This update is a major update that 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 not be able to log back into the program in prior versions without being required to update.
This update will take anywhere from 15 seconds to 30 minutes depending on the database size.

We are changing the way we use software version numbers. For now on, Total Office Manager’s version number will be YY.MM.DD. For example: If we release an update on February 26, 2019, the version number will be 19.02.26.

This feature will allow a more accurate Avg cost that is driven by the date of the transactions.
This helps users if you are backdating invoices; cost will now look at what the cost was for that particular item on that day.

Inventory and Serialized Item History – Avg. Cost Tab
– Information displayed will show end of month Avg. Cost so a user can look and see in any given month what the Avg. Cost was for that item.

Retail Price Feature
– When you open an existing Estimate or Invoice, there is no way to easily update the Retail Prices with current item pricing. You must remove and add back each item. This is also true when you make a copy. We added a menu option called “Refresh Price Each”. This new option will do the same thing quickly and easily.

Avg. Cost new functionality
– The inventory adjustment uses the new qty and avg cost functionality to dynamically update the qty on hand and avg cost when you change the date.

Warehouse drop down menu now has a current and total qty listed. (inventory parts only)
– Current = date of invoice/bill/etc.,
– Total = all time
