EDI-PAC: New Version 6.5a - May 2001

Thanks very much for your support of our product. We hope you will find the new features and improvements an asset to your company. We have made a number of exciting changes to the EDI-PAC program due to requests from current endusers.

Before installing an update, please read me!

The following are the new features and enhancements to EDI-PAC from version 6.4b:

 

1. Compatibility with ACCPAC Plus version 6.5 of WSM, I/C and A/R
   • This version supports the new ACCPAC Plus version 6.5 for I/C and A/R file structures. Prior EDI-PAC versions are not guaranteed or supported for integration to these ACCPAC versions. Prior ACCPAC Plus versions are still supported under this EDI-PAC version.
2. Importing Orders
   • Importing now checks for special pricing that relates to a customer's price list code as well as specific item code.
   • The detail line "picking sequence" is updated from the item location file if it has been set there.
   • A change was made in the item price calculations that would occasionally see rounding errors to .01.
   • Processing SDQ type orders would not calculate extended order amounts, the order value would be 0.00. This did not cause integrity problems. It only affected printed orders with totals showing.
   • SDQ type orders previously had a limit of 256 lines per order. This has now been increased to 512 lines per order.

    

3. Exporting Invoices and Credit
   • A new TOT line field has been added.
     • The new field is called "Total Invoice Amount Before Taxes" The "TOT" line type is exported when the "Extra Information" option in the Company Profile is turned on. The offset for the new field is 48. It comes right after "Net Amount Due". See \doc\layout.doc on this diskette.

    

4. Extended Category File Support
   • Certain versions of Inventory Control create the category file as an extended ISAM file. EDI-PAC now handles both extended and non-extended isams.
