Order Entry 5

Update History

Note: You must use Windows Accounts Receivable with Order Entry

Version 5.1.3

• When updating Accounts Receivable (Jobs in Progress), the system was setting "Date In" to today's date. This was OK unless it was updating the order in which the previous Date In should be retained. This has been corrected in this version.

Version 5.1.2

• Setup --> Setup Entry Formats. If a new question was added in the middle of the list of questions, the question below the entry point was deleted by mistake.

Version 5.1.1

• Integration with Job Tracking. The order entry program now has the option of creating a job in Job Tracking. Just check the appropriate box when printing the job ticket and saving the order.
• If Accounts Receivable is installed, the system now checks the customer to see if the customer has any past due invoices. If so, a message is displayed. This check is done when the customer lookup is done or when entering order entry with an order already entered.

Version 5.1.0

• Job Tickets. You can now print the order number "(order)", job number "(job)" and the user name "(user)" on job tickets.

Version 5.0.9

• Printing Job Tickets. Two new check boxes where added when printing job tickets. "Print Straight to Printer", if checked bypasses the windows printer driver and prints directly to the printer. This can be useful when trying to fill in a pre-printed form on a dot matrix printer. The second check box is "Print All @ signs". If checked, all @ signs will print normally. Otherwise, they are interpreted as printer commands and may cause the job ticket to print incorrectly.

Version 5.0.8

• Recalling Orders. Corrected an error introduced in 5.0.7. When recalling an order, the system checks for changes in customer information. The terms field was being substituted for several other fields. This has been corrected.

Version 5.0.7

• Recalling Orders. The program now compares the customer address and phone number on the order to the same information in the Accounts Receivable customer file. If the A/R file contains newer information, the order is automatically changed to reflect the new information. This means that when you recall old orders and re-print them, any customer address or phone number changes will automatically be included in the order.
• Searching for Orders. When searching, the maximum number of orders that is shown in the list has been increased from 200 to 700. This means that if you are looking at all orders for a particular customer, you will now see the most recent 700 orders.

Version 5.0.6

• Saving Orders. When you recall, modify and re-save an order, the program would lose information if the new version of the order had significantly more data than the previous version of the order. This was a serious problem and has been corrected.
• Vendor File Lookup. The vendor lookup has been modified to deal with changes in the a/p vendor file. You need this version or later of Order Entry if you are using a/p version 5.2.9 or later.
• Print Job Ticket. If you tried to print something from the last two lines entered into an order on the job ticket, you got blanks instead. This has been corrected.
• Print Job Ticket. The "move left" command "<<<" was not working properly and has been corrected.

Version 5.0.5

• Printing Job Tickets. The @ commands have been re-instated. Commands like : @27 49 48@ will now send encoded data to the printer as it did in the DOS program. Please note that this works only if you select the "Print" option for job tickets. If you display first and then print, the @ commands will be ignored!
• Order Entry. When recalling customer information from Accounts Receivable, you can now recall Fax number and email address if you wish. To set this up, go to Setup --> Setup Order Entry Formats --> Modify Selected Format --> Invoicing Instructions. The last two entries are now Fax and Email. Simply fill in the correct codes where you would like these to be inserted in the order. Note that these can only be filled in in the customer area only.

Version 5.0.4

• Calculations. An internal formatting problem could cause strange results in certain situations, especially if doing sophisticated calculations. If you are getting values of $10 or less where you would expect zero, this is probably your problem. It is corrected on this version.

Version 5.0.3

• Calculation Formulas. If you have an entry like:
  
  10 E001801 * 3 (2) (Q1)
  
  The (Q1) tells the system to substitute this calculation for the amount in invoice line 1. The invoice lines are those lines that have specifically Quantity, Description, Distribution Code and Amount. You can use Q1-Q20 for up to 20 invoice lines.
• Job Ticket Printout. Added a feature that was present on the DOS version. If you enter a code like (E01803%) in the job ticket format, the "%" at the end of the entry indicates that you wish that the code "E01803" be treated as a distribution code and that you want the tax rate associated with that code to be printed.
• Job Ticket Printout. If you add a code like (SKIP 3), the program will skip down to the end of the current page and leave three lines for you to put instructions at the bottom of the page. This command is useful if you want certain text to always appear at the bottom of a page.
• Job Ticket Printout. Some of you use a two column format for your job tickets in the DOS program. This feature has now been added to the Windows version. The command (START 2C 40) will start a two column format (40 characters per column). The command (END 2C) will end the two column format.

Version 5.0.2

• Order Entry. Changed the distribution code lookup so that it just puts the distribution code # in the data entry field (it used to include the description as well). The description is now shown in the lower left portion of the screen so you can make sure you picked the right distribution code.
• Job Ticket Printout. Added a feature that was present on the DOS version. If you enter a code like (E01803D) in the job ticket format, the "D" at the end of the entry indicates that you wish that the code "E01803" be treated as a distribution code and that you want the description associated with that code to be printed.

Version 5.0.1

• Order Entry. You can now have up to 150 questions in data entry (old limit was 50).
• Print Job Ticket. SOP codes were not printing. (sop1), (sop2) etc. now work properly.
• Print Job Ticket. You can now have a command like (e00102)<<<(e00203) like in DOS. The <<< will move the second item over three characters before printing. Naturally, you can use as many < symbols as necessary to format the report as you like.

Version 5.0.0 (Initial Version)
