Accounting

• FTM-2994 / Ship To Email – New fields are available on the Ship To setup found by selecting Addresses when adding/editing a Customer. A single Email Address can be added. If utilizing email capabilities in Agvance, indicate how to handle the email - Email Staged or Email Direct. When the full Mail Host information and the API Database ID are populated and an email is entered on a Ship To selected for an Invoice, the email will be included in the list of those receiving the email of this transaction. This allows Growers who have individuals responsible at each Ship To for billing to have separate setups and not have to include all of their billing managers on every Invoice being sent to the Grower.
• FTM-3306 / Combine Customer Utility – Highlight a Customer at Accounting / File / Open / Customers and select Start With to add a new Customer with the data from the highlighted customer populated. The ID will need to be set to a new ID and there are options are available to Copy Tech Licenses, Copy State Permits, Copy Addresses, and Copy Quotes. Social Security Numbers and FEINs are not copied over.
  Note: The Start With button is hidden unless the role the user is under has been enabled to use this feature by selecting Roles at Hub / Setup / Users. On the Role Name tab, the Allow access to Start With Customer option is available.

Inventory

• FTM-2971 / Delivery Ticket - Truckload Manager – A new field on the Delivery Ticket will track if the ticket has been printed from either Accounting or Truckload Manager.

• FTM-2666 / Product Request Form Available to Deliver – In the Product Request process, when asking for the Available to Deliver value of a product with more than one product matching the selected Product ID and Department category in the Warehouse location, a window displays with those filtered Products to see which Department should be used.

• FTM-3119 / Grower Order Product Selection Filtering – The Grower Order Product Selection window at Inventory / Manage Seed Orders / Grower Order Product Substitution now uses the multi-select window with filters. This selection is still limited to a single Product.
