| 327952-078P Enhancement – Currency Import including Branch Field. | We have added a new Branch field to Currency Import so users can now include Branch when importing currency. | Users can add the Branch code in column G (7th column) of the .csv file used for Currency Import. This will then be imported into the Branch field of Currency Exchange Rate. |
| 356065 New System Parameter – Only allow users in specified security group to change the date of an Operation Diary | A new System Parameter has been added, that will only allow users in specified security groups to change the date of an operation diary action in a job on the status Won. If the operation diary action date is empty, users that are not part of the security group can still add the date to the action. The same also applies for uplift, delivery and packing dates in removal details. The idea is that only authorized users can change the operation diary action date, but anyone can still add a date to the action if it has not had one yet. Code: SecurityOpDiaryActionChangeDate Description: Only allow users in specified security group to change the date of an Operation Diary Actions in a job that’s won. Options: Letters from the security group Default: Blank means no security group restrictions is being applied. | Users can enable the System Parameter by assigning the security group letter(s) in the ‘Options’ field. Then under the following two conditions, the date field of operation diary actions will become read-only: 1. The user is not in the security group assigned in the System Parameter’s ‘Options’ field. 2. The operation diary action already has a date assigned. The uplift, delivery, and packing dates in job’s details will also become read-only under the same conditions. |
| 374297A New System Parameter – Default Sort Order for Debtor Invoice Update screen | A new System Parameter has been added to enable the ability to customize the sort order on the Invoice Update screen. Code: InvoiceUpdateDefaultSort Description: Default sort order for Debtor Invoice Update screen Default: 1D | Users can enable the System Parameter ”Default Sort Order for Debtor Invoice Update Screen” and add the value they would like to be set as the default sort order on the Invoice Update screen which is [Column index] + [” for ascending, ‘D’ for descending]. For example, if the System Parameter is set to 1D, the system will sort the values in column 1 (Invoice Number) in descending order. On the other hand, if set to 1, the invoice numbers will be sorted in ascending order. Below are examples of the available sort orders: 1 – Sort by Invoice # ascending 1D – Sort by Invoice # descending 2 – Sort by Date ascending 2D – Sort by Date descending 3 – Sort by R/Plan # ascending 3D – Sort by R/Plan # descending |
| 382202 Enhancement – Report Lookup – Increased Width of Comment/Description fields | Previously, when linking a Diary Action to a report or vice versa, the lookup window did not show the full code name. This could be difficult for the user to differentiate which one to link. We have now extended the browser width to see more details. | Administration > Company Setup > Diary Action Setup screen, double-click into the ‘Report Name’ field. Administration > System Setup > Report Configuration screen > double-click into the ‘Action’ field. |
| 383090 Enhancement – Added button to move contact to another Creditor/Customer/Agent record | We have added a new ‘arrow’ button to the Customer Contact, which will allow the user to move an existing customer/supplier/agent contact record to another record. Previously, there was no such button and in case a contact was changing the company, the contact had to be deleted and re-added in the corresponding record. | Customer Management > contact browser screen: 1. Double-click on a record you want to move > click on the blue arrow button 2. Pop-up ”Do you wish to move this contact to another Customer?” > Yes 3. Customer Lookup pops up > select the customer record where the contact should be moved to > Ok 4. Pop-up ”Are you sure you wish to move this Contact to another Customer?” > Yes 5.

| 383615 New System Parameter – Copy Debtor Clears Def Bank Acct, Product, CRM, Pricing, Creditor and Agent field | A new System Parameter has been added to clear certain fields on copying a customer record. Previously, Moveware would keep details of the company being copied from. Note that if you leave the field cleared and press save, it will default some of the fields to itself which is the desired effect. Code: CopyDebtClearsDefBankProdCRMPriceCredAgent Name: Copy Debtor Clears Def Bank Acct,Product,CRM,Pricing,Creditor and Agent field Default value:N | Enable the System Parameter and the following fields will be cleared in the new record being created when copying from another customer in Customer Management: – Def Bank Acct – Product – CRM – Pricing – Creditor – Agent field |

