Customer Invoices will automatically send the email / PDF when the Process button is clicked. The Process and Email button has been removed (to avoid confusion).

The behaviour of the Job buttons on the Quote screen and the Quotes Management screen have been made consistent. It is no longer possible to invoice an Insurance Job if the Insurance Company details are not entered in the Job first. It is no longer possible to transform the Insurance Quote directly into an Invoice; it must be transformed into a Job first. When Invoicing an Insurance Job as per Quote and there are serial number tracked items on the Quote, the item must be assigned to the Job line before clicking Invoice Now if it is to be removed from stock. |
12535 |

12710 |
POS |
|
- The Print POS Docket pop up that appears on the POS screen when the POS defaults are set to print invoices in True Type layout has been modified from a drop-down to a list where the font size has been slightly reduced in order to display the complete name of the available layouts. The layout selected as default is still the one showing as highlighted when the pop up appears. |
12562 |
- It is no longer possible to recall a saved/held invoice that includes Build Ups from the POS screen. A POS user can re-open a pending invoice and process it, but it must be done from the Invoices Management screen.

12570 |

Products |
|

12397 |
- A problem where products from Pricebooks used on Quotes were bringing up the Best Rate Warning has been corrected. |
12514 |
- The Product Exception report has been improved to be more specific, to filter only certain types of errors and allow better reporting. It has the Product Code and Product Group as selection parameter ranges. It can be sorted by Product Code - or by the error / exception code in which case each error will start on a new page. The Margin check for each price level will check that the price is not zero, that the margin is within the parameter range and if there are quantity breaks that they are logically incremental. The GL Account Link Checks confirm that the Sales, Purchases and Closing Inventory GL accounts exist and are valid, that they match the Product Group setting if it exists and that they are of the appropriate GL type/function. The Cost Price Checks confirms that a latest cost exists and where average costing is used that the average cost exists. The Type Classification Checks confirms that the Product Type exists and is valid and matches the Product Group setting if it exists. The Group Classification Checks confirms that the Product Group exists and is valid. The Sub-Group Classification Checks confirms that the Product Sub-group exists and is valid, and the Product Group matches the setting if it exists. The Customer Item Type confirms that the Customer Item exists and matches any Product Type, Group or Sub-group setting that is entered. Currently NONE or DEFAULT can be accepted. The Quantity Checks confirms that non-tracked items and inactive items do not have stock quantities and that serial tracked items have serial number quantities that match the on-hand quantities. The Settings Checks confirms that the settings related to serial tracking and multiple serial tracking numbers match the Product Group setting. It also checks that no Product Codes are duplicated. |
12642 |
- The Product Movement report has been updated to include a column for the stock turn. |
12643 |
- A check for error "File '...\pb000000.dbf' does not exist." Has been added which stops it from occurring. |
12669 |
- A new option has been added to the Settings tab in the Product screen called "Stop all Purchases". This setting stops the user from entering the product on a new Purchase Order line or on the line of a Manual Order from the Products menu. It also stops the Auto-Order processes from adding the product to the order. If the product was put on order before the setting is changed, it will still remain in the original order and can be received. The option only stops the ordering action, not the receipt; therefore, it will NOT stop the user from adding the product on a New/Receive Purchase Order either. This field has also been added to the available fields to import into on import routines for data type Products. |
12694 |
Purchase Orders |
|
- Previously when freight was entered into the freight field on a Purchase order and then processed as received, the freight component would not display on the printed copy of the Purchase order. Printing the Purchase order will now show the freight component. |

- An error occurring on the Purchase Order receipt screen when the date field was left empty has been corrected. |
12640 |

12619 |
- The shortcut for the 'Remove All Discounts' button of Quotes has been corrected by replacing it with Alt+R in order to stop conflict with the shortcut for the 'Delete Line' button (Alt+D). |
12682 |
Staff |
|
- When the Terms and Pricing option is removed from a staff member access, they are no longer able to make any changes to the Group on a Customer or access the drop-down selection as this would give them access to the Discount Matrix setup. |
12558 |
- New fields have been added to the Manage Staff screen on the Product Map tab. These fields allow to set the normal working hours for each day of the week and also to set up which are the Standard Labour codes for the staff (codes displayed on the lookup screens are restricted to Product Codes set as Job Management Type "STAFF"). These fields have been added to aid in recording information that can be used on custom reports and exports. There are no standard reports or exports at the moment in the software that use the information in these fields. |

12641 |
- V8.460 will require installation on the server and on workstations as the IBSMAIN.EXE and SPROCKIT.EXE now check the version numbers of the workstation and server. If the version of the executable on the server and the workstation are not the same the application will advise you which one is the oldest and needs updating. Until both are the same the application will not be able to be launched from that workstation. |
12616 |
- The upgrade process of this version will analyse data referring to Job Deposits received in previous versions and create adjustments if necessary. For systems with GST set to Payment Basis (Cash), it has been found that: Refunded Job Deposits did not have the corresponding GST reversal recorded. A report called "GST Adjustments - Job Deposit Refunds" will be generated. For systems with GST set to Invoice Basis (Accrual), it has been found that: Refunded Job Deposits did not have the corresponding GST reversal recorded. A report called "GST Adjustments - Job Deposit Refunds" will be generated. Job Deposits received had the GST claimed in full at the time of receipt, instead of having the GST claimed when they were applied to invoices, and available balances of these deposits have been found still unapplied. A report called "GST Adjustments - Job Deposits" will be generated. In both cases above, the lines included on the corresponding reports will be added to the current GST report to allow them to be claimed in the next tax return. If any of these adjustments have already been accounted for manually in the past, they will have to be removed from the total of the next GST Return. The Adjustment Reports generated are automatically printed to the default printer and saved as PDF on a subfolder of Infusion during the upgrade progress. There will be a record in the Audit Trail if any of the reports are generated and what the path the PDF was saved to is. |
