Release Notes for July 27, 2021

The list below are the most recent enhancements and corrections to the Cadacus Solutions for SYSPRO solutions including EDI, Shipping, the Handheld WMS solutions, and more. These enhancements and changes are not published, but are available on request. Please contact your primary support provider regarding requesting any of the updates.

We have endeavored to test the changes as thoroughly as possible, but as all releases share the same code base there is always the possibility of an unforeseen complication. Best practices include local testing and user sign-off prior to going live in any production environment. If any problems arise, please contact your primary support representative.

Notes

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 caused some of the screen features to stop working on SYSPRO 6.1. We are sorry, however, nothing can be done if an enhanced program has problems on 6.1 except encourage the upgrading of SYSPRO to version 8.

EDI file formats other then 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 effect the XML imports and template driven exports.

General Updates

2021-07-13 : The EDIChangeHeader and EDIChangeDetail tables have been added to track any changes to system settings. The main system setup and the Shipping/Handheld WMS setup are change enabled at this time. As other setup programs are converted to the new setup they will be change enabled. There are no reports or queries at this time, but the tables are accessable with your favorite report writer.
