Release Date: July 6, 2022

We hold these truths to be self-evident that all companies need LOU.

  • SKU Profile – Change SKU Type Kits: On the SKU Profile / Change SKU Type page, the Kit SKU Type has been removed from the options to which you can update/change an individual SKU. Likewise, the Change SKU Type tile will not appear on Kit SKU Profiles.
     


Bug Fixes
  • Missing FIFO Transactions: We corrected an issue where a sale, return, then a transfer of a Serialized SKU resulted in incorrect FIFO log records.
  • Return Payments from POS (WEB): We corrected an issue that prevented a Return Payment on POS from correctly displaying as a Return Payment on the Invoice created in LOU Web.
  • Invoices with Duplicated IDs: We made improvements to the various mass processing events to reduce the possibility of creating duplicate document IDs.
  • Beginning Balance Invoice Counted as Pending Invoices: We corrected an issue with the Go-Live Process where the Beginning Balance process created Invoices counted as Pending, but unviewable.
  • Discount Not Showing on Printed/Electronically Sent Invoice: We corrected an issue so that the Discount correctly displays on printed and electronically sent invoices.
  • Unapplied Balance Shows on Payment Deposit: We corrected an issue where the unapplied balance was not showing on the top of the Deposit Payment screen.
  • Empty Document IDs/Prefixes Fields: We corrected an issue where the Setup pages for Document ID and Document Prefixes had several blank entries in certain companies.
  • Estimated Taxes on Invoice: We corrected an issue when the Tax Code did not have “Print the Tax Code in Detail” toggled on, the Invoice displayed “Estimated Taxes” instead of correctly displaying “Tax”.
  • Taxes Displayed Twice on Printed Document: We corrected an issue so that an itemized detail of each Tax Authority Total is displayed below the Subtotal.
  • FIFO Open & Negative Logs Missing Negative Transactions: We corrected an issue that prevented a transaction that causes the quantity to go negative OR uses an already negative quantity from appearing on the Open FIFO Log correctly.
  • Customer Portal Payments Missing Personnel/User ID: We corrected an issue where Payments made through the Customer Portal did not display the User on the Payment Details page. The User will now display as “Customer Portal Payment”.
