Ability to print product tickets when receiving goods, which have been ordered via purchasing order processing, is now standard in the cash sales module.

FREE ISSUE ITEMS - PREMIER PLUS ONLY (14 January 2004)

A product record may be flagged as 'free issue'. A free issue item is included in an assembly for costing purposes, but is not to be booked out of stock when the assembly's components are issued on a works order. This facility is for small value/high quantity items, e.g. nuts, bolts, screws etc where the value is required for costing purposes but conventional stock control movements are not practical.

CONTACT RECORD - WEB SITE ADDRESS (24 January 2004)

In the contact record is a new type 'web site' to allow a full web site address to be recorded. On the contacts tab for an address, a new 'web site' button can be pressed to launch your browser and view the web site.

JOB REFERENCE LOOKUP - JOB COSTING MODULE (01 February 2004)

Lookup of a job within most transactions can now be by job number, job reference, or job description (was just job number). User preferences allow the normal method of lookup to be set, plus job index default options.

VAT RETURN ENQUIRY (11 February 2004)

In VAT return enquiry, drilling down on a box now shows a summary of the entries, broken down by type. From there, the full details can be seen, either for a particular type, or all entries affecting the box.

SCREEN COLOURS (21 February 2004)

The standard palette of colours available in Setup / Colours has been enhanced, plus now includes facility to use custom colours.

PRODUCT ENQUIRY - QUOTATIONS TAB (03 March 2004)

Product Enquiry now has a quotations tab so you can see outstanding quotes which include the item, with a quantity total.

CUSTOMER ACCOUNT BALANCE - V - CREDIT LIMIT (13 March 2004)

Within Setup / Customer stop conditions there is a new option to include customers with no credit limit (zero) when checking account balance against credit limit.

CUSTOMER ACCOUNT ENQUIRY - APPROVALS ADD-ON MODULE (02 April 2004)

Customer account enquiry now has a button to directly enquire on a customer's approvals.

USER PREFERENCES - NUMBER ENTRY (05 May 2004)

Where you are inputting your own record number (rather than getting the system to allocate from a number series) you can set - via User Preferences - whether the cursor 'starts' at the prefix or the main number.

TESTING DATA FILES (20 May 2004)

In alter company details, you can flag a company as 'for testing only', which will display the message 'Test system' on the background when that company is being used. This can be useful if you have a copy of your own company data as a 'play' file, as a reminder that it is not the 'live' system. There are further options to set up a desktop background image, so you can display a picture or logo as the background when that company is used: Desktop background image - Type in here a path to the graphics file you want to use, or press the following button to browse for the file. A preview of the selected picture will be shown to the left. If the image contains transparent portions, ticking 'transparent' will allow those portions to remain transparent; un-ticking it will show the whole image as solid colours. If the image chosen is too big to display on some screen resolutions, ticking 'clip' will centre the image and clip (lose) the edges. Un-ticking it will cause the image to be resized to 'fit', which can lead to a less clear image.

CUSTOMER ANALYSIS (16 June 2004)

Within Setup / Customer is a new 'Set up analysis' transaction to allow you to check and/or set up the customer analysis for particular customers. Note that any existing transactions for customers whose analysis is updated will be changed to the new analysis.
