New Enhancements
Recently Completed:
- E-mail
Groups. This feature allows you to define groups for
intra-company e-mail. Sending the message to the group will
send
it to each group member. So, for example, you can set up
groups
for each branch, for the buyers, for accounting, etc.
- Over the years,
some users have complained that you answer the Backorder? question on
the order header before you know what's out of stock. Sometimes
whether or not the customer will accept a B/O depends on the items in
question. With this in mind, a new (optional) Backorder
Confirmation screen can come up at the end of orders that contain
unfilled line items. Whether you do this is controlled by a new
system parameter with several options.
- A new screen for
entering cash deposits on orders has been added. This screen
should be easier to use for new employees than the miscellaneous line
item screen. It also ensures that the misc account number is
entered properly (this is also now stored in a new system
parameter). The screen also displays the more popular deposit
amounts (25-33-50-100%).
- On-line
maintenance for TVA-DATA, which controls the Trade Service vendor
abbreviations, is now provided for.
- You now have the
option on the IA81 screen to correct the
"frozen" end of your unit cost.
- When you apply
credit memos using the AR02 screen, it will now create a separate debt
relief record for each invoice you apply to. This will allow you
to do a CI30 inquiry on the credit and see all the invoices it was
applied to.
