Rev 15 Changes
If the operator did item number search, and entered between 13 and 18 characters, the program would stop with an Invalid Subscript stop at line 9440. This has been corrected.
Rev 14 Changes
There was a problem if the operator tried to access a procedure that they did not have security to enter, and then they tried to access the Inquiries/File Maintenance menu option (option 26). The program would log off the user. A change was made to correct this problem. This correction was done while Revision 13 was being released and was added to Revision 13 at that time.
A new global option was added to Accounts Receivable Control File Maintenance. This is field 31 Display Machines During Alpha Customer Search In Customer Care (Y/N). If this field is set to Y for Yes, the machines placed at each customer site will display underneath the customer information. The operator will be asked “Enter Item Type To Display Or ‘CR’ For All Item Types”. The operator can narrow down the number of machines displayed on the search. The item number, serial number, location 1 and location 2 fields are displayed. Because of space limitations, only the first 16 characters of the 25 character location 2 field will be displayed.

Sample of inquiry screen:

A new Global option was added to the Accounts Receivable Control File Maintenance. This is field 32 Display Ship-To / Bill-To Cust No.During Alpha Search In CC (Y/N). If this field is set to Y, then during alpha customer name search, there will be a second line displayed. The Ship-To Customer Number and Bill-To Customer Number will be displayed on the second line. If the Global field is set to N for no, the second line will not display. Prior to Revision 14, the second line did not display.

Note: If the Global option to display customer’s machines during alpha search is activated, and the customer has several machines, the same customer may be displayed on more than one screen. The Ship-To Customer Number and Bill-To Customer Number will only display after the first time that the customer is displayed.
