This build has the following bug fixes implemented:

Better

11824512 - Getting Unsupported DataBase Type error message when starting EntWin or Job Master

This was principally a data issue; we were not handling weird Macola ES data properly and, as a result, the software was throwing ugly error messages.

Bug Fixes: Version 9.8.8.828 - Released 10 March 2020

This build has the following bug fixes implemented:

Fixed

8158606 - Column Created Does Not Belong to Table Error When Viewing Contact

When using BRAIN and attempting to view certain contacts, the website threw an ugly error. This only happened on some contacts that met certain criteria.

Fixed

10728200 - Process End of Day Job Does Not Accept Printer String

While testing 'Process End of Day" Job in the Enterprise for Windows software, an 'invalid printer specified' error was being generated; immediately thereafter, the order being processed went into 'record lock' and remained in 'Selected' status.

Better

11584831 - Customer Not Able To Add To The Cart When There Is Obsolete Item From An Old Order

BirdDog has long possessed the functionality to add a new order from an older invoice or order, but if an item on that invoice or order had been set to Obsolete status in the system, this new order would error out. Now, the system pops up a message warning you which items on order are obsolete.

Better

11717042 - Add Jobs to the System Administrator Role

Users with this role can now access the Jobs page on the website and can add, delete or edit existing jobs.

Fixed

11805639 - Only One Line Sent to Authorize.net When Capturing

When capturing an order using Enterprise for Windows, we were only sending up a single line item for the Itemized Order Information section on the Unsettled Transactions part on Authorize.net. The actual money amount being sent to Auth.net was correct, however.

Bug Fixes: Version 9.8.8.823 - Released 9 December 2019

This build has the following bug fixes implemented:

Fixed

8067602 - Order Campaigns Not Working Properly

When an order was placed in Customer Service Order Entry, the Order Campaign was not being saved properly. If you brought the order up in Order Edit, then Saved, the Order Campaign at the top of the DDL was automatically saved for the order.

Better

9558651 - Customer Incorrect When Viewing Opportunity Carts

The system was not correctly changing customers when you navigated between opportunity carts, which resulted in some confusion.

Better

10143456 - Add Single Line String Field Data Type

While using the BirdDog field system, some customers were having issues hitting enter after typing in field values as the carriage return/line feeds was being saved to the data and messing up comparisons. We added this single line string data type that does not allow carriage return/line feeds.

Better

10452211 - Add support for Macola Order Entry Crystal Reports

This update adds support for printing a crystal report Order Acknowledgement, Quote, or Invoice that connects directly to a SQL table or view (which makes them engine specific). The standard reports still use a dataset that does not change based upon your engine.

Better

10542917 - Saved Carts Slow to Respond

Coding fixes sped up the saved carts functionality; previously, large carts would take a really long time to actually add the items if the system didn't time out entirely.

Fixed

10596584 - Revision Failed When Attempting to Update Schema

When updating software against a Macola ES database, the system was throwing this error.

Better

10775864 - Unable to Add Item to Cart

This error turned out to only happen in specific scenarios where an auto add item referenced itself, thus causing an infinite loop. The system now logs the problem and error handling has been added to items to not allow this data to be created in such a broken way in the first place.

Fixed

11152829 - Import Price Codes Has Bad Error When Price is Not Included But a Quantity Is

The system now handles this bad data better on an import price codes.

Better

11190582 - Cart Address Should Update When Updating Billing Address

Prior to this build, if you began the checkout process, then navigated to your account information and changed your billing address, the existing order did not automatically change that address information.

Better

11365310 - 2nd Item Description Not Printing on Invoice

The second line description was not being displayed on the default BirdDog invoice report.

Fixed

11471119 - Order Edit Blows Up with Missing NodeID Error

In certain (if exceedingly rare) instances, attempting to use the order edit screen would result in a site crash due to an existing order being in a weird state. We handle that more gracefully now.

Better

11480848 - Creation User Missing Blows Up Incident Form

An incident form notes the user that created it, so if that user was deleted after an incident form was generated, the system did not handle this well and effectively orphaned the incident so it could never be visited again.

Better

11516273 - Export Query Results to Email Job Sometimes Cuts Off the Results

This is a known issue when emailing html. Email has a hard 80 character line length limit. If you exceed this limit, email servers can automaticly break the line. This is normally not an issue unless the break happens in the middle of a html tag like TD or TR. When a line break gets added in the middle of an html tag the remainder of the email is broken and either disappears or is formated badly. The system now handles this more gracefully.

Bug Fixes: Version 9.8.8.808 - Released 27 August 2019

This build has the following bug fixes implemented:

Fixed

7331893 - Macola Orders Posted in Birddog Have Wrong Kit Component Quantities

When you posted an order created in Macola using Dashboard | Accounting | Process Orders that has a kit item on the order, the components for the kit were issued at 1/100 of their actual quantity. This worked fine if the order was placed in BirdDog or if the order was posted using Macola.

Better

9419275 - Saving Edited Order Can Delete Credit Card Expiration Date in cicmpy

Saving an edited order could delete the credit card expiration date in cicmpy if the customer CC info was edited in Macola while the order was open. This was a case of 2 things open at the same time and they were stepping on each other.

Better

9892356 - Credit Card Expiration Year DDL Not Long Enough

The expiration date dropdown list at various locations only went out to 2026 which is getting dangerously close and some cards already go beyond that.

Better

9976201 - Field Maintenance Does Not Confirm Delete

Clicking on delete just deleted the field instead of asking you to confirm first.

Fixed

9976221 - Cart Will Not Convert to Order When Line Location is Disabled

If all picking days on a location are turned off, an order placed with a line item using that location caused the site to crash.

Better

10238521 - Site Not Redirecting to Correct Entity Page

When you searched for an Entity and then clicked to edit one, the system was ignoring the "Content Layout" entry.

Better

10275237 - Freight Taking Too Long to Rate Causing Orders to Time Out

Certain environments were taking as long as 2 minutes to rate freight on LTL orders during checkout which was causing the entire order to time-out.

Better

10290773 - Amend Item Search Options Tool Tip

Changed the tooltip for the Site Search tab on Site Settings for clarity.

Fixed

10295235 - Get "Page Not Found" Loading Work Order

When you go to Manufacturing | Work Orders and clicked on an order number, you got "Page Not Found".

Fixed

10331078 - New Shipping Address Created with Every Order

In some environments, some customers were generating brand new shipping addresses each time they placed an order. This was not happening with all customers or in all environments.

Fixed

10364660 - Credit Card Order Placed Without Authorization

In some environments, customers were able to place ecommerce credit card orders without the transaction getting authorized. No errors showed on the checkout page.

Fixed

10402858 - Work Orders Filter "Only Lines w/ Qty Remaining" Doesn't Work

The search filter "Only Lines with Qty Remaining" for Manufacturing | Work Orders did not work. You could set it to "TRUE" and still get work orders with Qty Remaining = 0.

Better

10419664 - BDPageHits Not Syncing Down

This table is now included in the sync process; previously, it was not.

Fixed

10573894 - Inventory Transfer Has Allocation Issues

When doing an inventory transfer, you got different Allocation results when you processed the order using Macola vs. Birddog.

Fixed

10576592 - BlankBDStarter Script Has Typo in Comments

Simple typo.

Fixed

10644366 - ProductionOrder Report Blank if No BOM for Item

If the item for a work order does not have a BOM (components), the default BirdDog ProductionOrder report was missing ALL of the data.

Better

10721261 - Fix Formatting of Webcategories Without Items

When setting a webcategory to categories17 that has a sub webcategory without items, the item table header displayed even when it doesn't have any items; now, its hidden.

Better

10722926 - Production Order Report Needs Sales Order & Item # Added

The ProductionOrder.rpt needed the title "Source" changed to "Sales Order" and have the Line # added to it if the source is from a sales order.

Better

Added declared value field to the Shipping Interface and updated the import to include it.

Better

Fixed the example.

Better

10765297 - When Using Manufacturing Without PIM, Description Needs to Be Handled Better

Without PIM, Item Descriptions on Manufacturing were mashed together which made them illegible.