| 385115 Bug Fix – Fixed bug to show Invoice Date on Closing Accrual Screen | We have rectified the issue in which the System Parameter ”To show Invoice Date field on Accrual screen” is active but the Invoice Date appear on the Closing Accrual screen as blank. Currently, with this System Paramater enabled, the Closing Accrual screen should display both Uplift Date and Invoice Date fields on large screen resolutions. For smaller resolutions, Moveware should display either the Invoice Date or Uplift Date if the System Parameter is inactive. – With the System Parameter ”To show Invoice Date field on Accrual screen” active, Accrual shows Invoice Date. – With the System Parameter ”To show Invoice Date field on Accrual screen” inactive, Accrual shows Uplft Date. | Enable the System Parameter ”To show Invoice Date field on Accrual screen”, then navigate to the Closing Accrual screen. The followings are the correct usage depending on the screen resolution: 1. On large screen resolutions, Accrual should show both Uplift Date and Invoice Date. 2. On small screen resolutions, Accrual should show Uplift Date or Invoice Date, depending on whether the System Paramter is active. |
| 386400 Enhancement – Added Event Log when Updating/Deleting Default Bank Account | We have added the ability to capture an Event Log when a user updates or deletes the Default Bank Account on the Customer Management screen. | Changes made to the Default Bank Account field on the Customer Management screen will be recorded in the Event Log. |
| 386605 Bug Fix – Capturing event logs when closing accruals from Accrual Management screen | Previously when accruals were closed from the Accrual Management screen, there was no event log captured. With the 8.8 upgrade, the system will capture an event log of an accrual being closed. | Upon closing the accrual in Accrual Management screen, the user can go to the Removals screen, then select the desired job and click on the Event Log icon. The event will be listed in the table with description indicating that ‘Accrual Status changed from A to C – From Accruals Management Screen’. |
| 386683 Enhancement – Filter CRM by Group | We have added a new filter on the CRM screen for users to filter CRM records using Groups. | With the 8.8 upgrade, a new filter search box will appear above the Group column on the CRM screen.

| 386870 Enhancement – Added to Event Log Name of User Logging in and out as Moveware Admin | We have added a new feature to identify the user upon loggin in and out with ”Mwadmin” credentials on a client’s site. The system will create an event log capturing the login/out which also indicates the name of the Moveware staff member using the session. | When logging in to Moveware on a client’s site, a pop-up will appear after a username and password is entered, asking the user to put in their name. The name will then be present in the event log, identifying which Moveware staff member logs in and out of the client’s system. |
| 387499 Enhancement – Add a static attachment to particular types of claims when sending email | We have created the possibility to add a static attachment when sending an email from the Claims screen based on particular types of claims. Administration > System Setup > Codes Management Code Type: Claim Attach Code Value: Type of Claims Comment: Attachment Path File | This can be set up in Codes Management. Add a new Type of Claim Attach to the Code category. Then create new Claim Attach entries using the claim types as Code Value e.g. Claim and Complaint.

| 387598 Bug Fix – Reason List for Lost/Cancelled Jobs Restricted by Branch | The Reason list that appears in the ‘Reason for Cancellation’ window when setting a job to Lost/Cancelled, now respects the branch filter.

Select or add a reason, then in the Branches field add branch(es) to which the reason is applicable. When a job is set to Lost or Cancelled and it belongs to a branch in this field, the reason will be shown, otherwise it will be hidden. |

| 384907 Bug Fix – Single Touch Payroll Previous Year now looks at Payroll Year setup instead of G/L Year setup | Previously when updating a previous FY figures for STP, the system would look at the financial year setup under General Ledger. Instead, it now looks at the Payroll Financial Year setup which means that you cannot make STP submissions/updates without making sure that the Payroll Year is up to date. | When submitting previous FY STP updates, it will automatically calculate the Previous Year using the Payroll FY setup. This means that the Payroll FY setup needs to always be updated to the current Financial Year or the system would not allow you to submit the STP update. Once the Payroll FY setup is correct, submit/update STPs as per usual. |
| 386234 Enhancement – Employee Management Event Logs | We have added event log captures to more Employee Details fields. | When changes are made to the following fields under Employee Details, they will be captured in the event log: – Type – Role – Group – Department – Moveware User – Estimator – Co-ordinator – Credit Controller – Relo Consultant – Labour – Template – Hire Labour – Costing Item – Mobile User – Prev – Branches – Cost Centers – Comission Type – Comission % – Calc type |

