General Ledger
New Features
Favorites for a report are now available on the report dialog in a drop-down field. Private Favorites are yellow, Public Favorites are blue. Users with many favorites may find it easier to locate and print them from the report dialog. Users with only a few favorite reports that they print frequently may find it easier to print them from the Favorite Reports fly-out menu under the main Reports menu. The ability to print Favorites from the report dialog allows users to print the Posting Journal from a Favorite when posting batches with the 'Auto print posting journal after post' option enabled.
Added ePrint embedded codes for Session Year Month (%SYM) and Actual Year Month (%DYM) for PDF folders and filenames (these codes expand to YYYYMM).
Added ePrint embedded code Form Type (%FRM) for PDF folder names (expands to "Financial Statements" for Statement Groups and financial statements).
The default Favorite name and default PDF filename for the Favorite, have been changed for certain reports so that at year end Favorites names to not need to be changed. The fiscal year (%FYR) is embedded in the PDF filename but not in the Favorite name. For example, the PDF filename for Posting Journals defaults to GL%FYRPostingJournal%PJN (would expand to "GL2011PostingJournal 100.pdf" for sequence 100). The Favorite name defaults to GLyyPostingJournal (where: yy is PY-Previous Year, CY-Current Year, or NY- Next Year). The reports affected are: Batch Listings, Posting Journals, Batch Status, Detail Listing and Trial Balance.
Report Favorites now remember the printer selected if it is not the Default printer. If you print a Favorite and the stored printer for it doesn’t exist, you get an error message and the printer is reset to the appropriate Default printer (for single or multicurrency).
Ledger 9.0D eliminated unnecessary (redundant) workstation installs for the AdagioPDF printer driver and vitalEsafe if these features had already been installed by the workstation install for another Adagio module. This is now also the case when installing Adagio for use with Remote Desktop Services (Terminal Services in Windows Server 2008 and previous versions).
Problems Fixed
The Folder paths in the company profile for the ePrint are no longer forced to uppercase.
The default PDF report filenames for Posting Journals and Batch Listings now include the %PJN and %BAT replacement strings (respectively) when ePrint is installed so that the files are easier to identify and do not overwrite previous files.
Several minor problems related to ePrint functionality in Ledger have been corrected in this release. If you are using ePrint you should have this Ledger Service Pack installed.
When printing Posting Journals and the Batch Status Report to a file, if the destination path did not exist the report was not written to file and you were not prompted to clear the information. If this happens you are now shown the path and the folder is created on the fly.
In Ledger 9.0D, the Trial Balance printed the Department Description instead of the word "Total" if the 'Page break on change of account' option was selected.
The prior year opening balance on the Detail Listing was reported as “Opening balance” when the 'Include Prior Year Postings' option was checked and there were no current year postings. It should have reported the current year opening balance.
If your fiscal year is not December 31, when you signed-into Ledger with a date that is not equal to the fiscal year identifier (for example, if your yearend is July 31, and you logged in with date between August 1 and December 31), the Current Period/Year used for reports did not pick the actual period, but instead used period 12 from the prior year.
When a posting journal was auto-printed after post, you could not post another batch until you first opened and closed the Ledger database. Instead you received the error message "Unable to access selected function, currently being accessed by [nnn] in [G/L Posting]".
After using the Import Transactions function you were not able to do a backup until you closed and reopened that database.
Purging Batch Status report in Ledger 9.0D was slow in some cases across a network for larger databases. This was related to allowing the recovery of batches. The speed has been improved and a progress bar has been added.
If you un-posted a batch in Next Year, the Current Year Unpost Journal was the journal auto-printed.
In Ledger 9.0D the error count at the bottom of the batch listing was incorrect when the batch contained an error due to a missing account.
When you attempted to add a Report Favorite for a report showing 'Home and Source' to a Report Set you got the error message "Favorite report <name of favorite> requires a multicurrency printer".
If an auto-reversing batch generates an error batch because the next period is closed, the auto-reversing option is now on in the error batch.
The Print/Delete Favorites menu choice was missing from the Reports menu after you deleted a Report Set.
Ledger no longer displays a warning about closed periods when entering Archive batches as you are often preparing a batch for a period that has not yet been opened. Dates are checked when batch is posted after being copied or moved to a Current batch.
The Export Reallocations function added in Ledger 9.0D did not work if you specified a range of a single Department.
The Import Reallocations function added in Ledger 9.0D only imported a small number of records and there were errors for a larger file.
Ledger 9.0D was updated from version 7 to version 8.5 of the Crystal Reports print engine. When installing Adagio for use with Remote Desktop Services (Terminal Services in Windows Server 2008 and previous versions) this necessitated manually copying the crystal folder from the main windows folder to the windows under each user. For example, on Server 2003 you had to copy the crystal folder from C:\windows\ to C:\Documents and Settings\username\windows. This is no longer required. The install and workstation installs will do the copy. The Ledger program will also do the copy if possible, which will avoid the need to do a workstation install in some cases.
When installing Adagio to a computer or server where no Adagio modules had previously been installed, if you installed an Adagio module that does not use the Crystal print engine first (such as Lanpak or GridView), when you installed Ledger you received the error "Adagio has been established on destination folder: [x:\SOFTRAK]. Yet the install cannot detect the corresponding Reports Tables..." and were unable to proceed. If the first module installed uses the Crystal print engine there was no problem.
When running any Adagio module that installs vitalEsafe (or WebSafe as it was previously known as) on a Windows 7 (or Vista) station, in some cases the auto-workstation install ran every time you started the application, even if you had done a workstation install. This happened if the user was not an Administrator on their own machine (the default for a new computer) but rather a Standard user, and User Account Control (UAC) was on, and you had not installed any module with a release date of October 2011 or later and done a workstation install for it on the station. This has been resolved. To resolve this problem for ALL other modules, install any module with a release date of October 2011 or later and do a workstation install for it on the station.
Financial Reporter
New Features
Added .RangeAccount function, for which the SmartSheet will expand the specified account range once for each account in the range, without altering the department range specified. This is useful in cases where you wish to create a row for every account in a range, summarized to the department mask used.
The Adagio Styles (File | Styles in Adagio modules) are available in the Financial Reporter (Format Cells, Based On tab). The Financial Reporter's own Styles, available in earlier versions, are included in the list.
Problems Fixed
A problem occurred in some cases where the QuerySheet function caused cells to display !Error and values returned were incorrect when Next Year was created before closing the Current Year.
The Financial Reporter now detects corruption in the Account Data tree (file GLATREE) and recreates the file. In prior releases this type of corruption caused the error "Adagio Financial Reporter has stopped working".
In Ledger 9.0D, the Financial Reporter was not correctly setting the Paper Size or Orientation of individual statements when printing Statement Groups to printer if the statements had different Paper Sizes and/or Orientations.
Fixed a problem in printing statement groups where multiple copies of the same statement are produced when “All departments” is selected as an option.
