• Any agreement invoice items that are set to On Dispatch and not to print will now properly carry the no print flag to the Parts tab of Dispatch Entry when posting agreement dispatches.

• Added a Through Period filter to the Balance Sheet 2 and 5 Year Comparison reports. – ESC Accounting only
• Added additional logic when saving and loading invoice templates so that it handled billing codes differently. Prior to this patch, ESC would treat billing codes like parts where it did not save the price with the template. In the new patch, it now only saves prices for billing codes.

• When posting agreement dispatches, ESC now waits until the very end to display any errors until the end. For instance, if a customer has a credit rating that prevents dispatches from being created.

• Fixed an issue in Qualifications where the invoice amount on the Invoices & Quotes panel was showing the invoice amount minus any credits that were applied. It now shows just the invoice amount.
• Fixed an issue in Customer Entry where it was possible to enter a new customer number without the preceding zeroes and save it. This causes issues later on when you try to create dispatches, invoices, etc. for that customer because ESC requieres the preceding zeroes in the customer number.
• Fixed an issue in the Connections Server where if a mobile dispatch had been re-synched to mobile client multiple times you weren't able to charge a credit card through Merchant Warehouse.
• Tax code percentages used on an invoice are now saved when an invoice is saved. This means that if you change the tax rates for a tax code and you recall an old invoice that used that tax code, it no longer re-calculates the tax values. Now, the only time the tax value recalculates is if you manually change the tax code used on an invoice.
• ESC now requires that you convert the database on the server machine where SQL Server is installed. You can also designate one other machine to do the conversion by going to Company | System Setup and manually typing the computer name that you want to give that ability.
• You can no longer download patch updates to ESC unless the database has been converted first. This change was made to combat issues with errors that would occur if someone applied a patch without converting the database first. The new ESC version expected new database fields.
• If ESC and the Connections Server are not at the same version, mobiles and Front Office will not be able to communicate with the Connections Server.

• Fixed an issue where pound signs would show in certain fields on the Trial Balance and Job Profit and Loss Detail reports. – ESC Accounting only
• Fixed an issue where if you unselected a piece of equipment on an invoice and that was the invoice it was sold on, it wasn’t removing the invoice number on the piece of equipment.

• Fixed an issue where it was possible to duplicate parts on an invoice if the original parts came from the Parts tab of the dispatch in ESC.

13.0.1 - 6/10/2013

• Added proxy compatibility for new Version 13 webserver configurations.
• ESC now recalculates spiff values on subassembly items if quantities are changed. It’s important to note that if there’s a percent of price spiff on a sub assembly item that the spiff will still be $0.00. Sub assembly parts have a $0.00 price because the main assembly is assigned the retail price.
• Fixed an issue where the reporting type for Additions/Deductions wasn’t being saved to the database properly.  This only applied to new Additions/Deductions that were entered in Version 13.  To fix simply bring up the Addition/Deduction in Employees | Enter Additions and Deductions then just click Save. – ESC Accounting only