Better

10768001 - Shopify Connector Doesn't Handle Fulfillments Correctly if Items Were Not Uploaded

If an item was created simultaneously in BirdDog and Shopify (instead of creating it in BD and then uploading it to Shopify), when an order was placed in Shopify with that order, it did not function correctly.

Fixed

10768292 - WH Code Gets Changed by Connector

When running the BirdDog Connector from Service Pro to Sage 100, the order generated in Sage had the wrong warehouse code specific line items.

Fixed

10781329 - In Stock Order Rule Doesn't Handle Inverted Correctly

The issue here was the assumption that an inverted In Stock trigger meant out of stock. It actually means "there are no in-stock items on the order". We updated documentation and adjusted the code slightly.

Better

10781815 - Reported Production Changes Old Qty to the Wrong Value in Inventory Transactions

"Reported Production from POP" was adding the quantity produced to the "Old Qty" and then displaying that as the "Old Qty". It then added the quantity produced to that amount and displayed it as "Qty New".

Fixed

10813596 - PO Receipt Import Not Properly Coded for Macola ES

Import PO Receipts with Serial Number information were not recording GL transactions correctly for Debit Inventory and Credit Accrued Receiving.

Fixed

Better

10863519 - Add Tool Tip for Create Transfer Order

Tooltip added.

Fixed

10873385 - Reprint Posted Invoices Throwing Error if Tax Schedule Used

This was only happening with Tax Schedules. Reprint Posted Invoices threw an ugly error if Tax Schedule was used on the order.

Fixed

10907045 - Freight Collect Account DDL Shows All Guests Accounts

During Guest checkout, if you selected "Collect" for the freight pay code, the DDL was showing the freight accounts for other past Guests.

Fixed

11013577 - Cannot Check Out with Email Address Longer than 50 Characters

If using an email address of this length, the system was erroring out when trying to checkout.

Fixed

11016251 - Lost Password Email Subject Hard Coded

The email that gets sent when you request lost password always had the subject "Password Recovery from {WebSiteSettings.CompanyName}". Subject line now actually comes from the email template.

Better

11071589 - OrderForm Line Item Grid is Misaligned

At some point in the 9.8.7 system, this grid became a little messed up.

Fixed

11081757 - Need Better Error - Order Line is Missing Existing Transaction Record

Better

Fixed

11131463 - Problem Adding Featured Item to Cart on Cart Page

The system was throwing an error and prevented you from going to the Checkout page when you try to add a "Featured Item" to the cart on the CartForm.aspx or QuickCartForm.aspx pages. It now takes you to the item page so you can select the feature options. Customer Service | Order Entry also takes you to the item page for the same reason.

Fixed

11305663 - New Customer by Last Sale Date Trigger Not Functioning Correctly

This order rule trigger was not firing when all conditions were met.

Fixed

11305794 - New Product Category Purchase Trigger Not Functioning correctly

Fixed

11318126 - Coupon Code on a Coupon Trigger Doesn't Work if an Item Exists with that Item Number

Fixed

11340078 - Inhibited Additional Items Showing on Thank You Page

If Additional Items "Additional Emails" & "Coupon Code" were unchecked in Site Settings, they still appeared on the Thank You page. Now, if they're not enabled, then they don't show on the Thank You page.

Fixed

11340616 - Avalara Taxed Entire Order When Only Partial Invoiced

When Ship Complete is checked, Avalara calculated tax for the entire order when only a partial of the order was invoiced. Also, when "Ship Complete" is not checked, the "Subtotal" on OrderForm.aspx was showing the whole order amount (not the shipped amount) after invoicing. The "Amount Due" was correct.

Fixed

11156350 - Cash not seeing credit card from ecommerce order

When using BirdDog Cash to process Ecommerce orders that had existing credit card payments, the Cash system was not correctly recognizing those payments for the order and were treating them as if they had not been charged in the first place.

New Features

This branch has the following features implemented:

Better

Release of Assets and Depreciation used to manage tracking assets and manage the accounting of depreciation.

New

Better

9672061 - Update Production Order Screen to MVC

While supporting the existing functionality, we updated this screen to use MVC technology; added Create Dependent Orders button that creates unreleased orders recursively for all components that are set to production order and auto manufacture (PULL in Macola); added list of dependent orders with link to view; added parent order information with link to view (test parent being both a production order and a sales order with a feature item mfg in production order); updated Suggested Production report to only show items manufactured in Production Order (specifically excludes items set to manufacture in Order Entry or Shop Floor)

Better

9706342 - Update Work Order Reports to Support a Start Date Filter

Added better handling for date ranges

Better

9759356 - Autoship

Greatly enhanced and recoded the original autoship module - this feature allows you to setup an item so that a customer can purchase it once and then have orders automatically generated with this item according to a set schedule - once a month, for example. When using guest checkout, this requires the creation of a new account.

Better

9841228 - Sync Updates

Major under-the-hood coding enhancements and general fixes to the sync process.

New

9851382 - Add Entity Search to System Manager

New

9985671 - BirdDog Connector Sub-System

With this release, we've introduced a new system known as the BirdDog Connector. This system serves as a bridge between a number of different systems, including B2B EDI, Magento, M1, Sage 100, Salsify, Service Pro, Shopify. With this Connector, for example, you can create orders in Magento and then sync them down to M1, or create orders in Service Pro and sync them back and forth with Sage 100, or use Shopify for ecommerce orders that can then be pulled down into your Macola system. Setup information for individual connector accounts can be found here.

New

Added a setting to document layouts to set the number of items/categories per "page"

New

10306802 - Add Printed Work Order

This allows Crystal Report Production Order from the Web; we added a Print Work Order button to top of Production Order view / edit screen; to function properly, it requires the application pool to have access to wherever the Crystal Report is stored; easiest solution to this is to put it in the Reports folder of the website.

Better

10325234 - Ca$h: Needs TLS Fix

Coding fix for BirdDog Ca$h to bring it up to spec with other software regarding how it handles TLS.

Better

10398365 - Enhanced Support to Allow Bulk Import of Serial Part Numbers for Receiving Process

Better

11157883 - Sales Order Import Doesn't Allow Duplicate POs

Both Macola and our old sales order import allowed for importing a duplicate PO for the same customer while our 9.8 one doesn't so we restored that functionality to 9.8.

Upgrade Notes

Our many adjustments to coding for Credit Card has resulted in the addition of a new checkbox on the the Accounts Receivable terms code. To ensure that credit card activities - authorize, capture, etc. - function properly, you need to ensure that this checkbox is checked for the appropriate code. To access this, you must navigate to:

Enterprise for Windows: Maintain | Setup | Terms Code
Website: System Management | Accounts Receivable | Terms Code

Select the appropriate terms code, check the Credit Card? box, and save.

9.8.7

Bug Fixes: Version 9.8.7.655 - Released 14 December 2019

This build has the following bug fixes implemented:

Better

10433578 - Update Capture Credit Card Process to Use Customer Credit Cards

Prior to this change when capturing credit card orders during the end of day the system only looked at credit card transactions against the order. Now if you have a credit card order that has no credit card transactions the system will attempt to use a saved credit card from the customer, if it has one.

Better

11008031 - Not Handling Terms Correctly

Customer Service was only using the first credit card terms code in the list from site settings. If you placed an order using the 2nd credit card terms code, it didn't realize it was a credit card and processed the order without authing the card. This fix updated customer service to use the Is Credit Card flag on a terms code instead of using the credit card terms code list from site settings.

Fixed

11452995 - CC Info Not Clearing on Enter Orders When Changing Customers

When switching between customers with a saved credit card while using Customer Service Order Entry, Credit card information was not properly clearing so we were seeing some (but not all) CC info for the previous customer on the new one.

Bug Fixes: Version 9.8.7.654 - Released 27 August 2019

This build has the following bug fixes implemented:

Fixed

9151316 - Add Item Order Rule Adds Item Twice Using Saved Cart

The Order Rule to Add Item was adding the item a second time when you loaded a Saved Cart. It worked normally outside of Save Carts.

Fixed

10775973 - Categories13 Page Does Not Work

This categories page was erroring out and causing the site to misbehave.

