What’s New In This Release?

September 15, 2010 — ECi DDMS Version 8.23.20 is now available for download from the ECi Customer Support Portal. This maintenance release includes 17 software changes:

1. 57068: Enhanced the Windows 2008 Server backup.cmd script so that daily backups are no longer limited to one backup per cartridge. If your DDMS software runs on Windows 2008 Server and uses a Dell RD1000 Data Cartridge Backup, you will need to create a folder on the removable drive for each day of the week the system will backed up. Each folder should be named for the first three letters of the day. For example, the folder for Monday should be Mon, for Tuesday the folder should be named Tue, and so on.
2. 56759: Corrected the EBS Server installation so it properly completes without error messages on Windows 2000, Windows 2003, and 2008 servers.
3. 56837: Enhanced the EDI 810 to use line item price changes, not just received price. In the (SG-A) screen, set the Use Receive Price to Y. In the (+Z) screen, modify the ;RPT:SGB so that the 810 has EDI-TOTALS selected, and set a limit for the PRICE field so that the first five characters are "PRICE". The current price from p-master will then be used instead of the price received on the 850. If there is UOM factoring, then the factoring calculation will be performed on the current p-master p_price field.
4. 57043: Corrected A/R Posting Invoice Selection Screen (graphical only) so that selecting "Display Credit Invoices in Payment Grid" no longer results in a Type Mismatch error when posting credit amounts to open tickets.
5. 65873: Corrected an issue with paying A/R Invoices online via ECinteractive, so that an unexpected value in the customer Department packet of the GOA does not result in an invalid account number message.
6. 57026: Corrected Purchase Order Entry (graphical only ) to allow the user to change the Vendor Global Default Communication options. Previously, the system was displaying the error message "Operation is not allowed when object is closed."
7. 57028: Corrected the text-only (O) screen logic to properly print statement promos when using extensive report limits. Previously the execo program had an issue with in handling the tenth file when fields in the the report come from that many files, particularly promo lines. This issue is fixed, and the maximum number of files from which fields may be retrieved has been increased to 16.
8. 56768: Corrected text-only list and price variance issues on inbound purchase orders that AOPD contract dealers may experience. The GOE now ignores List Price UOM differences if there is an alias set-up for the item and the trading partner is set up to use receive price.
9. Several changes related to communicating with Knoll via PSN:
   1. 57066: Corrected Knoll PSN services to use the Sold To # (Dealer ID) from Default Vendor Options based on the P/O location and not the Vendor Account Number in the Vendor screen. A dealer with multiple locations would have different Dealer IDs, but the Vendor Account Number remains the same for all locations.
   2. 57065: Corrected by adding the FD Country field as a required Default setting when setting up Knoll PSN services.
   3. 57056: Corrected Knoll PSN services to properly populate the FD state when building a Knoll purchase order. Previously in DDMS 8.23, the system used the city to populate the both FD city and FD state fields.
   4. 57031:Corrected Knoll PSN services so when transmitting purchase orders, the system builds the XML file using the proper format and passes it to the dealer's Output folder. In DDMS 8.23, Knoll transmissions were using a similar vendor file format and placing the file in the Acknowledgement folder.
   5. 56970: Corrected Knoll PSN services to make the CBD box required in the graphical Communications screen and add it as a default setting in the graphical Default Vendor Options.
   6. 56578: Corrected an error in conversion logic for Knoll PSN services when building purchase orders in the graphical Purchasing Communication window.
10. Several changes related to communicating with HNI (HON, Gunlocke, and Paoli) via PSN:
    1. 57047: Corrected HNI PSN logic to pass the output data properly from text-based so that Acknowledgements show up as being received in the graphical Communicate POs window.
    2. 57034: Corrected so when using HNI and Kimball PSN services to receive acknowledgments, the system does not display an error message. In DDMS 8.23, if the contact was not set up for the user requesting the acknowledgments, then the password was not properly defaulting back to the vendor supply password.
    3. 57018: Corrected HNI PSN services to use the Customer volume when searching for information in the contacts file. Previously, the system was set up to search the Telemarketing volume for the file, resulting in an Invalid Destination ID error message.
