*AR The cash payment application alternate screen, showing invoice balances in a table, has been enhanced so that the final “field” entry, which allows use of F5 to set discount/allowance/reference info, is now separate from the discount available column, so that users are less likely to try disable the discount by trying to change the Y to N, which would not work.

Current Release 35.213 (14.07)
Nov 23 2023
*RW The filename entry window for export files, pdf files and text files has been enhanced so that if the file exists and overwrite confirmation is requested or if the directory specified does not exist and must becreated, the confirmation question is now inside the window instead of at the bottom of the main screen, making it easier to notice and deal with.

*DX The partner qualifier field has been duplicated on the first screen, next to the partner id field, for display and entry, since the two values always go together.
*DX The export orders template maintenance has been enhanced so that the auto delimiter flag now allows C for column number mode, where extra separators are added to ensure the field is the specified column. This is different from Y mode, where column numbers are ignored, and to get an empty column, you have to add a blank literal in that spot.
*DX The export orders template maintenance has been enhanced so that the X12 settings window has a flag for treating column numbers as segment numbers. Segment numbers are 1 lower than column numbers, so they start with zero for the actual segment literal, and the first element is number 1, which is stored internally (and invisibly) as column 2.

*OE The invoice history view by invoice would, when using multiple tenders and the payment detail shown is the first line on the screen after going to next page of detail, show “garbage” when hitting enter for extra columns of line item information, instead of continuing to show the paymen detail. This has been corrected.
*OE The line item entry would, as of 14.07.35.212, only add/process the first component of a miscellaneious kit item. This has been corrected.

In addition, it has been reformatted to put the employee code and name on the left, but they will be highlighted to show the current row being changed, so the user may easily see which is the current employee. When the field is accumulator, personal choice item, or accrual, then the program will ask which one should be in the edit column.

Current Release 35.211 (14.07)
Jul 04 2023
*RW The F7 filter feature, found in most find functions, has been enhanced to allow !word to search for entries that do NOT have that word, and to allow | to mean “or”, so one can search for wordlist1 | wordlist2 meaning either wordlist1 (including any “!” entries) or wordlist2.
*RW The F7 filter feature, found in most find functions, should have an F2 settings option, where one can change from matching any case to matching the exact case of what is typed in. The other option is to switch from matching separate words, anywhere in the target record, to macthing the string exactly as typed in. eg) “hi there” can be changed to match only “Hi there.” and not also “Hi. Are you there?”. Note, it can also be partial words, eg “i the” to match “Hi there”. Of course that would also match “Mon cheri the …”.
*IC The kit transaction entry/post multi-user handling has been improved so that entering/updating a kit transaction will now allow the inventory transactions to be posted while a user is entering/viewing kit transactions. And posting of a kit transaction will still prevent the posting of inventory transactions, but entry is now allowed while the kit transaction is being posted.
*AP When posting a printed check or online payment that uses up a prepayment, and the voucher being assigned to the prepayment has an early payment discount, the vendor history could have an entry just for the discount, rather than it being part of the check entry. This has been corrected.
*AP When posting an online payment that uses up a prepayment, the vendor history entry for the prepayment would not have it’s balance updated, and would not get deleted once it was all used up while the open item entry was updated correctly. This would leave the original vendor history entry for the prepayment on file in addition to the reallocation of that check to the vouchers it was used to pay. This has been corrected so the original record’s balance is updated, then the record is finally purged once the balance becomes zero.
*IC The Inventory file utility to change item number could, under certain conditions, enter an infinite loop. This has been corrected.
*IC The inventory transaction entry screen could, if the “track by user” feature is on, and the same user id tries to go into the entry screen as is currently posting elsewhere, get stuck with a “waiting for record in use at another station” message. This has been corrected.
*IC The kit transaction posting has been changed so that inventory entry can be done while the kit is posting, but inventory post continues to be prevented. Also, going into kit entry does not prevent inventory posting anymore.
*OE The control information has a new option for what the default value is for the line item ship date, when adding the line and hitting enter.
*OE The invoice history view by invoice number could show the wrong invoice total in the top right of the screen, when the F1 for next invoice brings up the same invoice number that was just showing. This has been corrected.
*OE The invoice history view by invoice number has been enhanced so that the main invoice number field now supports the shift-F1 key for showing the previous invoice.
*OE Billing’s line item margin window was calculating line results using the unit cost and price instead of the extended price/cost. This has beencorrected.
*OE The automatic purchase order creation window would, if the user chose to hit TAB to exit the window without creating a purchase order, still ask for a cost. This has been corrected.
*OE The order totals screen weight field has a new option F2=sum of line weights. This shows the current value of the sum of the line item weights, and the user may hit F2 if they wish to set the weight to that value, even if that is already the value in the weight field.
*RW The find users function has been enhanced to include a zoom window, which shows the title, address, phone and emails for the current user. These are also the fields the filter searches, so it can help determine why the filter included a user.
*RW The view user activity window would show “change company number” when a user is still starting up and entering the first company number. It has been enhanced to say “startup” in that case.
*RW The view user activity window can now sort by any of the columns.
*RW Credit card processing would retry failed transactions using the same library, even when the user’s choice of retry method indicates the need for a different library. This has been corrected.
Current Release 35.210 (14.07)
Jun 28 2023
*AP The open items & manual payments entry screen has been enhanced so that when processing a prepayment application, a check balance now shows below the prepayment check amount, so the user can know how much remainsto be applied.

