Highlights - 2018.3

New Features - 2018.3

Fixes - 2018.3

  • Resolution: The error log now provides a more detailed error

  • Resolution: Alert Notes now work for products in Checkout

Customer

  • Issue: Using the checkbox to "Show all related jobs" in conjunction with the active/inactive status filters in the customer advanced search caused confusion
  • Resolution: A tooltip was added to clarify that selecting the option to show all related jobs displays results regardless of active/inactive status of a customer job

Payment(s)

  • Issue: If processing payments through Stripe and the name field is blank the payment would not process
  • Resolution: Payments will now process even if the name field is blank
  • Issue: When importing payment data from a csv file and transaction id has data with payment method set to something other than credit card, attempting to delete the payment would give an error
  • Resolution: Payments can now be deleted in this scenario without error
  • Issue: Using wallets with Authorize.net, when a customer profile reached more than 10 cards, an error message incorrectly stated the transaction was declined even if the card was successfully charged. Also, no payment record was created in Fishbowl.
Please note Authorize.net only allows a maximum of 10 cards to be saved to the customer profile (wallet).
  • Resolution: The message in this scenario has been updated to advise the transaction was successful but the customer profile was not updated

  • Issue: User access right to view for Dropbox in MO could not be selected/deselected
  • Resolution: You can now select/deselect this access right

  • Issue: When adding items to a SO using the quick list the margin, markup, and cost fields have no value assigned ( Zero Dollar/Zero Percent)
  • Resolution: These fields now have the correct dollar(s) and percentages displayed
  • Issue: When using carton based shipping and adding a shipping line item to the SO, the SO Subtotal, and SO Total Price do not update to the correct amounts
  • Resolution: SO Subtotal and SO Total Price are now correct in this scenario
  • Issue: In the schedule module, if the current task runs longer than when the next scheduled task is set to run and you cancel the queued up task it gives an error
  • Resolution: If the task hasn't completed the next task will not get added to the queue

  • Resolution: This error is now fixed when using the auto fill carton feature with products

Purchase Order/Receiving

  • Issue: Using multi-currency, when you set the exchange rate on the PO, after receiving the PO you could change the exchange rate causing costing issues when syncing to accounting packages

Product

  • Resolution: This scenario no longer causes an error as the voided shipment should not be considered during the reconcile process.