| 377187 Bug Fix – Fixed Partial Invoice feature to prevent users from copying a Partial Invoice | Previously, when using the Partial Invoice feature, users could ‘copy invoice’ from a partial invoice which resulted in the copied invoice not being linked to the parent invoice. This has been fixed. We have added a validation which prevents users from copying a partial invoice. Instead, they will have to create a new partial invoice from its parent. | When the Partial Invoice feature is in use and a user attempts to create a new partial invoice from another partial invoice, the validation message which reads ”Copy Cancelled: This is a Partial Invoice. Please create a partial invoice from a parent invoice instead.” will appear. This is to remind users to ensure that a new partial invoice must be copied directly from its parent and to prevent further issues where partial invoices are not properly linked to the commission invoices. |
| 379154 Enhancement – Intercompany Invoicing System Parameter | Previously when System Parameter ”Automatically create Purchase from Intercompany Invoices” was enabled, an Intercompany Sales Invoice Sequence was required for the creation of the Linked Purchase Invoice.

The Details section is appended at the end of the email, after the ‘Removals’ section. | These changes are applied when the system is generating the ‘Purchase Approval Required for Creditor Purchase’ notification email. |

Usually when completing a diary action that is linked to an email report, an email with the ‘Send Email’ window will appear for a user to email the report attached.

| 384403 Enhancement – Entering Est Move Date in Quick Job Entry without the ‘/’ Symbol | In Quick Job Enty > Est Move, users can now manually enter the date as numbers without using the ‘/’ symbol to divide date, month, and year. Upon leaving the field, if the value entered can be converted into a valid date format, Moveware will do so automatically by adding the ‘/’ symbol. Previously, if a user chose to enter the date manually, the system would require it to be entered with ‘/’ symbol or by using the calendar pop-up. | Sales > Quick Job Entry > Field: Est Move If the system is set up to use DD/MM/YY date format, take May 23, 2020 as an example – it can be entered as 230520 and it will then be automatically formatted into 23/05/20. |

|---|---|---|
| 356065 New System Parameter – Only allow users in specified security group to change the date of an Operation Diary | A new System Parameter has been added, that will only allow users in specified security groups to change the date of an operation diary action in a job on the status Won. If the operation diary action date is empty, users that are not part of the security group can still add the date to the action. The same also applies for uplift, delivery and packing dates in removal details. The idea is that only authorized users can change the operation diary action date, but anyone can still add a date to the action if it has not had one yet. Code: SecurityOpDiaryActionChangeDate Description: Only allow users in specified security group to change the date of an Operation Diary Actions in a job that’s won. Options: Letters from the security group Default: Blank means no security group restrictions is being applied. | Users can enable the System Parameter by assigning the security group letter(s) in the ‘Options’ field. Then under the following two conditions, the date field of operation diary actions will become read-only: 1. The user is not in the security group assigned in the System Parameter’s ‘Options’ field. 2. The operation diary action already has a date assigned. The uplift, delivery, and packing dates in job’s details will also become read-only under the same conditions. |

Code: RPCostHideButtonCancel Description: Hide button to cancel Cost line on Removal/Rate Request Costing Options: Y – Yes, N – No Default: N | With this System Parameter enabled, the Cancel button (yellow cross icon) will be hidden from the costing details section on the Costing screen. This is applicable to both Removal and Rate Request modules. |
| 380399 Adding images through Object Management | An enhancement has been made to help make the addition of images to objects smoother. The previous process was identified as inefficient when allocating images to new objects which were yet to have any images allocated. Previously to allocate an image to an object the user had to: – double click the image placeholder to open the File Browser dialog – click the attachment icon to load the Open dialog to select images – find the image – select the newly added image in the list – click the blue tick to make the image the default so it can appear in Object Management – close the File Browser dialog | The new process can be streamlined as follows. This process happens when the object is yet to have any images allocated: – Double click the image placeholder to open the File Browser dialog – the Open dialog is displayed automatically – find the image (the first image in the list selected will become the default) – close the File Browser dialog If there are multiple images added and the first in the list is not the image to display in Object Management, user can select the correct image and hit the blue tick icon to make that image the default. If the object already has images, the process will remain unchanged from the previous behaviour. |