*AR The paid within terms report has been enhanced to include the actual salesep as a column in the export file, after the invoice amount. The overdue days would also not be reset to zero when paid on time. This has been corrected.

*GL The general journal entry screen would, if the transaction just selected was created from a sub-ledger and had associated detail, display the warning message about only allowing change to the reference and document number fields, then exit back to the top of the screen rather than returning to the field number to change prompt. This has been corrected.
*GL The year end would not advance the period screen’s “current fiscal year period” to the next year. This has been corrected.
*IC The find item function’s zoom window displays prices, and would do so even if the user record settings specified that certain prices were to be hidden. This has been corrected.
*PC The payroll forms print for T4/T4A/Releve1 other box number fields would, for box numbers over 99, truncate the box number to the last 2 digits. This has been corrected.

These options are S=display on screen, P=print report, D=delete report, V=view report. Display and print will still ask for the starting page# and how many are wanted.
*RW The automatic log file purge, which is done when the first user starts up a session, could get a message about “too many arguments” when done on a linux server, and not actually purge the files. This has been corrected.

This has been corrected so that the inv-bal: line is back, but only prints when there is more than two documents in the group, or when there are two but the balance is non-zero.
When there is only one document or if there are two with a balance of zero, then the balance line is not needed and will not print.

*AP The vendor history open payables by date has been enhanced to show the aging cutoff date in the legends.
*AP The vendor history open payables by date would not reset the subtotals when the A/P account changed, so all subtotals past the first would be running totals instead of independent. This has been corrected.

The system has been enhanced so that when using 5010 or higher, the field is set to a separator character such as ^, |, { or }. Whichever field is not already in use as one of the normal separators.
*DX The order import and the customer import feature for automatic update of the template formats would trigger the function to ask the user to save the changes instead of automatically saving the change, which could cause automated keystroke import sessions to fail. This has been corrected.

*PC The payroll menu has been changed so the update is for July 2022.
*PC In Payroll PDF reprint, filtering by employee excluded checks and stubs. This has been corrected.
*PC The employee maintenance window for TD1 details has had a new row added for any “mid-year adjustment” that needs to be applied retroactively. The basic amount gets updated to what it should be, and if it applies retroactively to the beginning of the year, the amount of the adjustment goes into the mid-year field, so that regular tax calculations can process both the actual change, and the retroactive change going forward. The retroactive change will be zeroed out at the beginning of the next year.
*PC The transaction code maintenance function would force P type (prior) codes to do accumulator updates at J (journal entry) time, and not allow the user to specify entry or check times. This has been corrected.

