Release Date: February 01, 2023
Improvements
Company
NS-10910 and NS-10926 Improved the File Import feature for GL Journal Entries and added GL Account Master File
An entirely new file import feature set has been implemented. There are new templates for file importing that you can find here. For more information on how to use them please view our FAQ. Stay tuned as we continue to add more file import templates throughout the year.
System
NS-10638 and NS-10805 Added support for making direct connection to SendGrid for Email from NorthScope
SendGrid is an email processing service that handles things better than our current DB Mail. This release sees initial support for making direct connection to SendGrid. This should continue to improve your emailing experience within NorthScope.
NS-10879 Updated the Email Body Message format for emails sent from the Print Window
In an email you have important parts and less important parts. It makes sense that the important part would be first and not buried by less important parts. This is exactly what we did. The boiler plate email parts are now at the end of the email instead of the beginning.
NS-10341 and NS-10337 Added a new file upload feature for attaching files to Notes
We like it when our customers are attached to NorthScope, it makes us feel all warm and fuzzy inside. We had an inkling that you all would like to attach more than just yourselves to NorthScope… Now inside the Notes dialog for all master files and transactions, there is an “Attachment” note type that allows you to upload one file at a time via the notes dialog.
Bug Fixes
Fisherman Accounting
NS-10871 Fixed an issue with Bank Transactions not creating Journals
Yep, that’s a problem. If you are on a version that has this issue and use Bank Transactions, there is a high likelihood that we have already patched your system. This is just us telling you that we have officially released a fix for it.
NS-7973 Fixed an issue with Fisherman Sales and Pending Payment Receipts when the Fisherman Sale is deleted
When you create a Fisherman Sale with a payment, we create a pending Payment Receipt in the background that gets posted and applied to the Fisherman Sale when the Fisherman Sale is posted. However, when a Fisherman Sale is deleted, the pending Payment Receipt was left in the background needing to fend for itself. This is no longer the case as we now will delete the pending Payment Receipt along with the Fisherman Sale.
Inventory
NS-10867 Fixed a rounding issue with UOM conversions for Fixed Weight Items
In some cases the weight would be rounded down for fixed weight items instead of being rounded up. This has been corrected with a custom rounding function so that it’s a consistent user experience.
NS-10523 Fixed an issue with Mass Updating the To Warehouse Lot field on Transfer transactions
When mass updating the To Warehouse Lot field on Transfer Transactions, the unit of measure values would be cleared. This is not a fun thing to deal with because you need unit of measure values on inventory transactions.
Purchasing
NS-9910 Fixed an issue with field lengths on transactions causing the Invoice History and Invoice Line History Inquiries to break
Descriptions on Invoices and Credit Memos are allowed to be 150 characters long, however a bug in the Invoice and Invoice Line History Inquiries would cause them not to load if a description was greater than 60 characters.
NS-10900 Fixed an issue with the Default Item Property being Disabled on the Invoice/Credit Memo Transaction Class Record View
Default Items are used for automatically generated Invoices and Credit Memos (these can come from rebate settlements, integrations, etc.). This field was inadvertently disabled on Invoices and Credit Memos. Likely, you haven’t even noticed it and after this upgrade, you won’t ever notice it. Even though there is a chance it wasn’t seen, we believe in transparency here so we thought we’d take the time to tattle on ourselves.
NS-10692 Fixed an issue with Invoice Transaction Discount Amounts not displaying as expected on Payment Batches
When discount amounts were manually input on Invoices, they were not displayed correctly on the Payment Batches screen. Don’t worry, we know how important discounts are, this has been resolved and there will no longer be a difference in discount amounts based on the screen you are looking at.
NS-10696 Fixed an issue with the Purchase Order Lines List View displaying Purchase Orders from all companies
If you have a multi-company system and both companies use purchase orders, you may have seen Purchase Order lines from the other company. We realize you are different companies and hopefully this didn’t cause too much confusion but let’s just get this upgrade and we can all forget it even happened.
Sales
NS-10863 Fixed an issue with mass updating more than one sales order when the class was set to assign the Invoice Number from the Invoice class
When mass updating many sales orders from a status below approved that had not had invoices printed or assigned yet, the transaction class was set to get the invoice number from an invoice transaction class, and doing more than one transaction would result in a duplicate key error.
NS-10716 Fixed an issue with duplicate key errors for multiple Sales Orders on new system implementations
In very rare circumstances, Invoice numbers would appear to be duplicated and raise an alert. This caused no underlying data issues and was just an incorrect alert.
NS-10708 Fixed an issue with special characters breaking the Report Name Override feature when trying to print reports
Special Characters can sometimes be a special pain. There were issues when using the #, however we checked some more. We checked: $ & + , / : ; = ? @ # %, let’s hope that is enough of a check, but you let us know if it’s not.
