Feature Enhancements and Revisions by Version

2002

Version	Item	Description
1.60E	New	Now printing the phone number for the customer under the "Ship To" address on receipts and invoices.
1.60E	Fix	Fixed the receipt to print payment reference numbers greater than 8 characters. Properly printing quantity totals greater than 9999 on inventory reports. Now allowing the program to load when installed on a workstation with a shortcut pointing to a root drive. Other minor fixes.
1.59E	Fix	Items entered as "Products" on a Contract were not properly setting the price on an Invoice. Fixed now.
1.58E	New	Revised all receipt and thermal tag printing to bypass the installed printer driver for the printer. This eliminates the need to install the "Generic/Text Only" driver and problems with Ithaca and Star receipt printers feeding extra paper. A new file recovery process has been implemented to help fix corrupted data files. The process also reports the level or success or failure of a particular file after the recovery process completes - providing some level of confidence going forward. This new process also works properly with Windows XP. Added support for smaller price tag labels for the Eltron printer. These new labels are smaller than the current label that is supported. A 1.25"x1.00" is now supported as well as a jewelry label.
1.58E	Fix	Fixed a problem with adding new items to a drop list on the Style and Product Forms. If a new item was added to a drop list, and then the tab was switched to the "2. More" tab, the newly added item in the drop list would no longer be selected. Fixed now.
1.57E	New	Revised receipts and invoices to not print the full credit card number for credit cards processed through ICVerify. The credit card slip printed for the customer to sign still prints the full credit card number in case verification by the processor is required. The payment entry screen now shows the amount per period when payroll deduction is selected. Added two new reports: the Hospital Sales Payment Summary, and the Hospital Sales Payment Detail. These reports are used to illustrate each payment made on an invoice (including payroll deduction). Added thermal printer support for Zebra printers using the ZPL language.
1.56E	New	New Report Features! Added an option to all sales and payment reports to run the report for a single customer, selected customers, or all customers. Added support for 8 digit UPC barcodes.
1.55E	Fix	In rare instances, the Cash Flow report could report the taxable sales total incorrectly in the Sales area of the report. This only occurred when the sub total on the invoice was zero, but a nontaxable item was returned for a taxable item. The proper number was previously reported in the Sales Tax Totals area of the report. Fixed Now. Revised the DOS convertor program to remove single quotes from style number if they exist.
1.54E	New	Added a Journal Entry Report and QuickBooks export. This report provides a summary of all the information you need to make a journal entry into any accounting package to provide a complete financial picture of your business. The QuickBooks export creates a QuickBooks *.iif file that will allow your to import the journal entry directly into QuickBooks without any data entry. Importing your data will create any necessary accounts. You also have the option to create Bills in QuickBooks from your purchase order receipts. Either of these two options can be run by selecting Reports > Sales > Journal Entry/Accounting Export. ** Please note that we advise that you make a backup of your QuickBooks data file before importing the *.iif file.
1.54E	Fix	Network printers defined with an IP address were not displayed in the available printers in W2K. Fixed Now. Selecting the calendar button would not place the cursor on the date field associated with the control. Fixed now. FIFO inventory reporting did not work properly on several inventory reports if the quantity in stock was greater than 255. Fixed for all reports. Work order notes added to an item on a "New" invoice did not get saved. They did save when modifying an invoice. Fixed Now. When receiving items for a special order with work required, the field that tracked the total work required on the invoice did not get updated. Fixed Now.
1.53E	Fix	PDT uploads into Physical Inventory would not accept quantities from keyboard input - only serial input. Fixed Now. The color locator on the Item List did not work if the number of entries in the List did not occupy the available space in the list box. Fixed Now. Item Lookup screens where the type of inventory item was selected did not save the last item type when the OK button was selected. This was used to prime new adds for the next item added. Fixed Now. Fixed thermal tag printing with Win2K and Service Pack1.
1.52E	New	The data recovery process has been improved to provide more information about files that are recovered. After running a file recovery process, the user is now notified when a file is recovered with a discrepancy in the number of records before and after the recovery process. The recovery process also shows the current file being processed in the lower left status bar of the application.
1.52E	Fix	Fixed a problem with Payments getting cleared in Payment Entry. Anytime payments were entered sequentially using the Next button, and the user issue credits or a paid out, then took another payment, the payments would unapply when the OK or Next button was selected the first time. Fixed Now. Stations that are set to pull items from stock after the entry of a special order will now always prompt the user to pull items. Previously the user would be prompted to deliver items if non-inventory items were on the special order. Revised receipts to print properly with Win2K and USB printers. The first character on the line was missing.
1.51E	New	Added new reports: Opens Special Orders and Open Special Orders Detail. These reports list all open orders sorted by customer for a range of dates. The reports can be run for all customers, tagged customers, or one customer. The Detail report list each open item. The Specials to Deliver Report has been revised to show both the quantity open on the special order and the quantity ready for delivery.
1.51E	Fix	Fixed a problem with the Sales List. The Sales List could lock-up if the user pressed the Enter Key more than once to select an item for update. This primarily occurred with Windows XP, although pressing the Enter key 3 or more times in rapid succession with Windows 9x could also cause the problem to occur. Fixed Now. Multi-Store: Fixed a minor issue with invoices where ownership is transferred to another store where special order items are split onto separate orders, and items on a Sales invoice are special orders. In this scenario, the sales tax total on a revision could be off by 1 cent.
