AUTOMATIC UPDATE OF DAILY TRANSACTION REGISTER
A security event has been added to Role Maintenance that allows you to automatically update the Daily Transaction Register. For any series of journal and register updates that concludes with the Daily Transaction Register, you will not receive a prompt to print and update the register if the security event check box is selected for your role. The Daily Transaction Register will be printed and updated automatically. The security event has been added for the following modules:

• Accounts Payable
• Accounts Receivable
• Bank Reconciliation
• Bill of Materials
• Inventory Management
• Job Cost
• Purchase Order
• Sales Order
• Work Order

AUTO-COMPLETE FOR ACCOUNT NUMBERS
The auto-complete feature has been added for general ledger account number fields. You can now search for an account by entering any of the following in an account number field: l Account number l Main account l Account description l Account group As you type, a list of accounts matching your entry appears, and you can select one from the list. This feature is automatically enabled for all users. You can disable the feature for individual users in Library Master > User Maintenance. To enable this feature, run the Build Search Index utility on the Library Master Utilities menu to create an index. As you add accounts, you’ll need to run the utility again to index the new records.

WARNING MESSAGE FOR DOCUMENT DATES
A Use Document Date Warning check box has been added to the Preferences tab in Company Maintenance. After selecting this check box, you can enter a value in one or both of the following fields:
Document Date – Prior Periods to Allow Outside of Current Period
Document Date – Future Periods to Allow Outside of Current Period
These values are compared to the current period entered in the module’s Options task to determine when a date falls outside of the valid date range. Alternately, in Bill of Materials, Inventory Management, Purchase Order, Return Merchandise, and Sales Order, the values are compared to the current calendar month and year if Calendar Months is selected in the Base Inventory Periods On field in Inventory Management Options.
If you start to create a document with a date that falls outside of the valid range, you’ll receive one of two messages:
If you’re using the default date for that session, a warning message appears, and  you can click OK to continue.
If you manually enter the date, a warning message asks if you want to proceed. If you click Yes with the date entered, a record is written to the Activity Log.  If you import records with a document date falling outside of the specified range through Visual Integrator, a warning is written to the Import Log.
