Date: September 8, 2004 These are the release notes for Response v8.1 (build 3052) IMPORTANT NOTE! Response 6.x/7.x users cannot install this update. You must first upgrade to 8.0. Must be running 8.x Build 3050 (or 3050a, or 3051a/b/c) to install this update. -------------------- --- New Features --- -------------------- Order Shipments - Shipment details can be entered manually (tracking number, picker, packer, etc.) To manually enter shipment detail, go to Customer Service, Order Lookup, find the order, click the "shipments" button to bring up "Order Shipments", then highlight a shipment (must have a shipment record), then click the "Add Shipment Detail" button. You'll be prompted for Shipped Via, Tracking Number, Freight, Weight, Picker and Packer. Enter as much or as little info that you want, and click "Ok". This info will be saved under "Shipment Detail from Manifest" in the "Order Shipments" view. Check-Writing Module (optional $) - creates refund checks for customers for returns/refunds and overpayments Installment Billing (optional $) (currently supports Orbital only) Counter Sales (optional $) - can have up to 3 counter sales windows open at one time on the same computer -------------------- --- Enhancements --- -------------------- Batch Integrity Check logfile is now appended to instead of overwritten. (batches.err) Order Entry Country now shown on ShipTo display if not "USA" "P" status orders may now be placed on hold. Order Audit Trail now showing difference in print and REprint. Picking Tickets can optionally sort picking tickets in Warehouse Picklist order. New flag option to disable field auditing can dramatically improve system performance; File / Supervisor Options / Flag Options / Miscellaneous / Disable Security System Field Auditing. The flag option for field auditing, if checked, disables field auditing altogether. Field auditing is an optional feature of the security system. This has nothing to do with the AUDIT Trail feature. Few users actively use field auditing. We may ask you to enable this at a later time for troubleshooting purposes. //lloyd said, You won't notice the difference. This is a field-watch feature in the security system that no one (to my knowledge) even uses. No Response auditing is affected. . Finalize Returns the option to "return item to default bin" can be set via a new flag setting Import Orders supports Alias Item IDs now (incl. media code assignment per line/order) ----------------- --- Bug Fixes --- ----------------- counter sales batch number was not being saved (now "CS") check number was saved as a credit card number inventory first/last sold date is now updated Inventory Drop-Ship selection list now defaults to "never" (however, the "optional" mode is not available yet) Order Delay Notices printing is suppressed when inventory has been allocated to ship. Order Entry Drop-Ship items would sometimes display "this item is backordered". The prompt "Configure?" (item configurator) would appear erroneously Entering item ALIAS IDs will set applicable lineitem media and order media properly Kit Masters would not always display correct sugg_ship_qty on item grid Tax on an order was sometimes set erroneously to zero Can now change the status of an order to/from "B" in order to add items to a backorder Order Import could get "required message argument missing" when modifying orders in import maintenance. Imported tax amounts might be doubled or not saved at all depending upon how the data was mapped. Order View Could get "Invalid message GET_FILE_FIELD_MASK_TYPE" when entering the "view only" orders screen. PO Unreceive would display incorrect number to unreceive in popup window. ShipTo International Address could get error invalid message "do_rebuild_view_constraints". Outstanding Orders Report Changed to show "N/A" as last ship date when order not shipped (instead of 1/1/1753 which is the value for an empty date in SQL). Allocation Kit Allocation was not updating inventory allocated amount. (inventor.allocated). Service Items as kit components could erroneously backorder. Credit Cards Added safeguard to CRTRANS record creation to prevent duplicate records errors. Confirm from Manifest confirming second shipto for an order would instead add the tracking/etc. info to the first shipto, and leave the second shipto in "W" status. Purge Known Duplicates would give "field not found" error. Finished Goods Breakdown would not update available qty. PO Unreceive could result in inventor ON Order qty being wrong. ----------------- --- Usability --- ----------------- Import - Mapping to previously "read-only" fields is now allowed by default (e.g. inventor.mtd_sales, syscust.orig_media) rather than manually including a 'FORCE' option in the template mapping file.
