Enhancements & Revisions



Adagio Payables 9.3B


February 17, 2020



    New Features

    ·    System Check Processing has been reorganized to allow multiple concurrent check runs with security defining particular tasks allowed to be run by specified users.  The Payments tab now has a second grid to display a vendor summary of generated payments.  It can be used to assign payments to all invoices for selected vendors and sort payments by vendor name or amount.

    ·    System Check Runs now support an optional Approval process that must be completed before Printing or EFT and Posting can begin.

    ·    System and Manual Check processing can now be Parked (paused) after checks have been printed or EFT payments generated to allow determining success or failure without having to leave a screen open and potentially blocking other users out of function access.  After, the process can be Resumed.

    ·    System Check Run Inquiry function allows viewing summary payment amounts from check runs in the current or previous fiscal years.  Pre-check Register or Check Register reports can be printed from here, as can a new System Check Status Report.  Reprint or email Additional Forms for all selected vendors.

    ·    Additional Forms can now be printed, emailed or faxed in conjunction with a Preferred Advice Send Method for vendors.

    ·    Printing checks or generating EFT payments allows sorting by methods other than vendor number (such as Name, Report Group or Payment Amount) and are remembered for the next check print.

    ·    An Autosave batch entries process has been added for maintaining an Autosave file that, if found, can be optionally used to restore the batch when saved entries do not match what is expected.

    ·    A new EFT Maximum field has been added to the bank record, to prevent generating an EFT total amount greater than this maximum. This is useful if you have a maximum submission amount from TelPay or the bank and can force you to lower the payments in order to get under that maximum.

    EFT Maximum per run that is set to 0.00 means there is no limit.

    ·    The auto Add Entry option has been added to User Preferences for opening a new batch entry screen immediately after saving another entry.

    ·    The check Number Audit List report can now be printed and purged for specific dates or check runs or the most recent check run for printing or EFT.

    ·    Report sets can now be emailed to selected recipients when Adagio DocStore is integrated, with PDF or Excel file attachments for each report. Integration to Adagio Console 9.3A also supports emailing report sets through automation by attaching report PDFs to the automation log email.

    ·    New Vendor fields have been added for Contact and Email addresses for Advice, Payee and PO recipients. Import Vendors supports adding this new information. All email addresses can now be used for finding vendors, either from the vendor list or within transaction entry.

    ·    A new company profile option is available to set a default method for consolidating Ledger transactions after printing the report and is also used if the GL Transactions report is printed and consolidated from a Report Set.

    Problems Fixed

    ·          When a dataset is created or converted using Payables 93B, there is a new Company Profile, Batch/System Check tab option for 'System Check Run Description'. It defaults to: Created by %usr on %dat %tim.

    ·          MultiCurrency: On the System Check Register Report, when a payment was made from a Bank with different currency decimals than the Bank Currency, the Check Amount was printed using the Vendor decimals instead of the Bank decimals.

    ·          MultiCurrency enabled reports with legal-sized output printed directly to PDF no longer cut off part of the right side, when the new AdagioV3PDF driver is used instead of AdagioV2PD

    ·          When Additional Forms were faxed, QIFAXQ data files were created as well as SDFAXQ files.

    ·          If a Report Favorite is created for the System Check Status report, the ePrint report code %BAT may be used to print the System Check Run Sequence number(s).

    ·          If a Manual Check, Payment entry with a Discount was changed to a different Payment type, integrity errors were caused because the Discount Amount was not cleared

    ·          Printing Additional Forms to PDF could create a file that had the wrong check number range as part of the name. This has been fixed.

    ·          Period End and Year End processinghave been updated to warn about System Check Runs that have not been completed.

    ·          If a Report Favorite is created for the Pre-Check Register, the ePrint report code %BAT may be used to print the System Check Run Sequence number.

    ·          Company Profile option, 'Days To Go Back In History When Backdating' set to 0 means that History will not be included in a Backdated Open Payables, Aged Open Payables or Aged Overdue Payables report.

    ·          If an email cannot be sent successfully, an error message with the reason for the failure will be displayed.

    ·          Emailing Additional Forms using Direct method failed when sent Now rather than from the email queue. This has been fixed.

    ·          Consolidate G/L Transactions was not checking if DocStore was enabled for the dataset.  This only affects data that is restored and then has DocStore disabled. An 'Invalid Document Filer Handle' error message would appear.

    ·          These new Specification codes have been added for Printing Checks:

    V90 Vendor advice contact
    V91 Vendor advice email
    V92 Vendor payee email
    V93 Vendor PO contact
    V94 Vendor PO email

    ·          Vendors now have these new fields: 30-character Contact Name and 160-character Email for Advices and for PO. Payee Email has also been added.

    ·          Converting from the earlier versions to latest version of Payables willnow prompt to enable ExcelDirect Printing for all users.

    ·          In MultiCurrency data, if a Vendor was paid from a bank with a different currency and a limit was set on the Check amount, the Pre-Check Register report may have incorrectly stated that a check would not be printed for the vendor when the Check Run would include them.

