This Service Pack contains a modified version of one or more Accounts Receivable program modules. The modification is not a full upgrade or a product replacement; it is a temporary program fix that is valid only until we release an update that incorporates these changes.

Account Receivable Service Pack 2:

1. Added aging option to Create Interest Batch.
2. Fixed a problem which prevents the proper entry number from being generated when a third party macro or program calls viewInit instead of viewRecordGenerate to create a new entry. This problem affects the ARIBH (Invoice Entry) and ARTCR (Receipt Entry and Adjustment Entry) views.
3. Added the ability to autoapply job-related details for credit notes, debit notes, and prepayments during invoice posting.
4. Added the ability to specify job details on the Prepayment popup in Invoice Entry for job related invoices.
5. Fixed a problem in customer statements where the ‘Sort Documents By’ setting is not saved when the ‘Settings/Save Settings as Defaults’ feature is used.
6. Fixed a problem in Return Customer Checks where reversing a check with a miscellaneous adjustment against a job detail didn't update the job's revenue balance correctly in Project and Job Costing.
7. Fixed several activation problems. Hot fixes 16891.
8. Fixed a problem in the AR Activation module. When activating from 5.2A, the conversion of the ARATR table may fail if duplicate receipts exist. This only happens if user processed year end without purging posting journals.
9. Fixed a problem in Invoice Posting where a Post In Progress batch is created for an invoice document with a fix currency rate between the tax reporting currency and the home currency as defined in Euro Conversion Rates in Common Services.
10. Fixed tab sequence problem Receipt Entry that was not taking the cursor to the details after the Go button.
11. Fixed problems with entering exchange rates in Invoice Entry, Receipt Entry, and Adjustment Entry that occur when using regional settings that have something other than the period for the decimal separator.
12. Fixed a problem where item statistics were not being updated for item invoices created through recurring charges.
13. Fixed a refresh problem in Receipt Inquiry which resulted in the wrong customer number and name being displayed in the Receipt Information popup.
14. Changed Receipt Entry to set the comment in the bank deposit to the entry description.
15. Allow receipts that have been previously cleared to be reversed. This was supported in versions prior to 5.4 but was inadvertently prevented in 5.4.
16. Integrity Checker will allow user to change application options for Accounts Receivable for non-admin user, as long as the user has rights to the integrity checker.
17. Changed Receipt Entry to prevent assigning an invoice number to a cash invoice (misc. receipt) that has already been used. Previously this was not caught until the entry was posted, resulting in a posting error.
18. When manually entering job related item invoices for Basic projects that are Fixed Price (Accrual-Basis or Billing and Costs), the Unit Cost will be defaulted from the corresponding billing rate whenever possible.
19. Fixed a refresh problem in Refund Inquiry which resulted in the wrong customer number and name being displayed in the Refund Information popup.
20. Fixed a problem that could cause the error "Requested receipt was cleared previously" when reconciling statements in Bank Services. 
    
    If a receipt batch contained an apply transaction for which the applied receipt had already been cleared at the time the batch was posted, any receipts, prepayments, and unapplied cash transactions that followed the apply transaction in the same batch would incorrectly be marked as Cleared, instead of In Transit.

Service Pack 1:

1. Fixed a potential problem where Invoice Posting can produce a Post In Progress batch when processing retainage invoices, retainage debit notes or retainage credit notes.  The problem is rare but becomes more prevalent when included taxes are used.
2. Fixed a problem where the user does not get a locked period warning when creating a new Invoice, Receipt, Adjustment or Refund when the default date is in a locked fiscal period.
3. Changed Invoice Entry to be compatible with Sage Accpac CRM Integration 5.4A.
4. Fixed a problem where ACCPAC Plus Conversion can produce unapplied cash receipts with the bank receipt amount not rounded to the correct number of decimal places.
5. Fixed problem when Aged Trial Balance report does not check customers that have credit limit set up by number of days overdue.
6. Fixed a problem in A/R Integrity Checker that resulted in an incorrect value for the total number of errors.
7. Added capability to sort by optional fields to Aged Trial Balance report.
8. Fixed a problem where the Aged Trial Balance report would skip some customers that should have been included. This problem occurs when printing the report a second time using fewer SELECT BY conditions than on the first time.
9. Fixed a problem where Receipt Entry prevents user from changing bank currency for a miscellaneous receipt once detail entered.
10. Fixed a problem in Refund Entry which may slow down the process when the option for duplicate check numbers is warning or error.
11. Fixed a problem where Refund Entry shows an error when entering details if the Default Payment Code's type is not Cash/Check/Credit Card in A/R Option.
12. Enhanced Terms Setup to support importing of existing terms codes. Previously only new terms codes could be imported. If importing an existing terms code then the existing terms code and all of its details will be replaced by the one being imported.
13. Reduce the time required by the Print Invoices form to mark invoices as printed when selecting invoices by Customer/Document No. and the default customer range is specified.
14. Added a fourth Customers report format. This format displays only customers that have customer comments within the specified follow-up date range.
15. Fixed a problem where Receipt Posting can produce a Post In Progress batch when payments with advance credit claims contain duplicate document numbers.
16. Fixed a problem in Refund Entry which prevented locked period warnings from showing up.
17. Fixed a problem where Receipt Posting can produce a Post In Progress batch when a job related miscellaneous receipt detail has a cost class of Material and the resource field contains a non-alphanumeric character like '#'.
18. Fixed a problem with the receipt report, ARRCPT.RPT where the first tax authority code is hidden when Calculate Tax is unchecked.
