Current version is 7.00 Build 42 - 08/24/10
Thank you for using Keystroke Point of Sale.
This file contains a listing of changes made to both Keystroke Advanced POS v7.00 and Keystroke POS v7.00
program and its modules made since the release of v7.00 Build 19 (beta release) on 02/14/10.
- Lines beginning with a hyphen are bug fixes for recently introduced errors.
****** Most Recent Changes *******
8/24/10 - v7.00 Build 42
- Removed the fix from build 41 since the program now correctly handles the
report settings files even if they don't have a version number in them.
CNF - Security Levels - Changed the default security level for "Edit Payment
Auth Code" from 8 to 2 (this change only affects new data sets). This is
also the default for "Enter Auth Code" when creating new payment types.
CNF - PACK - Contact/Matrix Items - If the CustomerNumber/StockNumber field
on the Contact/MatrixItem record is 0 (or negative) then the record will not
be copied to the new data file (it will be discarded as a bad record).
CNF - PACK - Orphaned Contacts - Before packing the Contact Database, the
program will now ask if it should check for and remove Orphaned Contacts
(those that have a Customer Number that no longer exists in the Customer
Database). If answered as "Yes" (default is "No), then the program will look
up the customer for each contact as the contact records are copied (note that
this extra lookup step slows down the pack process).
CNF - PACK - Orphaned Matrix Items - Before packing the Matrix Database,
the program will now ask if it should check for and remove Orphaned Matrix
Items (those that have a Stock Number that no longer exists in the Inventory
Database or that a have a Matrix Table or Matrix Code that does not match up
with what is defined for the inventory item). If answered as "Yes" (default
is "No), then the program will look up the inventory item and matrix table
for each matrix item as the matrix item records are copied (note that these
extra lookup steps slow down the pack process).
POR - Added support for entering and looking up Inventory items by the
AltID# field.
POR - Added support for the following fields to be displayed in the line item
detail box (93=Last Qty Ordered, 94=Last Qty Received, 95=Last Purchased
(Ordered) Date, 96=Last Received Date, 97=Last Counted Date, 98=Last
Transferred Date, 99=Last Sold (Ordered) Date, 100=Last Shipped Date.
(see DOC\DetBox.doc)
TRN - KeyPay Payment Entry - Even if the Auth Code field is set to allow
entry/editing, the program will jump out of it the first time the field is
made active. This is to help guard against accidentally changing the field.
TRN - Check MICR - If the MICR on a check is entered by hand (or through a
keyboard wedge), the program will now strip out any spaces.
TRN - KeyPay Payment Entry - The program will not attempt to authorize a
payment if the "Card #" field is blank.
- CLOSEOUT - Check Calculator - Print to Screen - Would not print on more
than one page.
- CLOSEOUT - Report - Payment Details - The Client Number that was being
printed on ROA Payments in the detail report was the client number from the
last regular sales payment instead of the ROA payment (all other information
including the customer's name was correct).
- CLOSEOUT - Check Calculator - Fixed Error 9 if the print function was used
from the Check Calculator and the Audit Printing Reports parameter was on.
- CNF - Sales Transaction Types - moving existing transactions from the
standard transaction files to their own alternate transaction file was not
working. The function that copies the transactions was not copying the
transaction header to the new file.
- CNF - Audit Parameters - The Audit Entry Code was always case sensitive
even if the "Passwords - Case Sensitive" parameter was off.
- CNF - Export - Matrix Items - fixed the menu that was showing Matrix Items
could be exported by other fields besides Matrix Code (they can only be
exported by Matrix Code).
- CNF - Pack - Databases - When packing a database and a record has a Number
of 0 or less (Stock Number, Customer Number, etc.) then the program assigns
the Next available number to it as it is saved. The problem was during the
pack the next available number was the highest number packed so far instead
of the Next Number from the file being packed. The program will now use and
update the Next Number as it was in the file before it was packed.
- CNF - Tables - Taxes - After using the Tables - Taxes - Tables (or
Districts, or Codes) function, the program recalculates the Tax Percentage
displayed on the list of Tax Tables. However, this amount was sometimes wrong
on one of the tax tables (could be as much as doubled). This only happens
when using one of these functions and only affects the displayed list, not
the actual taxes calculated. Editing tax tables from anywhere else in the
program was working correctly.
- DATABASE - MATRIX/CONTACTS - If there are over 30,000 Matrix Items or
Contacts, it was possible for the indexes to skip a small number of records
when adding a new record. This only happens when the a record is added near
the beginning of the list (somewhere in the first 30,000 records
after at least 30,000 records have already been added). If it did happen only
about 20 records would longer be found. If it is believed the either the
Matrix or Contact databases may have this problem, packing with this or a
later release will recover those records.
- DATABASE - MATRIX - If the Matrix button on an inventory item was selected
while a matrix item was already loaded, then the program would give an
error 10.
- DBM - Search and Delete - The Search and Delete function would sometimes
get stock deleting the same record over and over again.
- EXPORT - When exporting a database sorted by a text field, and the text
field had extended characters in it, some of these characters were not being
compared correctly (due to Window's translation of characters) and could cause
either the wrong records to be included or for the export to quit before all
the data had been exported.
- KSEXPORT - If the END= switch was not used to set the ending range, the
program was defaulting it to a string of 10 character 254s which would
sometimes cause the export to end too soon if the field being exported
included extended characters.
- GLLINK - Store Transfers - Linking Store Transfers was not working (would
give an Error 59).
- GLLINK - Store Transfers - Store Transfers to/from Store #0 where not
posting the entry for Store #0.
- IMPTRN/IMPPOR - Customer/Vendor Phone # - The import function was removing
all characters from the imported Customer/Vendor Phone # that were not
letters or numbers. It now uses the text as it is imported.
- KSR - CUES - Matrix Analysis and History reports were not working when
run through the report cues function.
- KSR - Inventory Analysis - Hidden Items - If grouped by Department and
the Inventory - Include Hidden Items parameter was on, then hidden items
were being printed in both the "Department Not Found" and their actual
department sections.
- KSR - Inventory Database - Roll Child Into Parent - If this parameter was
on and the parent item had child qtys to add in which then gave a total QOH
of 0 the program would generate in an error 11 (division by zero).
- LOGO - DATA CONVERSION - The Entry Code (password) for changing the Audit
Parameters was not being converted correctly.
- LOGO - DATA CONVERSION - Store Transfers - the files KSTRHDR.DAT and
KSSTR.DAT were not be renamed to .v6 nor moved to the v6Data directory.
- LOGO - Customer Database Screens - The program was being shipped with the
Customer-Flags field on the 3rd database screen when it should have been
Customer-UserFlags. Since Customer-Flags should not be used on a database
screen, the program will check and then switch any field on customer database
screen from "Customer-Flags" to "Customer-UserFlags".
- LOGO - Data Conversion - The program would sometimes give an error when
converting an Audit Entry of deleting a Variance record.
- MATRIX ITEMS - Avg Cost - The program was running the routines to make sure
that matrix items under a single inventory item either were all set to a Null
average cost or each had its own average cost.
- MOUSE CLICKS - If a field that is not active was clicked on (usually a
label field) and the next active field was a button, then the button was
being activated. Now it is just highlighted.
- POR - Manufacturer - Inventory Lookups based on the Manufacturer field were
actually looking up via the AltID# field.
- POR - Special - Receiving - The Load button on the Receiving function was
not working (was not able to find the transaction correctly).
- TRN - Age Verification - If a customer was not assigned to the transaction
(i.e., customer is Cash) then the age verification function was not working
(was treating the customer as if born on 12/31/1984).
- TRN - Convert Transaction Type - If a Sales Transaction type was set to
allow it to be converted to a transaction type that was not enabled, that
option was still appearing on the Special - Transaction Type menu even though
it was not a valid choice (and would not do anything if selected).
- TRN - Gift Registry type transactions - The Delete Filled Line Items
parameter was not working with transactions marked to "Copy Shipped Items to
New Sale" (Gift Registry).
- TRN - KeyPay Payment Entry - If using a payment authorized through KeyPay
and the Skip Amount parameter was turned on, then the program was not
allowing the payment amount to be changed.
- TRN - KeyPay - Removed the ability to use the [Esc] key to cancel a request
once it has been sent to KeyPay.
