Accounts Payable 6.1A

This PTF corrects the following problems which can arise in the released version of Accounts Payable 6.1A:

  • Correction to allow main menu access when security is on.

Previous Changes

  • Convenience changes to date ranges, minimum date set to 1990, maximum date now set to 2009, so that editting the date field is not required.
  • This PTF corrects problems encountered by users of some network interface cards when using ACCPAC programs and data on a server. The following functions may have been affected:
    • Invoice Posting
    • Post Adjustment Batches
    • Post Clear Check Rec
    • Post System Checks
    • Post Manual Checks
    • Post Revaluation
    • Year End
    • Period End

For example, some users reported problems saving multiple distribution details in Add/Modify/Delete Invoice Batches or Add/Modify/Delete Adjustments. In these cases, users reported one or more of the following symptoms:

  1. Only one distribution in an entry was saved, although several may have been entered.
  2. Source codes were lost (this was evident when using the Print/ Consolidate G/L Transactions function).
  3. One of the following messages appeared: "Error. Added totals different from saved totals for entry." or "Error. Added totals different from saved totals for batch."
  • This PTF corrects the formatting of the job number's job, phase, and category codes.
  • This PTF contains DynaView dictionaries which correct the problems associated with linking to non-multicurrency databases. The message "DV: Cannot define link - invalid dictionary record length." appeared in some cases when linking to a specific file.
  • This PTF contains corrections for the French check language file. The new APXFREN1.LD4 French language file prints four-character French month abbreviations instead of the three-character English month abbreviations in the APXFRENC.LD4 file.
  • This PTF contains a new Spanish check language file, Australian check language file, and Mexican check language file. The Mexican checks have been altered to include the characters "M.N." Also, if you do not want the currency symbol on Mexican checks, you can use specification code %A5 instead of %A1 on checks.
  • This PTF changes AP to allow you to reverse home-currency checks when using a multicurrency database. This applies to checks which have been transferred to the history file.
  • This PTF contains modifications to the 6.0 import format to relax the requirements for a successful import. Note, however, that any error conditions which appear during import must be corrected in AP before posting the batch.
  • This PTF corrects problems you may have had when using the vendor payee file: for example, an integrity checker phase 1 error.

In addition, the following changes have been made to Accounts Payable:

  • In Add/Modify/Delete Vendors, the start date entry field has been changed to four digit year entry.
  • In Delete Inactive Vendors, the last activity date entry field has been changed to four digit year entry.
  • In Display Vendor Information, the start date display field has been changed to four digit year display.
