    .

==================
9.0.49 - 4/25/2008
==================

  • Fixed an issue where if QuickBooks or Peachtree is selected as the accounting integration, the “Job Totals” tab in Setup Jobs was displaying incorrect amounts for material cost.  We now only show material cost that has been costed through sales.
  • Fixed an issue where it was possible to duplicate material cost for an assembly item when turning a quote into an invoice.
  • Fixed an issue where cost tax was showing as retail tax when an invoice was posted to QuickBooks.

==================
9.0.48 - 4/7/2008
==================

  • Redesigned the evaluation screen when creating a new company in ESC.  It now looks similar to the Small Business Service and Scheduling evaluation screen.  This is actually already available in the build on the demo download page.
  • When importing a PO onto an invoice, we no longer require a billing code if no miscellaneous material is selected to import.
  • We now automatically filter out inactive parts when using the Vendors | Reorder Parts function.
  • Fixed a bug with converting a standard user from Version 8 to Version 9.
  • Fixed a sorting bug when importing a PO onto an invoice that was tied to a job\dispatch.
  • Fixed a signature capture issue where mobile invoice signatures were printing very small when the invoice was reprinted in ESC.
  • Fixed an issue where If you exited the Tender Payments screen with the “x”, it caused issues when running the Aging Report.
  • Fixed an issue where if a tax code was selected in Inventory Setup | Flat Rate Setup that was longer than 6 characters an error would appear.
  • Fixed an issue where if you filtered a dispatch board by a zone that was 6 or more characters you’d get an error.  We now limit the Zone filter field to 5 characters or less.
  • Changed the way customer notes import from QuickBooks.  We now import them the same way they are displayed in QuickBooks instead of removing the carriage returns like previous versions of ESC.
  • Added an option in System Setup | Progressive Billing to show previously billed invoices that are attached to the quote.
  • Fixed an issue with progressive billing where using the Bill Remaining Amount button wasn’t calculating the remaining values properly if negative values were used on the quote.
  • Fixed an issue with deleting a city with an apostrophe in Zip Code Maintenance.
  • QuickBooks 2008 R5P changed the way classes are posted to line items on an invoice. This version of ESC restores the original functionality that was broken by this QuickBooks patch.

==================
9.0.43 - 3/3/2008
==================

  • Fixed permission issue with posting Accounts Payable bills to QuickBooks and Peachtree.
  • Made some appearance tweaks to the New Company Setup Wizard and Search Attached Document screens to better handle Vista themes.

  • Made a change to the Enter Tax Codes screen where the tax code name can no longer be the same as the item name.
  • Changed QuickBooks United States integration back to the way it was prior to Version 9.00.42 where we post the actual tax group over to QuickBooks. This change was made to ensure an accurate Sales Tax Liability Report in QuickBooks. No change was made to the Canadian 2008 integration.
  • Added Invoices\Quotes tab to the Qualification screen. This enables you to quickly find all quotes and invoices created for a specific customer.

==================
9.0.42 - 2/11/2008
==================

  • Added the ability to use the arrow keys to move a field around in the layout designer. You can also use the Ctrl + arrow key to trim the field.
  • Added a SMTP Port field to the Company | System Setup screen where customers can choose which SMTP port they want for e-mailing invoices or paging out of ESC.
  • Fixed Inventory Warehouse Summary link issue.
  • Fixed an issue where if you tried to delete an invoice template you’d get an FSERROR.
  • Fixed a rounding issue in the Enter Purchase Order screen when items on the PO used three decimal places or more for the amount.
  • Fixed an issue in Layout Designer where if you set a label to have a rounded edge it was keeping is flat.
  • Made a change in Enter Vendor Credits where we save the data in a negative value format so the Purchase Order Detail\Summary reports show negatives for vendor credits. This will only affect vendor credits that are entered after this update.
  • Made a change with how ESC sends tax over to QuickBooks. This enables ESC to be compatible with QuickBooks Canadian 2008 however compatibility will be lost with customers using QuickBooks Canadian 2007 and prior.

==================
9.0.37 - 1/22/2008
==================

  • Added a new option in the Help | Send Support Files screen that allows customers to send the integration log file to Support.  This option replaced the ability to send the QuickBooks IIF file because we no longer use this functionality.

  • Made additional room for the date on the Purchase Order Detail and Summary reports.
  • Moved Connections Server log files to Help | About | Integration Logs.

==================
9.0.36 - 1/8/2008
==================

  • Moved the Connections Server log files into the ESC database.  You can now access the logs by going to Help | About | View Integration Logs.  Must update ESC, Connections Server (9.0.32 or higher), MapPoint Server (9.0.5 or higher) and the integration plug-in that is being used (SageQuest - 1/8/2008 or later, Xora - 1/8/2008 or later) for it to work.  This information is purged from the database every 30 days.
  • The History Report is now sorted by the customer and then by the invoice date.
  • Notes now wrap down to the next line on the Purchase Order detail report.