- TRN - Menu - Special - The Quick Save and Quick Load functions were not
working when selected from the menu (the hot keys [Shift+F10] and [Ctrl+Home]
were working correctly).
- VAR - Reports - Variance - Individual - The Record List Box used to select
Individual Variances for reports was not working.
- VAR - Variance Date/Time - Display issue with the entry box, the words
"Date/Time Range" were being splashed across the top of it. This was a
display issue only, function still worked correctly.
- VAR - Variances converted from v7 were displaying the TotalCost and
TotalPrice as 10x more than they actually were (the actually line items
on the variance are correct).
- VAR - Matrix Items - Entering a Matrix Item on a variance by using the
Product Code field was not working.
- STR/STRUPDTE.EXE - Updating Matrix Items was not always working correctly
and would sometimes add the matrix items that already existed to the store's
matrix data file causing it to grow each time the store update function was
run.
- FMTR - The Clear function was not clearing the screen (display issue only,
it was removing the form from memory).
- FMTR - Selecting a Form Message was messing up the Form Messages file
(FORMMSGS.DAT).
8/13/10 - v7.00 Build 41 (Special release to fix problem in Build 40)
- REPORTS SETTINGS BEING LOST (from build 40) - Report Settings files
(KSRE.DAT and KSRE1.DAT) that were first created in v7 (not those converted
from v6x) were being deleted every time the file was being accessed since
they did not have the version number that created them correctly stored in
the file. This build fixes the problem by placing the version number in
any report settings file that does not have a version number in it.
8/2/10 - v7.00 Build 40
- FILE LOCKED MESSAGE - AUDIT ENTRIES - Audit entries where not being written
unless the program could establish an exclusive read and write lock on the
transaction files. The program will now automatically downgrade the requested lock to
lock to an exclusive write but shared read when necessary. This allows
others to be viewing transaction files in a list or a report while audit
entries are being written.
CNF - Payments - If the authorization method on a payment is changed from
one using KeyPay to any other method (other than "None") then a message will
be displayed warning that only methods using KeyPay are considered PCI
Compliant.
SHOWSTATUS - If the command line is more than 63 characters, then the command
line Switches line will be wrapped to a second line when displayed in the
ShowStatus ([Shift+F12]) function.
TRN/FMTR - Sales Forms (Invoices) - added the ability to print the Customer's
Fields: LongInfo1, LongInfo2, ShortInfo1, ShortInfo2, and UserFlags.
- CNF - Sales Transaction Parameters - If the "Copy Shipped Items to New Sale"
parameter was on, then the program was always turning off the "Delete Filled
Line Items" and "Delete Completed Transaction" parameters when saving.
- LOGO - DATA CONVERSION - The old Production files where not being renamed
to .V6 and then moved to the V6Data directory (conversion was still done
correctly).
- LOGO - DATA CONVERSION - Conversion of Database Screens and Report Forms
for Matrix Items was not converting the non-importable fields correctly
(those with an * on the end of the name like "Table Name *").
- PROD - Program was not working correctly with items that are hidden.
(Note that Hidden inventory items can be used on productions).
- TRN - If a previous transaction is pulled up and the transaction type
is changed but no other changes are done, using a print button would not
also save the transaction (the program was not recognizing that it needed to
be saved).
- STOREMRG - Deleted Transactions - Sales and Purchase Transactions, Payments,
and ROA payments that had been deleted were being merged in as not deleted.
- STR - Transferring an item to a store that had that item marked as hidden
would cause the program to add another, unhidden, copy of the inventory
item.
7/23/10 - v7.00 Build 37
TRN - Customer Entry - Rearranged fields at bottom of Customer Entry box and
also the comment box (if displayed) to work better when switching between
displaying contact info and not displaying it.
TRN/FMTR - Sales Forms (Invoices) - added the ability to print the Customer's
Birth Date field.
IMPTRN - Added support for "Customer Birthday=" field.
- TRN - ON ACCOUNT PAYMENTS - (From Build 35, previous releases did not have
this problem.) When a transaction was saved that included an On Account
payment type (transaction has an Amount Due), then the program was setting
the customer's Oldest Open Invoice date to the transaction's date even if
there were older open invoices in the system. This could cause some older
transactions to no be seen by the program when printing statements or
applying ROA payments. When entering the program, if the data set is from
build 28 or later then the program will run a data conversion that will set
the Last Open Invoice date on all customers that have a Last Open Invoice
Date of 6/28/10 or newer to 1/1/2001. This will then be set to the actual
date when the amount due is recalculated by an AR Report, or finance charges
or statements in AR.
- ROUNDING ERROR - When a negative number was entered with more decimal points
than then field allowed the rounding of the entry to the correct number of
decimal points was off by 1 on the last digit (-0.075 rounded to -0.09
instead of -0.08).
- DBM - Till Assignents - To Drawers - The function to assign a Till to a
Drawer was not working (would give Error 91).
- DBM - When adding items, the [PageDown] key was loading the previous item
instead of a new blank screen (and [PageUp] was redisplaying the item just
entered).
- IMPORTER - Importing by Matrix Product Code was not always finding the item
in the Matrix Database.
- IMPTRN - Customer Birth Date - the year was always being set to 2000 (it
was being treated as the Birthday field).
- KSR - Analysis Reports - If using one of the extended sorts and the
"Sold Items Only" parameter was not on, then invalid records would be
printed and messages about invalid records would be displayed.
- KSR - Matrix Analysis Reports - If using an extended sort, then an
Error 52 would be given and the report would not run.
- SECURITY LEVEL - The "View Other Salesperson's Customers" security level
was not working (was showing only customers with a credit limit of 0.00
instead of only customers with a Salesperson of 0 or that matched the
current clerk.
- TIMECLOCK - If a default print button was not enabled, then the program
would get stuck on the Ok button (from build 36).
- TRN - Transfer Payments - The transaction letter and date information
added to the reference field on transfer payments had 3 extra spaces in
it. This would cause the payment on the invoice to show the day twice
("{7/21)21}" instead of "{7/21}").
- VAR - Hidden Items - If an item on a posted/saved variance was marked as
hidden, then the variance function was showing it as "Not Found".
- CONTPRIC - Was not working correctly when editing a customer with that
had contract prices on more than 15 items.
- CONTPRIC - Reports are not working - this function can only be used to
export data to the tab delimited file CP.TXT (which can then be viewed in
a spreadsheet or database program).
- FMTR - Sales Forms (Invoices) - The field listed as "Customer Birth Date"
should have been labeled "Customer Birthday".
7/16/10 - v7.00 Build 36
CNF - Print Buttons - Time Clock - Added a "Default Button" parameter. If
On, then the Time Clock function will default to that button instead of the
Ok button. Also, if on that button, and [F10] is pressed, it will activate
that button instead of the Ok button.
MACROS - ChangeModule= - The program use to ignore this command if already
in the module being changed to. Now it goes ahead and changes modules (even
though just reloading the current one) so the macros will work the same from
any module.
CLOSEOUT - REPORTS - The application title is temporarily changed to Reg#
while printing the closeout reports. This is to help pdf printer drivers
default to a useable name for the file.
REPORTS - The application title is temporarily changed to the Description
from the form being used to print the report. This is to help pdf printer
drivers default to a useable name for the file.
TRN - While printing a transaction, the program will now temporarily set the
module's title to the short name of the transaction type instead of always
"Invoice". This is to help pdf printer drivers default to a useable name for
the file.
- AR/KSR - If a customer's Oldest Open Invoice date was set to 1/1/85 or
earlier, then the program was sometimes only looking in the current
transaction file instead of the previous transaction file when changing this
date to the actual Oldest Open Invoice. This can cause transactions with an
amount due in the previous transaction file to be skipped. This should only
happen if customer's oldest open invoice date was manually set to the older
date. If this may be the case, use DelUtil to set all Customers back to
1/1/01 (or oldest date a transaction could possibly be open) and then run
the Receivable Aging report to recalculate).
- COPYNUM.EXE - Was looking for KSTRN001.MRG instead of EXTRACT.MRG (if the
/M switch was used, it was looking for KSTR0001.MRG instead of EXTRACT.MRG).
Fixed to now always work with EXTRACT.MRG.
- DATABASES - INV - Select/Edit Serial Numbers - Changes made to the serial
number list were not showing when that line was not highlighted (all lines
were showing their original text). Display issue only, changes were being
saved correctly.
