FrameReady Software Updates

We have recently released a FrameReady 8.0v5 update.
This update is for FrameReady 8 Multi Site Version for Windows™ and MAC™

This update addresses the following issues.

All Files:

• Updated navigational icons to give a better appearance when Autozoom is turned on.

Invoices:

Fixed

• An issue where in some instances, when redeeming reward points, the points would not be deducted from the contact record.
  
• An issue when sending an invoice email it sometimes finds the wrong customer.

Modified

• Reward Points to work like a coupon, rather than a payment. A "Redeem Reward Points" button has been added to the Invoice Data Entry screen. You can still redeem reward points through the Payment entry screen. It is recommended that you check with your accountant or tax authority as to the correct procedure for redeeming reward points.

Added

• An option to create a report for accounts receivable on any given date.
• An option to create a report of deposits on hand (this only applies to invoices where the date has been temporarily removed so as not to be included in any sales reports, i.e., lay away invoices, or deposit invoices).
• Added/modified Reward Points to work like a coupon, rather than a payment. A "Redeem Reward Points" button has been added to the Invoice Data Entry screen. You can still redeem reward points through the Payment entry screen. It is recommended that you check with your accountant or tax authority as to the correct procedure for redeeming reward points.
• Keywords from the Contacts file to the Invoice Find screen so you can search invoices based on any Contact keyword.

Price Codes:

Fixed

• Some spelling errors.

Modified

• Reassigned different values in the Price Comparison screens in the Price Codes file.

Contacts:

Fixed

• An issue where the Keywords screen could not be seen when screen resolution is set to 1024x768.

Work Orders:

Fixed

• An issue where sometimes a new work order request would present the following message "This record cannot be modified..."
• An issue where printing "Two Up" work orders only prints one to a page.
• An issue where entering values in the "Fit to Readymade" screen might calculate incorrectly when clicking "Center Window" or "Make Top & Sides the same"
• An issue with the Special Order function. Rather than separate print and framing prices being posted to an invoice, a combined price plus the print would be posted.
• An issue where you would loose your found set if you restored a scenario to the current work order.
• An issue where duplicating a work order and the "Fit To Glass" field had a value greater than 1 would revert back to 1 on the new order.
• An issue where duplicating a work order (or making an Estimate active), that was created prior to a tax rate change, would enter the old tax rate.
• An issue where "Other" field on a work order failed to display a unit price in the detailed summary report.

Modified

• The behaviour of entering a matboard number so that a list is not presented when only one match is found (a list will be presented when using the search button [magnifying glass icon])

Added

• Additional fields to the work order Proposal print out (Notes, Footer from Blind Estimate, Terms and Shipping from Contacts record).
• Error trapping for when no matboard has been selected but mat margins have been entered.
• Error trapping for when no top mat has been selected but a second mat has been entered.

Purchase Orders:

Fixed

• An issue where performing a relookup of costs on a Purchase Order would delete the sizes for Chop and Join items.

Added

• A "Go to Work Order" button on Purchase Order line items.
• An Email menu to Purchase Order component which allows you to send your PO as an email with or without an attachment. The without attachment option inserts the PO line items in the Body of the message as coma separated text. This conforms to Larson Juhl's standard for placing orders by email.
