Adagio Inventory 8.1A

August 25, 2007

Compatible with Windows® VistaTM.
Compatible with Adagio Lankpaks 8.1A. Lanpaks must be 8.1A for all Adagio 8.1A modules.
Smart Finder can now search on multiple criteria.
Contents of disabled fields are shown in blue rather than dimmed gray. This may be easier to read on some monitors at higher resolutions.
Adagio download files, installs, workstation installs, all workstation install (\softrak\allwkst\allwkst.exe), program files and the Adagio Check System utility (chksys.exe) are now signed with a digital certificate using VeriSign to allow you to verify the Publisher is Softrak Systems Inc.
Vista does not support the old style Windows Help (.HLP files). All .HLP files were converted to compiled HTML help (.CHM files), which are supported by Vista.
For security reasons Windows does not permit .CHM help files to be run from a network drive. This is true in XP as well as Vista. The .CHM files must be run from a local drive. Adagio 8.1A installs all .CHM help files to your local hard drive and loads them from there. The workstation install also copies .CHM files to the local drive.
When switching window/task in Vista with Alt-Tab or the new Flip 3D (Windows-Tab) an image of the current Adagio screen is shown rather than just the icon of the Adagio program.
You can now backup Adagio data in zip form to WebSafe, a web-based storage facility. WebSafe is a service which allows you to store your important information in a secure location that you can access from anywhere in the world. See www.websafe.com for details.
The formatting of dates and text sent to Excel from Smart Finder results has been improved.
Adagio Inventory Adagio Ledger 9.0A ready. Fields required for future drill-down from Ledger to IC History are included in the GL transaction batch and will be retrieved by Ledger 8.1A.
Transaction History is now updated by posting rather than having to print and clear audit lists. Note: this has some implications for sites running ACCPAC® PlusT Inventory Control on the same database. See Consideration for ACCPAC Plus Users in Important Notes in the Readme.
You no longer have to print and clear the audit lists to ensure the Stock Card report and backdated Item Valuation report are up date. These reports depend on all details existing in the transaction history. In previous versions it was easy to forget to print and clear the audit lists, leading to unexpected results in these reports.
Import and Export Reorder Data functions added. You can now import reorder data, including Period Starting Date, Minimum Level, Maximum Level, Reorder Quantity and Projected Sales.

A 'User defined' field has been added to the G/L Description 'Send to' options in the Company Profile. This allows you to format the G/L Description field sent to the GL using a combination of fields from the original transaction, batch information (posting sequence, batch number, entry number), and free form text. The following specification codes are supported.

Code	Description	Comment
%cst	Customer code	Valid for shipments only
%cnm	Customer name	Valid for shipments only
%ven	Vendor code	Valid for receipts only
%vnm	Vendor name	Valid for receipts only
%ref	Reference	Valid for transactions except receipts
%cmr	Reason/Remark	Valid for BOM, Adjustments and Physical Inventory only
%des	Description	Valid for receipts only
%cm1	Comment 1	Valid for receipts only
%cm2	Comment 2	Valid for receipts only
%rcp	Receipt number	Valid for receipts only
%inv	Invoice number	Valid for receipts only
%cct	Contact	Valid for shipments only

Import Alternate Price List items added to security Groups.
The Job, Phase and Category field sizes have been increased on the Shipment Audit List report.
On the Bill of Materials List report, for items with negative quantity, the unit cost and assembly cost are now calculated from the most recent cost rather than the actual cost. There was no change for standard costing items - the program should and does use most recent cost.
Item Valuation report was not suppressing non-zero Qtys when a particular Location was selected (eg. loc [RET] to [RET]) rather than a range, for the 'Items by Location' and 'Separate Locations' options.
The Average Unit Value figure was incorrect on the Item Valuation report for items stocked by each but priced and costed by another unit, such as by box.
The Item Valuation report was not printing items that had positive and negative quantities across Locations totaling to zero when the 'Restrict to non-zero qtys and costs' option was selected.
Selection by date range on the Transaction History report was not working correctly.
Copying a single segment item number did not trim leading zeros from the new item number. Leading zeros are not allowed in item numbers.
Re-order dates in the sample data have been corrected.
The Period End now shows more activity on the progress bar.
An error occurred when converting databases in 8.0B if the history file contained corrupt transactions originating from certain old DOS third-party products.
The Update Price List function now updates the 'Sale price' and the 'Sale starts' and 'Sale ends' fields for all items that fall within the range specified. In previous versions, items would only be updated if the Sale price changed from the previous Sale price by +/- $0.05.
When importing Physical Inventory you can now import the Qty On Hand (as it was when the worksheet was printed and the export file created). The export file must include the Qty On Hand field. This allows you to begin processing transactions for items as soon as the count is made. The import generates the difference between the original Qty On Hand and the count. Note: If imported, the Qty On Hand must precede the quantities counted fields.
When pricing by a discount or markup amount, if the amount was over $1000 the decimal portion of the amount could not be entered or saved. This has been corrected for items, alternate items and categories.
Costing was not correct when posting shipments or transfers, or assembling master items for items with residual cost (quantity on-hand was zero but cost was not zero).
Costing was not correct when posting adjustments for items using moving average or standard costing, when the quantity was adjusted to zero and the item had negative residual cost.
