Feature Enhancements and Revisions by Version

2003


All 2003 versions add extensive new features that require your database to be upgraded if you are using a 2002 or older version of The Uniform Solution for Windows. After installing the update, it may take 15 minutes to an hour to upgrade your data files. It is faster to run the upgrade from your server if you have one. If there are multiple stores that use the polling operation, each location will have to be updated to 2003 before the Batch can be run.

Description

2.17F Fixes

Multiple Stores with Polling Active. Locations that performed the fewest transactions would suffer a decrease in performance when saving transactions. This was due to an inefficient algorythm that has been corrected.

2.14F Fixes

Fixed a problem with entering a CVV2 number to send to X-Charge.

2.13F New

Added printer selections for the Zebra TLP2844 and TLP2824 printers.

Added the option to send CVV2 information to X-Charge when the credit card is entered manually. X-Charge Server must be activated to support both AVS and CVV2 for the CVV2 information to be sent to the procesor.

Implemented a new calendar for selecting dates.

2.12F Fixes

The backup path was not being saved after a backup.

Non-Standard items were not checking the Contract during ItemEntry. Fixed Now.

PO Receipts would allow items selected from a PO to be changed to a different item. This behaviour was incorrect and has been fixed.

2.11F New

Bundle quantities now allow the minimum stock level to be any value, not just a multiple of the bundle quantity.

Added support for X-Charge credit card processing to the Computer Setup Form. (Support for ICVerify will be discontinued)

2.11F Fixes

The Standard invoice was incorrectly printing "Tax ID" below the Store name and address. This is a regression in version 2.10. Fixed Now.

2.10F New

*** This version and all future versions require at least an 800X600 screen resolution.

Added a 3rd address line for the customer's street address. Vendor addresses have also been expanded and have a line 2 and line 3 for the address.

Sales Entry displays the customer's phone number in the "Bill To".

The customer's phone number is printed below the "Bill To" address if the invoice is not "Billed".

The Purchasing Summary Report lists the total cost and amount purchased from each vendor for a range of dates. Select Reports > Inventory > Purchasing Summary.

You can now set the default tax status for a Miscellaneous item added in Sales Entry. To set the default to "Not Taxable", Select, Setup > Store > Store to Update and goto the Pricing Tab. Set the Default tax option to your preference.

2.10F Fixes

Changed the printed Invoice's "Ready" column for special order items. It now matches the ready column on the Sales Entry screen for an item. The quantity ready is the quantity ready for delivery but not shipped yet.

Fixed a regression. The program was not adding the default area code to new customers since V2.02. Fixed Now.

Sales Table. Using the customer select button did not hide or unhide the "Show Billed" sales option. It remained unchanged until a new filter setting was made. Fixed Now.

Fixed a problem with accessing Physical Inventory after upgrading to 2.01 or newer and not installing the latest Catalog or accessing the Catalog List. Fixed.

Reassigning a customer to a delivery transaction reset the work requirement on delivered items if an item was on a contract and different than the original work requirement. Since this cannot be done manually, the work status is no longer reset for delivered items when a new customer and contract are selected. Fixed Now.

*** If you have invoices that show items still require work on a delivered *** item, just open the invoice and save it.

Sales tax now displays the 3rd decimal place if needed on the Sales Entry screen and print outs.

Changing a Sales Entry transaction without a customer would inherit a new Sales Tax rate if one existed. Now the program leaves the original sales tax rate in place - unless the customer is changed.

2.04F Fixes

Removed ability to resubmit a Direct EDI order after a successful send. Landau and Cherokee are processing orders in minutes - making all resubmissions an error. Fixed.

Backups and AutoBackups to unmapped network drives would fail. All program and data paths were supposed to have a mapped drive, but some people did not set it up that way. Enabled backup file creation on unmapped network drives. Fixed.

Using Next to add an additional item in Sales Entry was not saving all of the fields needed. Changing the quantity after adding a second special order item to a Sale would set the item type to purchase. Fixed.

The edi status icon is not showing on special order items when an item was rejected by the vendor. Fixed.

Saving the current retail price for the current price level would fail after changing the price then using the spin box arrows to change the current retail price level. Fixed.

2.03F New

Added Direct EDI capability for Landau Uniforms.

A new option (File) for importing Max/Min levels only resets the max/min values for the styles and colors in the import file - not for all styles for the vendor.

2.03F Fixes

Windows 98 machines could not download updates to the program or the Catalog without manually creating the needed download directories. Fixed.

Deleting a cash payment from a saved invoice and subsequently putting the invoice on-account was not properly updating the Store Charge totals. Fixed.

Deleting a Vendor did not delete the color codes for the vendor. Fixed.

If auto-backup is enabled with no backup for today and the batch is started but not completed, the program would not let the batch start or the batch reset on startup. Fixed.

If the Batch did not complete and the user does not have the security to run the Batch, the user could log in then have access to the program. Fixed.

