If you have InventoryControl V5.x please

InventoryControl v6.2

InventoryControl v6.2 patch fixes the following problems:

Added Features:
1) Add label printing function to the Receive function on both the InventoryControl RF wireless device as well as the batch device.
2) Add the ability to print PO Receipt and packing slip printing from the wireless device, via InventoryControl service.
3) Allows user to print labels and receipts to different printers via the service.
4) Modified the Inventory Cost report and view to better deliver the cost information if the cost method is FIFO and LIFO. Also this report now handles all cost method, including legacy and average.
5) Allow UK customer to print to A4 paper instead of the default letter size.

Fixed Bugs:
1) Non-admin users can no longer change company data from PO screen.
2) Print 'Add' transaction label failed when label  is updated to use a custom db view instead of vPendingItems
3) Capture the accurate time of receiving, just like what we did for add. This will help us to calculate more accurately if the item is set to be FIFO/LIFO costing.
4) On the Pick form, up down arrow on the pick quantity field doesn't work if it is a kit item.
5) Failed to send email if using port 587.

How to apply the patch:

InventoryControl Standard or Professional: On each of the client machine, run the patch program. It should bring the programs to the latest. On the database server, if only database is installed, there is no need to run the patch, since the database is updated with one of the client machine patching. If the programs also reside on the database server, then shall run the patch program on database server too.

InventoryControl Enterprise: If you have Enterprise edition, please download the patch, as explained above in the Standard and Professional version, and also download the Enterprise DB Installer and run it on your database server.

INVENTORYCONTROL V6.1

InventoryControl v6.1 patch fixes the following problems:

1) Improved mechanism for establishing wireless connection to InventoryControl service.

2) Fixed bug: database backup will use .bak suffix to better conform to Microsoft's default practice.

3) Fixed bug: failed to process the xml file generated for the batch device because there are duplicate item_ids for newly created items.

4) Fixed bug: Quantity entry on the pick order form is not working. Numbers are entered in reverse order.

5) Fixed bug: 'Unable to create snapshot' error when wireless program starts up on the device.

6) Fixed bug: If user erroneously generates an item with a large number, then deletes it and manually resets the item seed
back to the desired one. The program still stuck at the large number (1+ the deleted item).

7) Fixed bug: Remove - Error while removing inventory whose cost method is set to FIFO after upgrade.

8) Fixed bug: If we click on 'Item Number' on item list, then click 'Print Label', label will not print out in the order of item number,
it always print out by item id.

9) Fixed bug: If the date format is set to dd/mm/yyyy on both PC and mobile device and a checkout transaction is done on
the mobile device, the due date came back in the wrong format. Therefore the application fails to process the data.

10) On the Transaction Receive Report, the label text preceding the date indicates Pick Date. It should be Receive date.

11) Purchase Order Receive Report is now sorted by order date first, followed by PO Number and then Item Number.

12) Allow user to filter transactions with no reference number out of the Transaction Add With Reference Report and
Transaction Add By Reference Report