Fixed

10859985 - Checkout Throws Error if User Customer Number is Invalid

The checkout page was not handling an invalid customer number gracefully.

Fixed

10902676 - EntWin - Credit Card Won't Save

When using the Enterprise for Windows software and attempting to add a new credit card to an existing customer, the system was throwing an ugly error and refusing to actually save that card to the user.

Better

10921578 - EntWin - Tax Accounts Missing from Permissions List

Fixed

11052326 - Unable to Place Customer Service Order

Attempting to play an order was erroring out in a very ugly way.

Better

11238946 - Capture CC Not Pulling Order Freight if Freight Not Licensed

We changed how this works. Previously, if you had the freight license, you used the freight module to calculate an estimate; otherwise, the order sub-total was multipled by the freight pay code percentage. Now, if you have the freight license, nothing changes: you still use the freight module to calculate an estimate. If the order already has a freight amount, that value is used. Otherwise, the sub-total is multipled by the freight pay code percentage.

Fixed

11346208 - Invoicing Error Crashed Entire Process

During invoicing in certain scenarios, an error on one of the orders not only halted the entire process but put all of the orders after this error in a weird state. We fixed this error for clarity and made it so such a fail does not mess up the rest of the orders after it.

Bug Fixes: Version 9.8.7.636 - Released 6 November 2018

This build has the following bug fixes implemented:

Fixed

7331893 - Macola Orders Posted in Birddog Have Wrong Kit Component Quantities

When you posted an order created in Macola using Accounting | Process Orders that has a kit item on the order, the components for the kit were issued at 1/100 of their actual quantity. Example: if the kit component issued a quantity of 5, Process Orders issued instead 0.05. This worked fine if the order was placed in Birddog or if the order was posted using Macola.

Fixed

7694536 - Field Import on Web Not Working

Field Values were erroneously set to case sensitive, so a value of "red" (for example) did not match a field value of "Red" during the import. In such a scenario now, the import will ignore case providing the data itself matches.

Fixed

7766860 - Percentage Off Order Rule Doesn't Update if Item Added to Cart After Special Code Entered

The Order Rule Result "Percentage Off' wasn't getting updated if you added an item to the cart after the Special Code is entered. Now, it updates every time the cart is updated.

Fixed

7826382 - Contact Note Body Doesn't Save

On BRAIN/ContactForm.aspx, the Body of Contact | Notes did not get saved when you clicked Save.

Fixed

8723801 - ES - Birddog Does Not Write to Macola Order Audit Tables

Orders created and edited in Birddog software were not writing entries properly to the database.

Fixed

9376959 - Quote header not deleted when converting credit card quote to order

When an quote was converted to an order using BirdDog Enterprise, the process was not properly removing the quote so both it and the order remained in the system.

Better

9419275 - Saving Edited Order Can Delete Credit Card Expiration Date in cicmpy

Better

9467769 - Add better error logging to Order Form

Added error handling on a number of the available buttons to catch strange exceptions.

Better

Added a label to the page.

Better

9627196 - Popup on Item Edit Needs Work

Tweaked the visuals for this popup so it doesn't look as bad.

Better

9682111 - Tooltip: Google Analytics in Site Settings Needs Tweak

Edited to improve clarity.

Fixed

9686570 - No longer able to override credit card comments on checkout page

A customization point that existed in prior versions had been removed, added back in this release.

Fixed

9697409 - BDShipViaFreightAccounts Table Not Syncing

This table was not properly syncing which affected how orders were being handled.

Better

9723288 - Web Page Redirect URL's Limited to 50 Characters

Previously, you were unable to add a redirect page if the "Code" was over 50 characters. We have significantly increased that limit.

Fixed

9747062 - Checkout Page Saved Address DDL Problem

The default address (the one created when creating a new customer) was showing in the Checkout page Saved Address DDL as a blank. When you clicked on another saved address, the ship-to info changed to the one selected, however, if you then clicked the 'blank' saved address, nothing happened.

Fixed

9864727 - Authorize Credit Card Not Using Edited Address

When using Enterprise for Windows, if the address on an order is changed, the system was sending the original address loaded from Macola and not the edited address to the payment gateway.

Better

9643021 - Changing Default Currency for PayPal Is Difficult

Prior to this release, the default currency code for the PayPal payment method was hardcoded to USD (U.S. Dollars); now it defaults to what is set in the site settings, but still needs to configured appropriately in PayPal.

Fixed

9652078 - Paypal Returns Too Many Characters for Bill-to-State

Paypal was returning the full state name during checkout, which was causing errors during the checkout process (especially Guest Checkout.)

Fixed

9654408 - Order Import Creates Wrong G/L Account Format in Cicmpy Table

This is a Macola ES only issue. When a new customer was created in cicmpy during an order import, the Centralization Account field was formatted incorrectly. This is a 9 digit field with leading spaces, but the import was putting those spaces at the end of the field.

Fixed

9656181 - Authorize.Net Doesn't Handle Negative Quantities

When Authorizing (or Capturing) a Credit Card using a Saved card, if you changed the "Exp Month" or the "Exp Year," the system threw an error when you tried to authorize or capture, forcing you to manually re-enter the Credit Card number which defeated the purpose of using saved data.

Fixed

8489960 - Web Manager - Save & View Not Working

While this particular issue was due to bad data, specifically when a filename being used on the document layout did not exist, the site was behaving badly.

Fixed

8674405 - Problem Adding and Loading Contact Name from cicntp Table

When creating a new customer, the contact name did not get saved in the cicntp table for the newly created table entry. Related, when a customer went to Account > Update Billing Information, the "Contact Name" text box did not get loaded with the contact's name from the cicntp table and if you "saved" the page without reloading the contact name, the name got deleted in the cicntp table.

Better

8689997 - Saved Carts Loading Slowly

Having very large saved carts of 100 items or more was causing extremely long loading times. We've streamlined that somewhat.

Fixed

This is relevant only if you have the Birddog config file set to use MVC for Customer Service. With this, we've added the Logistics functionality to that page.

Better

8344510 - Item Search needs a weighting mechanism for Item No, Description, and other fields

Added Site Search tab on Site Settings which allows you to determine the weighting options for different attributes of an item. This will give you more control over what order items are displayed in site search.

Better

8979584 - Integrators and Imports Licenses Not Correct

In Enterprise for Windows, several of the imports were in the wrong spot and needed to be relocated.

Better

8994863 - Move BRAIN setup links to System Management

All of these features were relocated to System Management since setup is presumed to be done there.

New

9089980 - Move Imports to the Web and Update to Latest Standards

This enchancement allows you to set shipping pricing exceptions when an order is going to a specific zip code.

Better

9190542 - Move Billing Address Under Shipping Address and Default Open

Prior to this build, the Billing Address section on single-page checkout was under the payment methods and defaulted to being presumed to be the same as the shipping address. We shifted it up to directly under Shipping and it is now open by default, though a single button click can close it.

Better

9196778 - Update Cart and Order Rules Calculation

This was a performance optimization due to the cart recalculating pricing and order rules on every page hit. We've revised how this works to eliminate unnecessary load time.

Better

9334761 - Clarify Wording on Customer's Order History Page

On the Order History page, there was text on the page that read, "Orders Returned." We have changed it to "Orders Found" because that's more accurate.

Added missing page header.

Better

9617501 - Add Better Reporting to Key Fixer

Improved the reporting, fixed handling of certain ES tables, and added the ability to generate a sample CSV file.

