment a full installation of Acclamare by making it easier for sites to implement third-party integrations. For the majority of our existing customers, we simply want you to know that this exists and that we will continue our regular development of Acclamare and that will will also be expanding this API. However, very few of you will actually ever need this product.

We developed this API for two primary reasons. First, as stated above, it offers companies with the correct technical expertise to create their own third-party integrations to Acclamare. Second, it gives us a foundation to develop integrations to products that we can offer to customers that don't have that technical expertise in-house. We'll announce these integrations as we get into later phases of development and select candidates for integration.

9921: Dashboards

Added the ability for a technical resource (Acclamare, your VAR partner, your IT manager, etc.) to design custom dashboard queries and use them for custom dashboards.

8215: Server-Side Cache

Implemented server-side caching of frequently used records. This primarily caches records that are changed infrequently and used for enumeration purposes like Terms, Product Groups, Warehouses, Users, etc. This should lead to fewer queries being run against the database and therefor improved performance of the overall system.

Minor Enhancements

9445: Accounts Receivable Adjustment

Added a new field to this screen labeled New Balance that shows the user what the balance of the document will be after their adjustments.

9042: Bank Withdrawal

Changed the Export ACH File routine so that it also includes vendor credits that were applied to invoices in the batch.

9575: Customer Maintenance

The value for Bottom Line Discount can now be cleared when the customer should no longer receive the discount.

8608: Customer Quote

Added a new feature in the Actions menu that allows the user to check the available quantity on every checked line so that they can now whether or not the quote can be released and shipped in full.

9125: Customer Returns

Added a new field to track why the customer is returning the item. This field contains an enumeration of predefined values which are: None Given (the default value) Order Entry Error (CSR error) Picking Error (warehouse error) Requested Wrong Item (customer error) Damaged Item Defective Item Did Not Need (customer error)

9126: Customer Unreturns

Added a new field to track why the customer is seeking a credit for the item. This field contains an enumeration of predefined values which are:

• None Given (the default value)
• Order Entry Error (CSR error)
• Picking Error (warehouse error)
• Requested Wrong Item (customer error)
• Damaged Item
• Defective Item
• Did Not Need (customer error)

9732: Scheduled Jobs

Added a new optional job that can be used to regularly generate a full Price Sheet.

9460: Vendor Return

Added a new field that is used to determine the value of Requires Vendor Approval when a new return is created for the vendor.

8746: Vendor Return Confirmation

The Vendor Credit that is generated at the end of this process is now being calculated based on the Quantity Accepted rather than on the full Quantity.

8777: Warehouse Transfer Receiving

Added an "Open" feature to this screen to locate receipts that have been created but not posted.

Bug Fixes

9892: Attached Documents

We are now trapping an unhandled exception that occurs when a user tries to access a file that they do not have permission to access. They will now be given a standard Acclamare error message explaining why the file can't be accessed.

9616: Avalara Tax Calculations

We are now trapping two unhandled exceptions that occur when a user triggers tax calculations for a customer that has an incomplete or invalid address. The user will now be shown a standard Acclamare error message explaining the problem.

9619: Built-in Tax Calculations

Corrected an unhandled exception that occurred when the document had a $0 shipping total and included bottom line discounts.

9554: Close Year

Corrected an issue that caused the wrong date to be used for close of year entries at sites that use a fiscal calendar that does not match the actual calendar.

9764: Close Year

Corrected an issue with reopening a closed year that could cause retained earnings for the current year to be displayed incorrectly on financial reports and inquiries.

9676: Customer Payment

Corrected an unhandled exception that occurred when the customer record being used did not contain a Customer Name.

9588: Customer Quote

Corrected an unhandled exception that occurred if the site was using Avalara and the user triggered tax calculations for a document that had no lines.

9903: Customer Quote

Corrected an unhandled exception that occurred when the user edited the shipping address and toggled the Residence flag.

9829: Customer Return Receiving

Corrected an issue that could lead to incorrect values in a stocking record. The issue could occur when there was no stock on hand and sales orders with backorders for the item. When the customer return was tied to a vendor return, and then the line was received, the system was incorrectly filling the open backorders as well as committing the quantity to the outgoing VRA. The system will now correctly not fill the backorders.

9909: Dashboard Maintenance

Corrected several unhandled exceptions that occurred due to missing DevExpress dlls.

9678: Dynamic Inquiries

Corrected an issue with the Customer Contacts grid that caused the address information to not be displayed.

9622: Expedite & Follow-Up

Corrected an unhandled exception that could occur if usage records had negative values in them due to customer returns.

9690: Item Change Wizard

Corrected an issue that caused some of the enumerations to have incorrect options.

9589: Merge Items

Corrected an unhandled exception that occurred when the item being kept didn't have a matching usage record for at least one month and year combination of the item being removed.

9893: Miscellaneous Cash Receipts

Corrected an unhandled exception that occurred if the user clicked Save while the screen was empty.

9590: Sales Order

Corrected an unhandled exception that could occur when the user tried to add a BTO Kit detail to a sales order line, but was prevented from doing so due to business rules. Under certain circumstances, the BTO window was still (incorrectly) being shown and that caused the error.

9623: Sales Order

Corrected an issue that caused taxes to be calculated incorrectly for miscellaneous credit lines.

9695: Sales Order

Corrected an unhandled exception that could occur when attempting to use "Invoice This Order".

9620: Usage Adjustments

Corrected an error that prevented posting when multiple items were in the grid that were not being adjusted.

9621: Vendor Dropship Confirmation

Corrected an unhandled exception that could occur when the user tried to delete a confirmation that had already been posted.

9888: Vendor Invoice

Added the "Record not Found" logic to this area for times when a user clicks a hyperlink to a document that's already been deleted.

9858: Vendor Return Confirmation

Corrected an issue that could lead to inventory reconciliation problems if some of the quantity being returned was rejected by the vendor.
