They would like to be able to specify, on the NL Journal Audit Trail report, which period they require the audit trail to be run in. He says that as the user can do this in both the SL and PL Journal Audit Trails,it should follow that the journal report runs in the same way, otherwise you end up with journals that have been posted in different months appearing on the same report

221435 FINANCE 2 AP Transactions Dispute notes added against invoice in trans enq are deleted from file plinvxm once invoice is paid, how can these be kept for cross reference. What happens, they raise an invoice in PL and then mark this as "under dispute". This sits in the purchase_item_ext table, with the dispute code against it. However, once this item is no longer under dispute and is therefore paid, the "dispute code" is erased from the purchase_item file. I explained that this is how the system is designed to work, as you wouldn't be paying an invoice that was still under dispute, so the dispute code is erased, to signify that it's no longer under dispute. However, she says that the customer would like the dispute code, or at least the comments to be maintained, even once the invoice has been paid, so that the enduser can see the history of the invoice, showing that it was once under dispute, and why, and then showing it as paid. Said that I will send this up to Product Marketing as an enhancement, although I did advise that this may be unlikely to be included in a future release, as it would probably be seen that, once payment has been made, the dispute code is no longer re  
221664 FINANCE 2 GL Cost Centres Want to be able to stop users having the ability to change the description on the posting code when changing the short description on cost centre. iemail The customer wants to have the ability to stop the users overriding the posting code description when changing the short description on the cost centre. Via the character screen I have been able to edit the messages file to remove this ability, but have been unable to do this for the GUI client, as the message that appears (F1 to abandon or F9 to update descriptions on posting codes). Would you please advise how we can remove the F9 ability via the GUI client.  
221770 FINANCE 3 GL Enquiries/Transactions & Full When an invoice is posted from Accts Payable to General Ledger, the description field says AP Invoice. But the description field on the expense code and the vat code say the Supplier Name. Is it possible for the description on the Control Account to show the supplier name? Set PLCONTPOST to Item. In Accounts Payable/Task/Invoices press F7 for single invoice. Enter an invoice and post it. Go into General Ledger Enquiries->Full Account or Transactions and view the Purchase Ledger Control Account. The description field shows AP Invoice. If you enquiry on the G/L expense code or Vat code, the description field shows the name of the supplier. The same thing happens If PLCONTPOST is set to Transaction. When viewing the Control Account it is difficult to reconcile the suppliers as their names are not shown.  
222075 FINANCE 2 AP Cash/Generate Payments from li In previous versions of CS/3, there was a way of getting the system to check the reference field on payments so that one didn't use the same cash reference twice - eg same cheque number. I was quite convinced that this was linked to the system key PLCSHREFV, however, it would appear that this is not the case and it would appear that this ability to prevent duplicate cash references in AP no longer exists. 18584 I have tried creating payment lists and using the same cheque number range for the same supplier and the system has merrily accepted that. I have tried posting manual cash batches, entering the same reference on two cash items for the same supplier and the system accepts that without a problem. This has been tested with PLCSHREFV set to NO and to YES but frankly it makes no difference either way. In CB one has the system key CBDUPCHEQ to prevent the duplicate cheque numbers but it would appear that in AP there is no such functionality. I have checked everything I can think of but simply cannot get this to work. Surely the system can prevent duplicate payment references - am I missing something really obvious here???  
222435 FINANCE 5 BC Create output file Form will not allow alpha characters in submission serial number field. The NEC is shortly due to change BACS processing software. This requires changes to form bc_comms in order that I may enter alpha characters in field "Submission Seriel Number" and be able NOT to enter a password in the password field. No modifications to the form will allow the above, I think this is due to the bespoke code that generates the output files *.OUT and *.LOG  
222664 FINANCE 1 AR Transactions Credit Limits Tom's Note: the issue is to do with unposted SLbatches not being included in credit checking. They have a customer that has a 20000 credit limit available and they have 18000 outstanding already of posted invoices that are open items. When looking at the supplier and checking the amount of invoices created by sales order processing that have not been posted yet within the sales ledger there is 2500 worth of them So there is 18000 worth of posted invoices from SOP 2500 of unposted invoices from SOP. But when going to sales orders to enter a new order the A/R balance is only 18000 rather than 2500. So the operator will be able to enter another sales order and despatch the goods without the credit limit being reached, even though they owe for more than 20000 alreadyI have tested this in house and it happens on version 3.0 too. Is this standard functionality  
222672 FINANCE 2 AP Batches Purchase Ledger Batches - Similar log Tom's Note: enhancement is to force the change of effective date on unposted invoices at period end iThe customer has found a problem whereby they have accidently not changed unposted batches effective dates when running the period end. But when coming to post the batches they have found that the batch has posted into a previous period in the Nominal Ledger and in the correct period in Purchase Ledger, but does not show on the audit trial. They had the system keys set to NLPREVPOST - NO and PLPERS - CURRENT. The customer would like to know how this has happened. I have noted your log 203565 that advises that a similar problem is how the system works. Please can you advise whether this is the case for the above scenario and if this is the case, why the same functionality is not within the Sales ledger or POP invoice batches.

At present if the NLYEAR system key of the source company is a year behind the target company the nl posting will post in to a future year in the nlmastm & nlaccm file. This causes a discrepancy between the nltranm and the nlmastm& nlaccm files.

However the following errors occur:- " percentage" and "percentage total is 0.00 - it must add up to 100" (see attached screen dumps).

If the adjustment period is closed to overcome this problem can it be re-opened if necessary via the system keys? What risks would this incur? What other means are there to overcome this problem? The exclusion of unclosed adjustment period movements from trial balance and other reports causes confusion and is unsatisfactory.The work envisaged is to change the period selection on the Summary and Detail Trial Balance reports to allow the entry of a start period of A. When A is entered and the adjustment period is open then the opening balance will include the Adjustment period movements for last year.

We have looked at hard-coding messages (but that not all customers have the same credit terms) or using the customer notes function for notes for the statement, but that seems like a very long winded way of going about getting something relatively simple onto the statements.

In AP invoice entry, we would like the effective date to be defaulted to today, so that this becomes the default for the effective date on all itenms in the batch. Currently it is left blank and the effective date defaults from the invoice date. Ideally, the default would also take into account which periods are open - i.e. default to today or the last day of the the last open period if this is earlier.

232262 FINANCE 3 PY Payroll payslips Enhancement Request. Using payroll with 1000+ employees, when printout the payslips by employee number the sort is incorrect. It reads the first number no matter how long the code is,so that employee sort would be 040, 1002, 1004, 110. This makes sorting out of payslips a problem. Have advised they use the alpha to print in required sequence, but am requesting enhancement at the request of the customer. Payroll Payslip print always treats the employee number as alpha-numeric which means that the sort order for those employees with three characters or less can be out of sequence. e.g.. 1004 is before 203. 24-Oct-01

It was suggested that specific menus be created for groups of users instead of disallowing options. As Tetra now builds it's own menus form these options allowed it is a lot easier to use this facility than to have lots of different menus in different formsets. Many users require different options in different companies which makes it very time consuming to control through menus. CS/3 is having more options added to it with every release therefore the number of options allowed or disallowed need to be increased as well.

Tracing these files and manually creating tables by which to unload them is time consuming and prone to mistakes - especially where the customer is unsure/unaware of the details of the existing archives. This is becoming more critical with the increase in use of ansi database backends, as the table name changes involved for database compliance are making the table names even more difficult to track. Also without data dictionary tables customers with RW modules cannot write reports on archives without first creating the correct tables.

Examples to be faxed to tetra When printing any report from tetra are getting a lot of blank lines if use tetra headers "y", particularly when printing landscape. Examples to be faxed to tetra on landscape prints where header = "y" it appears that printfmt is putting in several blank lines after the company name , date & time but before it prints the headings of the report. It also leaves a large gap at the bottom of the page. When printing portrait, the system prints 66 lines per page where headers are "n", however, if headers are set to"y", it only prints 64 lines in total ( including headers). I have tested this by setting up a file as a dummy printer & doing a printfmt $@ > to this file. This reproduces the error . The customer is most bothered by the landscape problem as it wastes a lot of paper for him.

Since moving to oracle the customer has been unable to read archive files because there is no mechanism within to allow online data to be in oracle and archive data in isam. Also the customer is unable to archive for the opposite reasons. This of course is pertinent to works orders and purchase orders also.

206738 REPORTING   TL Linking if Purchase Invoice Original Ref: 2099 Allow Tetra Link built in function AfterPLinvoice/EndPLinvoice to pick up due date form PLPAYTERMS syskey/supplier Payment Term filed. Currently the only option is to default to today's date, or import a date form ASCII file but different suppler need to be set to different payment terms. E.g. +30 days, or end of month +30 days. If Tetralink could automatically default in the correct date i.e. form PLPAYTERMS / Supplier payment terms fields, due date would correctly reflect required due date, as Tetra would when manually entering a P/L invoice.

216000 SERVICE 4 JC jobs There is no F2 Browse for Customers as in T2000 when entering a job. I'm writing to you regarding your log 216000 -F2 Browse on customers functionality not being available in Sage CS. T2000 and Sage CS are different products and therefore do not share exactly the same functionality. I have tested and you are correct that the F2 browse on customers option is not available in Sage CS, as it wasn't in CS/3 either, so I have passed this log onto Product Marketing as an enhancement request on your behalf.  
216845 SERVICE 4 RB Contracts Browse on Contracts enhancement Contract Management System enhancement request. After selecting a customer within Contract management tasks or enquiries the browse on "contracts" displays the contract number and customer name. This is of no use as the customer name is by definition identical for all contracts displayed. The contract description should be displayed. This has been discussed with Tracey Coles, who advises that this facility does not exist at present.

218376 SERVICE 1 PR Sales Order Entry The screen for the project and revenue code info if running Project Accounting, does not automatically pop up when entering Sales Orders. While one has system keys to control the entry of the GL code there is no way to remind a user to enter a project and revenue code on this screen. This problem actually exists in both OP and PO in fact. When one is entering transactions in SL, PL, GL and CB, the Project and Expense/Revenue code fields automatically display on the screen. However, in both OP and PO one has to use an F7 to get that info to display. In terms of the sales code there is a default from the system keys so if one were not using Project accounting and one forgot to go into that screen, it would not be a problem. However, if one forgets to go into that screen where Project Accounting is involved then it is a major disaster. At one stage in Release 3.0, that screen did in fact automatically pop up (although I've been totally unable to recreate that since upgrading to CS/3). I have also tried various things with forms to see if one can force those fields to display without the F7, or else to force the user to go into the F7 but nothing has worked so far. This is now becoming a critical problem at this site as their user's are not always remembering to enter the project and expense
