This update requires an update to your database. This will require that all users log out of the software program so that the update can run. Once the update has run and the first user logs in, other users will be able to log back into the program in prior versions without being required to update. This update will take anywhere from 5 seconds to 5 minutes depending on the database size.

 

This update should resolve all yellow screen errors reported thus far in version 11.2.*. This includes errors that mention “connection failure” and others.  If you continue to receive errors after updating to this version, please let us know as soon as possible.

 

 

Customers & Accounts Receivable:

New Features/Modifications

– The Reimbursible form received a general update and refresh. Column totals were added as well as a series of numbers that summarize what has been selected. A filter by item type feature was also added. There is new a feature called “Zero Retail Price on Add”. This feature sets the retail price of all reimbursable items to $0.00. The idea is to allow items to be added to the invoice, for job costing purposes, but not affect the retail price. Tip: There is also a “Zero Retail Price” markup method that could be used for this purpose.

 

Fixes and Corrections

– Corrected reported issue related to estimate change orders not always saving properly.

– We worked to resolve an issue, that a limited number of users have reported, related to not being able to edit certain fields on invoices or estimates. We believe this is no longer an issue.

– We have made significant speed improvements when loading this form, for those users who have a large number of sales tax items and\or sales tax group items.

Fixes and Corrections

– Corrected a reported issue with Fixed Amount deductions not copying to paychecks when the deduction is not assisgned to an earning item.
