The Software Focus Panels have approved and scheduled the following items for development in Quarter 4, 2018. To submit a development request for the next meeting, please email dev@acr.com.au and outline your request.
| Module | Description |
| Debtors | Debtor Follow Up System – Notes – Add conversations The Debtor Follow Up System will be modified to include a conversation section, similar to that which exists in Invoice Log already. |
| Debtors | New Customer Field to store a PDF copy of Credit Application A field will be added into the Customer File which will provide a means to store a copy of a customer’s credit application. |
| Debtors | Statement Message Maintenance – Define Message for All Customers that are overdue Statement Message Maintenance facilitates defining a statement message that covers the qualifier type of ‘All Customers’. This feature will be enhanced so that a separate message can be set for ‘All Customers’ who also have an overdue amount. |
| Customer B2B | Customer Maintenance – B2B – Advices – Enabled support for multiple email recipients The Customer B2B Advice fields, such as ‘On Receipt’, ‘On Picking’ allow for a recipient email address to be set for a given Advice Type. The system will be modified so that multiple email addresses can be set for a given advice type. |
| Sales | Sales Front Ends – Extra panel on right-hand side for more detail Sales Front Ends within the system will be enhanced to include an extra panel on the right-hand side, which will be utilised to show additional data relative to the currently focused, for example product comments, products images. |
| Sales | Quote Maintenance – Find Quotes By a Specified Product Quote Maintenance will be modified so that the ‘Find’ qualifier has an option to specify a ‘Specified Product’. This will then find quotes that contain the specific Product. |
| Stock Control | Modify Underlying System Architecture To Facilitate Long Product Descriptions To facilitate future development, the systems back end architecture will be modified so that product descriptions up to 512 characters in length can be stored and the front-end software will have a configuration in place that restricts this to 30 characters. Future development will leverage these changes to increase the 30 character limit in the configuration where it is possible to do so. |
| Stock Control | Create an ‘Order Log’ for supplier orders The system will be modified to include a new ‘Order Logs’ screen for supplier order, much like the ‘Invoice Log’ available for customer invoices. The ‘Order Logs’ screen will be launched via a button on the ‘Display an Order’ screen and will outline detail regarding the Supplier, Oder statistics and make available conversations for recording interactions with the supplier. In addition to the above when an order is printed, this will be automatically logged as a conversation indicating how and to where it was printed. |
| Stock Control | ‘Export Next Cost/Prices’ & ‘Print Next Price Report’ – Add checkbox qualifier to include secondary suppliers The qualifier forms for ‘Export Next Cost/Prices’ & ‘Print Next Price Report’ will be modified to add a new qualifier for including secondary suppliers. |
| Reporting | New Report – Deferred Discount Report A new report will be developed that will report on Deferred Discounts for a month. This report will include a ‘Deferred Column’ for the month, as well as a ‘Discount Allowed’. By including both sets of information, an operator could compare reports from consecutive months to better understand how their discounts are being utilised. |
