Changes in this version:

• Resolved a problem populating Address Types upon initial startup of a new installation.
• Resolved several problems inserting new Country records. Corrected a bug involving the postal code entry format. Additionally, fields completed automatically by ProENTRY in the Country update window based upon standard address formatting are now disabled to simplify new record creation and eliminate the introduction of errors (applicable to US and Canada).

  • Drag and Drop support; available only to the licensed user, not dealers
  • Option to sort by postal code or city
  • Optional filtering capability on state or province, city, or postal code
  • Direct access to Postal Codes window is now available in both the Catalog and Order maintenance programs. From the top line menu, select Maintain, Postal Codes
  • Added import function for US zip codes. Canadian provinces will be added, but postal codes are not supported at this time due to data licensing and cost issues (approximate $400.00 US), but this is being investigated further.

  • A Batch Manager window displays export batches in a relation tree with the associated .ext files as well as order and Spec-Group information. Deleting batches or individual .ext records here will remove the associated .ext files from the disk.
