Program Temporary Fix

Order Entry 6.1B

This PTF corrects the following problems which can arise in the released version of Order Entry 6.1B:

Note: If you are using both Order Entry and ScanPAC, do not install this Order Entry PTF disk. Instead, install only the ScanPac PTF disk.

  • Minor convenience changes for Y2K. Default dates for the Order Action Report and the Order History report has be set to 2009, so that editting the date is not necessary when scrolling through the field.
  • Fixes the problem of year 2000 when printing order confir- mations, picking slips, invoices and credit notes. It also allows IC65 now. There are 2 new specification codes for printing invoice/order totals in home currency.
  • Code E4.H displays order/invoice total in home currency. As is the case with spec code E4, which is the base for E4.H, the display depends on the type of the record displayed. If it is an invoice, E4.H (and E4) displays invoice total (tax included). If it is an order, E4.H (and E4) displays order total (without tax). Both E4 and E4.H can be used in HEADER, DETAIL and FOOTER sections.
  • Spec code F1.H is the same as spec code E4.H, but it can be used only in the FOOTER section.
  • The program now allows characters from the extended character set (such as accented characters) in a specification file.
  • If you had the Allow Quantities Shipped On Orders option set to Yes, under certain conditions if you posted a sales order, edited the order and shipped quantities, posted the edited order, then recalled the order and posted it as an invoice, incorrect quantities may have appeared in your inventory. The correct quantities now appear.
  • If you had the Allow Quantities Shipped On Orders option set to Yes, taxes on user-defined cost fields may have been calculated incorrectly if you shipped quantities and posted a sales order, then later recalled the order and created an invoice. These taxes are now calculated correctly.
  • If you use Inventory Control 6.1B with Order Entry, you may have encountered an error message, "Item not active at this location," under the following conditions, even though the item was available:
    • If you used the Add/Modify/Delete Locations or Edit Item Locations function to assign an item to a location, AND
    • You have the Allow Inventory Levels To Be Less Than Zero option set to Yes, AND
    • You tried to enter an order.

    This message no longer appears.

  • If you had the Allow Inventory Levels To Be Less Than Zero option set to Yes, and were auto invoicing a previously posted order, you may have seen an error message, "Unable to ship all items," and found that some quantities and costs were out by a factor of 10,000. This message no longer appears, and quantities and costs are correct.
  • If you select "Use orders that have (Totally shippable) items" on the Order Action screen, the Order Action report now includes all orders that are totally shippable. (In previous versions, some orders may not have appeared on the report, even though sufficient stock was on hand.)
  • The Integrity Checker has been modified to prevent an incorrect error message from appearing. It has also been modified to correctly calculate quantities on sales order by location.
  • New specification codes have been added to Order Entry version 6.1B. These codes allow you to print tax amounts on invoices in your home currency, even if the invoice items are in another currency. After you install the new version of Order Entry, you can use the following specification codes:

  • If you use the calculate by invoice total option in the company profile, and you use a maximum tax in the jurisdictions of your tax group, you may have encountered a situation in which the tax amounts in the tax summary report and the tax tracking report are incorrect. These tax amounts are now calculated correctly.
  • Fixes the problem of year 2000 when printing order confirmations, picking slips, invoices and credit notes.
  • Allows IC65 now.
  • There are 2 new specification codes for printing invoice/order totals in home currency.

Code E4.H displays order/invoice total in home currency. As is the case with spec code E4, which is the base for E4.H, the display depends on the type of the record displayed. If it is an invoice, E4.H (and E4) displays invoice total (tax included). If it is an order, E4.H (and E4) displays order total (without tax). Both E4 and E4.H can be used in HEADER, DETAIL and FOOTER sections.

Spec code F1.H is the same as spec code E4.H, but it can be used only in the FOOTER section.
