AP

Enhancement - Created Vendor Remittance report substitution ApCkStbj.rpt (replaces apckstub).  This report version includes the job number.

AP

Fixed key violation exception error when posting Subcontractor Payment Sheets.  The PRIMARY index needed to be set at the start of the posting process to avoid the duplicate key problem.  Temporary work around is to post the payment sheets from the program menu instead of inside the payment sheet input screen.

AP

Subcontractor Payment Sheets - Changed the formatting in the header to remove the comma in the phase number.

AR

Added the invoice date field to the sort records option of the Customer Statements so that the report prints in the same order as it did in Version 7.

Converted arrep01z.rpt to Enterprise (substitute for arrep01a.rpt).  This is a report substitution that was created to show the receipts column on the a/r aging schedule.

GL

Added new sort order to the financial statement design layout report to print the lines in order by line number.  New lines were showing up at the end of the report.

Modified the percent complete on the Job Cost Capsheet Report - Job & Phase Totals option.  New formula forces the percentage to be zero when there are NO estimates AND NO costs to date.

JC

Enhancement - Modified the Estimate Import feature to handle 200 columns of Excel spreadsheet data. Also, this option now allows the subcontractor client number to be imported from the Excel spreadsheet as well.

JC

New Feature - Added an option to the Estimate Import feature to suppress zero amount import items from posting to the job.

JC

New Feature - Multiple Import Structure layouts can now be created and saved in the Estimate Import feature.  A corresponding import structure file will be automatically created with each new spreadsheet name that is opened.  Saved structure files can be opened with any spreadsheet.  Sample spreadsheets along with their associated structure layout have been included in the release in the \accubld8\samples folder.  To use these samples, copy the formats into your company directory.

JC

New Feature - The Import Structure now includes a section for Categories which will utilize the decimal portion of the phase code.  Up to 100 categories (.00 thru .99) can be set up.   This feature includes several formatting options for creating the estimate details.  When the Create Estimate Button is clicked, the system will append the integer value of the phase with the category number and will create the phase description.

JC

Enhancement - Created a new Phase Master Template (phmasgc3.adt) for general contractors that includes the general ledger expense accounts that are in the Chart of Accounts Template.  These templates can be used to set up new companies and the template files are located in the \accubld8\samples directory.

JC

Enhancement - The Job Template Report can now be sorted by job cost phase or billing phase.

JC

Work in Progress Schedule – Changed the Footer Description for Column "G" to the following formula => [ J – C ] in report Jcrep06a.rpt,

JC

Committed Cost Report - Changed the formula for Column D so that when the committed costs-to-date exceed the commitments, it will display the committed costs-to-complete as zero.

JC

Created new report substitution for the AIA billing format (pre-printed form) that prints to the new G702 and new G703 forms.  Create/Edit a report substitution using Jcbill1.rpt as the original file name and Jcbill1e.rpt as the replacement file name.  The following table illustrates which format prints to the old and new forms.  Both the 'old' and the 'new' G702 and G703 forms have a copyright date of 1992 but the 'new' formats include a red AIA logo and a large 'AIA' in the top left corner of the forms.
