In order to introduce further modifications and adjustments of Zepter Soft into production environment we decided to prepare Release 4.17. New edition of Zepter Soft include a few substantial changes and it was deployed, in accordance to the plan, at 31th October 2014.
As a part of Release 4.17 some new features have been added:
Purchase Planning Tool
Purchase Planning Tool for small and medium Zepter Companies has been implemented. General concept of the functionality is to calculate inventory demant based on registerd sales contracts, sales orders, current stock and released purchase orders.
Sales Contract with Deduction of Commission
Sales contract’s functionality has been extended by a possibility of assigning Balance Account No., in case when representative buys some goods for himself and would like to pay for a contract by commission deduction. When posting invoice for such sales contracts, system posts automatically payment to sales contract and payment to vendor related to representative. Function can be enabled by selection of appropriate Payment Method Code in Sales Contract.
“Representative’s Bin Content” Report
“Representative’s Bin Content” report presents all goods handed over to representative, which in NAV are posted to separate Bin, assigned to the rep.
Moreover some functionalities have been modified:
G/L Entries Creation Date
“G/L Entries” and “VAT Entries” tables have been extended by G/L Register No. and G/L Register Creation Date fields which values’ allow to search entries chronologically according to their creation date.
Additional Reverse Transaction Restrictions
“Revers Transaction” function has been blocked for all G/L transactions which are related to sales contract ledger entries.
Supplements on Item Categories
Functionality of Item Supplements allows for each item to set a list of additional items which should always be sold together. Before modification list of supplement items could be assigned only to particular items. As a result of modification, supplement items can be assigned to “Item Categories” as well.
Line Discount in Sales Contract Invoices
Before modification line discounts applied in sales contract were not visible in Sales Invoice. The only discount visible in invoice was a discount applied for whole document, decreasing value of invoice, but not assigned to any particular line.
As a result of modification, discount applied in sales contract lines, can be copied to sales order as a line discount, thus it can be presented in invoice printout for each line. Coping of line discounts to sales orders can be enabled on the level of “Template”
Posting Groups Blocking on Item Transfers
It was possible without any restrictions to change posting groups (gen. business and gen. product) when posting item transfer or item reclassification (changing item no.). As a result of the modification system allows to change above posting groups only if Allow Grp. Chng. in Transfers field of “Inventory Setup” is a checkmarked.
