Enhancements and revisions in Adagio Payables 8.1A (2008.08.21)

Added new specification code 'G06 G/L Account' in the Check Designer to print the GL expense account / department when a Distribution Code is used.

New check specification field 'A23 MICR Check Number/Account Encoding' has been added to more easily get the correct spacing between the 2 fields rather than using the separate fields for Check Number and Account Encoding. The cheque specification has been updated in the sample data for Canadian Payments Association Standard 006 (AP$CPA01, 02, 03). The default CPA specs have been updated for the Designer.

Adagio Payables includes an additional 8 MICR fonts (for a total of 9) that may be used to adjust for slight variations detected in the MICR font when cheques are submitted for Canadian Payments Association Standard 006 compliance (an optional test available in Canada). Differences in printer drivers, printer rasterization engines and toner adhesion may result in failure of the test in the MICR font (while the cheques have been clearing successfully at the bank).

The additional fonts let you create narrower or wider and/or lighter or bolder characters in MICR fields on the check according to the following table (the font name is show on the second line of each cell). Note that these fonts are only needed in Canada. The MICR font provided with Adagio Payables since its initial release in 1999 has always been accepted by banks in the US and conforms to the 'Check 21 Act' enacted in October 2003.

The default MICR font (AdagioMICR) has been adjusted slightly.

Pennies printed on both Line 1 and Line 2 in some cases depending on the offset and length of Amount in Words field.

Printing 1099s now defaults to 2 forms per page.

The spacebar now works when entering Payment details for a manual check. Previously you had to edit each detail. For Cash Invoices, spacebar on and existing detail will give a message and then delete it. For a Prepayment, spacebar will show the message and then clear the Prepayment amount but not the Invoice Number.

In rare cases on multi-currency data, the Aged Cash and Aged Payables reports incorrectly reported a duplicate transaction.

An error occurred with clearing the Revaluation Posting Journal in some cases.

The Check Reconciliation report did not print certain alphanumeric 'cleared' checks.

Tax Status, Tax Group, and Price List fields have been added to the Vendor import and export templates. These fields may be used by Purchase Orders programs.

Enhancements and revisions in earlier versions of Adagio Payables

Refer to the Readme help file for details of enhancements and problems fixed in earlier versions.

Installing

To install Adagio Payables from the Adagio Product CD you need the serial number and install code from the Product Label that came with your CD.

If you are installing an upgrade, you need the serial number and install code from the Upgrade Product Label that came with your upgrade CD. A previous version of Adagio Payables should already be installed on your computer before installing the upgrade. If a previous version is not already installed, you can still install the upgrade. After entering the upgrade serial number and install code, you will also have to enter the serial number and install code from your original version.

If you are installing a Service Pack you do not need to enter a serial number or install code. However, a previous version of Adagio Payables 8.1A must be installed before the Service Pack can be installed.

To install Adagio Payables (or an upgrade), insert the CD in the drive. If the install program does not start automatically, run ADAGIO.EXE from the root of the CD. Once the install program is running you can click the Help button for detailed instructions. If Adagio Payables is installed on a network, you must also do a workstation install for each workstation running Adagio Payables. Refer to the manual or "Installing on a network" in the Readme help for instructions.

To install the Adagio Payables Service Pack, run the Service Pack program and follow the instructions on the screen. After installing the Service Pack, and depending on the version you were running prior to installing it, a workstation install may be required at each station running Adagio Payables. To determine if a workstation install is required, start Adagio Payables at the station. The workstation install will be automatically started if required. Note: If you are updating multiple applications at the same time, it may be faster to run the all workstation install to update all applications at once on the station. Refer to "Installing on a Network" in the Readme for instructions.

Upgrading to this Version

Versions 6.8B and earlier of Adagio Payables must be converted for use with 8.1A. If you convert while a System Check is in progress, the System Check run that was in progress prior to converting to 8.1A will be cleared to allow the conversion to complete. You will need to recreate the run from the Print/Post Checks and Advices function.

Check specifications created or edited with Adagio Payables 8.1A cannot be used with earlier versions.

Note 1: Adagio Payables 8.1A requires Adagio Inventory 8.0A or higher and Adagio BankRec 8.0A or higher when used with a multi-currency database.

Note 2: Adagio Payables 8.1A requires Adagio MultiCurrency 8.0C or higher when used with a multi-currency database.