==================

  • Made a change where ESC will no longer allow a dispatch number to be entered into the Sales Invoicing screen if there is a mobile invoice that needs to be entered.  Also, saving of the invoice currently being entered happens immediately upon clicking on “Import mobile invoice” from the Activities drop down.
  • Improved the exporting and updating of GeoFences with the SageQuest integration.  The result of this is better information in SageQuest from ESC and a more accurate Travel and Stops report in SageQuest.

==================

  • Fixed an issue with the Point-of-sale invoice counter not working.  The customer must go to Sales | Setup Point of Sale, click into the Invoice Counter field and then click Save.
  • Fixed a bug where if you entered an overpayment into ESC and then canceled the payment through Cancel Payments\Credits an error would occur.
  • Fixed an issue where the Cancel button wasn’t working properly when posting an AP bill to QB or PT. 
  • Fixed an issue where the EXEMPT tax code was not exporting to QB properly.  The item for the EXEMPT tax code is now “Exempt Item”.
  • Fixed a sorting  issue in the “Parts Required - Detail” report under the Agreements | Reports drop down.
  • Fixed an issue with importing the customer list from QuickBooks into ESC.  The issue occurred when the customer’s QB database was larger than 20,000 customers.  We now break the import down into smaller chunks of data instead of just taking the whole customer list.
  • Fixed an issue where the last few characters from jobs being sent to PT were being trimmed.  This caused a problem when there were two jobs with very similar names.
  • Fixed an issue where if you brought up a previously saved quote, you could not search for the completed dispatch or manually enter the number.
  • Extended the field length of the City + State + Zip “Ship to” field in Enter Purchase Orders to be 50.  If the characters exceed 50, we now trim it.
  • Added functionality to have the quote invoice number be copied to the Dispatch Entry screen when you go to Activities | Create\Recall Dispatch.

  • Added security features in Setup Users for FrontOffice, ESC Mobile Web and ESC Mobile, these options are under the “Mobile” module.
  • Made a change in ESC where if any user except the Admin user has no checkboxes for their permissions, they will now have no access to anything.  Prior to this if a user had no checkboxes checked they had full access.
  • When entering a sales invoice, there is now a button when editing the description that lets you pull up an editor screen to edit large notes.  You can also double click the description field to open the editor screen.
  • There is now an option in “Setup integration to accounting” under “QuickBooks”:  “Don’t post Invoice notes to QuickBooks”.  If this option is set, we don’t post any notes on an invoice into the QuickBooks database IF there is not a sales account for that line item.  The main items that don’t have sales accounts are the HIST and DESC codes, these item’s descriptions will not post over to QB if the checkbox is clicked.
  • Added the ability to run the Inventory Warehouse Summary and Detail reports by a particular date range.

==================
9.0.9 - 10/19/2007
==================

  • The Enter key now simulates the Tab key in Enter Purchase Orders, Receive Items, Enter Vendor Credits, Enter Return Receipt and Enter Bills (Enter Bills is an ESC Accounting function only).
  • Changed the logic used when a third party is billed on ESC’s Sales Invoicing screen. Now, if a dispatch number exists on an invoice the equipment sold, history and attached equipment history will go to the customer\location that the dispatch is tied to instead of the billing customer. If there’s no dispatch number on an invoice then everything goes to the billing customer\location that is on the invoice.
  • Added the ability to use XX codes in Enter Purchase Orders.
  • Made it so that if the billing code being imported onto an invoice from a PO has the same account for Cost Debit and Cost Credit (creating a wash), the cost will import onto the invoice.  This change was made so that someone could import items onto an invoice that have already been costed when purchasing and allow them to put the parts on the invoice so the sales reports are accurate.
  • Fixed a bug where ESC was not letting you search for purchase orders numbers that where alphanumeric. 

==================
9.0.8 - 10/9/2007
==================

  • Fixed a bug where agreement usage was not being removed from an old agreement if the agreement number was changed on the invoice.

  • Fixed a bug where you were able to receive a serialized part into inventory and use an existing serial number.
  • Fixed a bug where if you were in Qualifications, clicked to open the agreement for the customer and then hit “Save” in the Enter Agreements screen an error would occur.
  • Made a few tweaks to barcode printing to make it compatible with more label printers.
  • Added a printer selection dialog box when printing from Dispatch Entry, Electronic Dispatch Board or Dispatch Schedule Report.
  • Added Alt + N as a shortcut key to the Purchase Order Number field in Enter Purchase Orders.
  • Improved the performance of the QuickBooks intetegration.
  • When using QuickBooks Merchant Services to process credit cards, added the last four digits of the credit card number and authorization number when a sales invoice or receipt is printed out.

  • Fixed a bug where if you selected to print a packing list for each invoice it was just printing two invoices.
  • Added comas to the sales invoice templates for dollar values of 1,000 or greater.  The fields that have been modified are Subtotal, Tax and Total.  Also added dollar signs to the purchase order template for the Total field.
  • The new feature that lets you know if there were invoices that were not posted to QuickBooks in the previous month was picking up Quotes as well. This has been fixed.
