5.1 - sales tax bug with 111

I've entered this problem with Support, but there is no time frame
for a fix. I'm not sure how it impacts other users, but you may
want to test before you apply 111 or 112.

After applying 111, we could no longer change the taxable status
on new or existing purchase orders. After confirming, I submitted
the problem to Support. Currently all of our POs are now created
with all line items set at the default non-taxable status, and we
are unable to change this.

It has been noted as SCR 3209.

To be clear, this bug impacts both new and existing purchase orders,
although the response above says in affects existing only. When I
inquired regarding a time frame for fixes, here is the response:

The Vantage 5.00.337 and 5.10.112 patches are on the website.


The 337 patch contains the following:

JC Job Management SCR 3047 5.00.336

Iin Job Entry, when the last operation is deleted, the job header's Quantity
Completed is updated with the completed quantity of the new final oepration.
Previously, deleting the final operation left the header unable to determine
the quantity complete, resulting in error 2868.

---------------------------------------------------------
PR Payroll SCR 1283 5.00.336

A new program, prf90-pn, accepts a PIN number entry for exporting W2
information. With this program, the contact number in the RA record comes
from the company's record, and the EIN number in the RA record comes from
the employer's/agent's EIN number.

Previously, the exported information left these key fields blank.

---------------------------------------------------------
ES Visual Scheduling SCR 2823 5.00.336

The logic behind the Visual Scheuling Baord and Global Finite Scheduling has
changed somewhat:

* If Global Finite Scheduling is not running, and nobody is using the
Scheduling Board in What-If mode, then you can schedule jobs, run Global
Finite Scheduling, and use the Scheduling Board in whatever mode you would
like (View-Only/What-If).

* If Global Finite Scheduling is running, no other scheduling is allowed.
The scheduling board can be accessed in View-Only mode.

* If the Scheduling Board is running in What-If mode, you can schedule jobs.
However you cannot run Global Finite Scheduling. Also, the Scheduling Board
is accessible only in View-Only mode.

Previously, these logic rules were not in place, resulting in potential
errors such as "visual scheduling board is currently being used".

---------------------------------------------------------
EQ Quote Management SCR 3063 5.00.336

During Get Details for a Quote, the part description for the subcontract
operation now appears correctly. Previously, as a result of modifications
made in the 5.00.334 patch, improper logic made the description blank if it
was for a non-part master part.

---------------------------------------------------------
PR Payroll Management SCR 3214 5.00.337

The Pension and Deferred Compensation checkboxes have been removed from the
Payroll Employee Master as they are no longer needed for the 2001 W-2 forms.


The 112 patch contains the following:

APS eScheduling SCR 2045 5.10.112

All PO releases associated with a scheduled job are sent to eScheduling and
linked to the job there, regardless of whether it appears in eScheduling
before the job appears. Previously, PO releases had to be sent with the job
for the link to be in place.

----------------------------------------------------------
APS eScheduling SCR 2912 5.10.112

If all requirements on a job are to stock, then in the CreateCustomTask XML
statement, the destination is S. Otherwise, the destination is C for
Customer. Previously, the destination was C regardless of the requirements
on the job.

----------------------------------------------------------
BM Advanced Bill of Materials SCR 2088 5.10.112

The Cost Set Entry lists now multiply variances by 100, resulting in numbers
that are percentages. Previously, the variances were not multiplied,
resulting in misleading displays.

----------------------------------------------------------
EQ Quote Management SCR 3102 5.10.112

In Quote Entry, the 3159 error no longer appears when you search for an
assembly. Previously, improper logic brought this error about.

----------------------------------------------------------
ES Visual Scheduling SCR 3041 5.10.112

In Global Finite Scheduler, an operation with labor detail is considered
started regardless of whether or not it has cost. Phase 1 criteria is now
the same as that of Phase 4: "Started" is defined by whether labor detail
has been entered.

Previously, it was started only if it had cost, resulting in a discrepancy
between Phase 1 and Phase 4 criteria and potential duplicate-record errors.

----------------------------------------------------------
ES Visual Scheduling SCR 3027 5.10.112

While running a full regeneration in MRP and someone scheduling a job in Job
Entry the message "Visual Scheduling Board currently being used" would
appear. You now can run a MRP regeneration and schedule a job without
receiving the message.

----------------------------------------------------------
IM Inventory Management SCR 2468 5.10.112

During a negative issue job material transaction in Issue to Mfg, the costs
returned to inventory come from the Part record. Previously, when multiple
parts were issued to a job on the same material sequence, the costs were
coming from the Job record, resulting in inaccuracies.

----------------------------------------------------------
IM Inventory Management SCR 3132 5.10.112

If the Advanced Material Module is not installed, the Return Materials
window has disabled the From Warehouse and From Bin fields. Previously these
fields were enabled, resulting in an unnecessary requirement for
installations that did not have the module.