- DBM - Find-Search/Un-Hide records was not working.
- IMPORTER - Matrix Items - Merging by Matrix Product Code was not working
(would give error 13).
- KSL - Printing Comments - If printing a comment on a label and the comment
was longer than the space provided, the program was getting stuck and not
printing anything.
- LOGO - Initializing a new configuration file (KSCNF.DAT) was setting the
Purchase Manager parameter "Disable Purchase Orders" to "On" so that the
program was not using Purchase Orders that create Purchase Invoices but was
just working off of Purchase Invoices only.
- MACROS - Macros that changed modules were not working correctly if a
"Changes will be Lost" message was to appear on the screen.
- POR - Creating Invoices from Purchase Orders was leaving the Transaction
Total at $0.00 if payments on purchases was disabled (from build 21).
- POR - AutoOrder - Filters were not working correctly.
- PROD - Losing Last Line Item - On productions with more than 9 line items,
the information from the last line item was not being written to the data
file (item was being updated correctly, the history would then be wrong, or
if a template, then the last item would be blank).
- LOGO - Convert Data - Production - Productions with more than 9 line items
on them were having the rest of the records marked as Production Headers so
packing the file would end up with a lot of extra productions listed (all of
them not valid). If data has already been converted to v7 format (prior to
v7.00 build 36), then the program will go through the production (and
production template) files and fix the productions.
- RECCHRG.EXE - The FROM=, TO=, and ALT= command line switches were not
working.
- ROUNDING ERROR - If an amount was negative and was a half a penny or more
but less than a whole penny (-0.0050 to -0.0099) then the program was
rounding the amount to a positive penny instead of a negative one (0.01
instead of -0.01). Only happened on these very small, fraction of a penny
amounts that are negative, everything outside of this range was rounding
correctly (e.g. -0.015 was rounding correctly to -0.02).
- SEARCHES - If the text entered is not numeric, then the program will no
longer search based on a numeric field since what it would be searching for
is 0. For example, if "B" is entered on a sales line item, the program will
not lookup the item by StockNumber or AltID#.
- TRN - Deleting a transaction was not updating the customer database (amount
due, total sales).
- TRN - Payments - If the "Don't Display on Sales Payment List" parameter on
a payment was turned on, then a blank line was appearing at the bottom of
the payments list.
- TRN - Shipping Sales Orders - Price Formulas with minimums based on Price
Code or Transaction totals were not being applied to the calculation for
the subtotal of the items being shipped.
- UDPRICE.EXE - was always rounding to the nearest dollar.
- VAR - Import - The entry box for entering the file name to import was not
working so the import was not working.
- FMTR - Form Messages where showing text from other fields while the form
was being edited (but the form would print correctly).
7/06/10 - v7.00 Build 35
CNF - Backup - Quick Archive - The Quick Archive function now uses the
program 7za.exe (instead of PKZip.exe). 7za.exe is the standalone version of
the 7-Zip compression utility which is licensed as freeware. License and
information for this product can be found in the 7-Zip directory below the
Keystroke Program directory. The archives are still stored in .zip files but
will be created slightly faster but will be slightly larger. The reason for
this switch is 7za.exe is a true 32 bit windows program and will work with
64 bit operating systems.
CNF - Database Parameters - Added a button to for Quick Archive Settings.
Selecting this button will bring up a screen where you can change the
compression program used to make Quick Archives from 7-Zip to PKZip. You
can also turn on the archiving of sub-directories as well (default is off).
CLOSEOUT - PARAMETERS - Added the "Disable the "Exit (no save)" button"
parameter. If on, then the print box will not show the "Exit (no save)"
button.
CLOSEOUT - If the clerk is changed in the middle of a closeout, the program
now warns that the closeout will be reset. Selecting cancel from this
message will bring up the login screen again. If the original clerk is
entered, then the closeout may proceed without being reset.
FORMQTY/FORM2LBL - Converted the source code (included as sample programs) to
PowerBasic's Classic Console Compiler so they can be compiled as 32 bit
versions that will run correctly on 64 bit operating systems.
AR - If a customer's Oldest Open Invoice Date is blank, the the program will
search for transactions starting in the previous transaction file instead of
going all the way back to the first transaction file.
AR - While printing a statement, the program will now temporarily set the
module's title to "Cust#" (where # is the customer's number). This is to
help pdf printer drivers default to a useable name for the file.
KSR - Inventory Analysis - Report may now print faster when Grouping By
Customer/Vendor and the "Don't Print if Empty" parameter on Customers/Vendors
is set to On. In this case, the program will first scan the transaction
files to make sure at least one transaction type that the report is based on
exists for the customer. If not, then the report skips the customer instead
of spending time trying to gather the sales by item data for that customer.
TRN - While printing a transaction, the program will now temporarily set the
module's title to "Invoice#" (where # is the transaction number). This is to
help pdf printer drivers default to a useable name for the file.
TRN - Print transactions - The ID used when printing to a file (in PDF
printers or with a & in the file name) will now include the Transaction's
Letter (aka subnumber) if there is one.
TRN - If a customer's Oldest Open Invoice Date is blank, and an amount due
transaction is saved, it will now set the Oldest Open Invoice Date to the
transactions date instead of leaving it blank (a blank date is really
12/31/84).
TRN/CNF - Security Level - Added the security level "Edit Saved Line Items"
to Sales Transactions. This is checked when editing an existing transaction
and on a line item that already existed on the transaction when it was
loaded. Clerk must meet all other levels to edit line items as well.
- CLOSEOUT - Clear Function - Using the Clear function to change to a
different register number was not loading the starting drawer amounts for
the new register number.
- CLOSEOUT - Changing the register/till number when first entering closeout
was not loading the starting drawer amounts for the new register/till
number (was using the amounts from the original register/till number).
- DBM - If a hidden record was selected from the Record List ([F3]) then the
program was bringing up the next Non-Hidden record instead of the one
selected.
- DBM - INVENTORY - Price Fields - Using the Get Percent Profit function
([Ins] key from a price/cost field) was always rounding the new value to
a whole number.
- DBM - Matrix Changes - Store Transfers were not being recognized for
updating changes to matrix elements.
- GLLINK/CHGNUMS - Store Transfers were not being recognized.
- LOGO - Using the Default Clerk setting was setting the initial clerk
number to 0 (with security level of 0) instead of the entered clerk number.
- LOGO - PCI Conversion - The password on Administrative Clerks were not being
marked as expired after the message saying they would be was displayed.
- MATRIX ITEMS - Matrix codes using characters above character number 128
(the extended characters that don't exist on the keyboard) where causing the
program to not be able to find the items. If items don't appear after
installing this release, pack the matrix database
- POR - Tax Formulas - Tax Formulas that had the tax amount set to a fixed
$ amount instead of a % (tax by Qty or Line item instead of Cost) were not
working correctly.
- POR - Vendor Entry - Pressing [Ctrl+F5] was running the Show Info function
instead of the Show Summary function.
- SUMMARY.EXE - VARIANCES - The Summarize History program was not working
correctly with variances that had over 7 line items (could case program to
crash if over 9 line items).
- SUMMARY.EXE - PURCHASES - The Summarize History program was not adding
in the Cost amount from purchase invoices so the Show Summary function was
always showing the dollar amount of purchases to be $0.00.
- TRN - Recurring Charges - If any changes were made and the ID was left
blank and the Process button (or [F10]) was pressed, then the program was
displaying the "ID cannot be Blank" message and was getting stuck on that
message.
- FMTR - Fields that where below the bottom of the screen were being
displayed on the first line of the screen (display issue only, does not
change the form).
6/15/10 - v7.00 Build 34
TRN - Process Recurring Charges - Added support for selecting individual
transactions when the "From Trans Type" settings are set to
"Print-Individual". Note: Extreme care must be used when running in this
mode as it is very easy to select the same transaction more than once
(creating duplicate charges). The program will warn if the same transaction
is selected twice in a row.
TRN - Process Recurring Charges - The program keeps track of when the last
time a Recurring Charge Setting was used to create transactions. If it is
used again on the same day, the program will display a warning that the
settings were already used and ask if you want to proceed anyway.
TRN - Process Recurring Charges - Added a "Print Button" setting to enable
printing transactions as they are created. This is done by selecting which
"Print Button" to activate after each transaction has been added.