Feb 02 2022

*BR The bankbook report and entries report have been enhanced to show when a check is an online payment or a funds transfer rather than a simple paper check.

*GL The G/L file utilities has a new utility which can recalculate the comparative amounts in the chart of account records.
*IC The item maintenance samco option 1823, for copy item from another company, would do nothing if the samco option was turned on but the I/C control information was not set as to HOW to do the copy.

*OE The order entry ability to reprint an invoice would also regenerate the EDI document for an EDI order. This has been corrected.
*OE The invoice printing feature for extended lines on non-total pages could fail to set the extended line flag which is used to control different behavior on the total page versus the regular pages. This has been
corrected.

*OE The posting would remove the unposted entry in A/R if there were no backorders on the order, but it was still in the system because only some lines were selected for billing. This has been corrected.
*PC The reprint pdf function has been enhanced to be more efficient when the check number range is not first/last. It was also enhanced to only select checks and funds transfer stubs even if the document type is A for all types, if the check number range is not first/last. Finally, when selecting a document type other than all/check/stub, the check# range
fields become not applicable “(n/a)”.

transaction code was set to have a maximum amount on an accumulator. This has been corrected.

This has been corrected, and the level update for level 204 will automatically correct the CPP codes if they have the wrong value.
*RW The find system printers function has been enhanced to show the P for pdf printer.
*RW The menu’s F3 jump feature would, when the “EX” option (meaning exit) was used, recreate the main window and immediately close it again after the normal close of the main window. This has been corrected.

*RW The installation routines could get some extra 8 second pauses when updating the percentage complete. This has been corrected.
*SC The find ticket window has been enhanced to have a selection option for patched tickets, and to add the keyword “patched” to the Shift-F7 filter option.

*IC Samco option CS2135 for date sensitive prices (Load price changes) has been enhanced so that when using the extra samco option CS2137 (for looking up price codes by description), the import will ignore the case of the description, allowing the price code to be found even when the description is not using the same upper/lower case.
*IC Kit transaction posting could get an error 91,00 when finishing up. This has been corrected.
*IC The Group price changes report can now be exported to a tab delimited file.
*OE Incorrect quantities could be calculated, when choosing a B/O kit handling selection. This has been corrected.
*OE When printing a picking ticket to PDF, the Order status was not updated. This has been corrected.
*PC The find accumulator function has been enhanced to inclue the F7 filter option, for easier searching.
*PC The reprint PDF function would return a “No record found” message when an employee code is entered. This has been corrected.
*PC The reports menu has a new sick day earnings worksheet which will ask for the sick day, the number of days back to check for earnings, and a range of employees, then print off the transactions for each employee which are normal earnings (not overtime, not bonus amounts, not deductions), to get the appropriate earnings amounts from the last 30 days to help with “average daily pay” calculations.
*PC The print employee record has been enhanced to include the sick days date for start of the employment year. The terminated date has been moved to the bottom of the column of dates, to make room and since it is more logical in that position.
*RW The button bar on the gui screen would truncate a tiny portion of the right side of the next/previous buttons. This has been corrected.
Current Release 35.201 (14.07)

*DX The item information import has been enhanced to support the status record auto-creation feature, when the I/C control information says to do that.
*OE The BLMENU program could get an error 92,00 on the OECTLF file. This has been corrected.