9.8.5

Update Notes

6849403 - Implement Credit Card Aliases for Authorize.Net -
Customer Information Manager(CIM) has to be turned on inside Authorize.Net for this to function correctly. This can be done before starting the update since turning it on will not affect the older software. Basically, go turn it on now. You can view how to accomplish this by watching this video. If this is the first time you have used Authorize.net, nothing else needs to be done, but if you have taken orders using BirdDog before, then you will need to run the Credit Cards: Convert Encrypted Credit Cards To Profiles job after all software is running 9.8.5. This process can be started any time after the update is complete. If you test with a staging site against production data do not process any credit card transactions (including authorizations) against production data while production sites are running versions earlier than 9.8.5. NOTE: If running a synced site, this process must be run on both the local and hosted side.
7428068 - Implement 3DSI Payment Gateway -
All valid IPs that are intended to utilize this gateway first need to be whitelisted by 3DSI. Additionally, items must also have UNSPC codes assigned to them; these codes are created in system management and added to items on the item form. A default UNSPSC code should be established (see 8843082 below) and then any items that do not match this default can be given an appropriate code.
8843082 - Added support for United Nations Standard Products and Services Code® (UNSPSC®) -
A default UNSPSC code should be established. See https://www.unspsc.org/ for information on the classification system. First, the code must be created - this is accomplished in System Management | Inventory | United Nations Standard Products and Services Code. Once created, navigate to System Managment | Global Settings and plug that code into the UNSPSC field on the Inventory tab.
8963397 - Add Sync Locations and enhance sync reliability
Upgrading sync customers need to navigate to System Management | System | Sync Locations and ensure the remote site has the Next numbers set correctly. This allows you to set the next order number, the next customer number, the next work order number and the next OE cash number for remote sites (in this context, they are usually the "live" site.)

Bug Fixes: Version 9.8.5.247 - Released 13 March 2017

This build has the following bug fixes implemented:

Fixed

6184426 - Order Dates Getting Changed When Synced Down

Using IE (or Microsoft Edge), when the page posted back with the search results, it re-posted and deleted the site results before showing only the store results.

Better

Better

9062186 - Web Site Performance Improvements

Development discovered that many web categories used by the site were not being cached.

Better

9110292 - Sync Fixes

Coding adjustments to improve sync performance, specifically entities and fields were not syncing correctly, we improved the creation of audit tables, resolved an issue with webcategory long and medium descriptions causing a sync fail, and fixed an issue with the sync failing if an order had been deleted on one end but not the other.

Fixed

9265219 - State Does Not Update in Carts Table when Country is Changed in Checkout

During Checkout, if the Ship-to or Bill-to Country was changed, the State in the Carts table did not change to the default State listed in the text box, requring a change of the state to another one and then back to the first one on the list if that was the desired selection. When the page posted back after changing the Country, it changed the state in the text box but it didn't update the carts table properly.

Fixed

Fixed

9298085 - Payment Getting Doubled on Credit Card Order

When the Credit Card Transaction Type was set to "Authorize Capture" (in Site Settings Payment Methods), the "Payment" amount in Customer Service Order View was getting doubled which then shows the order as being overpaid. The amount captured by the CC provider was correct, however.

Fixed

9300542 - Import Cash Receipts Reading Label Line of CSV

Using the Import Cash Receipts feature in our Enterprise for Windows software, the first line of the CSV (which are the labels for the subsequent columns) was being read instead of ignored like it should be.

Fixed

9301364 - Get Error Trying to Upload an Image

When attempting to upload an image, we were seeing an "unable to connect to backend" error.

Fixed

9301756 - Order Placed with No City or Zip Code

The system was allowing orders to be placed without a city or postal code. It was displaying the 'this is required information' message, but was still placing the order instead of forcing a customer to fix the data.

Fixed

9321829 - Page Hit Not Recording Query String Correctly

Under-the-hood coding fix.

Fixed

9325277 - On Account Must Be Selected Even If Only Option

The "On Account" button had to be clicked on during Ecommerce checkout even if it was the only payment terms option; if it was not clicked, the page errored out as if you were using a credit card and did not populate any of the CC data.

Fixed

9327166 - Paging Broke Using Pretty URL's

When you had a categories page with enough sub-category pages to cause paging, the site threw a "Page Not Found" error when you tried to go to one of those pages.

Fixed

9332468 - Order Rules Inverted Item Trigger Always Returns False Result

The Order Rules Inverted Item Trigger always gave a "false" result, so the order rule was never applied. It worked OK if the "Inverted" box was not checked, but it doesn't work if it was checked. This was also the case with Inverted Product Category.

Fixed

9343347 - Changing Ship-to in Checkout Deletes Cart Ship-To State

When a saved ship-to address was selected on the checkout page, the on-page error, "Missing or Illegal Ship To State / Province Code" appeared because the state was being deleted behind the scenes. Thus, when freight attempted to rate, it was looking at any empty field and errored out.

Fixed

9348832 - EntWin - Get Error Loading Credit Card Merchant Account

When a Merchant Account was selected to edit, the code was using incorrect values to load the Gateway. This was causing Enterprise for Windows to crash in some cases.

Fixed

9353379 - Get Record Lock Error When Checking Out

When checking out, an error message appeared on the checkout page. The problem is when you add the item to the cart, it was putting a record lock on the Item/Location.

Fixed

9355982 - EntWin ES - Credit Cards Allowed to Capture Multiple Times

This process was allowing credits cards to be captured multiple times with ES databases (Progression worked fine.) Now, if already captured, you get a notification advising you that the order already has a payment, which already happens with Progression databases.

Fixed

9356651 - Getting Page Not Found Error if ? in URL Page Code

If the Page Code for a categories page has a question mark (?) in it, you received the "Page Not Found" error when you tried to go to the page. We resolved this by making ? illegal in the page code.

Better

9385258 - Order Edit Very Slow

In Customer Service, clicking on Edit Order was attaching some extra code for the elements on the page, which drastically slowed down the page, especially for orders with multiple line items.

Fixed

9388656 - Cannot Place Order if Total Equals $0.00

This was exclusive to Ecommerce. If the total equalled zero, whether due to the item not having an actual price or a customer receiving a 100% discount, the order simply would not generate.

Fixed

9388913 - Purchase Order Fail in ES Databases

This was exclusive to Maola ES databases as it worked fine with the BirdDog engine or the Macola Progression databases. Clicking on an existing Purchase Order caused the page to error out.

Better

9389551 - Credit Card Transactions Authorized Prior to Conversion Fail to Capture

This happened only in a specific scenario where an existing credit card was authorized prior to the implementation of the new tokenization encryption first released in 9.8.5.89 and then attempted capture following the upgrade.

Better

9397254 - Trigger Audit Code Broken

This was exclusive to Macola ES databases that were also syncing environments. Under-the-hood enhancements were made to fix certain code.

Fixed

9406103 - Item Page Link URL's Stripped Out in Item Page Editor

Hyperlinks on Item Pages were being stripped out automatically by the Item page editor.

Fixed

9409675 - Credit Card Number Not Saving in Enterprise for Windows

This was exclusive to Macola ES databases as it worked fine with the BirdDog engine or Macola Progression databases. When Authorizing or Capturing a credit card using Enterprise for Windows and the Save box was checked, the system was not saving the encrypted card number.

Better

9426990 - Search Results Page Not Updating Correctly

In specific scenarios, the search page was not correct. If a customer was searching for an item that required them to be logged in to view the price, for example, and logged in after searching for the item, the price would not show up correctly unless the page was manually refreshed, the item was searched for a second time or if they navigated directly to the item page.

Bug Fixes: Version 9.8.5.89 - Released 13 December 2016

This build has the following bug fixes implemented:

All bug fixes from 9.8.4.109 have been integrated into this build.

Fixed

6293691 - Google product feed not handing web price (rounding error)

There was an inconsistency between how we handled rounding on prices between the Item display on the web and what was pushed up in the Google Product Feed which in rare cases caused a penny difference. This caused those items to fail in the product upload because Google detected a price difference.

Fixed

6763692 - "Item is restricted" message popping up inappropriately

When proceeding from the cart, the 'item is restricted' appeared before continuing to the checkout page. This was causing some confusion so we streamlined the code.

Fixed

6955836 - OnTrac Tracking URL Change

There was a change to the OnTrac Web API. We have updated our XML structure for shipment tracking.

Fixed

7461366 - Search Results in MS Edge Are Totally Broken

Fixed

7501568 - Viewing AutoCreated Contact Causing Page Error

When you searched for or tried to edit a Contact that is type 5 (AutoCreated), the page returned an error.

Fixed

7581493 - On Account Should be Selected if it is the Only Option

If "On Account" is enabled and "Credit Card" is not, the "On Account" box on the checkout page did not come up as being selected even though it's the only option.