- CNF - Sales Payment Types (Keystroke POS only) - If the edit payment type
screen was brought up and then cancelled (Ok or F10 not selected), then the
program was always turning on the "Food Stamp Items Only" parameter.
Workaround is to go back in, clear the parameter, and then save the payment
type.
- POR - The number used internally for the line item amounts (qty*cost) and
the subtotal were not being rounded to the digits specified for money (even
though they were being displayed with the correct number of decimal points).
This would cause the program to keep asking for additional payments when
only a fraction of a penny was still needed.
FMTR - Field Widths of 0 now display the field as the length of the field
name (or width of 10 if field is blank). Also, the [Ctrl+Left] key can now
be used to set the field width to 0. (Field width of 0 means the field bases
its width on the contents of the field and will not truncate it or add any
trailing spaces to it).
6/09/10 - v7.00 Build 33
TRN - Process Recurring Charges - Added a "Changes To Transactions" list
to the "Process Recurring Charges" settings. This list contains the changes
to be made to the line items on each transaction is it is copied. The list
can be edited by using the standard list commands for copy/cut/paste and
add/edit items. Selecting a line in the list will bring up the "Change To
Line Items" settings box. Each line is applied to the transaction in the
same way "Tag-along" scripts are added and uses some of the same parameters.
- The "Action" button sets whether to Add or Replace a line item.
- The "Location" button is used to select where to add/replace the new
item. The options are "First Line", "Last Line", "Current Line", "Specific
Line" (you can then enter a line number) and "Specific Inventory Item" (you
can then select an inventory item from "Old Item" button). If "Specific
Inventory Item" is used, then the program will search the transaction's line
items for one that matches the item specified. If one is not found, then the
entire transaction will be skipped.
- The "New Item" button is used to select which inventory item to add to
the transaction.
The rest of the parameters are the same as are used in Scripting when
adding a "Tag-along Item".
CNF - PAYMENTS - When editing and then saving a payment type, if an external
authorization method other than KeyPay is specified and the "Purge
Ref/ExpDate Immediately" parameter is off, then the program will display a
PCI Warning message stating that the parameter should be turned on for that
payment type.
DATENAME.EXE - Recompiled to 32 bit version that returns an ErrorLevel if it
does not succeed.
MAPFILE.EXE, INIMERGE.EXE - Recompiled to 32 bit version that will run
correctly on 64 bit operating systems.
- RECORD LIST - INVENTORY - Filtering on Inventory Vendor information was not
working in record list boxes. (May need to reinitialize license files for
change to take affect).
- REPORT VIEWER - The default size of the window for viewing condensed
reports on the screen was too wide.
- POR - The Transaction Browse function was looking for Purchase Orders even
when the "Disable Purchase Orders" parameter was turned on.
- TRN - Debit Card (ATM) entry with KeyPay was stopping on the confirm
payment amount screen even when set to skip it.
- TRN - MICR READER - ERROR 13 with IBM-4610 and EPSON-TM600III. If using
either of these 2 MICR readers, the program would get an error 13 when
processing the MICR track returned by the reader.
- TRN - Process Recurring Charges - The "From Trans Type" list was not
working correctly.
- TRN - No Fractional Qty - If an item used a Departmental Script (script
that comes from the item's department/category/location instead of it's own
script) then the item was being flagged as having the No Fractional Qty
flag turned on even when it wasn't.
- VAR - Import Items - When importing items, items not found now retain
the information that was imported both on the screen and when saved as an
open variance.
6/04/10 - v7.00 Build 32
Synced with v6.30 build 35
CNF/TRN - Security Levels - Added security levels under Sales Manager:
"Process Recurring Transactions - Run" (default=7), "Process Recurring
Transactions - Edit Settings" (default=6), and "Process Recurring
Transactions - Save Settings" (default=6).
RECCHRG.EXE - Added the command line switch "ID=" which can be used to specify
which of the saved Process Recurring Charges settings is to be used. Any
other switch can still be used to override the settings stored with the
specified ID. (If used, and the ID is not found, then the process will be
abandoned.)
TRN - Process Recurring Charges - Added the ability to specify how the
transactions that are being processed from are sorted, selected, and if
a range or filter is to be used. The entry of these parameters is the same
as what is used on reports. This allows a single transaction type to support
many different lists of recurring transactions by using a field on the
transaction to determine which kind of recurring charge the transaction is
for (e.g. Customer Order Number, Price Table, etc.). Note that when sorting
by Date, the range fields cannot be used so a filter must be used if the
Transaction Date determines which kind of recurring charge the transaction
is.
TRN - Process Recurring Charges - The "From Trans Type" list is now limited
to transaction types that are stored in their own transaction file (not
KSTR####.DAT). Also, the Alternate Trans Type (used when payments are denied
during processing) is restricted to transaction types that do not have a
minimum payment set on them.
TRN - Process Recurring Charges - Changed the "Ok" button to "Process".
(Pressing the [F10] key still selects this button).
TRN - Process Recurring Charges - If the Settings ID is changed, then the
program will ask if you want to Save Changes if the Process button is
selected without first selecting the Save button.
IMPTRN/IMPPOR - If the Customer/Vendor Lookup Name is not imported and the
Customer/Vendor record is being updated, then the program will set the
LookupName to the Customer/Vendor CompanyName (or LastName, FirstName if
CompanyName is blank).
SHOW STATUS - Added the title "Status Report - Keystroke Point Of Sale" (or
"Keystroke Advanced POS") to the top the Show Status screen ([Shift+F12]).
TRN - TEMPORARY LICENSE - The Process Recurring Charges function will be
disabled if a temporary license has expired.
- DATABASES - BIRTHDATES - BirthDate fields that were set to blank
(0 or " / / ") where being set to 12/31/1984 instead of the Null date.
- DATABASES - Default Values - Default field values entered on screens other
than screen 1 were not always being used.
- DATABASE - CONTACT - Contacts were using the wrong security levels. Query
Contact was using "Enter Returns", Edit Contact was using "Access Closeout",
and Add Contact was using "Query Vendor".
- TRN - KeyPay Authorization - Voice Auths were not working (would return
the message "Recurring Payment not found").
- TRN - Credit Memos - Credit Memos that used a payment type with the
"Always Mask Ref" parameter turned on were not saving the Reference field
correctly.
- TRN/CLOSEOUT - Shipping - All transactions were being marked that Shipping
may be taxable even when the Shipping Tax Code was blank. This would cause
the Closeout Summary report to include the Shipping amount in the Non-Taxable
field on the report.
- WS#.INI - BackGroundPicture= - Error 91 - Setting the BackGroundPicture
equal to Blank (no background graphic on the logo screen) was causing an
error 91 at several different and somewhat random places in the program.
This was caused by one of the routines that draws text on the screen testing
this parameter incorrectly. The program now correctly recognizes that there
is no BackGroundPicture to test, eliminating this error.
5/26/10 - v7.00 Build 31
Synced with v6.30 build 33
IMPTRN - When looking up a customer and/or contact, if a match is not found,
the program will now use the default information on the database screens to
initialize a new record. Any fields imported after that will then overwrite
the defaults. (This is the same way the Importer module works).
RECORD LIST BOX - If the Record List Box is showing a transaction file and
the end date is midnight, it will now display the date as the day before to
better indicate what transactions are in the file being displayed.
SECURITY LEVELS - If a function's security level is set to -99, then it will
be disabled no matter what a clerk's security level is (i.e. even a clerk
with a level of -100 won't be able to use that function).
TEMPORARY LICENSE - If a system is installed with a temporary license and the
license expires, then the following functions will be disabled: Edit Security
Levels, Add/Edit/Delete database Records, Add/Edit/Delete Sales Transactions,
Add/Edit/Delete Purchase Invoices/Orders (Reserved Orders can still be used),
Edit Time Clock Entries, Post Variances, Add/Edit/Delete ROA Payments,
Edit/Delete Closeouts and PaidOuts.
VAR - Parameters - Added the parameter "Default Physical Qty to "1"
(scanning)". If this is on, then when an item is entered the physical qty
will be set to 1 instead of 0. This should only be used when scanning items
in and having the program merge same items together automatically.
- CNF - Hardware - CustomerDisplay/SecurityFeed - the editor for the display
file was not showing the changes as they were being made.