*OE Billing’s line item entry could, when using rental items, display two fields with the same field number. This has been corrected.
*OE The profitability report would, in detail mode, show all the lines for an invoice even when sorted by salesrep and some of the lines belong to a different salesrep. This has been corrected.
*PA Transfer In line items for serialized items have been enhanced to fetch the serial numbers used from the Transfer Out records when using in-transit warehouses.
*PC Pay stubs that are supposed to be eSent were printing hard copies instead. This has been corrected.
*RW The users maintenance function would get an error 94,20 when no ICCTLF file is present and Samco option 2316 is enabled. This has been corrected.

*OE Form printing in Billing could, in rare circumstances, get a different discount amount on the line item (by one cent, due to rounding) than the posting would. This has been corrected.
*PC Printing current/historical T4 and releve 1 functions have been enhanced so that when using eSend, or if the samco option for pdf archiving is enabled, the printing happens in separate passes. This way the T4s can, if need be, go to a single PDF file for printing to any printer, such as a GDI printer.
*SF All modules will now, when a form is printed, create a pdf copy in the appropriate archive file for that module, so that the new reprint option in the reports menu will be able to find and print the archived copy of the form. Note: If the form is designed to go on a pre-printed document, the archive copy will not have any literals included to help determine which fields are which values. Documents include invoices, picking tickets, quotes, A/R statements, A/P checks, payroll checks, purchase orders and receivers.

corrected.

*AR The cash transaction lower screen where application of the cash takes place would, as of 14.07.35.195, treat the lower field tag numbers as if they were 1 to 4, instead of 10 to 13. This has been corrected.
*OE In Billing, PDF archive phase of form printing, the page count is not getting initialized. This has been corrected.
*OE In Billing, Orders, Consolidate orders, a routine to precalculate the resulting line items count was added. If the resulting line items count exceeds 979, a message is displayed and the consolidation is canceled.

Current Release 35.195 (14.07)
Jun 01 2021
*AP In AP, when voiding a prepayment quick check a second time, the system failed to locate the record. This has been corrected.
*AR The cash application screen will display a message when the document specified has an atypical balance. This message has been improved to be more specific about what the document type is and why the balance is not normal.
*AR The cash application screen’s F5 window for specifying which documents (apply-to numbers, actually) should be paid, would, if the running balance went negative, use that negative balance when the F1 key was used for default amount to pay an invoice, when it should have just used the invoice amount. This has been corrected.
*AR The cash application screen’s F5 window for specifying which documents (apply-to numbers, actually) should be paid has been enhanced so that if there is an open credit, and it has a positive balance, a message comes up explaining that this is unusual (atypical) for open credits and there are no funds available to be redistributed to invoices.
*AR The cash application screen’s F5 window for specifying which documents (apply-to numbers, actually) should be paid has been enhanced so that when “paying” a payment, the “payment” has to be the same sign as the document balance. Normal payments require a negative “pay-amt” so that their funds can go into the running balance and be used to pay something with a postive balance (invoices usually). While a payment with a postive balance needs to be paid down like an invoice, so it now requires a postive “pay-amt” like an invoice does.
*AR The forms maintenance test feature has been enhanced so that when using always mounted forms with the samco esend feature for single pass printing (CS2227), the test will ask for which printer to print to instead of assuming the mounted printer.
*AR The view customer account/history screen could get an error 94,20 on the INVHIS file, if the system had the O/E programs available but has only P/I data in the current company, and the user hits F4 to see invoice
detail. This has been corrected.
*AR The statement printing has been enhanced to ask for a printer# when doing test prints from forms maintenance, even when the control file says forms are always mounted and has a pre-set printer entered.
*AR The history/statement printing would fail, when the customer range was set to a single customer, and trying to esend when the paper printer was set to the same printer as the esend printer. This has been corrected.
*AR The statement/history selection has been enhanced so that when using esend, the paper printer field enforces picking a paper printer and the esend printer field enforces picking an esend printer. You can only pick any type of printer when the other media type is set to “skip” those customers.
*GL In GL, when printing a historical financial statement with CS2453 enabled, the Retained earnings would show wrong amount. This has been corrected.
*IC Item maintenance would, for an item that has no product number, do nothing when attempting to use the Shift-F5 key to jump to the vendor item screen. It will now explain that the item needs a product number.