Fixed

7604861 - Ecommerce User Able to Reach the Select Customer Screen Without Having Customer Number Assigned

In specific scenarios, a newly created Ecommerce account was skipping past the customer number assignment step, which was causing trouble.

Fixed

7926172 - Work Order Generated By Ecommerce values incorrect

Production orders automatically created by the website according to specific item settings were writing certain information to the database incorrectly.

Fixed

7964813 - Changing the Global AR Settings Caused Error

Changing this setting in Global Settings was resulting in an error, which meant when orders were written to Macola, the country code was not necessarily being written correctly.

Fixed

7999392 - Purchase Order not writing database values correctly

Similiar to above, some information was not being written to the database correctly (mostly some general ledger account numbers not being formatted correctly.) We conducted a systemic top-to-bottom, table by table review to resolve this.

Fixed

8099399 - Production Order Setup table Isn't Being Synced

Data required by the work order system was not being fully synced properly.

Fixed

8234497 - "Credit Card Is Required" Msg Converting Quote to Order

When a quote was converted to an order with a terms code "credit card", a pop-up asking for the CC info appears. If a new CC number was entered, a message stating, "Credit Card Is Required" appeared and the process stalled.

Fixed

8306308 - Multi Line Orders Throw Error Trying to Sync Down

In certain instances, an order that has more than one line item was experiencing trouble syncing down from remote to local.

Better

8322308 - Revised Wording for Missing Primary Key Error

We have updated our logging to better explain this error should it occur.

Fixed

8629356 - Issues with Customer Service Writing to Database

Similar to 7926172 and 7999392 above, we were seeing inconsistencies with how our software wrote to the database, principally with regards to how Macola sometimes returned NULL when we did not. We conducted a systemic top-to-bottom, table by table review to resolve this.

Fixed

8688496 - Upload Catalog sync job throwing error

In very specific scenarios, an error was being thrown when attempting to manually run the Upload Catalog sync job as opposed to letting Job Master handle it.

Fixed

8887819 - ebizCharge Guest Checkout Not Working Properly

Using the ebizCharge payment gateway and Guest Checkout, the Bill-to & Ship-to info was not getting sent to ebizCharge. All Guest Checkout orders stated "GUEST" for customer name and there was no address info.

Fixed

9161924 - Cannot redirect after HTTP headers have been sent

This bug showed up in certain scenarios where the web site was changing from one page to another.

New Features

This branch has the following features implemented:

New

6849403 - Implement Credit Card Aliases for Authorize.Net

Major update to the Authorize.Net Credit Card Gateway switching from credit card encryption to credit card aliases using Authorize.Net's Customer Information Manager(CIM). Prior to this update, when using Authorize.Net the credit card number would be encrypted in the database and on the wire. While this is PCI compliant there is still a risk involved if a company is compromised by an attacker where they have access to both the database (where the encrypted credit cards are stored) and the software (where the encryption algorithim is stored). In this scenario it is theoretically possible for an attacker to decompile the software to reverse engineer the encryption algorithim and then decrypt the credit card data. While we have spent years making even this scenario as difficult as possible, there is no way to remove the theoretical possibility. With this enhancement we no longer encrypt the credit card. Instead, when a customer enters a credit card number we immediately send it to Authorize.Net's CIM and request an alias without ever storing it in the database. Now, only Authorize.Net knows the real credit card number and it is impossible to reverse engineer the alias and retrieve the actual credit card number. Please see the update notes for important steps needed to fully implement this enhancement.

New

7428068 - Implement 3DSI Payment Gateway

With this build, we fully support the 3DSI gateway. Please see the update notes for important steps needed to fully implement this enhancement.

New

7693805 - Sync BDPageHits

Enable sync process for BDPageHits table. Page Hits is the table that stores all activity across the web site. We are working on a major enhancement to Ecommerce marketing and activity tracking. Syncing Page Hits was a required step for our synced customers to be able to utilize this upcoming enhancement.

Better

7921103 - Show all Production Orders on Item Form

Previously, when logged in as admin, only open production orders were shown on the item form. Now, completed work orders are also shown as well as including a hyperlink to that order. We have also renamed that label from Open Production to Production Orders.

Better

7921149 - Add Last Receipt Date to Purchase Order Lines on Item Form

Added Last Receipt Date to the end of the Purchase Order Line column list on item form as well as updated purchase order title from Open Purchases to Purchase Orders since we're showing both open and closed ones.

New

7921256 - Add Always Include and Always Exclude support to Google Product Feed

Renamed Meta Tags tab on Item Edit to Search Engine. Added a Google Product Feed Heading above Meta Tags. Added a Radio Button control for the product feed settings.

New

New

8587863 - Add Documentation Countries/Provinces

On-page documentation added.

New

8603442 - Add ability to capture posted invoices to web-based Billing Console

This feature has been available in Enterprise for Windows for sometime.This is used for when a credit card order is completely invoiced before the credit card is Captured and you need to capture the paid amount against an invoice. When utilized, the remaining amount on the invoice is captured using a credit card transaction on the original order and apply the money to an A/R deposit.

New

UNSPSC is a product classification system used by Ecommerce, Procurement (typically using cXML), and Credit Card systems. See https://www.unspsc.org/ for information on the classification system. This enhancement adds a default UNSPSC code in System Management | Global Settings | Inventory, the ability to add and maintain UNSPSC codes specific to your industry in System Management | Inventory | United Nations Standard Products and Services Code, and the ability to set an item to a code other than the default in Item Edit. Please see the update notes for important steps needed to fully implement this enhancement.

Better

8963397 - Add Sync Locations and enhance sync reliability

The databases that the system syncs to and the values used for next values (next customer number, order number, production order, etc.) can now be maintained from the primary database. This enhancement included many updates to the sync process. Please see the update notes for important steps needed to fully implement this enhancement.

9.8.4

Bug Fixes: Version 9.8.4.109 - Released 8 December 2016

This build has the following bug fixes implemented:

All bug fixes from 9.8.3.175 have been integrated into this build.

Better

7604607 - Default Padding Incorrect on Email Query Job

Emails generated from this job were difficult to read as there was inadequate spacing between the columns.

Bug Fixes: Version 9.8.4.94 - Released 9 November 2016

This build has the following bug fixes implemented:

All bug fixes from 9.8.3.164 have been integrated into this build.

Better

7415492 - Need Invalid Coupon Message

If you enter an invalid coupon code on the cart page or checkout page, there was no indication given that you entered an invalid coupon. Now it alerts the user to the fact that it is invalid.

Fixed

7431414 - Use Pretty URL by Default

In version 9.8.3 and later we added support for handling in bound requests to a "pretty URL". For example, if you had a web category with a code of About_Us the normal URL would be /Categories.aspx?id=About_Us. The system would handle an in bound request to /About_Us, however it did not consider it the default or proper URL and, if redirect on template change was enabled, it would swap the url back to /Categories.aspx?id=About_Us. This update makes the /About_Us URL the default so the site will no longer switch to /Categories.aspx?id=About_Us.

Fixed

8988472 - Object Reference Error When Attempting Customer Service Order

This was only happening in very specific scenarios, but has been resolved.

Bug Fixes: Version 9.8.4.76 - Released 4 October 2016

This build has the following bug fixes implemented:

All bug fixes from 9.8.2.121 have been integrated into this build.

Fixed

7361976 - Price Code Quantity Discounts Not Applied in Order Edit

When you added items or edited quantities of an existing order, the system was not properly applying any price code quantity discounts.

Fixed

7573077 - Freight Switched From Pre-Paid to blank When Converting Quote to Order

This was only happening during the conversion from quote to order process. Now, the system once again preserves existing freight pay method following conversion.

Fixed

7640520 - Site Message Should Return 500

When a page threw a site error, it originally did not return an error on the http protocol which was problematic for SEO reasons. If, for example, Google went to your item page and got the error, it could potentially log your site as the error page. Now, with the error page being noted as 500, it effectively tells the web browser 'the server had an issue that we are resolving; please return later.'

Fixed

7653205 - Missing / Bad License # Error - Request is not available in this context

This error was only being seen when a license was missing required information (serial number, for example) but was not clear as to what exactly went wrong which required research. We have changed this to be more clear and identity the problem from the get-go.