- DATABASES - Which One? - If more than one record had the same information
in the field being looked up, the program would stop finding additional
records as soon as it hit one that was marked as hidden. This would cause
the "Which One?" list to not contain all the matching records (and could even
cause an "Item Not Found" message if the first record in the list was
hidden).
- IMPORTER - The default KSEXPORT.KSI setup file did not include all the
new fields available in v7.
- IMPTRN - Using "Clerk Initials=" to assign the clerk to a transaction was
generating an error.
- KSR - The Sort and Ranges when printing the Category and Location databases
by Code were not working.
- LOGO - Conversion of Store Transfers - The conversion of Store Transfers
(from the StoreLink module, KSSTR*.DAT) was not working.
- LOGO - DATA CONVERSION - The program was not looking at "Split Transactions
On" Setting from the previous version. This was causing it to always
calculate what the "Split On" setting should be instead of using the setting
already specified in the data files.
- MACROS - The macro SendKeys={Update} was only updating the main window, it
now gets sent through to the main and current window.
- TRN/AR - Credit Memos and KeyPay - If a credit memo (ROA payment entered
in Sales Manager) was processed through KeyPay, voiding the payment in A.R.
(deleting the ROA payment) was not correctly processing the payment through
KeyPay.
- TRN - CONTRACT PRICING - Contracting pricing on the default customer was
not working except on the first sale after entering the Sales Manager. The
Contract Pricing files are checked when the customer entered on the
transaction is changed. If using the default customer on 2 sequential
transactions, the contract pricing was only working on the first transaction
since the customer is not changed on the second one. The program now checks
at the beginning of each transaction even if the customer is the same.
- VAR - The AltID# field was not being read in to be displayed on the line
items. Also added the ability to display the AltID# in the detail box.
- VAR - Importing by the Manufacturer field was not working.
- VAR - The Which One? function for selecting an inventory item was not
working. It would always show the item as "not found".
5/14/10 - v7.00 Build 30
BACKGROUND COLOR - Setting the BackgroundColor to RED=0, GREEN=0, BLUE=1
(which is what is used in Tutor data) will cause the background color to
be displayed as Blue for Keystroke Advanced and Maple for Keystroke POS.
SCREENS FLAGS - Improved the look of the screen flags (appear at bottom of
window) by making them shorter at certain resolutions.
PROD - REPORTS - Templates - The program will now print Optional Items on
Template reports. The report field "OptionalItem" is set to "1" on Optional
Items and "0" on standard items. A filter on that field to specify whether
or not to print the Optional and/or Regular items can then be used or a
variable can be printed marking the optional item (the default report form is
set to print "(Opt)" in front of the Optional Items).
TRN/POR/STR/PROD/VAR - Increased the number of line items displayed on the
screen.
TRN - AUTHORIZE WITH KEYPAY - If trying to process a payment through KeyPay
and the KPSTATUS.TMP file could not be found, the program will now state that
the file could not be found along with the message that it could not connect
to KeyPay.
TRN - KeyPay - Keystroke will accept the Using Modem message from KeyPay and
will update the Authorization in Progress message on the screen to add
the line "Processing through Dial-Up, please wait..." to indicate that it
may take longer for the payment to be processed. (Requires KeyPay v6.30
build 36 or newer).
- TRN - KeyPay - Dialup - The timeout on a response is set to 20 seconds, so
if it takes longer than that for KeyPay to send back the response from a
payment process Keystroke will timeout and display the No Response from
Keypay message. However, with some modems, it can take longer than 20 seconds
so now Keystroke will set the timeout to 90 seconds when KeyPay informs it
that it is using the modem to process the payment. (Requires KeyPay v6.30
build 36 or newer).
ADVANCED POS - T macro command @TOGGLEFLAG(ADVANCED) can be used toggle the
system between running as Keystroke Advanced POS and Keystroke POS (program
must be Advanced POS for this to work, Keystroke POS does not support it).
Note: This macro can be assigned to one of the toolbar buttons.
ADVANCED POS - If the macro command @TOGGLEFLAG(ADVANCED) is used, then the
program will now show the change by changing the Title Bar and Background
color of the program as well as the logo screen.
- CONTPRIC - The expiration date was not being saved correctly (was saving
a date based on what was in the first column of the grid (stocknumber/
productcode, etc.) instead of the date column).
- DATABASES - Hidden Records When looking a record, the program was ignoring
the Hidden flag and was finding an item even if it was hidden.
- DBM - Matrix Categories - If a matrix category was changed and a change was
not made to a matrix table at the same time, then the change to the category
(usually an element code being changed) was not being recognized for updating
databases and history.
- KS2QB - Was getting Error 70.
- LOGO - CONVERSION - Matrix Items - the cost on the 4th vendor (which didn't
exist in previous versions) was being set to $0.00 instead of Null. (Also,
in build 28 this conversion could generate an error).
- MACROS - Editing - selecting a function from the look up list was not always
working (e.g. a ToggleFlag that does not have any options).
- MAIN SCREEN - Title Bar was always showing as "Keystroke Advanced POS" even
when the license was just for "Keystroke POS".
- POR - RECEIVING - The Special-Receiving function was not updating the
Order/Invoice Transaction Letter (next to the Number, shows how many
invoices were created from the order).
- TRN - Transactions with more than 5 payments on them could cause errors
to occur.
- VAR - The [PageUp] key was jumping up 2 more lines than it should have.
- VAR - Entry by the Manufacturer field was not working (was doing the
lookup as AltID#).
- VAR - AutoFill - when entry mode was set to Manufacturer, the AutoFill
function was importing in order by AltID# instead of Manufacturer.
- VAR - Line Item sort ([Shift+F2]) was not working correctly when sorting
by Stock Number.
- VENDORS - The lookup list from the Vendor Payment field was showing the
Sales Payments instead of the Purchase Payments.
5/04/10 - v7.00 Build 29
REPORTS - The "Don't Print if Empty" parameter is now ignored if any of the
sections below it are set to "Print Individual".
- BACK/OPEN ORDERS - If the Back/Open order list is empty, then the program
would give an error 63 after trying to display the list.
- CLERK MESSAGES - The Clerk message screen was flashing and not staying on
the screen when a new clerk logged in.
- DATABASE ENGINE - It was possible for the indexes to not get updated
properly when adding items to a large database and the sort position of the
new item was near the beginning of the list. The item would still appear
on most reports but searches for it would fail. If having this problem,
packing the file will correct it.
- INVENTORY - The LOCATION NAME field was always displaying as blank (also
when printing and exporting which use the same routine).
- KSR - RANGE - Using the lookup list ([Ins], [F2]) was not working correctly
and would always return the same characters (e.g. "D I").
- LOGO - CONVERSION - Matrix Items - the cost on the 4th vendor (which didn't
exist in previous versions) was being set to $0.00 instead of Null.
- MATRIX ITEMS - Searching by Product Code was not working.
- MATRIX ITEMS - Vendor Info - The Vendor Cost field was not allowing it
to be set back to Null.
- RECLISTBOXES - Transactions - If the "No Records found, jump to:" message
was displayed and it contained the "Next" button, then the "Previous" button
would not work correctly (was being treated as the "Next" button so there
was no way to go to the previous transaction). Workaround was to use
[Ctrl+PgUp] to go to a previous transaction and then pull up the list box
which would then start in the previous file.
- RECLISTBOXES - Comments - Pressing [Shift+Enter] to display a comment while
in a record list box would generate an error.
- DOLU - Contract Pricing was using the wrong registration code.
4/29/10 - v7.00 Build 28a - not released
LOGO - Changed background on logo screen. It now displays
"KSIMAGES\MtnPOS.jpg" (or "KSIMAGES\MtnAdv.jpg" if Advanced). Also changed
it so if the BackgroundPicture = parameter is used in a .ini file, then the
program will still display the new Keystroke POS Logo graphic
("KSIMAGES\KSPOS.bmpP" or "KSIMAGES\KSAdvPOS.bmp").
ABOUT SCREEN - Changed the background graphic to "KSIMAGES\KSAbout.bmp" (or
"KSIMAGES\KSAboutA.bmp" for Advanced).
SPLASH SCREEN - Changed the background graphic to "KSIMAGES\KSSplash.bmp"
(the old one is "KSIMAGES\KSSplasho.bmp")
KSR - ON SCREEN PROGRESS - Added a progress bar to the main screen when
generating reports/labels.
