V10.04

		Release Notes For Version 10.04
		Retain QuickBar Settings The 'Retain QuickBar' facility has been added to a variety of screens throughout the system.
		Reverse VAT The system now allows vat codes to be defined as requiring 'reverse vat' on both sales and purchase invoices. If a reverse vat code is defined on a sales invoice then a statement will be printed on the invoice informing the customer of the amount he is due to pay. A new report has been added to the 'Purchase Invoice Report Menu' to show the amount of reverse vat payable against supplier's invoices.
		Nominal Account Maintenance The list of valid nominal accounts can now be accessed via the 'System Maintenance / System Settings' menu.
		Customer Maintenance New options have been added to allow the 'DELIVER_BY' control flag to be overridden on a customer-by-customer basis, and also to specify the maximum number of lines to be included on a delivery note. A new option has been added to export selected customer details in a format suitable for importing into Sage MMS.
		Customer / Supplier Contact Maintenance This screen has been modified to allow a full contact name to be built up from separate 'first name', 'surname', 'title' and 'salutation' elements. Existing contact names have been written to both the 'full contact name' and 'salutation' fields for backwards compatibility. Users wishing to EDIT these existing contact names will however need to re-enter them in the new format.
		Customer's Own Part Numbers Customer's own part numbers are now always read from the ORDERED BY customer throughout the system. These were previously read from the DELIVER TO and INVOICE TO customer codes in various parts of the system meaning that they had to be entered more than once to show on all document types.
		Sales Order Reports There is now an option to show all values (including the totals) in a chosen currency. Previously the report would default to showing unit prices in the currency of the order, but the totals in the home currency, with an option to also show the unit prices in the home currency. The report now allows a choice of currency for the totals and will default to showing the unit prices in that same currency, but with the option to show them in the currency of the order.
		Invoice and Delivery Note Numbers A new control flag - 'INVOICE_AS_DELIVERY' has been added to attempt to keep invoice and delivery numbers in sync. Please note that using this option could lead to gaps in your delivery and invoice number sequences.
		Purchase Orders There are now eight 'required documentation' check boxes stored against a purchase order, all of which have user-definable titles. For backwards compatibility boxes 1 to 3 have been named 'Certificate Of Release', 'First Article Report' and 'Material Mill Certificate', although these can be changed if required. Default settings for these fields on new purchase orders can be set against each supplier. A check box has been added to the main purchase order entry screen to hide any complete lines from view.
		Supplier Price List The supplier price list now correctly shows the 'customer's own part number' when multiple price breaks exist.
		Trial Kitting It is now possible to specify a customer code when running this routine. If entered, any 'Free Issue' material owned but this customer will be included, whilst any owned by other customers will be excluded (as in previous versions).
		Standard Cost Calculation The screens where the parts to be calculated are selected now have 'QuickBars'. When selecting a range of parts there is a new option to select all parts in the current 'QuickBar' view.
		Works Orders for Simple Sales Orders Simple sales orders have been updated to allow works orders to be allocated to an order line.
		Pseudo Sub Works Orders A new option has been added to allow manually created works orders with the same integer part to be considered as sub works orders by the 'Goods Received' screen. For example, Works Order 10.00 has been created automatically along with 10.01 and 10.02. Works Order 10.03 has been created manually. Although there is no outstanding requirement for 10.03, the system will allow the allocation of stock from 10.03 to 10.00 and create any new components required. The control flag 'WO_PSUDO_SUB_WO' should be set to 'Yes' to activate this option.
		Drawing Pictures, Manufacturing Instructions Operation and Works Order Operation Pictures Drawing pictures, manufacturing instructions operation pictures and works order operations pictures have been updated with an additional option called 'Show in list'. This option will specify which pictures / items should be shown in a list whenever a route card is printed.
		Assembly Maintenance Assembly Maintenance has been updated with a facility to quickly view the 'next' and 'previous' parts in the stocked parts list. When in the assembly details screen, the user can now use the 'Ctrl+Page Up' and 'Ctrl+Page Down' key combinations to view the next and previous assembly in the stocked parts list. Please note that this facility will only be available at the top level as it is not applicable in any sub-level of an assembly.
		Preactor Scheduling Further small refinements have been made to the running of FactoryMaster in conjunction with Preactor.
		Dimension Inspection Maintenance This has been added to the Internal Quality Menu and allows the recording of Dimension Inspection Records.