----------------------------------------------------------
JC Job Management SCR 1756 5.10.112

On the Work In Process report, all PartTran (Part Transaction) fields now
store numbers to the same number of decimal places. Also, the processing
between the fields keeps the same level of precision. Previously, different
levels of precision were in place, resulting in potential COS calculation
roundoff errors.

----------------------------------------------------------
JC Job Management SCR 2111 5.10.112

In Job Entry, the estimated run quantity from a quote no longer includes the
operations scrap percent twice for jobs from quotes that had Get Details
done. Previously, Quote Entry's Get Details function was adding scrap to the
run quantity, resulting in a double add in some cases.

----------------------------------------------------------
JC Job Management SCR 3068 5.10.112

Several "Get Details" related programs now insert a memo to the job line,
the quote line, or Part record where the details information applies:

Get Details from Job
Get Details from Methods
Get Details from Quote
Bill of Material Maintenance
Get Mfg Details for Quote
Get Manufacturing Details

The memo includes the source of the details, the user ID that got the
details, and the date, time, and part number and revision.

This feature is new.

----------------------------------------------------------
OM Order Management SCR 3093 5.10.112

In RMA Dispositions, you can no longer dispose an RMA receipt to an unfirm
job. Previously, the only validation was that a job was not closed,
resulting in potential dispositions to unfirm jobs.

----------------------------------------------------------
OM Order Management SCR 3137 5.10.112

Closed order releases no longer have allocated quantities. Previously,
Vantage was allowing suggestions to be created for order allocations
regardless of whether the order release was open or closed.

----------------------------------------------------------
QA Quality Assurance SCR 3080 5.10.112

In Inspection Processing, PO receipts no longer allow a subcontract receipt
to pass inspection into stock or a job material. Rather, subcontract
operations can go only to the exact subcontract operation from which they
came. Likewise, stock or material receipts can be passed only to stock or
material receipts.

Previously, a subcontract receipt could be passed to a stock or job
material.

----------------------------------------------------------
QA Quality Assurance SCR 3104 5.10.112

The message "The Job and all assemblies have been completed - cannot accept"
could appear in error when accepting a subcontract DMR to a subcontract job
operation. The error condition has been corrected.

----------------------------------------------------------
QA Quality Assurance SCR 3173 5.10.112

A DMR can now be created for a lot-tracked part during insection.
Previously, improper validation resulted in the inability to fail a
lot-tracked part because of an improper DMR number.

----------------------------------------------------------
QA Quality Assurance SCR 3169 5.10.112

In Work Center Maintenance, you must now enter an Input Warehouse if Vantage
has an Advanced Material Management license. Also, the Input Warehouse / Bin
and Output Warehouse / Bin fields (four fields) are enabled only if the
license is present.

Previously, the Input Warehouse field was not required, resulting in
complications for Inspection Processing.

----------------------------------------------------------
SR Shipping/Receiving SCR 1052 5.10.112

A closed job can no longer be the basis of a shipment. Previously, you could
ship from a closed job.

----------------------------------------------------------
SR Shipping/Receiving SCR 2992 5.10.112

On the Customer Shipment Entry window, the Shipped check box has been
reinstated into the tabbing order. Previously, you could not tab to it.

----------------------------------------------------------
SR Shipping/Receiving SCR 2995 5.10.112

In Customer Shipment Tracker, if a memo is present, the memo image (with
text depicted on the memo) now appears upon entering the window. Previously,
it would appear only after the user pressed the Memo icon, resulting in a
potentially misleading graphic.

----------------------------------------------------------
SR Shipping/Receiving SCR 3112 5.10.112

An unfirm job can no longer be the basis of a shipment. Previously, you
could ship from an unfirm job.

----------------------------------------------------------
XA Transaction History SCR 2175 5.10.112

In Part Tracker, the Transaction History total now is stored and restored
during the creation of temporary records. Previously, exceeding 50 records
excluded other records, yet the total would still account for those, pushing
the running total higher than it should have been.

----------------------------------------------------------
XA Comments SCR 2821 5.10.112

The Comments window in Part Tracker can now be closed with the X in the
corner. Previously, improper logic kept the window from responding to the X,
resulting in an error.

----------------------------------------------------------
XA Part Tracker SCR 3103 5.10.112

In Part Tracker, the customer on an RMA connected with a part is now found
in the RMA record. Previously, the customer was determined from the order on
the RMA. This would potentially give a "No customer record" error message,
since not all RMA's are connected to an order.

Support told me there is now no way to control the retirement plan
checkbox
on the w2 other than to manually edit the w2. Why has this changed?
Why
wasn't the pension plan field just renamed on the form? Now this
creates
more work. Now there is no indicator in vantage for pension/retirement
plan.
Sorry... I meant this to go to Tim and not the list.
