Accounts Receivable	Post Pending Credits/Deposits	▪If the Post Pending Credits/Deposits process fails for any reason, the system displays an error message. However, previously there was no way to know which Deposit Receipt and/or Credit Invoice was processing when that error occurred. ▪The posting procedure now creates a processing table (dba.AllocateReceiptParams) of these transactions. ▪If an error occurs, the last record (order by ID DESC) in this table is the one with the issue.
Accounts Receivable	Receipt Posting	When entering a Receipt dated within on AR Closed Period: an error is displayed that the Period is closed, but then the process does not stop until user manually closes the Receipt Posting Form. The User may now correct their entry (Date) and proceed.
Accounts Receivable	Sales Taxes Breakdown	If the User had selected the Report Type as "Collected" in the Sales Taxes Breakdown report, and then selected Print, an error of "Error -195:Column 'newlocaltaxcode' in table 'b' cannot be NULL" was presented. This issue has been corrected.
Accounts Receivable	Proposal	When a Proposal is Converted to an Invoice, the Proposal will not be Deleted and no message will be displayed offering that option. Now the User will have the ability to control whether or not the Proposal should/will be deleted when it's Converted to an Invoice. ▪To enable this new functionality, using the Interactive SQL (dbisql) utility, execute this script: if not exists(Select 'exists' from dba.CompanySettings where Section = 'Proposal' and SettingName = 'DeleteProposalWhenConverting')then insert into dba.CompanySettings(Section,SettingName,SettingValue) values('Proposal','DeleteProposalWhenConverting','F') end if ▪The result will continue the normal process where the Proposal is Not deleted when it is Converted to an Invoice. However, once this script is executed: within Company Settings, you may re-set value of 'DeleteProposalWhenConverting' to True ( 'T' ) to automatically Delete a Proposal when it's Converted to an Invoice.
Accounts Receivable Service Tracking System	Work Order Invoicing/Review	a)Disabled Action Icons (i.e., Refresh Data, Go To, Purchase Orders, Print, Export) when the Work Order Listing data grid is in Edit mode. The User will now have to save or cancel entries to re-enable these Action Icons. b) Program was deleting Appointments when the User modifies something, for example, the Priority field when the system was set to "Delete Appointments On Completion" and not set to "Confirm Appointment Deletion" in the Service Options tab of the User Options Form, c)If the Work Order had scheduled Appointments, they are being improperly deleted. ▪Program will now properly look-up and honor those settings and only Delete Appointments when appropriate, and only when the Work Order is marked as Completed.

Service Tracking System	Work Orders	Added the ability to Email the contents of the Parts List tab on the Work Orders Form.
Service Tracking System	Technician Scheduling	Added a "Show On Google Map" option when the User has selected an Appointment record within the Day View tab of the Technician Scheding Form.and Right Clicked their Mouse. Also, Reorganized the Right Click Menu to be more intuitive.

Accounts Payable System	Check Register Voiding a Payment (Check)	Voided Checks - The Check Register Report will now show any Voided Check(s) with the original date of the Check and its Amount in the Credit column; that same Voided Check Amount will also be listed as an additional entry in the Debit column.
Accounts Payable System	Purchase Order	MKMS displayed an error "Period is closed to all edits" when trying to insert a Detail Line Item into a Purchase Order that already existed and was originally entered in what is now a closed period. This is now permitted.

If this Job Costing record is being created by Converting a Proposal to a Job, the Proposal Number is automatically inserted. iii.Proposed RMR - No entry required. If this Job Costing record is being created by Converting a Proposal to a Job, the monthly RMR Rate offered on that Proposal is inserted. ▪There is a new Job Invoice Multi Usage dialog - When the Use Inventory option is selected on the Item List sub-tab or the Inventory Reserved sub-tab of the Inventory tab of the Job Costing Form, the new Job Invoice Multi Usage dialog will be displayed. The User may identify: oEach Inventory Item that has been used on a Job oALL items in the list as having been used oThe Warehouse from which each Item was taken oHow many (Quantity) were used oWhether an Inventory Item should be inserted into the Subscriber's Installed Equipment Form. ➢Note: The most recent Forms.txt file must be installed and the appropriate User Access Rights to the Job Invoice Multi Usage dialog must be granted.
