Bug Fixes

 

·         FIFO Log Miscalculating on Voided Invoices: There was an issue where the FIFO log was showing the wrong cost for a SKU brought in on multiple POs, sold in a quantity, and voided. This error has been corrected.

·         GoLive can’t proceed without Inventory GL Mapping: There was an issue affecting Onboarding clients where they were unable to go live if they didn’t map their GL to Inventory. This has been corrected. Mapping GL to Inventory is no longer a required task prior to GoLive.

·         Schedule Division Creation: There was an issue where clients were unable to go to Product Setup / Service / Schedule Divisions and create a new Schedule Division. This has been fixed.

·         Dollar Amounts on Docs for Orders Greater than $1000: There was an issue where orders greater than $1000 were not displaying the correct amount on documents (Sales Orders, Work Orders, Invoices). This has been corrected and the total amount will now display correctly across all documents in LOU.

·         Vendor Imports no Longer Functioning: This was due to a configuration issue on our end which has been corrected.

·         LOU Retail POS Slow Deposits: There was an issue where bad data in LOU POS was causing deposits to run very slowly. This has been corrected.

·         Vendors Created via SKU Profile > Vendors Tile Caused Broken Address Widget/Missing Fields: If you created a Vendor by going to an existing SKU’s profile and clicking the Vendor Tile and “Create”, it caused the Address widget to break and fields to disappear. This has been corrected.

·         Evosus Inc Merchant Account Appearing on All Client Databases: There was an issue where clients had the Evosus Inc Merchant Account visible on their databases. This has been removed.

·         LOU Retail POS System Administrator Error on Pay Button: There was an error where you would receive the Contact System Administrator error message when clicking the Pay button to complete a transaction while an import was still processing on LOU Web. This has been corrected.
