Adagio OrderEntry 9.2A


July 29, 2015



    ·    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 OrderEntry now logs user activity within the module, including login/out, menu choices, create/edit and print documents. Audit logs may be viewed with GridView.

    ·    The Edit and View Customer functions in OrderEntry support customer changes in Receivables 9.2A.

    ·    The Edit / View Customers / Items 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).

    ·    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.

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

    ·    The Data Integrity Check (DIC) saves results for the last 9 previous runs in files OEWINERR01..09.dat (where .dat is your company data file extension). The current DIC information will always be in OEWINERR. If you do check/rebuild/check without closing the DIC function the results are appended to the same file.

    ·    Adagio OrderEntry 9.2A now installs to the \Softrak\OrderEntry folder and the program name is OrderEntry.exe. Previous versions were installed in \Softrak\OEWin and had program name OEWin.exe.

    Print Forms and Designer

    ·    Added new specification code “C62 City, State/Province, ZIP/Postal (formatted)”.

    ·    Code 39 barcodes can be printed for any field on picking slips. Added ‘Bar code font’ field to the System tab in Options | Properties function in the designer. Note: The barcode font is not embedded in PDF email attachments and therefore it must be installed on any computer that prints documents containing barcodes. Typically the font you use will be installed on all machines at your site but is not likely to have been installed at your customer’s site. Thus barcode use should be limited to picking slips, although they will print on other documents. Barcodes will be embedded in a future release.

    Reports

    ·    Adagio OrderEntry’s 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\OrderEntry\StandardReports. Revisions to these reports should be placed in \Softrak\OrderEntry\ModifiedReports. Custom reports to be added to the Reports menu should be stored in \Softrak\OrderEntry\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.

    ·    Fields from tables that are not in the original standard report can now be added to modified reports. There are three restrictions: 1) tables can only be added to the main report, not sub-reports; 2) only tables from 9.2A dictionaries can be used; and 3) additional tables must have physical files in the data folder.

    ·    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.

    ·    A new ePrint code %CDT is available to put the ‘Report/Age as of date’ into either the PDF filename or folder name for the Aged Orders and Tax Tracking reports.

    Problems Fixed

    ·    If you changed the Sort Details option to sort by ‘Loc/Item’ on the Details tab and clicked the Keep Sort button, some lines no longer displayed in the grid in rare cases and could be lost from the order.

    ·    When a Miscellaneous Charge was entered on an order for a customer with a Price List, while the Description of the Miscellaneous Charge appeared correctly, the actual Miscellaneous Charge Code displayed as though there were no Price List. After Day End, documents had the same problem.

    ·    If the ‘Ask Print OK after forms print?’ and the ‘Close forms dialog after print?’ options in User Preferences are both enabled, the print dialog does not close unless you answer ‘Yes’ to the 'Everything printed OK?' question. This allows you to print another form for the same document or print and then email the same document.

    ·    When printing a Picking Slip from the Orders grid, the confirmation message “Everything printed OK?” was not shown when you printed to printer or screen (but was for Fax, Email, File and PDF) if the ‘Use selected specification’ was selected on the print dialog, even though 'Ask Print OK after forms print?' was set in User Preferences. The 'Close forms dialog after print?' option is also now respected.

    ·    In OrderEntry 8.1F for standalone databases (Inventory not used) an error occurred in the Display Items function.

    ·    The finder and smart finder in the Edit ShipTo Addresses function were missing records for the Customer selected and showed blank lines in the grid if Receivables 9.2A was in use.

    ·    The Adagio PDF viewer did not display accented characters (e.g. French language) correctly when viewing documents.

    ·    Viewing a PDF of an invoice that was created by Adagio ePrint (using the AdagioPDF driver) and then appended with scanned documents from another source, caused the Adagio PDF Viewer to crash in some cases. This has been corrected. However, the Viewer may not show the scanned PDF correctly. This will be corrected in a future release. In the interim, the document can be open from your default PDF viewer by clicking the lower leftmost button on the Adagio Viewer.

    ·    The ‘Print Invoice/Credit Note audit list’ option in Day End Processing is now remembered if ‘Remember report settings?’ is enabled in User Preferences.

    ·    If the ‘Include tax status summary’ was not enabled when printing the Tax Tracking report, many of the fields in that section printed anyway.

    ·    Import Alternate Price List Items for standalone OrderEntry (no Inventory) now allows importing the Category field.

    ·    The Territory field when on the Field Defaults tab in an import template now has a finder.

    ·    The Import Orders function no longer trims leading zeros from the ShipTo Code.

    ·    The ‘Header included?’ option in Import Orders templates could not be selected.  The option has been removed.
