RFC 37521

Physical Count Entry

The mouse pointer changes to an hourglass when the Save button is pressed. If there are any inventory items that are counted for the first time that do not have any FIFO receipt history a secondary form is displayed that allows you to enter the unit cost for these items.

RFC 37297

All transaction lists that display the count period were not automatically updated when a new physical count period was created or when an open count period was deleted. This has been corrected.

For example if there was not an open count period at the time a purchase order receipt for the current period was entered the displayed value for the count period on the purchase order receipts list would read Current Period. If you were to then create an open count period the displayed value in the purchase order receipts list was not being changed from Current Period to the count period just created. The reverse was also true. If you deleted an open count period the count period display in the transaction list was not being changed from the count period just deleted to the text Current Period.
RFC 37645

Transaction Entry Lists

All transaction lists were not automatically updated when a data manager job was executed that had an impact on the content of the displayed list. This has been corrected.

For example if the sales entry list was displayed at the time a data manager job was executed that imported sales, the sales day imported did not appear in the sales entry list until you exited and restarted Inventory Control Operations.
RFC 37642
