Enhancements & Revisions

Adagio Receivables 6.8A

July 12, 2001

Adagio Receivables is now a 32-bit application.
Adagio Receivables now uses the Adagio Data Source (ADS) to interface to the database rather than the Softline Database Interface (DBI)
used in earlier versions of Adagio Receivables. ADS is faster than the DBI in many cases. Some functions in Adagio Receivables may be up
to twice as fast using ADS.
Adagio Receivables now uses Adagio Lanpaks to increase the number of licenses available to access the database in multi-user
installations. Adagio Lanpaks replace the Softline Multi-User Packs (MUPs). The method of licensing used by Adagio Lanpak is different than
the MUP. Refer to the Adagio Receivables or Adagio Lanpak Readme help file for details.
Menu level security has been added. It allows you to restrict users from accessing particular menu functions.
A Backup feature has been added to the File menu. It allows 2 options for backing up your data: 1) Adagio Receivables data only, or 2) all
data for the company. Backup files are saved in standard ZIP format.
The results list for the Smart Finder is now persistent. This allows you to select an item in the list, edit it, and then return to the list to choose
another item, without having to redo the search. In addition, the results list remains persistent across windows in the application, allowing you
to search on one screen and recall the results on another screen.
The results list from the Smart Finder can now be printed. By using the column editor, you can control which fields appear on the print out,
the order of the fields, the width of fields, and the column titles.
An Adagio menu choice has been added to allow you to start other Adagio applications directly from within Adagio Receivables, without
having to login (enter user ID, password and select database) to the application.
Notes have been added to customers. For each customer, you can record unlimited additional comments in a memo field with word-wrap.
You can also record unlimited date and time stamped notes by user for each customer. Spell checking with a customizable dictionary is
provided for all notes. Notes can be viewed during batch entry and can be printed on the Customer Notes report or optionally on the
Customer List and Statistics report.
Import invoice and cash batches has been added.
Import and export templates can now be printed.
GL details are now captured and retained when batches are posted. Drill down to the GL details from transactions in the Edit Customer and
Customer Inquiry functions has been added. In addition, GL details can be printed on the Customer Transaction report.
The fax queue listing can now be printed on a report. This is useful for dealing with incomplete faxes.
Faxes in the fax queue can now be printed to a printer. Use this feature to print and then mail statements that did not fax, rather than
rerunning the Print Statements function and selecting them one at a time to reprint.
Fax dialing now handles local numbers requiring an area code but not the “1”.
Faxing statements from Adagio Receivables is now supported on Windows NT and Windows 2000.
Invoice and credit note batches can now be retrieved from Adagio OrderEntry and ACCPAC® Plus™ Order Entry. Previous versions
required you to use the ‘Direct’ to A/R batch option. Now batches can be retrieved from a remote Order Entry.

Report Groups can now be maintained on file and verified during entry of customers.
A Batch Status Inquiry has been added.
A company wide aging inquiry has been added.
A customer inquiry has been added. This enables you to use the new menu level security feature to restrict users from adding or editing
customers while allowing them to view customer information.
All reports in Adagio Receivables have been extensively enhanced, and a Report Options function has been added. New report features
include:
a) optional footers containing name of user, print date and time (as opposed to the login date) and comment
b) an optional comment can be entered in the report dialog and will appear in the footer
c) shading with user-defined color has been added to headers, footers and sub-totals
d) lines and hair-lines have been added to separate sections and transactions for improved readability
e) date formats are now user-defined for the header/footer and detail sections
f) time format is now user-defined
g) an option to show selection parameters on only the first page or all pages
h) an optional group tree at left of the report preview window allows you to drill down to find particular transactions on the report.
Reports have been designed to use less paper. For example, smaller fonts are used where appropriate, detail headings are only repeated
when necessary, and header and detail are placed side-by-side when possible.
Batch reports include the option “Paging by batch number” to reset the page number to 1 on change of batch when printing two or more
batches at the same time.
The option “Page break on change of batch” has been added to start a new page after each batch when printing two or more batches at the
same time.
Batch Listings can now be printed in summary as well as detail format.
Posting Journals can now be printed in summary as well as detail format.
GL account summaries have been added to all posting journals.
A “Listing” button has been added to the batches screen to allow you to select and print batches from the grid rather than having to use the
Reports menu.
Minor problems in aging reports have been fixed.
The Statement Designer now allows you to view each copy (page) of a multi-part statement independently, to easily differentiate fields that
appear only on one of the copies.
You can now calculate and view the aging for outstanding transactions when viewing or editing a customer.
The customer balance is now shown on the Transactions screen when viewing or editing a customer.
A hint showing the path to the database has been added and is displayed when the mouse cursor is over the company name on the status
bar.
An option to allow statements to be printed only for customers with a balance over a certain amount has been added.
Options to display text and raised buttons on the toolbar have been added.
The selected line on grids now changes color from blue to gray when the grid does not have focus. This provides a better visual cue that the
grid is not active (up / down arrow and Enter keys are not active), and that some other button or field has focus.
The Smart Finder now allows you to search on boolean fields (Yes/No). To search on a boolean, enter “1” for “Yes” and “0” for “No.
After creating a new user, the user could not log in until you edited the user record and reentered the password. This has been corrected.
In previous versions, an error could occur in some cases if a button was clicked a second time because it appeared that there was no
response on the first click. This has been corrected.
Deleting a customer now deletes the customer’s history and matching records in all cases.
The integration tab in the company profile is not disabled when there are open batches.
The option ‘Include batch in G/L description’ has been added to the company profile. This allows you to send the entire description field from
the transaction to the GL by not including the batch information (sequence, batch and entry number) in the description field.
If smart finder was used to locate an account with a department, the account and department field were both loaded into the account field
instead of to the account and department. This has been corrected.
Job related invoices were not written to the Job Costing batch and could not be retrieved by Job Costing. This has been corrected.
If cash applied to an invoice does not completely pay the invoice, or if it overpays the invoice, the amount printed on the statement was
wrong. This has been corrected.
Minor problems in statements have been fixed.
On a cash receipt, if you entered a discount greater than zero when the applied amount already equaled the amount outstanding (a data
entry error), the discount amount was posted anyway. This is now prevented.