If the F2 key is used, then the duplicate information will be allowed.
*AP The void check function will now show the vendor number associated with the specified check. If there is more than one vendor, ie more than one check, screen will ask for which vendor’s check to void.

*PA The samco option, CS1293 (which swaps the behaviour for cost defaults), would always use replacement cost even when factor codes are turned on or the samco option for foreign currency is turned on, and the base cost should be used instead. This has been corrected.

*RW The G/L function to get distributions could, on rare occasions, while getting distributions at the same time as a subledger is posting, read a distribution and mark it transferred, before the posting was done with it. This would result in GL transactions that did not balance. This has been corrected.

*IC Added new odbc table ICPHXFNC. It references the same data as the other ICPHXF tables, but instead of numeric quantity fields it has alpha fields, so they can be tested to see if they hold “*NULL*” as a value, indicating that the field has no count yet.

*AR The sales posting could sometimes get a rounding error when processing foreign currency amounts and be off by one cent when the amount to round was exactly one half cent. This has been corrected.

*OE The billing select screen for line item entry would, if the customer went over their credit limit and the user was viewing a line, allow the user to select the “cancel line” option without checking to see if a
customs document had been printed/generated, so a supervisor override was not asked for. This has been corrected.
*OE The orders enter screen for line item entry would, if the customer went over their credit limit and the user was viewing a line, allow the user to select the “cancel line” option without checking to see if a customs document had been printed/generated, so a supervisor override was not asked for. This has been corrected.
*OE The order/7512 recall screen has been enhanced so that instead of simply saying “duplicate record” when the order number was already in the submission list, it will now tell the user that the order# was already in the submission list and it would need to be retracted first. The submission screen has a similar change.

inventory transfer that is created to move the stock from the in-transit warehouse and back into the from warehouse. This has been corrected.

than all the apply detail. This has been corrected.
*BR The bank reconciliation screen has been changed so that void and stop payment records can now be “cleared” like regular documents. They will remain in the list until cleared. Once cleared, they are attached
to that reconciliation date. The “*void*” mark (and the “*stop* mark) have moved from the cleared-date column to the opposite amount column.
*CB The check for delayed so,97 report has been enhanced to distinguish between sent documents and pending documents.

void-check’s date for the distribution date instead of the actual distribution date. This has been corrected

*OE Billing The view invoice history function to view by invoice number would include component line values in the invoice total, if the invoice had a miscellaneous kit on it. This has been corrected.
*OE Billing The rapid entry (and retail entry) screen would set the order status from incomplete to complete (or selected) when tab out of the line adding to get to the totals section at the bottom even if the user resumed adding more lines. This has been corrected so the order status remains incomplete until after exiting the entry screen for that order.
*OE Billing Order Entry would not update the salesman when pressing F1 to show the next ship-to address for the customer. This has been corrected.
*OE Billing The orders enter function would not mark the order as in use, when the order was found using the F1 or Shift-F1 options. This has been corrected.

*RW The print to screen was making the second dashed line of the headers brown instead of black. This has been corrected.
*SC The find tickets function has been enhanced to show a counter when building the work file, purging it, and when paging up/down (using a filter) so that when a large # of records have been loaded, any delays are
still giving feeback about progress.

*IC The item maintenance would not allow a supplier number be the same as the item number, even though it is common to use a supplier’s part number as one’s own. This has been corrected.
*OE The line item entry could set the quantity committed wrong if the item was lot controlled, and the option inside the lot allocation window was used for changing the line quantities, then after the line was finished the user pressed F5 to select a line. This has been corrected.
*OE The billing posting would allow the selection of an eSend printer as the device to send reports to, but it would ask for the eSend information multiple times, allowing the user to tab out without specifying designation information, and causing the reports to be lost.
