Enhancements and revisions in Adagio Inventory 8.1E (2014.03.30)
New Features
Full compatibility with Adagio Console. Supports Automation when Adagio Console is installed. Automation allows you to automate many functions in Adagio modules, including posting, importing, printing reports, backup and integrity check, etc. across modules, and view, print or email the results from an automation log.
Adagio ePrint users can view PDFs of Adagio Invoices and OrderEntry invoices and credit notes associated with Shipments and Returns from the Item Inquiry with Sales and Costs function. The documents open in the new Adagio PDF viewer.
Supports the Auto-fill GL account and department options in Ledger 9.1A.
You can now add item notes when adding a new item without having to save the item first.
Added BOM Item and BOM fields to the Transaction History record. These fields are updated by the automatic assembly of master items from Bills of Material during Day End in OrderEntry and/or Import Shipments (typically from Adagio Invoices) if Adagio BoM is installed. The BOM Item field allows you to track which master item the component items were used to assemble. The BOM field allows you to track which BOM created the transactions for both the master item and component items for an assembly in the case of master items with multiple BOMs. The new fields have been added to the ICW81 table and can be used in custom reports created with Crystal Reports for Adagio.
The Edit Bill of Materials and Assemble Master Items screens can now be resized, allowing more component items to be shown.
A grid showing the component items for the master item and BOM Number selected has been added to the Assemble Master Items function. The column editor can be used to show desired fields from the component items on the grid.
Total On Hand, On PO and On Sales Order fields for the master item selected have been added to the Assemble Master Items function. Totals for the master item Location selected are also shown.
The master item Description field is now available in the column editor for the finder in the Assemble Master Items function. This makes it easier when using finders to locate the master item.
The From Location and To Location field names on the Assemble Master Items screen have been changed to Component Loc and Master Loc.
Added ExcelDirect button to the grid in the Edit Physical Inventory function.
The Shade Color for reports found in the Report Options tab in User Preferences now uses the full color pallet rather than just 8 solid colors.
Added a new composite table 'I/C Items Master (1, 2, 3)' to the Inventory dictionary, with a link on vendor to allow GridView views to include the vendor name using Insert Related Column.
Added several new IC specific Styles for use in item filters.
The Data Integrity Check results now include the version/date of the program, for example: "Adagio Inventory 8.1E (140330)".
The Open Data screen can be sized horizontally to allow you to see the full data path.
A 'Report set' button has been added to the toolbar.
The F1 key now launches Help when no windows are open.
New splash screen with an updated look.
The Help | About screen has been redesigned and includes a link to documentation page for the module that shows New Features, What's New video and manuals. It now has a Consultant tab showing the contact information for your Adagio consultant if they have enabled this option at your site.
You can now delete the default import and export templates so they will not be selected accidentally instead of the correct template. If you delete all templates, you will receive a warning and when you reopen the import/export function, the defaults will be restored.
Added Created Date/Time/User fields to the item record for use in grids, finders and GridView.
Grids, filters, and finders now show the lookup values instead of the raw data values for several more typed fields in various tables. The lookup values are also available in GridView when the ‘Translate coded fields’ option is on.
Problems Fixed
You could not remove or edit dates for reorder buckets in the Edit Item function.
If your item number format is single segment, deleting an item with notes, where the item number was not the full length allowed, deleted notes from other items in some cases.
For formatted item numbers, if you added an item in Adagio Inventory (or other modules) by copying and pasting the item number and you inadvertently included a CR/LF, the item was added and could be seen in grids and finders in any module but when selected an error displayed saying "Record not found". This is now prevented. If this has occurred, the Data Integrity Check detects and rebuild removes these items.
PurchaseOrders writes a Sundry vendor code to an IC item if the company profile is set to 'Update IC primary vendor' when creating and saving a PO detail. The Edit Item function verified the Vendor Codes against Payables only and forced a clear if the Vendor field was edited and it contained a Sundry vendor. Sundry vendors are now supported.
The Unit Cost displayed on the Edit Shipment screen was incorrect if you changed the Unit of Measure.
Two character currency codes were not recognized for Alternate Price List items.
In the column editor for the Edit Items function the Qty on SO and Qty on PO fields were reversed.
The Item Dimensions fields on the Units tab in the Edit Item function did not obey the Implied Decimal setting in User Preferences.
The Column Editor was not available on the Notes grid in the Edit Items function and did not show any fields in the View Items function.
Several problems that caused incorrect information on the Backdated Item Valuation report have been corrected.
Item numbers and names were being suppressed on the Item Valuation report that should not have been when printing 'Items by Location', in detail, with 'Restrict to nonzero qtys and costs'.
For the Bills of Material report printed with the 'Include costs' option enabled, the Unit Cost column total was incorrectly printed as the Assembly Cost column total.
With the ''Suppress 0 qty items' option enabled on the Physical Inventory Worksheet report, inactive items were correctly suppressed but were not suppressed when the worksheet was exported to Excel.
If you do not have Adagio Ledger, when you printed the G/L Transaction report and cleared it the error message "Critical Error: [1212] invalid path to data directory" was displayed.
Importing new items in rare cases caused the Data Integrity Check to report the error "reorder summary does not match totals from locations".
Import bill of material causes a Data Integrity Check in some cases..
If you have Adagio ePrint, when converting to 8.1D if you answered Yes to the question asking to enable ePrint, the option, 'Allow PDF print?' was not enabled in the Company Profile.
If you have Adagio ePrint, the message "Do you want to turn on Allow PDF printing for this dataset, and enable PDF Printing for all users?" is displayed the first time you open a database after converting from an earlier version of Inventory. However, if converting from versions earlier than 8.1C, the PDF settings were not made.
Day End created a Payables invoice batch entry where the discount rate percentage was multiplied by 100 if custom terms with a discount were used and the invoice was paid within discount period.
When ‘Warn period end’ is turned on in User Preferences and a period end had been run in the last 30 days, in some cases, a warning was displayed saying period end needed to be run when period ends had been done monthly. The program therefore calculated the period end frequency incorrectly.
The Data Integrity Check reported an error "Size of formatted item does not equal size of segments", if the item number format had leading and trailing separators, for example" #XXX-XXXXXXXXXXXXX:".
The Item Locations Reorder table was not being checked by the Data Integrity Check.
In 8.1D (2012.01.26), the 'Bypass transaction history in DIC?' option did not work - history was always checked.
The 'Warn only' and 'Disallow' options in 'Validate closed periods' in the Company Profile were not respected in the Item Assembly function.
Physical Inventory was using the displayed Average Cost rounded to 2 decimals rather than the calculated Total cost / Qty on Hand to the required precision.
The number of Previously Opened databases (saved by user) was increased from 25 to 100.
When creating a new Security Group in 8.1D (2012.01.26), Report Sets was missing under Edit and there were blank nodes in the menu tree.
In some cases Alt-X exported the grid to Excel when 'Enable SF export' was off in the User.