2.02F New

Auto-Backup. Added the ability for the program to automatically backup at the start of each day. Goto Setup > System options to make sure you enable the auto-backup option.

Added the ability to download and install selected catalog files from the PDS website. Select the Updates button while connected to the Internet and you can select the vendor files to download.

Added the ability to download and install program updates from the program using a connection to the Internet. Now users can select Maintenance > Updates > Program Updates. The update will download and install automatically.

The Inventory List can now be viewed for all styles, all styles for a vendor, or all styles sorted by description. Use the "Show" drop list field in the upper left corner of the Inventory List to select the preferred sort method.

You can now rename the vendor code for a vendor. The process can be used to make the vendor code consistent with what's in the Catalog. Not available for Multi-store systems.

Inventory can now be set inactive (hidden from view on the Inventory List. Under Lists > Inventory Standards, you can set an inventory code to hide inventory on the inventory list.

Customers can be set inactive. On the customer form, select the set inactive option and the customer will be hidden from normal view on the customer list.

Added options to receipt and invoice printing. Select Setup > Store > Update Store settings and select the Receipt Options button. There is even a new detail layout option for receipts.

UPC Utility. After selecting Maintenance > Inventory Utilities, you can easily add the UPC barcodes to inventory items by scanning the price tag printed by this program, then the UPC barcode on the garment.

Auto-Discontinue discontinues all inventory items for a vendor. While on the Vendor List, select EDIT > Auto-DISCONTINUE. This process will append the tilde(~) symbol to all inventory items for the vendor and remove the corresponding UPC barcode. It also sets the item to a new inactive inventory code (ADISC).

A Phone number entered in the Scan/Qty field in Sales Entry is is now transferred to the Customer Form for a new customer.

Direct EDI for Strategic Partners (Cherokee) has been implemented. Direct EDI requires an account set up by Cherokee, an Internet connection, and UPC barcode number assigned to all items on a purchase order.

Added support for ordering in bundles or packs. Each item can have a bundle quantity and cost. See the More Tab on the Style Form, the More Tab on the Sizes Form, or the More Tab on the Product Form. Setting a bundle quantity requires ordering in multiples of the bundle quantity. Printing a "Store" PO shows the individual quantity while printing the "Vendor" PO shows the number of "packs". Purchase orders sent using Direct EDI use the bundle feature. Be aware that in instances where items on a PO are for a special order, the bundle feature will order more than you want if the quantity on the special order is not a multiple of the bundle quantity. You'll have to receive the extra items into stock when the items arrive.

Improved the error reporting when trying to generate a Catalog download and other users are in the Catalog.

Added the ability to import scans into Physical Inventory from a comma delimited file.

Added a new label size for Shipping labels - 5" x 4"

Added the option to NOT check for an Internet server before using the FTP procedures like Direct EDI. Add the option internetservercheck=off to the [startup] section of the INI file for the computer.

No longer playing "Ready to Scan" after deletes in Sales Entry, PO Entry, etc..

Added support for ISBN and UPC barcodes with 13 characters. Also added the ability to enter an Alternate barcode number for each item.

Revised Cash Flow Summary report to show freight and non-taxable totals in the Alternate Sales Tax Reporting.

Added the report group option to include payment methods with the cash or credit card group on the Cash Flow Report.

The Open Items on PO's and Backorder reports have been revised to include additional PO and vendor information. They now include the vendor's phone, fax, and account number. It also includes notes about a PO or an item on the PO.

Delivering items to a customer now displays notes for the customer if the review notes option is selected.

2.02F Fixes

Customer Billing options would get removed when a user without the security level to set Billing options modified a customer record.

Inventory with Max/Min Values. This report did not properly reflect the cost and retail totals for items. Fixed Now.

New Colors copied from the Catalog List for an existing Style in the Inventory List did not inherit the values from the Style. For example, if an exiting Style in the inventory list had special tax options set, or no discounting, the newly added color did not inherit these values as it should. Fixed Now.

Items with a code set for no ordering can no longer be manually added to a PO. Auto-Create did function properly by ignoring, but they were allowed to be added manually.

Adding a new size and setting a UPC barcode that is a duplicate on disk or in the current Style would fail during the save of the Style. Fixed.

Revised the security setting "View inventory costs and information" to hide the cost on the ItemEntry screen when adding inventory items and More Detail is selected.

Non-Taxable Sales and Taxable Sales aggregate totals on the Cash Flow Report are incorrect when sub-rates are used. Printing these totals is now suppressed when sub-rates are detected. The individual totals in the Sales Tax Totals were and are correctly reporting the values.

Revised Month-End to no longer Pack Files. This may help with data issues that occur during the month-end. It may also prevent users from turning off the machine during long pack operations (ie. mproduct.tps).

Changing the A/R List to 'By Customer' could takes many seconds without a Customer selected. Revised the Sales List Filter to make this instant like the other selections.

The shipping charge automatically added to invoices was not always displaying properly on the Computer Setup Form.
