What’s New In This Release?

Sept. 2, 2009 — The ECi DDMS Version 8.19.40 maintenance release is available now for software download via the ECi Customer Support Portal (https://support.ecisolutions.com).

Changes in This Release:

This maintenance release addresses the following issues:

• Corrected F6 in Furniture Order Entry to write new tax district to P-GLOBAL instead of the old master tax district. (55875)
  
• Corrected Promotions so discount off next order applies as expected (55849),
  
• Corrected Furniture Order Entry Change Mode so that items added no longer lose their sell price when the system reprices third party billing. (55842)
• Corrected Order Entry logic for crediting the actual total even when promotional discounting is involved. Previously, the system was crediting the undiscounted total. (55773)
• Corrected Machine Order Entry so that trading in a machine with accessories will return the machine and its accessories to the SERIAL customer. In 8.19, the last accessory item number changed incorrectly to that of the machine, but this is fixed now. (55763)
• Corrected the Furniture Delivery/Install Scheduling screen to include "Other Fields" in the limits screen, consistent with Project Management limits. (55665)
• Corrected Print Preview in Work in Progress to display the yellow total lines showing amounts, locations, and so on as they appear on the WIP screen.(55555)
  
• Corrected the Item Tax District function so that if a user inadvertently adds an item tax district with an existing ID, the duplicate record is not allowed in C-TAX-ID. The user is prompted that the ID is a duplicate, and taken back to the field to correct it. (55281)
