actual cost (i.e. flat shipping fee regardless of the number of shipments, or lower shipping costs due
to smaller deliveries). This report is the first in a series of new reports aimed at assisting data
managers to easily track down erroneous data and ensure data quality, especially during month-end

companies listed in contact management. Running the report now, with the same options, will only return
companies approved to sell to.

to a central respository on the server (new menu item Status->Files) or to attach any file type to most
entities within the system (stock, customers, suppliers, vendors, manufacturers, stock, sales orders,

attach a variety of useful documents to the data records (pictures of received stock, line cards,
scans of customer purchase orders, supplier invoices, airway bills, etc).

added which allows you to configure whether shipping should be factored into GP calculations. This

setting. All other reports do not include shipping.

have this functionality are: Contact Management, Companies, Divisions, Security Groups, Users, Warehouses,
Countries, Currencies, Products, Shipping Methods, Taxes, Terms, Company Types, Communication Log Types,
Packages, Reasons and Salutations.
Upload company and division headers. Both the company and division setup screens now have the option
to upload the standard and invoice headers. This aviods having to manually copy the headers into the
proper folder location on the server and allows for easier remote administrator of the system.

trying to ship a sales order with a shipping account number longer than thirty characters. All account
number fields have been standardised throughout the system.

be displayed error.
FIXED - Work time for a scheduled task does not have 0 as an option.

that show "View Receipt" are linking to a received PO that is in no way related to the parts on the
invoice.
FIXED - Delete doubles daily status report almost always times-out. The timeout has been extended to
make sure that the report can run successfully.
FIXED - Unable to tab into the quantity shipped field when manually adding invoice line items.

notes.

it will be added to this most recently accessed tile available from every homepage view.

limit is 30 characters.
Etrack now uses DSN-less connections as its default setting.

FIXED - GP miscalculation on Statistic homepage tile. Sales orders that were partially shipped against
multiple allocations or partially shipped with multiple outstanding allocations would yield discrepancies
on the GP calculations. The problem was isolated to the homepage, all other GP reports were accurate.

originally reported for the Stock screen but affected certain select boxes system wide.
FIXED - Vendor and Directory contact summary details on left side of screen are white and illegible
instead of black.
FIXED - Adding a new sales order line item "From Sales Orders" shows sales orders with no line items.

order line items "From Purchase Orders".
FIXED - Shipping and receiving email notifications raise errors Seven if the transaction has completed.
If an SMTP error was encountered when trying to send the email notifications, the products would still be
shipped or received properly, but the user would get an error which was interpreted as a failed transaction.
If email notifications cannot be sent the transaction runs through and no longer returns an error.
FIXED - Continued failure to send Delete Doubles Daily Status Report causes too many emails to be sent
to the system administrator. The Delete Doubles will now only try to run the Status Report once a day,
whether it failed or not.
FIXED - Duplicate logins from different terminals raises errors when using non-standard HTTP ports
(anything other than port 80).

miscalculated GPs. Services can only be added now from the "From Services" menu item. The "From Sales
Orders" option will only show products.
FIXED - All open sales orders reports are using the exchange rate on the date ordered instead of the
current one, which could, in some cases, be different. This affects the GP calculations on the following
reports: Summary Booked Orders (by Customer, Division and Salesperson), Summary Open Orders (by Customer,
Division and Salesperson), Open Sales Order (Standard and for a Salesperson) as well as the Company Profile
Report and the Statistics tile on the Homepage.

and detailed status and progress indicators. Once upgraded, please make sure to review the configuration
screen as old settings will not be migrated.

notes and debit notes) now show the tax rate next to the tax name (ex: VAT @ 17.5%).
