Hello all,

Adagio Inventory 9.3A (191023) has been released. This Upgrade includes the following New Features:

• Adds 9.3A features including enhanced backup options, improved Column Editor field selection, launch of 64-bit GridView and automatic refresh of Sample Data. Compatible with Adagio DocStore so documents can be attached to transactions and flow to other modules for review. Documents attached in Inventory are filed by Transaction Type (Receipt, Shipment, Transfer, Assembly or Adjustment).
• Barcodes are fully supported, with barcode entry available wherever an item code is requested. Barcodes can include a different Unit of Measure or Item Description if desired. Multiple barcodes may point to a single item. Barcodes can be imported and exported.
• Improved editing of Alternate Price List items by allowing display of only a single price list.
• Reason Codes have been added to all transaction entry dialogs and are stored in the transaction history file for further analysis.
• Transaction level Optional Fields have been added to record additional site specific information at the transaction level.
• Multi-user entry is available for all transaction types. Transactions can be reviewed, edited and printed prior to posting. Multi-select is available when choosing transactions to post, delete or print. User date/time stamps are now recorded on all transactions. Posting Journals are not purged until year end.
• ExcelDirectPrint is available for the Stock Card Report so Item movement can be easily sent to Excel for analysis.
• Item Assemblies can now be imported, allowing BoM lists to be maintained externally.

Note:
The Inventory 9.3A install downloads packages for a new version of the Crystal Reports runtime for .NET (SP25) and AdagioV3PDF, a new version of the printer driver (novaPDF 10). In some cases there may be an error downloading either of these packages and they will not be installed. If this happens, start Inventory and it will do an auto-workstation install that should download and install these packages. Or run the workstation install from \SOFTRAK\Inventory\WKSETUP\WKSETUP.EXE.

Read the Install section in the Release Notes for special install instructions. As this is a complex Upgrade requiring Workstation installs, we strongly recommend contacting your Adagio consultant to assist in this Upgrade.

There is a video describing the new features available here.

For future consideration to Adagio Consultants and end users, please do not consider announcing any type of complex upgrades prior to a natural year end such as December 31. There are still a large number of businesses that have December 31 year ends.

While you might think that it is nice to show that you are delivering upgrades to your Softrak solution, no one should consider installing this module within several weeks of their year end unless Softrak is planning to be in your offices (which you are not) and available to support the product in the days preceding Year End inventory counts, in the event that something doesn't work exactly as planned.

Even though there is fairly strong wording to get help to do this install, you are not benefiting anyone who might think that you are recommending that they install this module upgrade when the upgrade is announced.
