Enhancements & Revisions



Adagio PurchaseOrders 9.2A


February 17, 2015



    General Features

    ·    Compatible with and required by future release of Adagio Payables 9.2A. Earlier versions of PurchaseOrders will not open if Payables 9.2A data is present. Version 9.2A remains downward compatible with 8.1D to 8.1F versions of Payables.

    ·    You can now start other Adagio modules from toolbar buttons showing the icon for the module. This allows easy switching between Adagio modules. If a module is running against the same company data, Adagio will now just switch to that running instance, rather than launching a second instance. Toolbar buttons can be rearranged under File | User preferences, or by dragging the buttons around or off the toolbar itself.

    ·    Adagio PurchaseOrders now logs user activity within the module, including login, menu choices. Audit logs may be viewed with GridView.

    ·    Grids may be “banded” with a User Selectable color and banding frequency set under File | User Preferences. Filter Styles may be disabled and replaced with regular banding if desired.

    ·    The status bar at the bottom of the main window now shows activity of various steps when the program is starting up and the database is opening.

     


    ·    The Column Editor screen can be sized. The size is remembered by module on the workstation.

    ·    Updated splash screen with new Adagio logo and colors. Updated icon and toolbar button images.

    ·    The System Status function (chksys) and its Snapshot function have been improved.

    Payables Interface

    ·    The Edit and View Vendor functions in PurchaseOrders support vendor changes in Payables 9.2A. These functions and document entry support the module and function-specific vendor Alerts added for Payables 9.2A.

    ·    The Edit / View Vendors grids now display the total number of records, as well as a count of the displayed records when a Filter is active. An Ignore Style Color button has also been added. Click this button to toggle the grid between no color and Style colors or no color and banding (if it is enabled in User Preferences).

    ·    The Find by vendor Phone now shows formatted phone numbers.

    ·    For Adagio ePrint users, the Edit/View Vendor functions in PurchaseOrders now support viewing PDFs of purchase order documents.

    ·    Added new codes to the specification designer for new fields in the Payables 9.2A vendor:
         Vendor address line 1..7 (compressed)                          Vendor Country
         Vendor address 1..7 (formatted)                                   Vendor Comments 2
         Vendor Name 2                                                            Vendor Name 1 + 2
         Vendor City                                                                 Vendor I.D. number - partial
         Vendor State/Province

    Reports

    ·    Adagio PurchaseOrders standard reports are now created using Crystal Reports 2013, replacing the Crystal Reports 8.5 Print Engine (CRPE32.dll). The module’s management reports are now stored in \Softrak\PurchaseOrders\StandardReports. Revisions to these reports should be placed in \Softrak\PurchaseOrders\ModifiedReports. Custom reports to be added to the Reports menu should be stored in \Softrak\PurchaseOrders\CustomReports. Reports must be edited or created using Crystal Reports 2011 or 2013 and Adagio ODBC for access to the data files. Users will notice minor changes to some of the visual elements in the module and a new Print Preview window. The size and position of the Print Preview window are now remembered between sessions by user, so the Workstation options controlling this function have been removed. Exporting to an Excel spreadsheet from the print preview window has been significantly improved. Refer to the online Crystal help for details. The Report Tables Drive settings and Crystal tables in the \QRASP folder are not used by version 9.2A modules.

    ·    An updated version of Adagio PrintTool (PT) is installed in \Softrak\PrintTool. PT allows you to print / preview custom reports without needing to run Crystal Reports itself or without placing the report on the Custom Reports menu in an Adagio module, and allows reports to be placed on the Windows desktop. PrintTool 9.2A prints custom reports created with Crystal Reports 2011 or 2013 only. Adagio ODBC must be installed to create custom reports but is not required to print custom reports. Your Adagio dealer or consultant can create custom reports for you and deploy them at your site. Note: PT does not print reports created with Crystal Reports 8.5 for Adagio. Existing version 8.5 custom reports must be converted before they can be printed by 9.2A. PT allows you to specify a report to print on the command line using the /r parameter. This allows Adagio automation batches to print custom reports (to printer – a future release of PT will allow automation batches to print custom reports to PDF). PT does not require registration with Softrak Systems but does use Adagio Lanpak licenses.

    ·    The Outstanding Receipt Invoices report now reports on zero value Delivery Notes. This is useful for sites that post zero value Delivery Notes and don't post a value with the items until the actual Inv/Adjustment is created. When these sites later try to archive documents, unless invoiced, the zero value Delivery Notes and their associated documents won't archive to history.

    ·    New ePrint code %CDT is available to put the Calculate/Report as of Date into either the PDF filename or folder name for reports such as Outstanding Receipt Invoice List, Tax Tracking and Tax Summary.

    ·    Miscellaneous

    ·    When emailing from the PO Document List grid, the default is to “Now” instead of “Add to Queue”. Emailing from the Print Documents function defaults to “Add to Queue”.

    ·    The Sent to JC Reference/Description fields on the Integration tab in the Company Profile now include ‘Item number’ and ‘Item description’.

    ·    New export templates created for Excel format default the file extension to .XLXS rather than .XLS as in prior versions.

    Problems Fixed

    ·    In a multi-user PurchaseOrders site using “Auto Generate POs from”, with multiple people in PurchaseOrders concurrently, posting of the generated orders would sometimes not result in correct updating of the Qty on Purchase Order number in the Item File or Dollars on PO in the Vendor file.

    ·    Auto Generate POs from IC calculated the wrong quantity for non-stock items in some cases.

    ·    In PurchaseOrders 8.1D, when importing items from an OE order and creating a Shipto address from the OE order, both the Shipto and Billto addresses on the purchase order were populated from the OE order. Now only the ShipTo address is brought into the PO from the OE customer’s order.

    ·    When using Contract Costing for Sundry Items, partial Receipts calculated and posted incorrect outstanding amounts to the original PO. If interfaced to JobCost, the partial Receipts as either delivery notes/invoices were not created as cost batch entries into JobCost and therefore Outstanding PO Amounts in Estimates were not updated.

    ·    When using Contract Costing for Sundry Items, partial Receipts displayed the message “There are no more items on backorder. Would you like to complete this order?” instead of “There are still items on backorder. Would you like to complete this order?”. Likewise, when you receipted the final installment on a contract, the message “There are still items on backorder. Would you like to complete this order?” instead of “There are no more items on backorder. Would you like to complete this order?”.

    ·    When you posted a second Receipt for a Contract Costing Sundry Item, the Extended Order Cost was not net of the first Receipt.

    ·    When invoicing a Receipt for Contract Costing Sundry Item, the Adjustment Cost could be edited. This is now prevented.

    ·    When only a single vendor is selected in the “Auto Generate POs from” function, alerts for that vendor are now popped up when appropriate.

    ·    The Approve function in Edit Requisitions function did not pop vendor alerts.

    ·    When importing purchase orders, receipts or quick receipts, the Document Date was set to the session date rather than the date from the import file.

    ·    If you use account formatting in Ledger, when you imported Sundry Items and used a default for the GL Department, it used the format for the account instead, which could cause an error indicating the account did not exist.

    ·    For MultiCurrency databases, the Day End Audit List report only printed currency rates with 5 decimals instead of 7.