KSR - SUB-TOTAL BY SORT FIELD - Added a new setting on some of the reports
called "Sub Total when value changes". When available, it appears under the
Sort By button . If it is on, then the program will monitor the value of the
field that the report is being sorted by and will print a "Sort By Sub Totals"
line each time the field changes (as long as the fields are set on the form,
see "SBT" below). The reports that currently support this are the Inventory
Database and Analysis reports, and the Customer and Vendor Database reports.
KSR - REPORT EDITOR - Added a new type of line for Sort By Sub Totals ("SBT").
This works the same as the current Sub Total lines ("ST") but is set using
line number -1 (instead of 0) and it only prints when the new "Sub Total when
value changes" parameter under "Sort By" is turned on.
KSR - REPORT EDITOR - Field Editor - The Line Number field now accepts the
use of characters so ST and SBT can be entered (as well as 0 and -1). Also,
can now press [Ins] from this field to get a list of entries ("ST", "SBT", or
a number). Note, -1 and "SBT" are only supported on reports/sections that
support the "Sub Total when value changes" parameter.
KSR - NEW FIELDS - Added the fields "Sort By Field Name" and "Sort By Field
Value" under the list of System fields. These can only be selected from the
list of System fields when editing a report section that supports them (the
"Sub Total when value changes" parameter is available). They are designed to
be used in the "SBT" lines and will print what the Sort By setting currently
is set to and what the current records value is for that field.
KSR - SORT BY DEPARTMENT TOTALS - Inventory Analysis Report - Added the
ability to sort 2nd Grouping (e.g. Department) by the same report totals
fields that Inventory has always had (e.g. Gross Revenue, Profit, etc.) (Note
that these fields are not affected by filters on the on the Inventory Items so
if an Inventory Filter is used the sort may not match the report figures
since it will be based on totals without the filter.)
KSR - REVIEW PARENT/CHILD RELATIONSHIPS - Inventory Database Report - Added
the parameter "Show Parent/Child". If this is on then the items with parents
will be listed under their parents (no matter what the sorting/grouping is).
The program will also keep internal track of what level (generation of child
from the parent) is being printed.
- If the "Roll Child Into Parent" parameter parameter is on and the "Show
Parent/Child" parameter is also on, the child item will be printed but the
QOH and Totals fields (Price Total, etc.) will be printed as blank (since
these figures are already included in the parent's line).
- Added a new Flag for individual fields in the Report Editor called "Indent
for Parent/Child level" (flag value is 262144). If this is on, the program
will add one dash ("-") to the beginning of the field for every level down in
the parent/child relationship that the item is.
KSR - MATRIX TABLE REPORTS - Added a new Matrix Tables report. This can be
used to print the list of Matrix Tables, Categories and Elements. If grouped
by Matrix Table, then the categories will be repeated under each table they
are in. This means the categories that are used on more than one table
will be repeated and those that aren't used won't print at all. Setting the
grouping to None will give a list of all Categories.
CLOSEOUT - PRINT TO SCREEN - Added the parameter "Print to Screen". If this
is on, then the reports will be sent to the on screen Report Viewer instead
of directly to the printer. The viewer's print button can then be used to
send the report to a printer. (The Printer setting is still used in this
case to help format the report.)
CLOSEOUT - SEND TO MULTIPLE PRINTERS - Added 3 more sets of Reports Settings
(for a total of 4). When the "Print Closeout" button is selected, the
program will go through each one of these settings and print the checked
reports to the selected printer. (If printer is set to None, then the
settings are skipped).
CLOSEOUT - Added the parameter "Prompt Before Printing". If this is on, the
program will stop and ask "Proceed with printing Closeout Report to ... ?".
Selecting Yes will continue with the reports. Selecting No will skip this
setting and go on to the next (if there is one). Selecting Cancel (or
CLOSEOUT - CASH and CHECK CALCULATORS can PRINT TO SCREEN - Added a Print To
setting for the Cash and Check Calculators where you can select which printer
to use when the Print function is used. Can also be set to print to screen.
Note: When the Cash Calculator is run from a macro (toolbar button), the
Print function will now always print to the screen first (ignores closeout
setting since this can be done from anywhere in the program).
SCRIPTING - NEW ADVANCED RESTRICTIONS (Only available in Keystroke Advanced
POS). The scripting functions now support new Advanced Restrictions which can
be used to determine when a script will run. These include Start/End Date,
Time Window (e.g. happy hour), "Day of Week", and "Day of Month" settings.
(Note, if not licensed for Advanced POS, the button will not appear).
TRN - TRANSACTION LIST BOX - When the transaction list is sorted by
Transaction Number or Date, it will now start at the end of the list instead
of the beginning (same as pressing the [End] key when first entering the
list).
TRN - RECURRING CHARGES - Added the ability to save the settings under the
Process Recurring Charges function (Advanced POS only).
4/23/10 - v7.00 Build 28
Synced with v6.30 build 32
LOGO - CONVERSION - When first run with data from a previous build of v7,
the program will run a short conversion program to the current build (28).
This checks and corrects stock number greater than 32,767 in script and
production files.
RECORD LIST BOXES - Increased the number of monetary digits that can be
displayed in a column by 4 (e.g. Maximum Amount Due that can be displayed
on a customer list went from $9 million to $99 billion.) Also added 1000s
separators (commas) so 9 million is displayed as $9,000,000.00).
- CONTPRIC - If the Exp Date was in the first column, then the program would
not allow it to be updated/saved correctly. Fixed it so Stock Number is
always in the first column (workaround in previous releases is to use the
Restore Default Settings function to set the columns back to their correct
positions).
- DBM - Changes made to the Matrix Tables were not being recognized until
up to 1 minute after the changes were saved. Workaround is to change
modules (or what a minute) which then reloads the tables.
- LOGO - CONVERSION - Database Screens - the inventory screens converted
and placed in the v6data directory with the .v7 extension were being
converted again by the build 18 conversion if copied to the DBSCREEN\
directory. This could then cause an error when looking at an inventory
item.
- LOGO - CONVERSION - Scripts-ItemLists and Productions - Inventory Items
that had a stock number of greater the 32767 were being left with a negative
stock number (automatically fixed, see above note for LOGO - CONVERSION).
- MATRIX DATABASE - Then Vendor Information and User fields were not being
read in when editing a matrix item. Saving the item would then save all
these fields as blank.
- MATRIX DATABASE - Vendor Info List - Cost was showing as $0.00 when it
should have been showing as null.
- PROD - The update COGSAdjustment parameter was not working when saving
a production (how costs are updated is controlled by the Update Cost
parameters in Purchasing).
- TRN/AR - Fixed error 6 if a customer had an amount due of over $2 billion
dollars.
4/15/10 - v7.00 Build 27
AR - Parameters - Added the option to default customer entry to the Invoice#
field (Advanced Only).
CNF - EXPORT - Matrix Categories - Added a new field to the end (Elements
List - field number 201) that contains a list of all the elements in a single
field.
REPORT EDITOR - If a field is marked to print as a list (Serial Numbers,
Alternate Codes, etc.) then the field for "Num Decimals:" is changed to
"Num Columns". This allows multiple entries in the list to print across the
page. If used, the "Space Before" field determines the space between the
columns. (To indent all the columns, enter a blank field before the list
field).
- DBM - Matrix Tables - If the order of the categories in a matrix table were
switched, the program was not updating the databases and history for the
change.
- DELTRANS - Was generating an error 52 when deleting a transaction with
serial numbers.
- KSR - Tax Tables - The Tax Districts printed with a Tax Table were not
printing in the same order as they were entered on the Tax Table.
- TRN - If a line item had XFer pricing, and a fractional qty, it was
possible that the transaction's subtotal would not be rounded to the nearest
penny which could cause the program to create a $0.00 change amount.
- TRN - KeyPay - Fixed error 6 that would sometimes happen when processing
a payment through KeyPay (caused by combination of a large customer number
and a large clerk number).
4/13/10 - v7.00 Build 26
CLOSEOUT - Payment Report - when printing to a full size printer, the
payment types that are not marked as detailed will print on a single line
instead of taking up 3 lines.
DATABASE - Inventory - Increased maximum size of multiplier from 4 to 6
digits.
