Advanced Work File

  • Added 5 attachments

Manufacturing

Other Improvements

  • Enabled (invoice classification, and Sales Return) to work the same way as the discount does — i.e. pressing it shows a pop for the higher user to approve and carry out the action

Critical Payment Methods

Improved the point of sale so that not every user can use every payment method, by defining some payment methods as critical payment methods. To support this, added the following two options:

New Entity Flows

  • Added a new entity flow named EAGuessEntityFromNames to infer the item name when a similar name is entered

Added a new table named "Popup In Reference Open" to the Fields & Screens Settings, which lets you designate certain fields so that, when the blue link on the field is clicked, the window opens in the same entry screen instead of a new tab; likewise, adding an asterisk (*) in the field's Field, together with a set of types, activates this feature for all those types, and putting the asterisk with no type chosen activates it for every field in the system

Handling Excel Files

Developed an entity flow that handles the Excel file attached to a Purchase Quotation, creating a Purchase Price List based on the information in the attached Excel file

User Improvements

  • Removed the option "Ability to browse all lists" from the User window

Reports

Bank Reports

  • Added the report ("بيان أوراق تجارية", "Statement Paper Financial") to replace the Receipt Papers Statement report (SYSR-BNK001), since after the change the report covers commercial papers issued or received, not just received ones

Financial Reports

  • Restructured the reports for the Financial Statements module

Fixes

Inventory

Assembly Request

  • Fixed an issue where, in some cases, adding the assembly method on the line showed the error "The operation could not be performed"

Purchasing

Purchase Price Quotation Comparison

  • Fixed an issue where, in the Purchase Price Quotation Comparison window, enabling the option "Do not update best price on save" in the window header, choosing a quotation manually, and saving caused the system to clear the selections on all the quotation lines; it should keep the line selections as they are when clicked, and allow editing and saving them

Purchase Price Quotation Screen

  • Fixed an issue where, on the Purchase Price Quotation screen, pressing the Guess Item Names button after attaching an Excel sheet made the system take a long time to load the sheet and not pull the items into the item field

Sales

Free Items

  • Fixed an issue where, if there were free items on the Sales Invoice, the system incorrectly deleted these free items when the term config was changed

Accounting

Payment Voucher Term Config

  • Fixed an issue where, in the Payment Voucher term config, when a subsidiary was set on both the debit and credit sides, a subsidiary type was chosen, and the related references were set, creating the Payment Voucher always picked the account on the debit side regardless of the credit side

Check Payment Voucher

  • Fixed an issue where a Check Payment Voucher that automatically creates the check showed the message "The operation could not be performed" if the Check Book was not selected and the document was saved; the message should instead read "A book must be selected"

Contracting

General Issues

  • Fixed an issue where, in some cases, selecting info field show and right-clicking any system field did not show the info field for those fields — for example, the penalty voucher number field found on the Debit Note
  • Fixed an issue where, in some cases, saving a Subcontractor Extract showed the error "The operation could not be performed"

Subcontractor Extract

  • Fixed an issue where, when a line had a main item and a unit price was entered, saving did not clear the unit price field; it should, on save, clear the unit price as well as the quantity fields — except the total fields — whenever a line with a main item has a unit price

Human Resources

Salary Voucher

  • Fixed an issue where, in some cases, an error occurred in calculating the Salary Voucher, counting an absence day even though the employee was not actually absent on that day

Business Trip Voucher

  • Fixed an issue where, in some cases, Business Trip Vouchers did not show up in the Salary Voucher and the business trip allowance was not calculated

Manufacturing

Machine Creation Issues

  • Fixed an issue where machines were not created automatically when running the entity flow:
    com.namasoft.infor.domainbase.util.actions.EAGroovyAction

Settings

Recommit Issues

  • Fixed an issue where, when running recommit, the system detected a problem in one of the vouchers and displayed the problem in a message, but did not show which voucher had the problem; the message should include the voucher number where the problem is, to make it easy to open and fix

Screen Editing Issues

  • Fixed an issue where editing the display list in the Edit Screen window duplicated columns. Duplicating columns was prevented
  • Fixed an issue where, when doing a screen edit on the Sales Order and adding Salesman to the displayed columns, the system refused to display anything in the Sales Order's display list — showing a blank error message — if that employee did not have permission to browse employees

Project Management

  • Fixed an issue where creating recurring invoices showed the error "The operation could not be performed"

Accounting

Financial Papers Issues

  • Fixed an issue where creating a Receipt Voucher or a Check Payment showed an error that the Financial Paper Book could not be empty

New GUI

Classification Issues

  • Fixed an issue where, when the option "Show item classification relationships" was enabled in the Supply Chain settings and one of the classifications was then linked to a specific department through the Classification 1 window, the system deleted the department on save

Approval and Field Issues

  • Fixed an issue where approvals did not work from inside the document
  • Fixed an issue where the system showed fields that had been set as disabled through Fields & Screens Settings

Purchase Invoice Issues

  • Fixed an issue where clicking the "Item Code" field on the Purchase Invoice showed no items, and sometimes crashed the system with the error "The operation could not be performed"
  • Fixed an issue where, in some cases, the system did not show references when trying to select from them — such as the reference "Document Subsidiary" on the Purchase Invoice — when the vendor was selected first

Other Issues

  • Fixed an issue where "Fields for which creation opens when a non-existing code is entered", set for a field through Fields & Screens Settings, did not work correctly

Point of Sale

Printing and Display Issues

  • Fixed an issue where an error occurred on reprinting a point-of-sale sales invoice
  • Fixed an issue where an error occurred when clicking payment details for the invoice's deferred amount
  • Fixed an issue where the Quantity field on the point-of-sale invoice header was unclear at the 1024*768 display setting
  • Fixed an issue where the line number did not appear at the 1024*768 screen setting
