Automatically Apply Credits AgainstEqual Debits

Reference Number: 34884

A process to automatically apply credits against equal debits is now available. The function,AUTO.APPLY.CASH, can run automatically as part of the EXECUTE.DAYEND DJS. If there isan exact match between a credit amount (Payment On Account or Deposit) and a debit amount,a key off transaction will be made. This key off transaction will be the same as if done inAPPLY.CASH and will appear on the standard CASH.JOURNAL report. The ARC file, field 28,Memo field, will be updated with ‘Auto Key OFF’ to identify those ARC records created via thisauto key off process. The ARH file, field 60, Dispute Memo, will also be updated with the dateand “Auto Key OFF”.

AUDIT.LOT.QTY Utility Added Reference Number: 35027

A new audit program is available which will compare total on hand quantities in theLOT.MASTER file to the on hand quantities in the IPL file. AUDIT.LOT.QTY will first buildsummary totals by item in a new file, LOT.SUM.FILE. These totals will then be compared to thecurrent quantities in the IPL file. Discrepancies are printed on an audit report. If you areinterested in using this audit report, please contact Activant Customer Service.

Turbo Order Flag Cleanup Process Reference Number: 35011

A new function is now available to reset the flag that may cause the following error message toappear in order processing functions:

“Cannot access an order which is currently being turbo invoiced.”

When a record is in the invoicing process, a date flag is deliberately set to lock out other usersfrom accessing the same order simultaneously. When the record is properly exited, the datefield is automatically cleared. If the order is not properly exited, for whatever reason, forexample, session closed down, the date field remains valued. When another user tries toaccess that order, the system auto triggers the message: "Cannot access an order which iscurrently being turbo invoiced". This message is an indication for Activant Support to checkwhich files were updated during the invoicing process.

A new function, TURBO.UTILITY, prompts for the order number, and performs file checking. Ifall files have been properly updated, the ‘turbo’ date field will be cleared, and processing canresume. If file update errors were found, a message to call Customer Support will display.
