Release Notes for the EMDECS September 2024 Update

Ticket

Description

E3-1830

Changed the Repair Order Estimate report to display an actual part quantity instead of an estimated part quantity when no estimate is attached to the underlying work order.

E3-I1869

Added a new feature to the Unit Master where repair order notes can be entered for a unit and these will be shown if your corporation’s global system parameter SHOW_ACTIVITY_BARCODE_ON_RO_PRINTOUT = Y. If your parameter is set this way, a new subtab will appear in the Unit Master details popup’s Work required tab named RO Notes. Any text entered here will be printed on the repair order report.

NOTE: this feature only applies to repair orders that are printed with activity barcodes visible.

E3-I1873

Enhanced the Repair Order report so that it is more able to line up header details when a large amount of header information needs to be shown.

E3-I1892

Enhanced the #10 Single Window invoice format so that it better handles very long customer names.

E3-I1902

Added a third setting to the existing SHOW_SHOP_SUPPLIES_ON_WO_INVOICES global system parameter. Now if this parameter is set to = S then the shop supplies value will be shown on work order invoices, but it will be placed in the summary instead of its usual location.

Please contact BrightOrder Customer Experience if you would like to take advantage of this feature.

E3-1909

Fixed an issue where some units created in 2019 or earlier could show with an incorrect make and model of 0-0.

E3-I1978

As a supplement to the existing AR > Customer Statement report, we’ve added a new AR > Customer Statement Without Receipt report that serves the same purpose but displays information more like the customer statement in the now-deprecated legacy Forms application.

E3-1991

When creating a Parts PO using a vendor that has a different currency than your corporate currency, the system will use the exchange rate set up in Financials > Financial Manager > Foreign Exchange.

If an exchange rate for that pair of currencies is not set up, the system will use an exchange rate of 1:1.

E3-1994

Fixed an issue with the Part Usage Export report that would, under some circumstances, cause it to take an extreme amount of time (>1 hour) to execute.

E3-I1996

The Inventory Aging report now filters out parts with a zero on-hand.

E3-I2002

It is now possible to unfinalize a long-term Rental Agreement in order to make changes to it even though one or more invoices have already been issued to the rental customer.

E3-I2018

Fixed an issue with VendorPaymentCheque2 where a timezone conversion could cause inconsistent dates to appear on the printed cheque.

E3-I2028

Fixed an issue where the receipts displayed in the AR History’s Invoices tab would not refresh correctly if you performed a search in this screen by clicking the Refresh button.

E3-I2036

Fixed the date format used on the Custom Cheque 6 cheque format, so that the month number and date number are not swapped.

E3-I2046

Fixed the VendorPaymentCheque5 format so that it does not spread across two pages when printed if the vendor name was very long.

E3-I2070

Made the Fleet > History screens a little easier to use if you are looking up one unit. Where previously you had to enter the unit you wanted in both the From and To fields, now you will only need to enter it in one or the other.

E3-I2074

Fixed an issue where the Fleet > History > Repair Order screen and its associated export would render incorrectly if you had no Sublet POs in the system.

E3-I2076

Fixed an issue where, under some circumstances, a trial balance for the most recent period could not be shown unless a previous period was opened first.

E3-I2091

Change the wording of the zero tax invoice parameter in the Sales Tax Liability (Accrual Basis) report so that it will be more clear what is and isn’t included when it is used.

E3-I2107

Fixed an issue with the Miscellaneous Customer Invoice printout where customer names that were very long could be cut off.
