Program temporary fix downloads
Depending on your needs, choose one of two
files. The PTF jc970412.exe corrects the problems with importing
invalid batch information (non-existent phases or categories), which can be posted to your
data files. This version introduced a restriction which does not allow the entry of blank
phases or categories. If you are not importing, or have blank phases or categories, use
961001.exe instead.
jc961001.exe
corrects the following problems which can arise in the released version of Job Costing
6.1A:
DATA INTEGRITY CHECKER
- The previous version of the Data Integrity Checker did not
validate allocated overhead for the phase summary file against the allocated overhead
found in the transaction detail file.This diskette contains new programs that fix the
problem.
- The previous version of the Data Integrity Checker falsely
reported "No change orders for this master record." If you ran the Checker in
"fix" mode, the Data Integrity Checker created an error in its misguided attempt
to "repair" the data.
This diskette contains a new Data Integrity Checker. After
you install this diskette, run the Data Integrity Checker in "fix" mode to
restore the data to its correct state.
A/M/D TIMESHEETS IN JOB COSTING FOR CANADIAN PAYROLL
- Under certain circumstances, the previous version of
Add/Modify/Delete Timesheets for Canadian Payroll did not correctly calculate the amount
derived from the decimal portion of the Hours/Units value. This diskette contains a new
A/M/D Timesheets program that fixes the problem.
SIMPLE COST TRACKING
- When you track a job with Simple Cost Tracking, the previous
versions of the Job Status and Job in Progress reports showed that Overhead was
erroneously expensed when you posted Cost Transactions AND when you posted Billings,
effectively doubling the Overhead expensed. This diskette contains new programs that fix
the problem. Overhead will be expensed correctly on all jobs set up AFTER you install this
diskette.
CONVERSION OF ESTIMATES FROM PRE-6.1A TO VERSION 6.1A
DATA
Follow these instructions only if you just discovered this
conversion problem; that is, you have just now upgraded to Job Costing 6.1A. Restore the
backup of your 6.0A (or earlier) data you made before you installed Job Costing version
6.1A and converted your data.
- This diskette contains a new data conversion program. The
conversion of pre-6.1A data to version 6.1A does not convert estimates correctly. You must
restore the backup of your data made before you installed Job Costing 6.1A. When the new
conversion program converts your 6.0A (or earlier) data to 6.1A, the estimates will be
converted correctly.
AIA BILLINGS WORKSHEET
- The previous version of the AIA Billings Worksheet
incorrectly reported the Billed Previously value for phases that are set up with no
categories and for jobs that have revenue tracking at the phase level. This diskette
contains new programs that fix the problem.
A/M/D JOB ESTIMATES
- In the previous version of Add/Modify/Delete Job Estimates,
if more than one user is entering job estimates for the same database, it is possible for
the job summary file (JCJSUM) to become corrupted. This diskette contains new programs
that fix the problem.
jc970412.exe
corrects the above problems in the released version of Job Costing 6.1A, and in addition
will correct the following problem:
PRINT COST BATCHES & POST COST BATCHES
- In the previous version, the program would incorrectly allow
the printing and posting of batches under the following conditions:
- Importing cost batches, AND
- Using a non existent phase or category, AND
- Using the simple cost tracking option.
This diskette contains new programs that fix the problem.
