The Post Payments and Apply Open Credits are completed.  You will be able to post Write-Offs during Post Payments and Post Cash-Out during Apply Open Credit. In this version there will be no Post Credit Memo option. Returns will automatically post open credits to customer account.  I tried to incorporate into this version all the features asked for over the years like being able to post over payments to a Expense account and I opened the Discount up so you can post any discount amount no matter if Cash Discount is on or off. Basically it can handle Over Payments by posting to an expense account rather than leaving an open credit on the customer account. And Under Payments by opening up the Discount amount so user can post any amount there.

For example: A customer has an open invoice of $49.57; you receive payment in the amount of $49.75.
You will be able to post the total $49.75 as payment, apply to the open $49.57 and apply the remaining payment balance of .18 cents to the “Cash Over/Under” account instead of leaving an open credit of .18 cents on the customer’s account.

For Example: A customer has an open invoice of $49.57; you receive payment in the amount of $49.50.
You will be able to post the total $49.50 as payment, apply $49.50 to the open $49.57 and Discount the .07 cents closing the open invoice. (Even if the Cash Discount is On or Off or even if the .07 cents does not match the Cash Discount)

The Basic Concept and Design.

This version is designed with Windows Server 2008 R2 Hyper-V (virtual machine technology) in mind. With Hyper-V, it's easier than ever to take advantage of the cost savings of virtualization through Windows Server 2008 R2. Optimize your server hardware investments by consolidating multiple server roles as separate virtual machines running on a single physical machine. Efficiently run multiple private desktops as virtual machines. Remote users would desktop into their own private virtual machine over the internet. While local users run as a normal local network. This allows ProFrame 2015 and its SQL Databases to be installed on the local host server. 
 

With that in mind, the concept and design of multiple warehouses takes on a whole new facelift in this version. The basic change is that all warehouse data is stored in the same SQL database. For example: the inventory table will maintain all inventory items across all warehouses within the same table.

In other words, there is only one Inventory File, that one file holds all inventory items. The warehouse code keeps them separated within that one file. The host warehouse can make changes globally as you modify any host item (001-Warehouse), if you change the description of an item; it updates all other warehouse items at that time. Remote sites can only see that warehouse during IFM, but they can see them during order entry.  (remote users will see customers, vendors, etc… etc.. just like local users)

The main concept and idea is to make this version much more efficient and cost effective for multiple warehouse clients, and at the same time keep it compatible with single warehouse clients.

Only one customer file, one vendor file, one terms file, one catalog file, one  user group file, one user file etc… etc… etc… for my current multiple warehouse clients… you get the idea… Single warehouse clients have always been a single company (warehouse) and you can continue to be a single warehouse in this new version.

Side Note: I have a current client running the current version of ProFrame I on a Server 2008 using this Hyper-V technology, so I know it works. So this new version is designed to fit that Hyper-V technology.

Order Entry is coming together, in this version there will be no CSR Menu Screen. When you pull down the Transaction Menu you will select Order Entry. This program will load all open orders for you to process orders. You will be able to Create, Edit, Addon, Confirm, Post Shipments, Post Payments and Print any type of open order from within this one program. It’s very nice so far, the idea is to load Order Entry and leave it running all the time only refreshing when needed to re-load fresh data from the SQL data store.

So far, I can create any type of order, confirm, post shipment, create back orders, post payments and print every type of orders. It is also creating Credit Retuns when posting returns... Be sure to view screen shots below.

Update 07/24/2010.. Order Entry is basically completed..
