What’s New in 1.9.9.x

Latest Build: 1.9.900.20; 5/19/2020

What’s New in 1.9.900.19

·         Printed Proposal – Added an option to allow a choice of how to sort quote line items on the printed proposal, either by the order line items were entered on the quote or by price on the quote line item, highest to lowest.  Previously quote items were automatically sorted by price.

What’s New in 1.9.900.17

·         Service Location List Report – Added location type to the Service Location List report.

·         Job Summary Analysis Report – Added Work Suggested Notes to Job summary analysis report.

·         Location History Report - Enabled job instructions, work done, and work suggested notes exporting from job summary analysis and location history report

What’s New in 1.9.900.16

·         Inventory Requisitions, Returns, and Transfers – Added the warehouse Bin No column to the item detail for reference and for sorting.

·         Project Manager – Added project description to the search parameters on the SEARCH view.

What’s New in 1.9.900.6

·         Time Slot Capacity Management - helps you better manage the scheduling of appointments. From both Call Taking and Dispatch, you can easily see how many appointments are booked versus your capacity.  This allows call takers and dispatchers to find open slots quickly.  This also helps fill open slots created when calls are canceled or rescheduled and helps you stay scheduled to capacity.  For more information click here.

·         Invoice notes – Added an additional invoice notes field in Company Setup that will print on the front page of AR invoices to accommodate regulatory requirements in certain states.  Also added a checkbox that will allow the invoice notes to print in a large (12 pt.) font as required in certain states when printing regulatory information.

What’s New in 1.9.900.3

·         Mapping with Google Maps and Real Time GPS Data – You can now see, in real time, where your fleet is in Google Maps.  This results in more accurate ETA calculations to customer sites, taking current traffic into account.  This feature relies on an integration with a GPS data provider.  Currently, SuccessWare®21 ingrates with two of the top GPS fleet management providers to provide GPS data: TomTom and GPSTrackIt.  For more information on Mapping with Google Maps, click here.   For more information GPS Link, click here.

What’s New from 1.9.800.x

·         Decline Minimizer Experience far less declines and avoid making calls to get updated card information with OpenEdge's Decline Minimizer program.  For additional information click here

·         AR Invoice posting performance – Posting invoices or payments would get slower when there were a large number of unreconciled items in the default cash box account.  This would be noticeable if neglecting to reconcile the cash box account on a regular basis, or when posting a large batch of periodic billing invoices.

·         OpenEdge (XCharge) Add-on Properties

o    Aliases can be exported to a CSV file for transfer to your new processor

o    Aliases are not removed when disabling payment processing

o    The user can choose whether to keep aliases or not when switching to a new processor

o    Added the ability to re-enable payment processing when it is crippled because of a domain or company number change

o    Prevent access to payment processing functionality when logged into a tutorial database

·         Agreement / Periodic Billing Improvements

o    When setting up recurring payments for fixed term agreements the recurring payment end date is no longer based solely on the end date of the agreement. Fixes have been put in place to make sure that the number of recurring payments to be processed will match the number of periodic invoices remaining to be generated.

o    Added an action link for displaying the recurring information directly from XCharge

o    Do not allow creating of a recurring payment when the Next Billing Date is before the recurring payment that would be created

o    Do not allow cancelling of a recurring payment when billings that would be for a recurring payment are missing

·         Invoice notes – Added an additional invoice notes field in Company Setup that will print on the front page of AR invoices to accommodate regulatory requirements in certain states.  Also added a checkbox that will allow the invoice notes to print in a large (12 pt.) font as required in certain states when printing regulatory information.

·         Timecard Report – When the 'New page for each employee’ option is checked, a note and employee/company signature lines can be printed below the employee totals.  To modify the signature note and configure whether or not to print the line for a company signature or not, go to the Other tab in Company Setup.

·         Cash Receipt / Customer Refund – If an error occurs when posting from the cash receipt form or from the customer refund form, the XCharge transaction will also be voided.

2/17/2020

Call Center

On some systems, particularly in the Citrix hosted environment, when scheduling a call via the browse window, sometimes the call could not be dragged onto the board. This was occurring for calls with a long location name which would be truncated in the browse list window and cause the full name to be displayed in a tool tip on top of the list item when mousing over it to select it. The tool tip is now suppressed in order to avoid this interference.

2/14/2020

Call Taking

When changing the name of a customer in call taking and selecting the New Owner/Occupant option, for Concern or Other calls only, posting the phone call would fail with 'Post phone call failed' message when the location did not have a carbon copy billing account.

2/12/2020

Excel Imports/Exports (Journal Entry import, etc.)

Corrected installed driver detection issue for Imports/Exports that require Microsoft ACE Drivers. In some cases 32-bit drivers were detected as being installed however they were not, or no longer, actually installed. For compatibility the ACE 2010 32-bit drivers are recommended since both 32-bit and 64-bit drivers of the same version cannot be installed at the same time and Office 365 seems to prevent ACE 2016 drivers from installing.
When no compatible ACE driver is detected as being installed the user prompt will indicate the recommended driver for download

12/31/2019

Payroll Manager

If employee extra checks had been added during payroll period reconciliation, then the period adjusted, preparing the entire period or verifying all employees in the period would cause wages for any employee that had an extra check to double. Note that verifying an employee individually had still been calculating properly.

12/26/2019

Printed AR Invoice

When showing tax included amount on the invoice the tax included amount for the line item was showing the per unit tax amount and was not taking Quantity into account.

12/12/2019
