5.0.168

  • Fixes error when importing selected rows when multiple assemblies are specified in List Assy P/N column.

  • Fixes saving of List...Currency/Date Formats...Set Date Format.

5.0.167

  • PO and RFQ dates on printed reports were displayed with a fixed "short date" format. Now the date is displayed with the same user-set date format used elsewhere in the program.

  • Removes Portrait-only limitation of PO and RFQ reports so custom report layouts (only) can use a landscape orientation.

  • When changing the Type of an item created within an ECO to PL or CAT (on the Edit Item window), the parts list may now be edited (on the Edit List window) to permit the assembly definition to be built entirely within the ECO.

  • When changing an item created within an ECO to a MadeFrom item (on the Edit Item window), the MadeFrom relationship can be edited (on the Edit List window) to permit the item definition to be built entirely within the ECO.

5.0.166

  • Restores mutual exclusivity between CAT/PL (list types) and parent P/Ns on the item master pane controls.

5.0.165

  • Sets report module to work with previously saved custom report layouts.

  • Avoids update error message when adding item to ECO that has zero-length string in PNNotes field.

5.0.164

  • When 'Switching Manufacturer Name for Selected Items' or 'Switching Vendor Name for Selected Items,' all selected rows were not being transferred in one session. Now they are.

5.0.163

  • Fixes vertical lines showing on single row per item reports.

5.0.162

  • Sets Buy and Build pages to validate entry on the P/N dropdown, just as it does on other pages. ECO page dropdown now validates entry also.

  • Fixes CalculatePOTotals error message caused when auto-generated RFQ/PO is created with Tax2 setting of "Apply to Subtotal + Tax1"

5.0.161

  • Printing from the Assy Tree now accommodates up to 20 sub-levels, increased from 14.

  • Fixes Cost Summary Tree for very small cost values (subassemblies with total costs of only fractional cents were being rounded to zero).

5.0.160

  • Fixes 'Primary Only' selection when generating RFQs from a Purchase List.

5.0.159

  • Applies saved report layout to RFQs and POs when printing a group of documents from the Buy page.

5.0.154

  • New Import option permits user to specify separating reference designators with comma+space or space only. Flyout from Tools menu.

  • Importing was not saving the 'Item Stock' column value if the item's Status was Released. 'Item Stock Add' and 'Item Stock Subtract' functionalities were unaffected. Imports to refresh Item Stock are now independent of item Status.

5.0.153

  • Adds new export column from Assy Tree, showing parent assembly for each item (sometimes called 'Next Assy'). Active for exports to CSV or Excel.

5.0.152

  • Adds new File...File Utilities...Maintenance menu item: 'Refresh PLL only before needed' . This causes an internal refresh of assembly relationships to execute just before needed in Purchase List and Kit List compilation instead of occurring during other operations. May save time in some large database installations.

5.0.151

  • Import utility using 'List Assy P/N' column (for importing multiple assemblies) was assigning wrong title for the assembly if listing did not also contain the companion line item for the assembly item itself. (Corrected a bad response to sloppy import data.)

5.0.150

  • Fixes overflow message when opening POs and RFQs in very large data files.

5.0.149

  • Receiving decimal order quantities on a PO was sometimes resulting in a slightly different value due to data type conversion.

  • Changing the Status of an item to Unreleased now immediately enables the Parent, MadeFrom and Controlled checkboxes on the Item Master, which previously required saving and refreshing the record to enable them.

  • The input box for changing the Vendor name now has additional text to clarify its purpose: This is for fixing the spelling of this name only. To change Source to another vendor, be on the Vendor...Items Supplied grid and use the menu item List...Switch Vendor Name for Selected Items.

  • Same as above for changing a Manufacturer name.

5.0.147

  • Parts lists printed from the ECO Edit List window now have the option of appending the ECO number onto the report title.

  • PO total was sometimes showing rounding error for sum of high resolution subtotal and taxes, resulting in least significant digit being off by one cent.

  • If the default report layout file for a listing becomes corrupted (error 5711), the program will now unhook from that (.rpx) file and inform the user that it is doing so.

  • If attempting to close the Permissions dialog with no user set as PVAdmin, program prompted to fix this, but closed the connection to the database so that entry couldn't be fixed. Now works correctly.

5.0.146

  • Items in QuickBooks that are subitems of others are now transferred into P&V without their parent items. Example: Item ABC:DEF from QB is now transferred into PV as item DEF.

  • 'Copy Selected to Another List' action is disallowed if the target list is on an open ECO or its Status<>Unreleased.

5.0.145

  • On the Add Item dialog, a fast-find entry was not always causing the grid to scroll to the relevant item.

5.0.144

  • When importing multiple assemblies in one session, some installations would not successfully complete the operation, producing an error message that referred to an OLE or Memo field.

  • Multiple assembly imports would leave Title = "Imported List" and Detail = "From file <filename> unless the overwrite box was checked. Now, if new destination assemblies have a line item in the import list, then the Title and Detail fields are written from available data.

5.0.143

  • Fixes false barcode status message 'FAILED' when scanning inventory adjustment on item master page that does not match input. Scanning from any other tab/page did not result in false 'FAILED' message.

5.0.142

  • Fixes error message upon attempting to import new/replacement vendor information for an item.

5.0.141

  • When importing multiple lines of the same P/N to add or subtract from Stock (columns 'Item Add Stock' or 'Item Subtract Stock'), quantities are now combined for the operation.

  • When importing multiple lines of the same P/N to set the stock quantity (column 'Item Stock Qty'), the last instance now overwrites previous instances (subsequent instances were formerly ignored)

  • Typing fast-find entries on the Import 'Set P/N for Selected Rows' dialog were causing an error message. Picking from the dropdown list was not.

5.0.140

  • Extends expansion of item master Revision field to 10 characters into ECO functions (was limited to previous 4 character field size). Run UpdateFileFormat.exe to set new field sizes in data file.

5.0.139

  • Fixes situation where entering foreign vendor costs on an RFQ would save incorrect value into displayed Cost on Vendor...Items Supplied grid (saved price breaks remained correct).

5.0.138

  • Editing the BuyNet quantity on the Purchase List will now cause program to re-look up the price break and extend costs on that grid.

  • If default PO notes file is missing, program was locking up when auto-generating POs. Now it shows a message that describes the problem.

5.0.137

  • On Compare Parts List window, menu item 'Print to PDF' was opening the report layout editor.

  • Program was permitting duplicate PO numbers

  • 'Other' item was being checked for duplicates when being added to POs.

5.0.134

  • When making a Purchase List, the option of updating item and assembly costs was doing so even if the costs were set to zero (per cost option setting). Now zero values on the Purchase List don't update the item master.

  • Fixes ReadMe screen opening every time program is launched.

  • When making a Purchase List where 'Reduce by Qtys on Orders' was selected, and 'For Job#' was not, and PO line items for a part included a MIX of job numbers, the OnOrd column was less than the actual total on the specified range of POs.

  • Report title was blank when printing documents for selected rows on Pending RFQ(s) and Pending PO(s) grids.

    -Keystrokes now cause open enhanced dropdown to scroll to matching item on the list.

5.0.130

  • Importing of Mfr and Vendor website URLs was causing an error. Now it doesn't.

  • Converting from a PV4 format data file was not updating certain cost fields from single to double precision, requiring running the separate UpdateFileFormat.exe utility. This function is now included in the conversion utility that runs upon opening the V4 database.
