Improvements
Fisherman Accounting
NS-8900 Added the ability to have a custom Fisherman Statement launch from the Fisherman Balances page
NorthScope ships a Fisherman Statement report that outlines each transaction for a given fisherman and many other parameters. But for some, there are customizations that are needed for the report which would amount to having a custom version of the Fisherman Statement. It’s ok, *sniff* our feelings aren’t hurt. However, the issue with the customer report was that you couldn’t launch it from the Fisherman Balances page. This issue is no more with this release, it will require a custom preference, but once it’s set then away you go.
Inventory
NS-8867 Updated the Lot History inquiry to display the current Site ID instead of the historical one
Our history inquiries in inventory run off of historical tables. These tables stamp ID and description/name values at the time of posting the transaction. What can happen though, is a Site ID might change and in so doing, the old Site ID is displayed. This has been resolved and we now use the currently saved Site ID to display in the Lot History Inquiry. You could say this concern is history.
NS-9309 Production Batch Days Old value display
Sometimes it was displayed as positive and sometimes it was displays as negative. Now, throughout the system, any page that displays Days Old, will be positive. This means that if the Batch was created 5 days ago, then Days Old will display as 5 and if the Batch was post-dated 5 days that means it will display -5.
NS-9305 Transaction History – Lot Inquiry will display the Received From value from the Receipt Transaction
For Production Batches that are created by Receipt Transactions, the Received From field is used to set the Received From value on the Production Batch. However, the Production Batch supports multiple received from values and as such would either display one value if only one existed or the word “Many” which is not very helpful. Since this inquiry is a transaction based inquiry and Received From comes from a transaction, we opted to display the Receipt Transaction’s ‘Rec. From’ value.
Purchasing
NS-9232 Purchase Order lines don’t abide by the Item Setup and UOM Conversions
The Purchase Order record view only has one Ordered Qty column and as such allows users to order in a single unit of measure. Items that are managed by Units and Weight will be allowed to order in a single unit of measure, however if there is no conversion found, the user will be warned of the missing conversions but will be allowed to save.
NS-9301 Single Invoice and Receipt Purchase Order improvements
In Purchase Orders, users can set a Vendor at the header of the transaction and at the line level. This adds some complexity to Purchase Orders that are set as “Single Invoice” because Invoices have Vendors only at the header level of the transaction. Seeing the potential complication for Invoices, we updated our definition of “Single Invoice”. Any Purchase Order that is set to “Single Invoice” will require that each unique combination of Purchase Order and Vendor have an Invoice tied. Additionally, we removed the ability to assign Lot Tracked lines in Purchase Orders a Line Vendor. This restriction will simplify satisfying the “Single Receipt” requirement on Purchase Orders. Lastly, Credit Memos and negative Receipts do not count against the “Single Invoice” or “Single Receipt” designation.
System
NS-9329 Updating a transaction line and removing another only Removes the selected line and does not update the updated line
When clicking the Remove Item button on any NS Framework 3.0 page and attempting to updating another line item would result in the updated lines changes not being saved. This has been corrected, so now, the Remove Item button will both remove the selected and update the line being updated. If you are really ambitious, it will also insert a new line. While we were working on this, we fixed the GL Account Class list view, the Statistical Accounts list view and the Warehouse Lot list view as delete didn’t work at all on those pages (NS-8588).
Bug Fixes
Fisherman Accounting
NS-8251 ACH Prenote missing fields for successful Prenote test with Wells Fargo
Prenotes were implemented some time ago, however for prenotes to be successful we had made changes to client’s sites post release. Now that some time has passed and prenotes have continued to be successful, we are officially releasing a prenote that integrates successfully with Wells Fargo.
NS-8612 eLandings download caused ticket version unique key conflict
When downloading tickets that had been previously downloaded, in some situations users would experience a unique key error. We kicked that error to the curb, because let’s be real, what does that even mean anyway?!?
NS-9224 Fisherman Balances page included unposted transactions in the posted balance column
The Posted Balance column is meant to show only posted transactions. However, Payment Receipts and Fisherman Sales or Tender Resales with payments would display in the Posted Balance column causing the imbalance between the Fisherman Balances and Activity screens. Since exterminating this bug, only posted transactions will be a part of the Posted Balance.
NS-9152 Process Payments sometimes times out from the Fisherman Balances screen
When processing a quick payment from the Fisherman Balance list view, sometimes it would time out. After further investigation, this was due to the page sending all the data to the server for save instead of just the data that was changed. This has been corrected and quick payments can be just that, quick.

Sales
NS-8624 Quick Sales list view mass update for both Quick Sale – Employee and Quick Sale – Customer transactions did not work properly
Mass Update is a wonderful tool, except when it doesn’t quite do what you expect. Occasionally when marking a combination of Quick Sale – Employee and Quick Sale – Customer transactions as ready to post, integrations wouldn’t work or Quick Sale – Customer transactions would be left in a status of “Ready to Post”. This isn’t any fun because usually it required support to correct the issue. After this release, Mass Update on the Quick Sales list view is back to being a wonderful tool.
NS-9341 Change Address does not save Country
We think the title pretty much sums up what we fixed. But just to be sure, the Change Address screen launched from the Sales Order record view did not save changes to the Country field.
Sales Programs
NS-8928 Processing Settlements for Returns or Price Adjustments would use the incorrect account
When processing a Brokerage Settlement, the incorrect account was used for the credit account. This has been resolved and while we were in there, we also improved performance.
NS-9082 Sales Program rate override does not let you set the rate back if previously set to $0
If a user decided to override a Sales Program rate from the Program Details page (launched from the Sales Order record view) to $0, afterwards the rate was not allowed to be changed back to the default rate. This is no longer an issue.
