Improvements

Inventory

NS-3659 Updated Inventory Transaction Record Views

Paging was added to the Items grid on all Inventory Transaction record views to group line items in batches of 25. This change improves the performance of transactions containing many line items such as transfers.  As part of this development item mass updating was updated to work across pages on record views.  

Note: This change impacts the system view of Inventory Transaction Records and any previously saved custom views must be recreated. 

Purchasing

NS-3684 Added a new Preference for defaulting UOM’s and defaulting the Purchase Account on AP Invoices/Credit Memos/Purchase Orders

A new Purchasing preference titled, “Default Invoice, Credit, PO UOM” was added that impacts AP Invoices, Credit Memos and Purchase Order transactions. The preference displays a dropdown menu containing all the active UOM’s for the current company, sorted alphabetically. The preference defaults to “Each” when “Each” is an active UOM in the system, otherwise the preference defaults to blank. As you are creating these transactions, the UOM for each new transaction line will default to the UOM set in this preference. If no default preference is set, or the UOM is inactive, new transaction lines will not default a UOM value.

In addition, as you are creating these transactions, the Purchase GL Account for each new transaction line will default to the Vendors default "Purchase" account. The default Purchase Accounts can be assigned from the Accounts tab on the Vendor record view. 

Note: New line items on these transactions, without a Description, will not be saved.

NS-3684 Added a new Preference for defaulting UOM’s on AP Adjustments and Balance Transfers

A new Purchasing preference titled “Default Fishing UOM” was added that impacts AP Adjustments and Balance Transfers. The preference displays a dropdown menu containing all the active UOM’s for the current company, sorted alphabetically. The preference defaults to “Each” when “Each” is an active UOM in the system, otherwise the preference defaults to blank. As you are creating these transactions, the UOM for each new transaction line will default to the UOM set in this preference. If no default preference is set, or the UOM is inactive, new transaction lines will not, new transaction lines will not default a UOM value. 

Note: New line items on these transactions, without a Description, will not be saved.

Bug Fixes

Framework

NS-3728 Fixed Search Result Navigation to Work Across Pages

Previously, when a search was performed on the Sales Order Transactions or Sales Order Transaction Items pages using the search text box, and the results spanned multiple pages, the search filter was ignored when a user navigated to the second page. 

Inventory

NS-3681 Fixed Adjustment Transactions to treat all items as variable weight

Previously, unit-to-weight conversion and the item’s "Require Whole Units’" property were enforced on Inventory Adjustment transactions for all items. This created situations where remaining balances that no longer met these rules could not be corrected. A change was made so that Adjustment transactions treat all items as variable weight items that do not require whole units.   

NS-3690 Fixed a UOM conversion issue with variable weight items on Inventory Transactions

A previous addition was made to all inventory transactions to set the units or weight values for items managed by units and weight, based upon the UOM conversions. This caused issues for variable weight items where the amount entered by the user was being overwritten by the UOM conversion.  The code has been updated to only set the conversion values when the item is a fixed weight item. If the item is variable weight the weight amount will still populate based on the units, but the value can be overwritten.

NS-3724 Disabled Input Tab Grid and Toolbars Icons on Production Transactions when status Approved or greater

Previously, when a Production transaction was approved or posted, the grid and toolbar icons on the inputs tab were enabled. The Production transaction record was updated to disable the grid section and grid toolbar icons (except Excel toolbar icon) when the transaction status is Approved or greater. 

Note: The Mass Update grid toolbar icon is now disabled on all transaction types when the transaction status is Approved or greater.
