9.0B release notes

• Multi-user record locking has been significantly improved, allowing users to post batches while other tasks are being performed. Users can now enter transactions into an Invoice batch while a cash batch is being posted.


• Print checks for customer refunds when using Adagio Payables V8.1C. You can write off credit balances or specific transactions to create a check for printing via a manual check batch in Adagio Payables. Customers may be linked to specific vendor records in Adagio Payables. The Payee name and address can be automatically set from either Adagio Payables, the main customer record or any contact name and address associated with the customer. This function can be used to easily pay off credit balances or manage a customer rebate program.


• Filters may be defined to restrict the display of customers in the main Customer Grid. Filters can compare a database field in several ways:
  
  

Against a constant Balance Outstanding > $10,000

Against another field Balance Outstanding > Credit Limit

• Up to five conditions may be specified to isolate the records you wish to display. Column settings are saved by user by filter name to make it easy to display just the information you need.

Filters are automatically refreshed during a Data Integrity Check and when a customer is saved after editing.


• Colour and font attributes can now be set for customer display in the main Customer Grid. Styles are defined under the File Menu and are shared by all Adagio modules.

• Optional field validation is now available. Text fields may be forced to a specific length and to UPPERCASE. In addition, they can be validated against a table of valid entries presented as either a combo box (for small numbers of valid choices) or a database finder field. Users may add entries on the fly, or forced to make a selection in the field. Fields shared between modules (such as Customer optional fields and OrderEntry orders will share the same validation tables without duplicate entry.


• User Preferences have been added to the File Menu to allow each user to control facets of their Adagio experience. Users may place text and images on their Adagio Receivable desktop and may customize the desktop background color. Alphabetically sorted field lists can now be selected for the Grid column editor and new Filter definition function. Report options such as remembering the field entries and ranges can be controlled by the user. Column display settings are now saved by user / company in a data file that will be backed up when “All modules” is selected on the File | Backup function.


• Automatically calculate customer aging on a daily basis. Automatically apply Styles to highlight customers that are on hold or whose accounts are overdue.


• Import / Export supports .xlsx formats for spreadsheets, allowing the processing of more than 65,535 rows.


• Transaction may now be sorted in ascending or descending date order in the customer transaction grid when viewing either the Current or Historical transactions.


• Statements and letters can now be printed to file as either TXT, RTF or PDF documents. This provides a mechanism for creating a structured output file for attaching to an e-mail.