Fixed

7700446 - Patient Misspelled on Import Contacts page

Simple typo resolved.

Fixed

7709744 - Tooltip on Incident Form is Wrong

Simple typo resolved.

Better

7727844 - Ecommerce Bill To Page Requires Adjustment

Default bill to page had inadequate spacing between a pair of buttons, thus making the entire page look wrong.

Fixed

7821106 - Order Entry Failed If No Valid Freight Pay Code

While the system expects at least one freight pay code to be set in Site Settings, the system will no longer error out should this not be the case.

Better

8050389 - Label Errors on Back Order Notifications Page

Simple typo resolved.

Better

8117765 - Tooltip: Write Contact Info to Order Header Comments is Unclear

This particular tooltip was causing a great deal of grief and heartburn due to peculiar wording that could easily be read in multiple but contradictory ways. Revised the wording for clarity.

Fixed

8158471 - StayAlive.aspx Needs a Title

At certain logging levels, this error was being written to the logging table a lot.

Fixed

8382605 - Logged User is Incorrect

The user name being written to the logging table was obviously incorrect.

Better

8637278 - Ecommerce label on Functionality tab in Site Settings is Wrong

Simple typo resolved.

Better

8860717 - Popup Label Error on Thank You page

Simple typo resolved.

Fixed

8882325 - Some Data Untraceable by Google Analytics

Some information about ordered items was no longer being properly recognized by Analytics. This build resolves that issue.

Fixed

8917787 - Site Crash When Canceling Out of Item Edit

This was only happening with items that had Bills of Material and only happened in certain, specific scenarios.

New Features

This branch has the following features implemented:

New

3676138 - Write Off Transaction Codes and GL Codes

This enhancement allows inventory write-off; you do not need to manually enter the GL accounts, can set certain GL accounts for the particular purpose of transactions and can avoid requiring a human to manually enter the account numbers.

New

5582517 - Implement CyberSource Payment Gateway

As of this build, the CyberSource Gateway is fully implemented. If running Macola Progression, Currency Manager must be turned on as this gateway requires a currency code; Macola ES requires currency codes in default so nothing special needs to be done with it to use CyberSource.

New

5920147 - Integration of Global Payments ICT250 Pin Pad with BirdDog Cash

As of this build, our point-of-sale software works with this device and allows it to handle credit card transactions using the newer chip technology now being required by modern cards. This particular device handles both the magnetic strip and chipped cards.

New

7086840 - Add Fields to Locations

The Location page(s) have been converted to MVC (model-view-controller) and field support has been implemented.

New

7451135 - Order Rule: Set Order Line Location Result

With this new order rule result, you can have the system automatically change an order line location according to the criteria you set up. This is useful for clearly out backstock - for example, if you wish certain product categories to only pull items from a specific location or warehouse, that is easily set up. Alternately, if you wish certain customer types such as those who are Members or Vendors to pull from a different location than normal Retail customers, that too is easily handled by this new result.

New

7581185 - Create System to Receive Form Post and Write to Entity

We have integrated support for this feature which allows a completely custom html form to write data to our entity system, which we can later extract that information from via various means, including emails to the appropriate parties.

New

7641662 - Update Field Conversion to Log Even When Site is in Logging Level 1

While running the field conversion process (originally appearing in 9.8.0.14) while having the website set to logging level 1, no results were appearing once the conversion was complete so you could not identify any potential errors.

Better

7663444 - Add Due Date to Invoice View

We rearranged a few minor pieces on the invoice form, as well as adding the due date to the page.

New

7866317 - Order Rule: Create Set Customer Type Result

With this new order rule result, you can have the system automatically change a customer's type according to the criteria setup. For example, if you have the option for customers to purchase memberships that provide better pricing, this rule allows the system to change them to that customer type upon purchase.

Better

7894412 - Add Documentation Ecommerce Tab of Site Settings

On-page documentation added.

Better

7953963 - Licensing Errors Are Confusing

We revised the results for licensing errors to make them easier to comprehend and much easier to troubleshoot.

Better

7997986 - Add Ability to Add Columns from Query

Previous versions of the software showed a list of columns from the query, but they were only used to choose the unique column; now, you can add available columns via a convenient button.

Better

8231776 - Author By / Date Should Display If Set

In older versions of the software, you were required to use specific category layouts if you wanted the Authored By and Authored Date options to show up. Now, all category layout pages will show this if it is set on the page.

Better

8276031 - Want Better Display of Credit Card / On Account Option on Checkout Page

The options of Credit Card or On Account were difficult for customers to decipher on the Checkout page. We revised to make it more immediately apparent which option was selected.

New

8276169 - Log Original Visitor IP from CloudFlare

Added support for writing the client's IP address into Page Hits when using the Cloud Fare CDN by reading the CF-Connecting-IP http header.

Better

8449930 - Order Edit Changes

We altered how the order dates default within the system. Unless specifically changed, the Promise and Required Ship Dates both default to Requested Ship Date. We also significantly expanded the size of the order line window in Order Edit to facilitate larger orders with multiple items.

Better

8477115 - Add Due Date to Account Detail

When visiting Account Detail in Customer Service, all orders now show when payment is due.

Better

8490065 - Add More Columns to Merge Purge Display

We added email address, phone number and customer number to the merge/purge display to better identify which contacts were valid and which needs to be purged.

Better

8507830 - Add Documentation Current IP Address on Security Tab in Site Settings

On-page documentation added.

Better

8552967 - Allow Customer Service to Edit Orders on Credit Hold

Previously, on the order form in customer service, users with the customer service role could only edit the order if it had a status of booked. This was originally put in place to protect Picked, Selected, and Invoiced orders from being edited (you have to have the billiing role to edit an order in these statuses). However, this logic also prevented CSRs from editing orders on credit hold, which kept them from fixing orders that customers have placed that are over their credit limit by removing items or changing quantities. We have altered the way the system things to allow such a scenario.

This build has the following bug fixes implemented:

Better

6427947 - Add-Ship To/Bill To Address Order Rules Triggers

Some coding issues were applied to this trigger, which was originally released with 9.8.3.88.

Fixed

7704594 - Weekly Frequency Job Master Setting Ignoring Time to Execute

When a job was set to run on a weekly schedule, the specified time that job was meant to run was being ignored. The job was running, only not when it was supposed to.

Fixed

7946734 - Force Login Setting Prevents Password Reset

If Site Settings | Main Settings | Force Login is checked, the customer was unable to reset their password because they were required to log in (which they can't because they forgot their password).

Fixed

7980712 - Item Page Images Broke if Quotation Mark in Short Description

If there was a quotation mark (double quote) in the Item's Short Description, the medium & large images would not display on the itemform page.

Fixed

8150903 - Invoice Form Returning Recover Not Found Error

Fixed server error on Invoice page in certain scenarios.

Better

8461618 - Non-Backorderable Items Providing No Notification when Adding to Order

When you add a non-backorderable item to an order (or quote) and you entered a "Qty Ordered" that's greater than the amount available, the amount entered in the "Qty Ordered" box gets reduced to the qty available but was providing no explanation as to why.

Fixed

8538157 - Insert Image Browse Not Working (Old, Pre-MVC Web Editor)

THis fixes an issue caused by a previous security fix for cross-site scripting that broke the ability to browse for images.

Fixed

8608282 - Edit PO Line Doesn't Restore Vendor Item No

When you edited a Purchase Order line item, the "Vendor Item No:" did not populate in the pop-up which resulted in you having to manually re-enter the number or losing it when you saved.

Fixed

8632099 - Tax Not Calculating Correctly if Country or State Missing in Customer Table

If a customer's Country or State was blank in the customer table, their sales tax rate changed to an incorrect setting when an item was added to the cart. If the Country was missing, it looked to the Countries/Provinces default but if the State was missing, Customer Defaults setting in Site Settings was used.

Fixed

8635743 - Saving Guest Customer Info After Ordering Not Working Correctly

There were several problems when you tried to save and create a new user/customer after using the Guest Checkout. When checking out using Guest Customer, you get the pop-up asking if you want to save the info and create a new user/customer. After entering your password and clicking "Save", nothing happened. There was no spinner and the pop-up didn't go away. A new user was created in appropriate table but no actual customer was created. The order had the Guest customer number assigned instead of a new customer number. Finally, the email address was not written into the proper table.

