  • Resolution: Users can now process orders as long as they have access to Checkout.
  • Issue: Checkout is unable to process payments for credit return orders.
  • Resolution: Processing credit payments now works correctly unless it is a credit card type. This will still need to be processed in the Payment Viewer module if you are connected to a Payment Gateway.

CSV Import/Export

  • Issue: The Part and Product CSV's cannot import part images.
  • Resolution: Both CSV's can now upload images correctly.
  • Issue: The Currency CSV instructions reference "QB Class".
  • Resolution: This incorrect reference has been removed.
  • Issue: The Payment Data CSV will import payments with a $0 amount causing errors when exporting to accounting.
  • Resolution: Payments with $0 will be skipped on the import.

Manufacture Order

  • Issue: Changing an items quantity to 0 on the WO Details tab will cause it's associated pick item to also be changed to 0.
  • Resolution: Items can no longer be set to a 0 quantity on the WO Details tab.

Part

  • Resolution: The Vendor Parts edit window is now sized correctly.

  • Resolution: These picks no longer receive an error and open correctly.

Product

  • Issue: If you delete a product that has custom field data then open another product the module would ask you to save changes.
  • Resolution: Custom field data is no longer left filled in after deleting a product so it will not ask to save changes to a blank product.

Receiving

  • Issue: Reconciling a part will fail if that part was received and then was on a pick and shipment that were both voided after being shipped.
  • Resolution: This scenario no longer causes an error as the voided shipment should not be considered during the reconcile process.

Sales Order

  • Issue: Sales Order items with Manufacturing configurations can take a long time to open if you have a lot of images.
  • Resolution: Added better indexing to the Image table to load these orders much faster.
