Classic Release Notes

Release Date: October 8, 2024 - 2.1.900.50

Payment Processing:

• We added a fix to remove deleted aliases from expired agreements.

SWAPI (LAN Only):

• The self-signed SSL certificate deployed for SWAPI was set to expire in the near future, so we created a new certificate.

Release Date: September 10, 2024 - 2.1.900.49

Recurring Reconciliation:

• We've fixed an issue where transaction times were being converted to local time and causing the transaction to not match to the corresponding periodic invoice date.

SWAPI (ARInvoiceQuery):

• We added a Voided element to the response body.

Release Date: August 6, 2024 - 2.1.900.48

Billing Account History:

• Improved a warning dialog for processing SW Mobile and SW Invoice refunds from within Successware.

Payroll:

• On occasion, creating a payroll export file for ADP might have failed with the error 'Invalid premium multiplier', which has now been fixed.

Payroll Reconciliation Report:

• We've fixed an issue where that occurred when the import/export method was configured for ADP Workforce Now, importing the reconciliation file would fail with multiple "No employee match for deduction" errors.

AR Invoice/Line Detail:

• Fixed issue where rapid Enter and Escape shortcut keypresses could cause an Access Violation when editing the detail of an invoice line item (parts, labor, etc.).

Release Date: July 9, 2024 - 2.1.900.46

Billing Account History:

• Fixed a bug that prevented refunds of deposits via the active payment processor.

Billing Account History Allocations:

• When viewing allocations for a receivable, the Update Receivable Balance option is now enabled when the receivable has no allocations. This is useful when it is necessary to recalculate the balance on the receivable.

Agreement Manager:

• We fixed a bug that occurred when an unexpected error (such as, "insufficient memory"), appeared while opening one of the view queries. These unexpected errors were occasionally followed by a "Field not found" error which would repeat indefinitely until the application was forcibly terminated.

Database Maintenance (LAN Utility):

• Removed "shrink" from the standard options when using Run Maintenance. Shrink may still be run separately from Maintenance Details if needed.
• When shrink is run from Maintenance Details, an index rebuild will automatically be run since shrink results in index fragmentation.

Release Date: June 7, 2024 - 2.1.900.45

SWAPI:

• Payment method and payment type were being cleared on AR receipts submitted via SWAPI because it was not recognized by SWAPI. Added support for Diners Club. Now when a Diners Club payment is received the payment method "Diners" will be added to the Payment Methods reference lookup if it does not already exist.
• Very long search strings submitted for CompanyName, LastName, or Address1 in the AccountListQuery search could cause the SWAPI service to crash. The search strings are now validated for proper length.

Call Taking:

• When using Successware Payments payment processing and capturing credit card information for the job, the alias capture screen would populate with name and address information for the location. This was okay in the general case where the job is being billed to the carbon copy billing account, but incorrect when billing to another customer account. The alias capture screen now populates with the correct billing account information.

Add-On Manager:

• Add-Ons that have API validation will now record errors in the Successware Event Log if an error occurs with API calls.

Form Usage Tracking:

• Fixed a bug where form usage data purging was not occurring when expected.

User Manager/Login:

• Fixed an issue where an invalid username would drop the user back to the login form instead of showing the "Invalid username or password..." error message.

Secure Payment Processing Wizard:

• In the case where the credit card alias on an agreement is the last occurrence of the alias, the payment processing wizard requires that the "Remove Card" option be used so that the payment processor gets notified of the alias removal. However, if the agreement was active, Remove Card was failing due to the active agreement. The active agreement validation has been modified to only look for other active agreements.

Timecard Assistant:

• Added fix to prevent existing timecard entries on the Dispatch Board from interfering with timecard entries created through the Timecard Assistant that have the same start time and call type.

Release Date: May 8, 2024 - 2.1.900.44

Payroll:

• New ADP TotalSource and TotalSource with local tax codes payroll export file formats.
• Renamed ADP Payroll Service to ADP Workforce Now.
• Added Jury Duty and Bereavement to the ADP pay item validation routines.
• Some export formats may be hidden from the dropdown list in payroll setup. When this was the case, selecting “Standard Text Export (with state and local tax codes)” was resulting in one of the hidden formats being mistakenly selected.

QB Link:

• Disabled the auto update feature for Classic customers.
• Added a link to select the export\import folder.
• Fixed a Platform issue where birth date was being cleared in QuickBooks.

SWAPI:

• Stopped LocationQuery OpenJobCount from counting Project Jobs to be consistent with no project job data being returned by dsHistoryList.

Login Dialog:

• Fixed an issue where trying to log in as an inactive user would drop the user back to the login dialog instead of showing an error message that indicated the issue.

Successware Payments:

• Fixed an issue where reversing receivables and deleting payments from an invoice would preference refunds over voids, even if the payment was voidable in Successware Payments.

Agreements Recurring Payments:

• Fixed an issue with the recurring payment start date being set too far into the future for Successware Payments.

Release Date: March 8, 2024 - 2.1.900.43
