Adagio Payables 8.1A

August 21, 2008

Added new specification code 'G06 G/L Account' in the Check Designer to print the GL expense account / department when a Distribution Code is used.
New check specification field 'A23 MICR Check Number/Account Encoding' has been added to more easily get the correct spacing between the 2 fields rather than using the separate fields for Check Number and Account Encoding. The cheque specification has been updated in the sample data for Canadian Payments Association Standard 006 (AP$CPA01, 02, 03). The default CPA specs have been updated for the Designer.

Adagio Payables includes an additional 8 MICR fonts (for a total of 9) that may be used to adjust for slight variations detected in the MICR font when cheques are submitted for Canadian Payments Association Standard 006 compliance (an optional test available in Canada). Differences in printer drivers, printer rasterization engines and toner adhesion may result in failure of the test in the MICR font (while the cheques have been clearing successfully at the bank).

The additional fonts let you create narrower or wider and/or lighter or bolder characters in MICR fields on the check according to the following table (the font name is show on the second line of each cell). Note that these fonts are only needed in Canada. The MICR font provided with Adagio Payables since its initial release in 1999 has always been accepted by banks in the US and conforms to the 'Check 21 Act' enacted in October 2003.

The default MICR font (AdagioMICR) has been adjusted slightly.
Pennies printed on both Line 1 and Line 2 in some cases depending on the offset and length of Amount in Words field.
Printing 1099s now defaults to 2 forms per page.
The spacebar now works when entering Payment details for a manual check. Previously you had to edit each detail. For Cash Invoices, spacebar on and existing detail will give a message and then delete it. For a Prepayment, spacebar will show the message and then clear the Prepayment amount but not the Invoice Number.
In rare cases on multi-currency data, the Aged Cash and Aged Payables reports incorrectly reported a duplicate transaction.
An error occurred with clearing the Revaluation Posting Journal in some cases.
The Check Reconciliation report did not print certain alphanumeric 'cleared' checks.
Tax Status, Tax Group, and Price List fields have been added to the Vendor import and export templates. These fields may be used by Purchase Orders programs.
