Adagio Payables 8.1B

March 17, 2010

Fully compatible with Windows 7. Supports MAPI email interface to Outlook and other mail clients on Windows 7.
The Vendor Name is displayed in uppercase in the Find. This makes it clear that it is not case sensitive.
In Payables 8.1B for multi-currency databases, if you added a vendor and used the default Control Account Set, the currency for the vendor was left blank, causing a data integrity error.
The Action setting (Highlight, View, Edit) on the Find is remembered in the edit and view vendor functions.
When adding a new vendor, the Advice Print Method options are defaulted to on.
The Find button is now always enabled in the batch entry functions. Previously, the Find button was disabled if the vendor number was not blank. This was a problem if the 'Remember Batch Entry' option is on, as in this case the vendor number is only blank for the first entry.
The Find function in batch entry functions now remembers which field you last searched on (vendor number, name or phone).
The File | Options, Field Verification option was removed for Payables 8.1B. Fields are always verified during entry. However, verifying the G/L Account / Department caused a problem at some sites, such as NFPs or others who are departmentalized but don't want to create Accounts for a Department until needed. The option 'Validate ledger account' has been added to the Batch/Vendor tab in the Company Profile to control verification and can be set to 'Account-department', 'Account only-dept on file', Account only' or 'None'.
When the ‘Validate closed periods’ option on the Integration tab in the Company Profile was set to Warn Only or Disable, the warning did not work in Manual Check batch entry, which resulted in an error during posting if the Check Date was in a closed period.
If an invoice was created with a Purchase detail, with a retainage amount (i.e. no job specified) you received an access violation error when the invoice was paid in a manual check batch.
The Bank phone and fax numbers (codes B08 and B09) could not be printed formatted on checks.
Problems have been corrected when the option ‘Reverse cash invoice with check?' (System/Report Options tab in the Company Profile) was set to 'Always'. Reversing a Cash Invoice caused an integrity error in the reversed invoice, resulting in an incorrect balance on the Open Payables report and the Open Payables report incorrectly showed RC transactions when the invoice was reversed with a 'Cash Invoice' manual check.
If the option ‘Reverse cash invoice with check?' (System/Report Options tab in the Company Profile) was set to 'Prompt', in the Check Reconciliation function, multi-selecting and reversing multiple checks when one or more was a Cash Invoice did not prompt for the Cash Invoice in some cases. Now when set to 'Prompt', the 'Reverse cash invoice' option is no longer available when multiple checks are reconciled.
When a discount for early payment was taken on an invoice, the 1099 YTD amount is updated properly for the amount of the check. However, if that check was reversed, the 1099 YTD amount was reduced by the pre-discount invoice amount (original invoice amount), not by the check amount. Thus the 1099 YTD amount was incorrect by the amount of the discount taken.
When a check is reversed the YTD, PTD and LY payments statistic in the vendor are now updated, based on the check date. Adagio Payables 8.1B 2 of 3 AP20100317 17-Mar-2010
In Payables 8.1B, the Pre-Check register did not allow you to blank out the "zzzz"s in the Ending field for the Report Group.
In Payables 8.1B, the Vendor List report printed some lines that should only print when you select "Profile", making the report longer than expected.
In Payables 8.1B, the Aged Retainage report printed blank lines for details rather than suppressing lines when printed in summary form.
When importing from Excel in Payables 8.1B, you received the error 'Error: Error code 1001 on ToXLCreateEx' followed by a message similar to 'Do you want to save the changes you made to 'MyImportFile.xls'?' if the import file was for a version prior to Excel 2003. You no longer receive the 1001 error in this case, although Excel will still ask if you want to save the file. Adagio now uses the Excel program itself to import and export Excel files and this is the way Excel behaves.
When you exported vendors to a CSV file using Payables 8.1B, the carriage return <CR> and linefeed <LF> characters did not work properly at the end of the line. If the file was opened in Excel there was a extra blank row between records.
