Q1 2021 (v2102.1) Release Notes -- Final

The version number to this update is officially being named v2102.1. This system update encompasses all of the updates since the original published version of 1808.1. Many of you will be familiar with these since they are covered in the past Release Notes. There are not many noticeable changes in the system. Those that will be noticeable are documented in these Release Notes.


In this latest version, the system is now storing the Login Company/Branch by the personal computer’s User, so it should default the first time based on the last login record.


SALES PROCESSING:

  1. In the previous update, the two “Inventory Requested” reports were merged into one program. In this update, you will now see a single menu item in the Sales Processing Reports Menu 2 of 2 as follows: 




No other changes have been made to these reports.


INVENTORY CONTROL:

  1. A couple of updates have been made to the Catalog Maintenance moduleThe first is two new fields related to B2B Import located in the Cost tab, just under the Pricing Table button. Those appear as follows: Skip B2B Import/Allow New and Ignore B2B Import. There’s a “?” next to those two checkboxes that will display the meaning for each as follows:




There are two additional fields below those as follows: M.A.P. Pricing Required and M.A.P. PricingM.A.P. stands for Minimum Advertised Price. These fields are tied to Ecommerce functionality and should only be used if an integrated program, such as WooCommerce, is pulling catalog data into an online website. These two fields would then allow you to set a minimum advertised price.


The final change has to do with text display when an item is changed from Active to Inactive or vice versa. In the History tab, the Field Changed column will display Made Active and Made Inactive when the Active/Inactive button is toggled as follows:
