Deacom 16.01 Release Notes

Please reference the DEACOM suggested update path prior to installing DEACOM updates.

Accounting

  • Cash Disbursement Detail and Cash Receipt Detail Reports - Payment Types as well as all dtcash fields are now available to the grids on the Cash Disbursement Detail and Cash Receipt Detail reports in Accounting > Accounting Management.
  • Default Payment Types - A default Payment Type may now be specified on customer and vendor records. The field is available on the General tab of the vendor record and on the Credit tab of the customer record. This feature allows companies to filter for Payment Types when performing check runs and cash receipts.
  • User Fields for Terms - User -defined fields are now available to Terms. These fields allow companies to enter and store information outside of the fields provided in the system. User fields may be added via Tools > Maintenance > User Fields. For more information, refer to Configuring User Fields and User Calculations.
  • Rolling Period Reports - Beginning in version 16.01.081, the "Start Date" and "End Dates" fields on the Generate Financial Statement form is available when choosing all report types, including period reports, to allow companies the option to run rolling period reports across Fiscal Years.

eCommerce

  • User Defined Fields for eCommerce Categories and eCommerce Products - User Defined Fields may now be created for eCommerce Categories and eCommerce Products.
  • Document Categories - Document Categories have been added to the eCommerce Site form.
  • Parent Categories for eCommerce Categories - The ability to define parent category and sub-category relationships has been added via the Add Parent Category form on eCommerce Categories.
  • Invoicing and Paying an Order - A new eCommerce API, /Order/InvoicePay, has been added to allow shipped orders to be invoiced and paid.
  • Splitting Payment Types - A new parameter, "Payments", has been added to the Order/InvoicePay API call. This parameter replaces the "Payment Type" parameter and allows the eCommerce application to process multiple payment types for an order.

Inventory

  • Bill-To/Ship-To Cross-Reference Required for Inter-Co. Xfer - a new flag, Bill-To/Ship-To Cross-Reference Required for Inter-Co. Xfer, has been added to the properties tab on item master record. If checked, a Customer Part Cross Reference must exist to use the Part on Inter-Company Transfer Orders.
  • Containers - Containers have been added in the system. Containers represent storage units that hold inventory. Once inventory lots have been moved to Containers, inventory transactions can be performed by referencing the Container instead of the lots inside. This allows inventory to be moved more easily and means fewer transactions. In addition, Containers, like Work Centers, can be depreciated as a fixed asset and have maintenance performed on them via MRO.
  • Container Application Identifier - Application Identifier 250 can now be used to represent Container Numbers in Barcodes within Deacom.
  • Mass Upload of Serial Numbers and Catchweights - An "Import Excel" button has been added to the Edit Serial Numbers form on the Purchase Order receipt screen, and the "Catch Weight" field may be accessed from this form as well . This option allows users to mass upload serial numbers, and optionally, catchweight information, as well as allowing users to modify catchweight and serial information that has been uploaded, during the receive transaction. Additional information is available on the Utilizing Serialization help page.

QC

  • Add To QC Overrides When Creating Line Jobs - A new flag, located in Bill-To/Ship-To > Part Information > QC tab, allows users to automatically place a customer part's QC Groups and tests from various companies into their respective QC Overrides when issuing a Sales Order. If unchecked, the QC Groups will not be applied to further QC Overrides.
  • Added ability to create UDFs at the QC Test level - QC test user fields are available to the QC Summary and QC Detail reports in the Purchasing and Production reporting areas.

System Options

  • LDAP User and Domain - Users have the option of using their network username and password to login into Deacom applications (WMS, Cash Register etc.) in order to eliminate the need for separate passwords. To use the feature, users will need to enter their local network domain in the "LDAP Domain" field on the Company tab in System > Options and then set their network username in the "LDAP User" field on the Edit User form. Once these fields are populated and saved, users will use their network username and password the next time they login to any Deacom application.
