Program Temporary Fix

Accounts Receivable 6.1A

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

  • Setting of default maximum date for "Customer list and statistics" report to 2009.
  • Correction for import of customer start dates prior to 1990 to be interpreted as 19xx.
  • This PTF corrects the following problems that some users encountered after importing cash and applying it to transactions:
    • Integrity problems were reported on cash transactions (found when running the integrity checker).
    • Records to which the cash transactions were applied (such as invoices or other transactions) were missing from the Customer Transactions Report or from the Customer Transactions Inquiry screen.
    • Check exchange rates were incorrect if importing from 5.0 or 6.0 file formats. The rates used were based on the system date, not on the dates of the transactions.
    • The word "Check" appeared as "Cheque" (which is the Canadian spelling).
  • This PTF corrects the following problems with the Import Customers function:
    • New customer records imported without the "Account type" field were always created as open item accounts. With this PTF, the customer account type on new customer records will now be the default choice in the company profile.
    • Dollar amounts were not imported properly for records imported in continuous format.
    • Importing previously exported customer statistics changed positive values to negative values for customer payment, credit, and discount statistics.
  • In the released version of Accounts Receivable, some users found unbalanced journal entries in the general ledger batch when posting a recurring charge invoice batch. This problem occurred only with multicurrency databases and only when the recurring charge transaction contained zero amount distributions that were followed by non-zero distributions. This problem has been fixed.
  • This PTF corrects a situation where the Create Recurring Charge Batch function created a zero detail line entry in the batch when the distribution code and general ledger accounts for the charge record did not exist.
  • This PTF corrects the following problems with invoice entry:
    • The customer code could not be changed. You can now change the customer code as long as the new customer is of the same currency as the original customer.
    • Terms were not updated properly when editing a previously entered batch and changing the transaction date of an entry.
  • This PTF corrects the following problems with retrieving a multi- currency invoice transaction:
    • The retrieved rate could not be edited in the Add/Modify/Delete Invoice Batches function.
    • The program set the rate operation to "Multiply" and date matching to "Exact," in many situations, rather than to the operation and matching defined by the rate table.
    • The original invoice rate on a credit or debit note was incorrect, along with the original invoice number.
  • This PTF corrects the following problems with importing invoice transactions:
    • The tax code detail was always 0 if the distribution field was blank and the profile option "Allow edit of tax code" was off.
    • The program set the rate operation for multicurrency transactions to "Multiply" and date matching to "Exact," in many situations, rather than to the operation and matching defined by the rate table.
  • In the current release, some users found that aging by due date per customer was actually aging by transaction date. This problem has been fixed in this PTF.

In addition, the following changes have been made in this PTF:

  • In Delete Inactive Customers, the last activity date entry field has been changed to four-digit year entry.
  • In Add/Modify/Delete Customers, the start date entry field has been changed to four-digit year entry.

    Several more changes have also been made to this function:
    • If a user attempts to add a new customer without entering an account set, an error message appears and the user must enter the account set.
    • In the previous version of Accounts Receivable, the default credit from the account set did not update the credit limit field in the Add/Modify/Delete Customers function. The credit limit field is now updated.
    • On the statistics screen, the "Total Days To Pay" and "Total Paid Invoices" fields have been increased to five digits.
    • When integrated with Order Entry standalone system, the Price List Code finder field in the Order Entry Information section was disabled. This is now enabled.
  • In Display Customer Information, the Start Date display field has been changed to a four-digit year.