LOGO - Changed around the "Maintenance is about to/has expired" messages to
not mention the $100 renewal discount and to also display more often for
systems that are expired.
KSR/KSL - CUSTOMERS/VENDORS - Added the new Sort By fields available in v7
(WebId, CompanyName, LastName) to all the reports.
KSR/KSL - Inventory - Print Individual - The Inventory List box now remembers
the last filter used after selecting an item to be printed.
TRN - Line Entry Parameters - Added the parameter "Auto Return to Lookup
List". If this is on then after an inventory item is selected from the
lookup list, the program will automatically bring the list back up when
it gets to the point to enter a new line item (press [Esc] to exit out
of the list and enter the item in a different way or to complete the
sale.
TRN/POR/VAR/PROD/STR - Inventory Lookup List - Filters - While entering line
items, the Inventory List box now remembers the last filter used if the list
box is brought up to select the next item (the filter is cleared if an item
is entered in a different way).
TRN - Inventory Lists Remember Position - The list box will now remember
which line number the highlight was on when the last item was selected
instead of always showing the last item on the first line of the list box.
TRN - Select Transaction - the program now handles the "No Records Exist in
current transaction file" message better by only displaying the Next
and Previous buttons when a next or previous file exists and defaulting
to Cancel if the button for the default direction is not displayed (so you
can tell when you've reached the first/last file).
TRN - Payment Entry for KeyPay - A payment entry that would be considered
a duplicate can now be force through as not a duplicate the first time
by entering an "F" in the reference field and then entering the card number.
(This in addition to the method that was already supported where the "F" was
inserted at the beginning of the reference field after the card number was
first entered).
- AR - Delete - Fixed error 13 when deleting an ROA payment that had been
processed through a Auth Method.
- CLOSEOUT - Payment Report - Details - moved the starting point of the
Details lines and over to the left 2 spaces and changed the format of the
Customer Number and Name fields so larger customer numbers would not be cut
off.
- DBM - Matrix Tables - If the Element Codes on matrix items were being
changed due to a change in the Matrix Tables/Categories, the program was not
always going back and updating the Matrix Codes on other data files
(Transactions, Variances, pictures, etc.).
- KSR - Vendors Reports - The First+Last name field was printing from the
"Hidden" field position. This release will convert all reports that use this
field to the correct field number (from field number 68 to 69). Note that if
the hidden field is what was wanted, it will have to be changed back.
- KSR - Inventory Analysis - the list Sort By list on customer's was not
in the correct order (WebID, CompanyName, and LastName should have been on
the bottom of the list).
- MONEY DISPLAY - The change in build 25 to the way negative money amounts
are displayed was not implemented everywhere.
- SCREEN - BUTTONS - Clicking on a button that brought up another window
would cause the new window to not recognize the first mouse click on it.
- TRN - Select Transaction - when viewing an alternate transaction file
(like On Hold) and there were no records, the program was getting stuck
in a loop. It now displays the message that no records were found and
exits the function.
- VAR - Matrix Items - Importing matrix items that already existed was not
retaining the item's matrix code so it would then not update the matrix
item's record (but would still update the inventory item).
4/05/10 - v7.00 Build 25
AR - Enter Customer - Invoice# field - NOTE: the ability to lookup customers
by Invoice # is only available in Keystroke Advanced.
CLOSEOUT - Parameters - Settings - Changed the box around so the Reports
Settings (which include the printer number) are now in their own separate
box which can be accessed by selecting the Report Settings button. (The
reports are run by selecting the Print Closeout button at the end of the
closeout procedure.)
INI FILES - Added parameter SoundWhichOne= for the sound played when the
"Which One?" list is displayed. If left blank (which is the default), then
the Warning Sound will be used (SoundBeep times Number of Beeps parameter).
MONEY DISPLAY - When adding the currency symbol ("$") to a negative amount,
the program will now but the minus sign in front of the currency symbol
(e.g. changed from "$-1.23" to "-$1.23").
SCRIPTS - Added a new "Advanced Restrictions" button to each individual
script. Pressing this button will bring up the Advanced Script Restrictions
box where the following can be entered:
- Start/End Date - Date range that the script will be active for.
- Time Window (Happy Hour) Start/End times - The time of day that the script
will run in (repeats every day)
- Day of Week - Similar to Time Window but defines which days of the week
the script will be available on (repeats every week).
- Day of Month - Same as Day of Week but based on the calendar month (repeats
every month).
- Any combination of settings can be made, if any one is not met, the script
will not run. None of the settings need to be filed out (e.g. if none of the
Day Of Week days are checked, then Day of Week is not checked).
- If more than one of the same setting is need (e.g. a morning time window
and an afternoon time window) simply copy and paste the script on the
main Scripted Item screen and the change the Advance Restrictions for the
other set of settings (in the case of 2 different time windows, even the
scripted item will appear to have the same script twice only the morning one
will run in the morning and the afternoon one in the afternoon and neither
will run outside of the time windows).
- This feature is available only in Keystroke Advanced, it is not available if
Scripting was purchased separately.
TRN/FMTR - DataPort/Sales Transaction Forms - Added the field "Machine
Number". This is the number currently assigned to the Keystroke process that
printed the information (not necessarily the machine the transaction was
first entered on). (This number is either assigned automatically or is set
through the command line switch MNUM=.)
TRN - Process Recurring Charges - Change the settings dialog box to be
easier to use.
- CONTACT LIST - When leaving the Contact Record List Box, the customer data
file was being closed. This would cause an Error 52 in the Customer Record
List box if is was already being displayed. (from build 24).
- DBM - Matrix - If the record list box was set to sort by Product Code,
and there were no matrix items with their own Product Code, then the Record
List for Matrix items would always go into add mode (since it did not see any
matrix records when search by Product Code).
- EXTRACT - Customers - Was not extracting customers unless start date was
prior to 12/31/84.
- KSR - Audit Report - The program was not formatting the print out of the
audit entry for Recalling or Deleting a Variance correctly and would
sometimes generate an Error 6.
- KSR - Inventory Database - The Roll Child into Parent parameter was not
rolling up the average cost of the items. (In most cases this
would not make much of a difference since the cost of the child item comes
from the parent in the first place.)
- VAR - Matrix Items - Selecting a matrix item from the pop-up grid or lists
was not working correctly (could give error 63).
3/25/10 - v7.00 Build 24
CNF/TRN - Sales Payment Types - Added new parameters to Sale Payment Types
for an Alternate Print Button that will be defaulted to when the payment
amount is below a given threshold. The Alternate Print Button is set using
the new "Alt (Under) Print Button" while the new "Threshold to use Alt
Button" field is used to set the amount where the program switches from
the primary to the new alternate button. (For example if the Print Button
is set to "Credit Card w/ Signature" and the Alt Button is set to "Receipt"
and the threshold is set to $25.00, then a payment amount of $25 will default
to the standard "Credit Card w/ Signature" button while a payment of $24.99
will default to the alternate "Credit Card w/ Signature" button. (If the
threshold is left at $0.00 than the Alt Button will not be used.)
DBM - Matrix Record List - If a field is null on the matrix item, the program
will now display the information from the inventory item instead of just
leaving it blank in the record list box. When this happens the information
will have the Null symbol in front of it to highlight that it is coming
from the inventory record and not the matrix record.
KSR - Department Database Report - added the ability to print "Hidding Items
Only".
KSR/KSL - Changed the use of the field flag "Skip Line if Blank" to no longer
require that it be the first field on the line.
KSR/KSL - Changed the use of the field flag "Line Feed After this Field" to
no longer work if the field itself did not print.
POR/DBM/STR/PROD/UDPRICE - INVENTORY - Program now updates the "Old Price"
(aka "Prior Price") and the "Price Changed On" fields whenever the price is
changed. Note that the Old Price field is maintained by the program and
should not made editable or imported.
TRN/POR - Transaction List Box - Increased length so it would show more
transactions at one time.
RECORD LIST BOXES - Scroll bar will now indicate when you have reach the
beginning or end of the list (indicator will move to top when first record is
highlighted, bottom when last record is highlighted).
RECORD LIST BOXES - When jumping to the end of the list, the program will now
place the last record at the bottom of the list box (showing additional
records above it) instead of at the top (where it was the only record that
could be seen).
- KSR - CUES - The Tables reports were not available on the menu list when
adding new report settings from the Cue function.