1.50E	New	Added 2 new reports: AP by Date Paid Detail and AP by Date Paid Summary. The detail report can be used to provide a vendor with the detail of how to apply the check you are sending, and the summary report can be used to track your totals payments to all vendors. Added the ability to print each invoice on the Sales List when the list is displayed by Date. On the Sales List, select File > Print Each Item on the List. Added the ability to print both packing lists and shipping labels when delivering special order items from a Sales invoice. Note: this feature already existed when delivering items from a Special Order.
1.50E	Multi-Store	A host of new multi-store features have been completed that make it possible for all users of The Uniform Solution for DOS to use The Uniform Solution for Windows. To use the newly created features, Select Setup > Stores > Store Number? > Options Tab and turn on the options for creating purchase orders and receiving merchandise. Please be careful to make sure these settings are correct. You may want to call PDS to verify the changes you are making. Purchase Orders can be created for any store at any location. Purchase Orders can be set as drop shipped to a store and the drop ship store can receive the merchandise. Special Order items can be ordered for any store, from a single preferred location. Special order invoices can be revised and the revisions will update a purchase order to an order for stock if needed. A Batch discrepancy log record provides a notation of this action. Transfers for special order items can be created at the location designated to order special order items for a store. Accounts Receivable payment entry can be centralized by transferring ownership of invoices to the desired store.
1.50E	Fix	Special Order Items: After creating a PO, receiving the item, and then putting the item received back in stock, an error could result if the PO, and receiving process was repeated - making it so the item could not be delivered. To resolve any existing issues, delete the item from the Special Order, add it back, and pull the item from stock. All stock values will be correct. This issue has been fixed for future operations noted above. A similar error could also manifest if a part of the qty needed was pulled from stock, the rest ordered, and then the original qty reduced on the Special Order. Also fixed now. When adding a new style, the prompt displaying the number of colors was wrong. Fixed now. Accounts Payable Paid Reports did not properly include only "Paid" AP items. Fixed now. Multi-Store: If a location did not want to receive customers created at all stores, in some instances the Batch would send the customers anyway. Fixed now. Multi-Store: The Inventory Summary Report did not always list the Vendor name properly when multiple stores were printing. The vendor name could be blank. Fixed now.
1.49E	Fix	Customer allowance tracking had two issues that were addressed: (1) Saving a Sale with the OK or Next button, rather than selecting the F5-Payment button, was not verifying that the customer's allowance remaining was enough for the transaction. To handle this scenario, the program has been revised to prevent a sales invoice from being saved, or it warns the user when special orders are created. (2) The customer's allowance remaining shown on the Payment Entry Screen was not correct when modifying an invoice for a customer with a spending allowance. The allowance remaining should have added the amount on account for the original invoice to the amount remaining. Both issues are fixed.
1.48E	New	Added verification checking to the File > Backup procedure. After completing a Backup, the backup file is checked for integrity. This helps ensure valid back sets are made to CD-ROM's and other devices. Revised the export procedures to export directly to CD-R drives.
1.48E	Fix	Fixed a problem with ICVerify credit card processing. In rare instances, a timing error could occur and The Uniform Solution would ignore a response from ICverify, typically resulting in the credit card being processed twice. The Product Comparison report was subtotaling the percentage of Sales for each product type incorrectly. Fixed now. The Product and Vendor Comparison report was calculating the percentage of inventory based on quantities in stock. This has been revised to calculate the inventory percentage based on inventory cost. Saving a style with the cost the same for all sizes, but the retail different, could result in the retail price for the style being set to a value higher than lowest price. This process now sets the Style's price to match the lowest cost item that is first displayed in the list of sizes. Sometimes after deleting an item from a po, sale, receiving list, or contract, the screen totals showing the balance or quantities would not be updated. This error was only a display error and would correct itself when the entry was saved or the screen was re-displayed by some action.
1.47E	New	Added the ability to override a no discount setting for an item. Using a QuickEntry action to set a fixed price or discount now provides the user with a option to Logon and perform the discount if they have security access. Added the ability to import customers. File > Import. Now exporting a PO number for an invoice when using the shipping system interface.
1.47E	Multi-Store	Fixed a problem with adding new inventory items. If new inventory items were added to the polling location, and before conducting a batch to send the new items to a remote store, inventory levels were modified by the polling location for a remote store, the inventory levels at the remote store would not be updated. Fixed now. Revised the DOS converter to handle converting DOS systems that had outside sales or mobile selling locations.
1.47E	Fix	If you entered items on a PO Receipt, saved it, then modified the PO Receipt and canceled receipt of an item, the last date received for the item on a PO was not removed. Fixed now. If a discount was assigned to a vendor Payable, then the PO receipt was modified, the AP total would be incorrect. Fixed now. If a special order item was deleted from an Order after a partial receipt was made on a PO receipt, it was not possible to receive the item on the PO (now for stock) on a PO receipt. Fixed now. To remedy this situation, delete the item from the PO, and add it back. Windows NT based systems were not pulling "Network" printers into the printer selection dialog. Fixed now. Revised all reports to check for a zero divide calculation. Windows ME was GPFing. No problems reported with other operating systems. The shipping system interface was working according to the computer setting for station number 1. Fixed now.
