Change Sort order on the Work with Finalized Purchase Order Screen to sort by Vendor and then purchase order number
On Version 3.1.0 and prior, if you sent an internet e-mail from within the POS system, and you had carriage returns in the text in the e-mail that was sent and the recipients e-mail client was HTML enabled, the message would not display with the line breaks in HTML enabled client e-mail readers. This has been fixed.
Prior to this release, if you printed unbilled invoices and there were not any invoices to print, a single page would print to the printer that had “#ERROR” listed in many of the fields. This occurred because there were no invoices to print. The problem was a single page was wasted on the printer. We have fixed this so that nothing prints if there are not any invoices to print and thus the single page printed is not wasted.
The Select Vendor Screen on the Add Order Line Item Inventory screen now allows you to select a vendor. In addition, IF you are authorized to vendor management, you will also have the ability on the Select Vendor Screen to add a new vendor on the fly. If you are not authorized to Vendor Management, you will not see the “Add New” and “Maintain” vendor buttons
If you duplicate an order that was previously direct billed to a customer that is now in a status of “In-Active” then you will have to select a new customer to direct bill the order to. This is because you should not be able to direct bill an order to an in-active customer. Same is true if the previous order was direct billed to a customer contact that is no longer an authorized buyer. You will have to select a new customer contact as the authorized buyer.
On the Select Customer to Direct Bill Screen, you will now have to double click in the Yellow Field to pull up the “Search for Customer” screen. In addition, the Add New Customer, Maintain Customer can only be done from the Search for Customer screen. This is to encourage you to search for the customer before adding a new one and thus creating duplicate customers in the POS/CIS systemThe same is true on the Duplicate Customer Screen and the Maintain Payment Batch Checks Screen.
You can now delete a customer from the POS/CIS so long as the customer does not have any history. If the customer has history, you will only be able change the Customers Status to “In-Active”
From the Maintain Customer Screen, you now have a new option whereby you can merge one customer and its history with another customer. This is helpful for when you need to combine to customers into one. Sometimes you may have two customers by accident whereby one was created and then later a second was accidentally created. The Merge feature will help you keep your database clean by doing merges when necessary.
Outgoing E-mails from the POS/CIS did not set the Mime Version number to 1.0. The reason was that all e-mail clients we tested showed that those clients defaulted to Mime Version 1.0 if it was not set. Our Initial testing was done on about 8 different e-mail clients on Operating Systems including Windows 98, ME, 2000, XP, Macintosh 9 and X (Jaguar and Panther) as well as Linux E-mail Clients such as Pine, and more. It was discovered the Eudora E-mail Client behaved differently than all other clients, whereby if Eudora Did not see the Mime Version number set, instead of it defaulting to the Version 1.0 Mime Type, it simply ignored it. This caused =20=20=20=20 values to be embedded in messages displayed only in the Eudora E-mail Client. We have fixed this in this release of the POS/CIS for Eudora E-mail Client and others that may not default to the Mime Version 1.0. Now the Mime Version number is explicitly set on all outgoing e-mails.
Previous to this current release, when an e-mail was automatically sent to the customer letting them know their order was ready for pickup or the order has been shipped (when you mark and order complete or shipped), the e-mail did not get stored in the Internet Outgoing E-mails Screen. This has been corrected so that these automated e-mails will now be automatically saved in the Internet Outgoing E-mails List
Previously when you marked an order complete or shipped and you have automated completion e-mail notices and/or automated shipping notification e-mails turned on, then a confirmation popped up letting you know the message was sent successfully. For logistical reasons this feature has been removed from the POS. No more confirmation message. This had to be removed to support other features that were added.
Sales Tax rates were not addable under Version 3.1.0 – This has been corrected so you can add new sales tax records as well as use the Copy/New Function
When specifying an award classification on a product, one of the award classifications in the pull-down list would not be accepted by the system. This is typically the “Glass” classification. This has been corrected in this release.
The Work with Products Screen now shows the Product Status. Previously you could only view the product status when you maintained the product in question.
Previous to this release you could not “re-activate” a product once it was “In-Activated” – As of this release you can re-activate an In-Active Product.
