Release Notes for July 26, 2022

Notes

A number of major changes have been made to the shipment tables to clean up inconsistencies in the original definitions of the tables and to support multiple dispatch notes from the same sales order being shipped on the same shipment. The main aspect of the conversion is the use of a numeric document number instead of the sales order number in the EDIShipmentOrder and EDIShipmentAdd tables.  The necessary conversion can take longer than usual if the shipment tables are large and if multiple orders per shipment are normal. In addition, any "ShipmentNumber" column has been renamed to "Shipment" and other columns have also been renamed for consistency. In order to minimize the impact of any renamed columns, computed columns have been added for all renamed columns to allow reports etc. to continue to function.

In order to take advantage of the speed of direct SQL calls, support for SYSPRO 7 using C-ISAM has been dropped. 

Support for SYSPRO 6.1 was officially stopped a long time ago. We have continued to attempt to provide updates when required, but enhancements for the SYSPRO 8 user interface have made support for SYSPRO 6.1 impossible.

EDI file formats other than ANSI/EDIFACT (such as TPPC, Gentran, etc.) will not be supported in the future. Anyone using these formats should switch to reading/creating a pure ANSI/EDIFACT format as soon as possible to prevent the possibility of problems in the future. This does not affect the XML imports and template driven exports.

General Updates

2021-11-05 : Corrected intial display in system and shipping setup.  FIrst pane will always be the same even if treeview is sorted.

2022-06-15 : Added option in the outgoing address configuration to reverse line 1 and line 2 of an address after it is parsed.  This can affect both EDI and Shipping Solutions.

2022-03-10 : Imports with a forced allowance could not add a freight charge/cost.

If a forced allowance is setup as a freight charge or cost the fixed value will be used as the value and the multiplier used to calculate the other value (cost or charge).