- KSR - Inventory Analysis - the Avg and Percent fields for Department
Calculated were always 0. (Not used very often since these same numbers
are available from Inventory Sub Totals.) (Note that these fields are not
affected by filters on the on the Inventory Items.)
- KSR - Inventory Analysis - running the analysis a 2nd time with different
settings and with 1st Grouping turned on (e.g. Grouped by Department), the
program was sometimes printing out 0 for everything (the analysis data files
were not being adjusted correctly for the new settings). Workaround was to
leave the module and then coming back and then run the report (this
completely rebuilds the analysis files).
- POR - after printing a transaction, the program would sometimes leave the
internal "Print Now" flag on so the next time the print box was used, it
would automatically save the transaction instead of asking to print it.
- STR - Inventory Update - Matrix Items - was not updating matrix items
correctly. Fields that were suppose to be updated were being set to the
values of the previous matrix item.
- STR - The View Cost security level was not being checked when first
entering the StoreLink module.
- TRN - Reversing Transaction - Customer Name - When a transaction is
reversed, the date of the original transaction is placed in the customer
name field, the program now places this date at the end of the customer
name instead of always starting with the 17th character.
- TRN - Max Users - if the "Maximum Number of Users" message appeared, it was
not then allowing the user to return to the Navigation Menu so a different
module could be selected.
3/16/10 - v7.00 Build 23
TRN - CALCULATE LINE QTY - The Edit Line Item detail function can now be
used to calculate the qty that can be sold for a total $ amount including
sales tax. If the Qty is 1 when entering this function, then changing the
"Total w/ Tax" field will calculate what the qty needs to be to give that
total. If the Qty was not originally 1, then it will calculate the Price
(which is what it has always done).
TRN - LINE ENTRY PARAMETERS - Edit Field - Added the ability to set the
default field on the Edit Line Item Detail box to "Total w/ Tax".
KSR - Filters - If the Filter is too long to be printed on a single line,
the program will now continue printing it on the next line.
- CLOSEOUT - REPORTS - The Department Sales report was only printing the
"** No Department **" and not any of the others.
- IMPALTIC - Using the /? or /H switch to display the documentation screen
was also displaying the import summary screen before exiting the program
(but with all 0s since the documentation switch causes the program to not
do anything).
- KSR - MATRIX REPORTS - The Matrix Calculated fields for Element 1 Name through
Category 4 Name were not working correctly. (Since build 18).
- TRN - Error when adding a Payment - The program was not supporting more
than 5 payments on a transaction and would get an error when the 6th one was
added. (From build 21).
3/09/10 - v7.00 Build 22 - not released
Synced with v6.30 build 31
CNF/TRN - SECURITY LEVELS - Added the security level "Age Verification - Over
Verification Age" which will hide the "Over Verification Age" shortcut on
the Confirm Age box in the Sales Manager that pops up when an item with a
minimum age is sold (default level is 10).
CNF/TRN - PAYMENTS - If the Auth Method on a payment is set to and External
method and the width of the reference field on the authorization method is
set to 0, then program will not display the reference field when payments
are entered or edited (unless a reference already exists on the payment).
(Intended to be used with Cash payment types that do not require a reference or any processing.)
KSR - SALESPERSON REPORT - Added the ability to SubTotal by Commission
Code for each clerk.
TRN - In House Check Lists - if the In House Check List authorization method
is used, the Reference field must now have something in it before the program
will proceed.
- CHECK BOXES - Clicking on a check box that was not the current field was
not toggling the field.
- CNF - COMMISSION FORMULAS - The Minimum Sale parameter on Commission
Formulas was not being saved correctly (would look correct but would not work
correctly when running the commission report.)
- KSR - PRINTING TO SCREEN - Changed it to no longer jump to the last page
of the report when the report finishes if viewing at pages before the
last page.
- LOGO - Convert Data - Variances - The TotalCost and TotalPrice fields
stored with a variance were off by a factor of 10 (price is 10 times more
than it really is) when converted to v7.
- MATRIX GRID - The entry field was displaying lower than the actual cell.
- RECORD LIST BOXES - Quick Search was not working with fields that had
spaces in the front of them.
- STR - SERIALS NUMBERS - Transferring of Serialized Items was not working
in regards to transferring the serial numbers. Items that did not exist in
the Transfer To store were not receiving the new serial numbers. Items that
already existed would generate an error 76.
- TRN/CNF - Tax Tables - The Tax Table Rate (% displayed on the screen) was
being rounded to the Money Decimal Points as set in the CNF-Parameter
(usually 2). This is a display issue only and did not effect the
calculations.
----- v6.30 Build 31 ---
- CNF - KEYPAY - CHECK AUTH - Was not setting up the the .aut file correctly
for check authorization.
- TRN - KEYPAY - CHECK AUTH - Checks entered manually were being sent in as
having been magnetically read by a check reader. (As always, you must update
to the current version of KeyPay along with the current version of Keystroke).
- TRN - PCCharge - CVV2 - The old INP method of PCCharge was not displaying
the correct message for the CVV2 response.
------------
2/25/10 - v7.00 Build 21
IMPTRN/IMPPOR - Create Invoices from Orders - When the transaction type being
imported is set to "Convert When - Shipped" and the "Quantity Shipped="
field is imported, then the program will now create an Invoice as well
as update the transaction being imported. (This feature was added to v6.21
build 47 but is just now being added to v7.)
IMPTRN/IMPPOR - The "Line Number=" field should be used to update information
on a line item that already exists. This should always be the first field
after "**START LINE ITEM"
IMPTRN - Added support for field names "TRANSACTION LETTER=" and "TRANSACTION
NUMBER=". These are the same as "INVOICE LETTER=" and "INVOICE NUMBER="
and were added for consistency.
IMPTRN/IMPPOR - When searching for a transaction by number, if the
transaction letter (TRANSACTION LETTER=) parameter is not
used, then the program will now match up with transaction even if it has
a letter assigned to it.
KSR - Edit Report Forms - Changed the File Name field to allow non-numeric
characters to be entered. (That part of the name must still use 4 characters
though.)
- LOGO - When creating a new configuration file (KSCNF.DAT) the program was
not recording the current build number which would result in an Error 13.
(Workaround is to copy the KSCNF.DAT file from another data set).
- CUSTOMER DISPLAY - The program was sending 2 character 0s (the blank
character) at the beginning of each message. This was causing it to not work
with OPOS drivers and may have caused problems with other connection types as
well.
- SECURITY FEED - Information was not being sent to the Security Feed
device.
- FILE LOCKED MESSAGE - AUDIT ENTRIES - When audit entries where cached
due to the transaction file not being available and then an audit entry
was requested for a function that was set to not be audited, the program
would not proceed until it could write all the audit entries that had been
cached. This could result in the "File Is Locked by Another User" message
appearing if the transaction file was in use. Now the program will continue
on and just keep caching audit entries until the file is available (except
when changing modules where it will wait until the audit entries can be
written to transaction file).
- TRN - SCRIPTED ITEMS - ERROR 6 - Loading a previous transaction with
scripted items that are components that have a fixed cost of null could
cause an error 6.
- GLLINK - When adding up sub-totals from invoices, the program was not
rounding line items to the nearest penny which could cause the GL-Entry
to be out of balance if LineItemPrice*Qty resulted in fractional cents.
2/16/10 - v7.00 Build 20
Synced with v6.30 build 30
- LOGO - Convert Data - Variances - Variances with more than 7 items on them
were having the rest of the records marked as Variance Headers so packing
the file would end up with a lot of extra variances listed (most of them
not valid). If data has already been converted to v7 format (prior to
v7.00 build 20), then the program will go through the transaction files and
fix the variances (as long as the file has not been packed already).
IMPTRN/IMPPOR - Added support for importing the "Extended Description" field.
- IMPTRN/IMPPOR - Inventory lookups were finding the closest match not the
exact match so if the item wasn't found, it would load another item.
POR - Added ability to enter a line item by AltID#.
- POR - Entering a line item by Manufacturer was not working correctly.
- POR - Sort Line Item ([Shift+F2]) was not working correctly.
----- v6.30 Build 30 ---
- VAR - Editing a posted variance without changing the date was causing the
index to the variance to be lost (it would no longer appear on lists or
reports). (Packing the transaction file corrects the problem.)
