Changes / Fixes in each Release

V4.0.41

• Fixes a problem where the 'Buy in Multiples Of' value for an item with no primary source is set to the last non-zero (or non-1) 'Buy in Multiples Of' value when making a Purchase List.

V4.0.40

• Fixes problem introduced in release 4.0.39:  Persistent Pv.exe/tabctl32.ocx error upon launching. Error invoked by closing program on Build page. To release, download and run (ftp) Pv4039startup.exe or (http) Pv4039startup.exe. (8k), or update to release 4.0.40 for a permanent fix.
• New checkbox option on Buy page to generate RFQs for primary sources only.
• Fixes 'AddToTree' error message after Type of new P/N had been changed to CAT or PL, and tree had not yet been refreshed.
• When 'Suggest Next P/N' overflows, it now shows the existing data that exceeds the maximum limit.

V4.0.39

• Currency data is transferred as numeric values when exporting directly to Excel or Copy/Paste via clipboard (was previously causing formatting difficulties in Excel).
• When converting an RFQ to a PO, default notes (from user file) are now inserted into the new PO.
• Right clicking on a grid column heading caused column to shrink to a minimum width. This 'feature' has been disabled.
• Cost Update options on the BUY page were not being saved if another tab on that page was selected before saving changes on that page.
• Fixes error message in CalculatePOTotals (Invalid control array index) when autogenerated PO has 2nd tax enabled and setting for Tax2 on Subtotal + Tax1.

V4.0.38

• Items on Orders grid (PO page) now can have columns for Title, Detail, Type and User fields.
• If the utility to 'Separate Reference Designators with Spaces' encounters (or causes) data too long to fit into the RefText field, it will now identify the offending record(s).
• Inserting the date with Ctrl+; on the Item Master was not setting the edit indicator nor being saved if that was the only edit on the page.
• Clicking on the Files/URLs tab when the 'Add Item' dialog was open would lock up the program.

V4.0.37

• ECO module: When changing a P/N by ECO, the text "~~ECO" was incorrectly being appended to the saved P/N.
• Saved View and Saved Filter dropdowns on the toolbar now show more items without the need to scroll.
• When printing an RFQ or PO that already has a Response/ShipTo address (from a previous preview or print), that already-specified address will now appear in the 'Choose Address' box when it first opens, rather than the first available choice from the database address settings.

V4.0.36

• When faxing RFQs or POs, the RFQ or PO number is now sent to the Winfax subject field.
• When making a new PO, the totals on the grid footer (from the previous PO) remained until the grid was refreshed or new line items were added. The footer is now cleared when the new PO is created.
• Program was allowing changing a PO# or RFQ# to an existing number if the checkbox 'Show PO/RFQ for this Vendor Only' was checked.
• Field for Mfr P/N had not been available when filtering.
• Revision textbox on the control pane now expands with the width of the pane.

V4.0.35

• Some CSV files have the incorrect format of placing a space between commas that separate empty data fields. While there should be no characters between the commas, P&V will now accommodate the bad format when importing data.
• ECO edition only -- New P/Ns created by pending ECOs are set as Status=R and have explanatory message to not delete in Title and Detail. Release of ECO will overwrite/update the data in these fields.
• ECO edition only -- When attempting to add an item that is on an open ECO to an assembly, the program will prompt for a 'Yes/No' response to 'Add anyway.' When doing this on the Tree view, and responding 'No', two benign error messages appear from 'AddItemToTree'. This has been fixed on this release.
• In ECO-Permission Setup, if the data file is in use the error message: '70-Permission Denied' appears. This has been replaced with more explanatory message.
• If MadeFrom is unchecked on an item with MF dependents, program prompts to confirm (reinstated feature was disabled in 4.0.33).
• In Merge, the Primary setting for other Source records is now cleared when the new data has a primary Source.

V4.0.34

• New utility to Convert Vendors to Manufacturers. From menu choose File... File Utilities... Convert Vendors to Mfrs.
• Merge utility has a new checkbox to include/exclude the 'Stock' field when doing a bulk merge.

• Fixes resolution error in inventory valuation report and Sum of Column function (was causing a few cents discrepancy with very large values).

V4.0.33

• On the ECO Edit Item window, the Zoom text dialog can now be opened from the popup menu. This is helpful when editing item notes.
• Prevents changing the Type of an item to PL or CAT if the item is already part of a MadeFrom relationship.
• On the Item Master, the Assy Cost tab caption and Linked Vendor option buttons are tied to the Type and MadeFrom settings for the currently displayed item. Both controls are set upon refreshing the record, and now are also set immediately upon saving the record.
• File manager window was not saving changes upon closing the window unless another row or a column heading was clicked first.
• New option in ECO Settings to permit Merging into a file under ECO control, by a user with PVAdmin permission. Overwrite action of items is limited to items with Status = Unreleased.
• Bulk Merge now transfers all Mfr P/Ns, even if not linked to any item.

V4.0.32

• Suggest Next P/N (and RFQ/PO number) now correctly adds leading zeroes for last 'Suggest' option. (Suggests 00002 when highest existing is 00001.)
• When attempting to add an item to an ECO when that item is on another open ECO, a prompt appears which reports that fact, but was showing the ECO's ID instead of the actual ECO number. This has been corrected.
• Modified auto-find action on the main dropdown lists on the control pane:  It is now possible to edit the text in the textbox portion of the control without each new keystroke causing a search action. This is useful when desiring to move to another known P/N, e.g., changing from P/N 1234 to P/N 2234 by editing only the first character, then pressing <enter>. Or, from P/N 1234 to 1244 by editing the 3rd character, etc.  Must press enter to refresh the record after such an edit.
