The option to export data to spreadsheet has been enhanced.  There are up to 3 different types of data that may be output to an Excel spreadsheet.  Each type will now be output to it's own worksheet within the Excel workbook.  (Dec-16-2009)

For those functions that export data to Excel spreadsheets, the following enhancements have been made:

The following applications have been revised accordingly, where applicable (Dec-16-2009) :

The Committed Items report has been enhanced to offer analysis by Customer, Inventory Items, Inventory by Customer and Customer by Inventory.  As well, Items or Customer may be grouped by a number of applicable codes.  Either a Summary or a Detail report, listing each order, may be printed. (Aug-19-2009)

The grid screen used to display the Price Codes has been enhanced.  There now is the option to have ALL price codes displayed, (as was previously the case), or to have only those for a selected Price Code Type displayed.  A drop-down list offers the operator the opportunity to choose which Price Code type is to be displayed. (Aug-12-2009)

A new analysis has been introduced to the Order Processing system.  Totals of invoiced inventory are accumulated from the Invoice Line Item history file for a range of operator selected periods.  Periods are defined as calendar years, calendar months, G/L Fiscal Years or Fiscal Periods.  The function analyzes sales to attempt to compute the profit earned from each Inventory Item along with an estimate of what discounts, on the average, had been given, relative to a Base Price for the item.  Totals are tallied by Inventory Items, Product Categories, and Suppliers.

Information is presented to the screen in grid format, and may be output as a report, or exported to a spreadsheet.  For any given item displayed in the grid, a drill-down function is offered that when evoked displays a screen showing Period Comparatives with Trend percentages. (Aug-05-2009)

When a range of inventory items was selected,  figures were not being correctly compiled.  The problem has been fixed. (July-31-2009)

When editing the address fields, they were not being applied to the record.  The problem has been fixed. (Jun-11-2009)

When inquiring to an Active Order, or an Historic Invoice, a screen was displayed with a number of enclosed tabbed sub-screens.  When selecting different tabs, sometimes the information within the sub-screens would not always be displayed.  This was determined to be a problem in the Windows operating system as used by the AcuGT runtime.  These applications have been re-worked so that the display of the  tabbed sub-screens are now correctly displaying all available information. (Jun-04-2009)

A new function has been introduced to the O/P system.  Under the menu's File drop-down menu, Clear All Credit Card Numbers may be invoked to have all occurrences of credit card numbers cleared.  That is, in those data records where a credit card number is stored,  the number 1111-1111-1111-1111 will be assigned to the card number.  A cutoff date may be entered as a filter to limit the records that have the numbers cleared for those files were dates would be applicable.  This function should be executed on a regular basis to ensure that historic Invoice and Order records have their credit card fields cleared.  Also, if data files are being used in a test environment, all data files should have the credit card fields cleared. (Jun-03-2009)

A new program has been developed that will process all O/P records that contain Credit Card numbers.  It reads the active and Historic Order files, and the Invoice History file and encrypts any Credit Card and Debit Card Numbers that have been previously stored.   (Jun-03-2009)

When prepaid O/P Invoices are posted to Accounts Receivable as Sales Transactions, if paid with Credit Cards or Debit Cards, the Credit/Debit Card numbers are passed as xxxxxxxxxxxx9999, where 9999 is the last 4 digits.  The Credit/Debit Card # as stored in the Sales Transaction is not encrypted. (Jun-03-2009)

The Order Entry function has been revised so that when Credit Card and Debit Cards Number are displayed, or printed, the first 12 digits are now masked.  Only the last 4 digits are shown.  When the Credit Card numbers are displayed to be edited, all digits are displayed. . (Jun-03-2009)

The Credit Card and Debit Cards Number found in the the Order Header records are now fields that are encrypted.  The encryption is considered a "strong" encryption based on a Vigenere Cipher algorithm using multiple dynamically built conversion tables.  Both the Order Entry operation and the User Order Interface operation programs have been revised accordingly. (Jun-03-2009)

The Invoice Generation and Printing function has been revised.  Prepaid Orders and Invoices will be assigned the date that is entered as the Invoice Date when their invoices are printed.  Previously, the Order Date was used as the Invoice date.   This action is meant to ensure that Invoices are dated when they are printed, rather than when the Prepaid transaction occurred. (April-15-2009)

The Customer Order Processing system now has On-Line Help.  You can access these help files from the application's screens or menu bars. (Aug-01-2008)