    ·          Manual check batch posting supports the new EFT maximum setting on the bank where, if the total EFT amount value of the batch exceeds the maximum, submission will be prevented.

    ·          When DocStore is integrated and a System Check run was printed, choosing ‘No’ for everything printing successfully but entering the last check number as good did not generate the PDF Doc Links for the payment transactions. This has been fixed.

    ·          Vendors now have a 'Preferred Advice {Send} Method'. Select this Vendor's preferred way of receiving their Additional Forms from you (eg. Print, Email or Fax). By default, this option is set to Print.

    Additional Forms can have Send methods of Printer, PDF, Email and Fax. The Send method you choose is remembered for the next time you print an Additional form, depending on what has been enabled in the User Preferences - Report Options. Ensure all the appropriate setting(s) are enabled before selecting the Print/Send button.
    There is a 'Match Preferred Send Method' in the Print Additional Forms window. This option works with the 'Preferred Advice Method' dropdown option you set on the Vendor's Accounting tab.

    When enabled, only Vendors having the same Preferred Advice Method set in their record as the setting(s) selected in the Send method field run will be sent the document.

    If a Single check is printed from within a Manual Check batch or when reprinting Additional forms from System Check Runs Inquiry, the 'Match Preferred Advice Method' will be ignored. The exception is Manual Checks for Miscellaneous Vendors. Miscellaneous Vendors will have Print or if DocStore is installed, Print and PDF, available to them.

    When 'Match Preferred Send Method' is disabled, Payables will create documents for Vendors based on their Advice print method option setting(s) on the Vendor's Accounting tab.

    NOTE: A Vendor must meet all criteria specified on the print report window for Additional Forms/Letters to be produced for that Vendor.

    NOTE: Alt/p, Alt/d, Alt/e and Alt/f may be used as keyboard shortcuts to enable or disable the Printer, PDF, Email and Fax Send method options.

    ·          Vendor email addresses are now available for finding vendors, either from the vendor list or within transaction entry. This includes using the new advice or alternate payee email addresses and, if multiple emails separated by semi-colons are stored in a single email field, then any one can be used for finding the vendor.

    ·          Emailing Additional Forms using the Email print option Now and the Email Setup option Outlook was sending the emails as MAPI instead of Outlook.

    ·          The Attachment Count was not being updated correctly in the email queue for Check Advices and Letters.

    ·          If the payment folder specified in an EFT provider does not exist, an Error message appeared during the EFT Batch creation. The fix now creates the payment folder if it does not exist.

    ·          During conversion, based on the state of the Check number audit list, this error may appear: ‘Error finding record with assigned check number, this record will be skipped.’ The message is information only.

    ·          In Vendor Edit/Inquiry, changing tabs back and forth from the Transactions tab went into a loop.

    ·          While you can have unlimited bank codes, the System Check Runs Inquiry can only display 300 of them.

    ·          If the Company Profile, Integration, General Ledger Option for 'Prompt to consolidate?' is not selected, Report sets details for 'Print/Consolidate G/L Transactions' no longer have an option for 'Consolidate?'. A new favorite must be created to see this change.

    ·          In System Check Run, if a pre-check amount maximum was set and a vendor with the One Check per Invoice option enabled had a total invoice amount to pay larger than this maximum, the pre-check register would list no check to be printed, but invoices lower than the maximum would in fact print. Now the pre-check register has a vendor amount range and no checks will print in this scenario.

    ·          System Check Runs Inquiry for Previous Year will allow you to print the Status Report and to print or reprint Additional Forms for System Check Runs that were created in 93B and moved to History by the Year End process.

    ·          If Payables was closed before the 'On start-up' functions were fully displayed, in some cases, there were Access Violations.

    ·          The Print Status date for 'Last Pre-Check Register printed on' is now updated with the System Date instead of the Session Date.

    ·          For a System Check run, on the Payments tab in the Details list, pressing Enter on a highlighted detail will open the Edit Payment window.

    ·          When GridView workspaces are added or removed from the Views folder, you are no longer prompted to update the menu and it happens automatically.

    ·          In MultiCurrency datasets, reversing source currency checks that had a current home equivalent balance of .01 caused an Integrity error: computed home balance does not match stored home balance.

    ·          In Batch Status and System Check Run Inquiries, Batches / Check Runs are displayed in reverse order so that the most current ones are displayed at the top.

    ·          If the data path folder name contained a period, browsing to the folder and double clicking on the global file caused the application to try to create a new dataset with the extension set to the part of the folder name following the period character.

    ·          If a user has access to the Maintain Automation Log feature, they also have the ability to view all of the automation logs for any user.

    ·          New automation command nouns have been added to allow attaching report set PDF/Excel files to the email with the automation log results to allow reports from multiple applications to be attached on a single email. The EmailPDFAutoLog has Overwrite/Attach and Append/Attach nouns to include PDF/Excel files from report sets. Adagio Console 9.3A is required to use this feature.

    ·          When Adagio DocStore is integrated, report sets can now be emailed to selected recipients with PDF or Excel file attachments for each report.

    ·          Dragging PDFs to attach documents within Applied Transaction Details caused an Error.
