When I open a dataset after upgrading from OE 8.1C to 8.1D, the question to convert comes up. What exactly is being converted? Will this conversion break compatibility with ACCPAC Plus?

Thanks

Hi Steve,

OE81D added filters, which can be applied to either Current or Historical documents. These fields had to be added to the document extension files, thus the requirement for a data conversion.

Another change is that OE81D now writes to Inventory History and SalesAnlaysis retrieval directly from Day End, rather than printing and purging the invoice/credit note audit lists. So if Accpac Plus OE is used at the same time as Adagio OE, they should NEVER print and purge the OE audit lists in Accpac Plus, otherwise IC and SA information will be duplicated. Or perhaps more technically, never run Day End with one version of OE and print/purge the audit list with the other version.

You should check out the OE readme file for 'Considerations for Accpac Plus users' for a full break-down - access this information at the bottom of the 'Important notes' page.
