5.1 Update Status

Hi Darren,
We went to 5.1 at the end of March. It went fairly smoothly. Hopefully you have a test version and have any custom reports converted over already. That took me the most time of anything.
Make sure user's know about the "ready to invoice" box to check when printing Packing Slips. You can now print a PS without Invoicing with this new box. IF you have PS printed now which are not Invoiced yet, I believe 5.1 will back them to the "not ready to Invoice" (box unchecked) state. Just something to be aware of.

Data Collection is quite different if you happen to use that. There is a new Icon in the Vantage Directory now for using Data Collection rather than the old one. It actually gives more resources to the Data Collection licenses.

Other issues depend on which modules you may be using.

As long as you apply the latest patch, you don't have to apply each previous patch. You can apply the patch to your database either before or after the conversion. If you apply it before your conversion, then your "Data Conversions" stage will be slighty longer. If you apply the patch after your conversion, then you'll have to do another "Data Conversion" which will vary in length depending on how many patches have elapsed since the current one is applied.

Hi all,

I am going to make the move to 5.1 from 5.0 this weekend. Are there any
problems or gotchas I should be looking for? Do I need to install all
patches or only the most current? Any insight regarding 5.1 would be
appreciated, thank you.

Happy Friday,
