Improvements - NorthScope Web app / UI
Financial
NS-9974 Added the Payee Address, Payee City, Payee State and Payee Zip fields to the Check Register Inquiry
Now you have quick access to the address of the payee. Go figure.
NS-10616 Improved the performance of the Journal Lines History Inquiry
It’s faster now.
Fisherman Accounting
NS-9873 Updated the Fish Ticket History and Fish Ticket Item History Inquiries to drill to the Fisherman Record View for the Fisherman Account (Paid Account) and Permit Account (Permit Holder)
Everyone likes a good shortcut. Now you have two more, you can navigate to the Fisherman Record View for the Fisherman Account (Paid Account) and Permit Account (Permit Holder) from the Fish Ticket History and Fish Ticket Item History Inquiries.
NS-10123 Updated the Fisherman Sale and Tender Resale Record Views to honor the Item setup for Quantity decimal places
Previously when entering an item on a Fisherman Sale order Tender Resale, the item would not abide by its setup of decimal places. Now, if the selected uom is a unit type then the unit decimals will be used and if the uom is a weight type then the weight decimals will be used. This all comes from the Item’s setup.
NS-10258 Updated the Manual Premium lookup on the Fish Ticket Record View to filter applicable premiums based on the Fish Ticket Premium setup
This was an interesting one. Previously in the Manual Premiums dropdown you could pick any Premium you wanted and then if it was applicable, it would calculate on the Taxes & Premiums detail screen. But if it wasn’t applicable then it wouldn’t. This is a lot like telling someone, “I almost got you a present”. This isn’t fair to anyone and we have updated the Manual Premiums dropdown to only show you Premiums that are applicable to the ticket.
NS-10642 Updated the Fisherman / Tender / Loan Record Views to mask Tax ID Numbers via a new preference
A new preference in Fisherman Accounting titled, “Mask Tax ID Numbers” is available with options of Yes or No. If you choose Yes then Tax ID Numbers will be masked with *s.
NS-11211 Added "Fishing Began" column to the Fish Ticket Item History Inquiry
Yup did that.
Grower Accounting
NS-10407 Updated a procedure to have a custom procedure called to support customizations
The Grower Accounting save process has been updated to accept a custom procedure for any postprocessing desired.
Inventory
NS-8467 Updated a rollup procedure to improve performance with large datasets
We store historical inventory data and as the years go on, that dataset grows and grows. When this happens things slowdown. We have improved performance for these large datasets.
NS-11145 Added Expiration Days to the Item Mass Update for Lot Tracked Items
Who likes to eat expired food? Anybody? Ok it’s probably an obvious answer. Now imagine you have a lot of items that need their Expiration Days updated. It’s tedious and time consuming to open one item at a time and update it. So we added this property to Mass Update.
Sales
NS-11061 Added Due Date to the Customer Activity Inquiry and added Discount Days and Due Days to Sales Transactions (Quotes, Orders, Price Adjustments and Returns)
It’s nice knowing when something is due, especially when you are going to be receiving some money. That’s why we added Due Date to the Customer Activity Inquiry. We also gave you the ability to set Due Days and Discount Days on the Sales Order Properties tab. This is defaulted from the Payment Terms but can be overridden.
Bug Fixes - NorthScope Web app / UI
Financial
NS-11263 Fixed an issue with the FN Project Summary NS Report and Project Transaction History Inquiry not displaying Voided transaction details correctly
That’s all we have to say about that.
NS-11582 Fixed an issue with the GL Accounts File Import due to a recent system data formatting change
As we convert pages and improve upon them we are constantly finding ways to improve things under the hood. We did that previously but that improvement cause other issues. We have resolved these though, nothing to see here.
Fisherman Accounting & Purchasing
NS-11472 Fixed an issue where sometimes printing the ACH Remittance would cause a truncation error due to the length of a URL
Some URLs are short and some are long. It takes all kinds for the world to go round. However, NorthScope wasn’t fond of long URLs and would cause issues. This is no longer the case and your URLs can be as long as you want (assuming they are as long as the browser allows).
Inventory
NS-11459 Fixed an issue when trying to process a Void & Correct for Inventory Transactions
In some systems, when trying to process a correction for a Transfer, an error about a missing table would display. This wouldn’t cause any data integrity issues and has now been resolved.
NS-11607 Fixed an issue on the Item Balances List View where multiple lines for the same Item would display when that item had multiple lots with different costs associated with it
Turns out that costs were costing us. How you might ask? Well if you had multiple costs then it would display double in the item balances. This was costly.
Sales
NS-11417 Fixed an issue processing a Brokerage credit when settling to AP
When processing a credit from Brokerage, the incorrect item would be assigned. This has been resolved.
NS-11463 Fixed an issue with the Remaining amounts on Contracts not always displaying the correct value
In some situations, the Remaining amount wouldn’t calculate correctly. There shouldn’t be other situations, but if you find any please let us know. We also simplified the contract calculations and as such have slightly improved performance.
NS-11542 Fixed an issue with updating Item units/weight values on the Sales Order Record View for Item tracked Items that are set to auto-allocate on Fresh Install systems
That title is a mouthful and as such, we don’t have much to add to it.
