Spell Check
A spell check link has been added to the email editing window so you can check spelling before an email is sent. You can also check spelling when authoring email templates. Note: Spell checking requires Microsoft Word 2010 or higher to be installed.
Updates to Existing Features
Check values when sending purchase orders electronically
The system will now warn you if you attempt to send purchase orders via OOP and the PO has option names or values that contain the pipe ( | ) characters. PO's that use this character cannot be sent via OOP, resulting in PO's that would not send and would not report a reason. You will now be prompted to remove the | character before sending.
The process for taking payments has been updated
You must now close all Order Entry windows when recording payments. This is to help ensure consistency in the sale/order data. When a payment is to be recorded you, will be asked to close all open Order Entry windows. If you are recording a payment while in Order Entry, Order Entry will be closed and after the payment is taken you will be returned to the previous sale or order.
More updates
- The Edit Customer dialog can now be re-sized.
- Additional customer and order activity messages are recorded when adding, updating and deleting payments.