Fixed

8819593 - Checkout Page Trying to Use Credit Card Even Though 'On Account' Selected

Despite selecting the 'On Account' option on the checkout page, the system was attempting to process a credit card and since no such data was provided, it failed and would not generate a successful order.

Better

8837408 - MS Edge: Add Special Item Order No on Order Entry Not in Correct Location

On Order Entry, this image is underneath the Item No label instead of to the right of the Add button. This is not the case for Chrome or Firefox or even Internet Explorer. Only Edge.

Fixed

8851653 - Order Rule Result "Place on Hold" Not Working

The Order Rule Result "Place On Hold" was not writing the Criteria (reason for On Hold) correctly.

Fixed

8851932 - URLs With "/" in Code Throw 404 Error

URLs with a "/" (slash) in the code throw the following error: 404 - File or directory not found.

Coding changes led to an issue where certain information about ordered items was no longer accessible by Google.

Fixed

9025317 - Macola delivery addresses getting improperly reset

Macola ES and EM 10 only. In certain scenarios, an organization's addresses were being overwritten with the visit addresses' data, even though they were marked not to.

Bug Fixes: Version 9.8.3.138 - Release 23 September 2016

This build has the following bug fixes implemented:

All bug fixes from 9.8.2.121 have been integrated into this build.

New

5830795 - Functionality: Add Item to Web Page From the Item

Prior to this enhancement, it was easy to add ten items to a page. However, if you wanted to add a single item to ten pages, you had to visit each page individually. Now, you can go directly to the item and easily add it to those ten pages. This was a feature initially released with 9.8.3 but was not correctly added to the notes. The config file must be edited to activate MVC_Inventory for this to function correctly.

New

6425320 - Functionality: Add Ability to Put Web Page in Multiple Places

Fixed

6536074 - Editting a PO Line Doesn't Restore Vendor Item Number

Editing an existing line item would clear out the vendor item number and overwrite the order with the empty information. Now, it retains what was input previously.

Better

7906244 - 9.8 Web Editor Missing Browse Feature for Image Paths

The new Web Editor in 9.8 was missing the "Browse" feature for image paths when trying to add images to a web page. The "Browse" feature was also missing from the "Insert Link" URL box.

Fixed

7974033 - Billing Same As Shipping Error

Required fields that were hidden by the system were still being validated, and being empty, were failing to validate. For example, if changing the ship to address to a country that doesn't have state/zip, in which case the normally-required state/zip fields are hidden, and attempting to place an order, this error would appear.

Fixed

8340521 - Missing Extra Campaign Data on Orders

Campaign info and extra campaign info was missing on the order when an order is placed in Customer Service Order Entry. Editing the order and adding it there was required for this functionality to be correct.

Fixed

8360162 - MVC Import Index page throws javascript errors for missing jQuery

The new web-based import was experiencing coding errors preventing it from being usuable. This has been resolved.

Fixed

8430328 - Remove Duplicate PO check on Ecommerce

Before this build, a customer (any customer) could only use a Purchase Order number once which meant attempts to use a duplicate PO number would not successfully place an order. However, there are certain situations where this is legal, so we adjusted our coding to allow.

Fixed

8459519 - Issues w/ Quotes getting converted to Orders

Converting a quote to an order in customer service did not remove the quote, providing the order terms were credit card.

Fixed

8460527 - Posting not handling rounding correctly

The enhancement to our order posting process that allows for inventory asset credits based upon the components of non stocked items created a handful of scenarios where a rounding issue occured. This release corrects those issues.

Fixed

8482187 - Vendor Item Number not populating on purchase order

When creating a Purchase Order in our system for an Item that has a Vendor Item Number assigned to it, that Vendor Item Number was not populating correctly until this build.

Fixed

8512076 - Orders Using PayPal Not Getting Money If Ship Via Changed

When placing an order using PayPal, if you changed the Shipping Method after being authorized by PP, the order was generated in our system but PayPal refused the transaction.

Fixed

8581570 - Restrict Ship Via Codes Rule is Filtering List but Should Override Instead

Prior to this build, the Restrict Ship Via Codes order rule was not overriding what was set in site settings and therefore, required all valid ship vias to be setup there. Now, if such a rule exists and the conditions are met, what is setup in the order rule overrides site settings.

Better

8637368 - Google Analytics is Killing Page Load Times

This was causing performance issues on pages with a large number of items.

Better

8646355 - Close Drawer Button on Wrong Tab in System Menu on BirdDog Cash

The Close Drawer button was originally just on the Admin tab which was causing confusion for the Count Down process. We relocated it to resolve this confusion.

Fixed

8693873 - Reset Password Link Not Working

The link provided in the Reset Password email was not correct. It was doubling the web site name in the URL.

Fixed

8694044 - Email Template Editor Deleting Some HTML Attributes

The email template editor was deleting some html attributes when the template was saved. (i.e. bgcolor, cellspacing, cellpadding.) This resulted in the template not functioning as intended.

Better

8731032 - Receiving 404 Error When Visiting Page Without Proper Role

Was receiving an ugly 404 error when attempting to go directly to a site you do not have access to (e.g., logged out and page does not have Anonymous role.) Now, you are automatically redirected to the Login page.

Fixed

8773378 - Edit Item Doesn't Work for Items With '/' in Item Name

In Warehouse Management | Items, if you clicked on the "Edit" icon for an item with a "/" in the name, the page errored out to "404 - File or directory not found."

Fixed

8850400 - Comma in Ship-To City Causes Freght to Equal Zero

If the Ship-To City contains a comma, then freight was being set to 0.00 when the cart convert to an order. It showed as correct in the carts table but incorrect in the order header table in Macola. In certain syncing environments, it was also causing a strange conflict that would not allow the order to be synced down properly.

Fixed

8859322 - Receipt Printer Setup on BirdDog Cash Keeps Blanking Out

Each time Cash was run, the settings for the Receipt Printer was being dumped, thus requiring it to be setup again. Now, it saves this information properly.

Better

8813858 - Web Editor Corrupting Hyperlinks

When you "Saved" a page being editing that already had hyperlinks, the website portion of the URL was stripped from the hyperlink and the link no longer works. The hyperlink was saved correctly when added and saved; it was only when a page where they already existed was edited that they get corrupted.

Fixed

8837807 - Roles Not Showing in Web Editor when You "Add Page"

When viewing a Categories page and "Add Page" is clicked, there were no Roles showing in the Roles tab on the web editor. Once you saved the new page and go back into it, the Roles did appear, but this was an unnecessary extra step.

Bug Fixes: Version 9.8.3.88 - Release 1 July 2016

This build has the following bug fixes implemented:

All bug fixes from 9.8.2.105 have been integrated into this build.

Fixed

6063436 - Unavailable Kit Components Not Being Allocated Correctly

In Ecommerce, when you placed an order for a Kit item that had an unavailable component, the Kit item was going on back order but the unavailable component itself was not being put on B/O.

Fixed

6668592 - Item Form Quantity/Cost Grid Alignment Off

On the Customer Service Item View, in the Quantity/Cost display grid, if there was no Buyer/Planner, the rest of the columns were shifted to the left which caused confusion when trying to read it.

Better

6899547 - Document Outgoing Communications Tab in Customer Service Customer Edit

On-page documentation added for this.

Fixed

6990224 - System Menu Sometimes Has Blank Spaces

Some of the menu items left blank spaces when you didn't have the license or don't have appropriate permissions to view them.

Fixed

6992737 - Need Doc for Shipment Confirmation Email Set Up

On-page documentation adjustments and clarifications.

Fixed

7079508 - Kit Cost Not Correct for BirdDog Orders

The cost for kit components was not rolling up correctly to the kit item when orders were placed using Birddog which was causing the G/L ledger to be incorrect.

Fixed

7127345 - FedEx Not Returning Error

When an item with dimensions exceeded what FedEx will handle, rather than returning an error message for this, FedEx simply doesn't rate the service so we've added a new freight error in our system to handle this scenario: 21109 - One or more packages on the shipment exceeds maximum length or length + girth for this shipping method.

Better

7248693 - Display All Item Fields on Item Form

When logged in as an admin or warehouse manager, you had to edit an item in order to see any populated fields for this item. We've updated the Customer Service Item View to show those fields without requiring you to go to the edit page. If you have custom pages on your website, they will need to be updated as this implementation is not automatic.

Fixed

7304977 - Analyze Misspelled in BRAIN

Typographical error that was corrected.

Better

7454498 - Need to Change Columns on Account Detail Page

On the Customer Account Detail page, the "Document Number" & Apply To" columns were overlapping. We removed the "Sub Total" & Tax" columns to make more room and changed the "Amount" column name to "Total".

Fixed

7459433 - Saved Carts Displays Calculated Cart Total Instead of SubTotalByOrdered.

Saved Carts were displaying Total, which includes Sales Tax and Freight which may or may not be correct. Changed to Sub Total, so it is just the items in the Cart.

Fixed

7466617 - Job Master Config Logging Level Not Applying

Job Master was not honoring the logging level so we were seeing logging level 4 and 5 even though it was set at 3.

Fixed

7477531 - Order Result Get Item Only Adds Item When Condition Changes

Coding fix to resolve some inconsistencies when an Order Rule result actually triggered. For example, if a customer's default address already satifies an order rule trigger and adds an item, clearing the cart line sometimes would not add the item back again.

Fixed

7517475 - Reload Site Settings Should Reload Customer Service Order Entry Credit Card Accounts

Previously, if you view Customer Service | Order Entry and then add a new payment gateway in System Manager | payment gateways there is no way to get the new gateway to show in order entry without restarting the site. Now, Reload Site Settings will resolve that.

Better

7524582 - Update Time Slips Grid to Always Show Start Timer

Previously, the Time Slips page did not provide the option to Start a time slip on a task in the list until after it has been submitted and approved. This is backwards from the normal workflow of the screen so we adjusted it.

Better

7542336 - Rename Clear Cart Button in Order Entry to New Cart

The "Clear Cart" button in Customer Service | Order Entry needed to be renamed (or clarified with a Tool Tip) as this name is misleading since it actually leaves the current cart as is and refreshes the Order Entry page with an empty cart with a new Cart.

Fixed

7542485 - Entity Search Results don't display in Chrome

While working fine in other browsers (Firefox and Internet Explorer, for example), Chrome was not returning this data correctly

Better

7563214 - Update Cart Up-Sell Page

Minor change to this page. Replaced the X close button with a Continue button. If you have custom pages on your website, they will need to be updated as this implementation is not automatic.

Fixed

7686403 - View Details Permission Missing in Default & Import

Fixed

7778736 - Can't Copy Roles/Permissions in New Web Editor

In the old Web Editor, you could copy down Roles/Permissions to sub categories. This function was missing in the new Web Editor prior to this build.

New Features

This branch has the following features implemented:

New

5299622 - Implement World Pay Gateway

As of this build, the WorldPay Gateway is fully implemented and certified.

New

6427947 - Add-Ship To/Bill To Address Order Rules Triggers

These new triggers allow you to develop order rules that are highly specialized according to the address. Want every order going to a specific street to be put on hold? You can do that now.

New

6956869 - Enable Google Snippets for Item Form

Enabled Google Snippets with microdata (https://developers.google.com/structured-data/rich-snippets/products) on the Ecommerce Item View. This is part of the move towards the Symantec Web where web pages can describe what their content is making it easier for search engines to read and categorize the page. If you have custom pages on your website, they will need to be updated as this implementation is not automatic.

New

7015001 - Create Job to Select, Invoice, and Post Open Orders

This job will allow you to process all open orders in the system all the way through posting. Processing orders this way is significantly faster than doing so manually.

Better

7319425 - Add List of Ship Via Codes and Locations for Customer Service

We've redesigned how Ship Via Codes and Locations appear on the Enter Orders screen in Customer Service. Now you can set up which ones you want to appear in Site Settings.

Better

7332846 - Improve Defaults and Labels on PO Creation

Under-the-hood adjustments for the Purchase Orders screen that improves what default information appears based on your item information, as well as adding helpful tooltips explaining what information the system is actually looking for.

New

7424959 - Add Vendor and Partner Fields to Payment Gateway Account Setup

Certain payment gateway acounts like PayPal provide Vendor and Partner information. This build adds the capability to include this information where appropriate or necessary.

Better

7458934 - Update Handling of On-Hold Item / Locations

Coding enhancement that allows an order to be placed with an item even if the item's default location is on hold, providing at least one location is not on hold and can fulfill that order.

Better

7606579 - Update Order Triggers and Results to Support Criteria of Unlimited Length

Enhancement to the underlying Order Rule code to change the number of available characters for any criteria from 250 to unlimited. This is for those scenarios like an item list trigger that happens to have a lot of items.

Better

7617696 - Add Help to Site Settings

Site settings underwent a major update in terms of on-page help.

Better

7623617 - Enhance Age Customer Job to Allow O/E Cash to be Excluded From Calculation

Adjustment of the existing job that allows you to exclude O/E cash. Prior to this change, the Age Customer job took into account all A/R Open Items. In an environment where you receive down payments on Open O/E Orders, this could make your A/R Summary look odd as it would show customers with negative amounts.

Better

8153825 - Enhance Order Entry to update Freight when Ship To information changes

Previously, in Customer Service, freight did not change when ship to information changed until you refreshed the freight rates; now, this updated Freight rate is automatic.

New

8187151 - Display if freight has been frozen in customer service

Prior to this build, when freight is manually set, it gets frozen. However, there is no UI indicator that this has happened so we added a lock / unlock image button.

9.8.2

Bug Fixes: Version 9.8.2.121 - Released 28 July 2016

This build has the following bug fixes implemented:

All bug fixes from 9.8.1.271 have been integrated into this build.

Fixed

8230035 - Invoice.rpt Displays Incorrect Balance

This was an Enterprise for Windows issue. The Invoice report was loading the "Amount Received" as a negative amount and then subtracts it from the "Total" to get the "Balance Due". When you subtract a negative number, it's the same as adding therefore the Balance Due was showing as Total + Amount Received instead of Total - Amount Received. This requires an update to the default Invoice.rpt file.

This build has the following bug fix implemented:

Fixed

7662331 - Hyperlinks Being Stripped Out of Web Editor

When a page was being edited that previously had web links of any kind, the editor was stripping out these hyperlinks; similarly, a page that had hyperlinks added to them would appear correct until saved at which point the links were dropped. This only happened if a page was edited and saved, so existing pages with links that were not edited worked as intended.

Fixed

7829670 - Checkout Page Purchase Order Number Invalidation Problem

The Checkout page "Purchase Order #" text box validation process was misbehaving in a couple of different ways. First, no matter what you typed in it, it said it was an invalid PO number. Second, if you entered something and click "Place Order" before moving the cursor out of the text box, the order would place (with a message that the PO# was invalid). If you clicked out of the text box, the page would post back in a couple of seconds with the message that the PO# is invalid. Then, when you clicked "Place Order", nothing happened. You could not place the order until you cleared the PO# text box.

Microsoft Edge, the latest browser from the wizards who gave us Internet Explorer, was not correctly returning anything when one did a search using our software. Now it does.

Better

7994236 - Turn Off AutoComplete for CS/OE Credit Card Number

The autocomplete function (especially in IE) for credit card numbers in Customer Service | Order Entry was suggesting previously entered CC numbers that did not belong to the current active customer which was causing some minor confusion. Now that field is not treated like a regular form field and thus, autocomplete will not recognize it as such.

6353030 - Enhance Fields to Write to Support Table Instead of BDFields Table

This is mostly an under-the-hood alteration desiged to improve performance and make it much easier to query the system. Before this enhancement, all fields were written to a single field. Now, each major Entity created for the field system has its own BDEntity_Field_Name. This means that a page using fields does not have to sift through all fields to function properly. Because this enhancement is substantial, the Convert Old Field Data process job must be run and once this has been done, older versions of the software with fields cannot be used correctly.
