Multiple print exe by multiple instance of FR was causing print of duplicate bills in some cases.

Scenario:

FR used to start a print exe instance each time it get started. That means if you open FR 3 time then print exe will also start 3 times. This was causing duplicate print of bills in some extreme cases.

Solution:

We have restricted opening of print exe only one time even if multiple instance of FR is started.

We have done this by adding the following option in the Location Master ( M>I>L ),

Start Multiple Print Exe = NO / Yes

If NO = it will check for the previously running instance of print exe and if previously running instance of Print exe's folder is same as current exe then it will not start a new instance.

If YES = it will start a new instance of print exe without checking anything. You might need this option is you are using thin clients.

 

NOTE: THIS IS A BREAKING CHANGE FOR THE CUSTOMERS WHO ARE USING THE THIN CLIENTS OR USING MULTIPLE FOLDERS.

 

Voucher Date should be taken from Open Day Date instead of system date.

Scenario:

In case of Day Open / Close process, we take system date as voucher date after midnight.  Due to this, it becomes challenging to tally sales or stock for the specific day whose duration falls between to calendar date.

 

Solution:

In Location Master, a new list type is added in the field of Allow Day Open /Close Procedure (apart from no / yes)

No:  in this case Day open / close process is not enabled

Yes: Voucher Date = System Date

Allow Day open/close Procedure: Without Midnight Date Change

Voucher Date = Day Open Date instead of system date

After midnight, Voucher Time should be always 11:59 PM till day close process.

Other date and time fields (like date-time-in date-time-out in Sale Touch POS (STT) will be not affected by this.

 

It will work with every transaction such as

Sale Scan POS ( S>T>S ) / Sale Touch POS ( S>T>T ) / Sale Challan / Sale Return

Purchase / Purchase Challan / Purchase Return

Stock Transfer / Indent

Physical Stock Entry

Accounting Voucher

Note: Auto Stock Journal Date is already based on the sale date.

 

Auto Stock Journal on Day Close

In Location Master (M>I>L) - Added an option

"Run Auto Stock Journal from Day Close = No/Yes"          

On day close, it will run this process automatically.

 

Note: This process will run before the discrepancy adjustment from physical stock on day close. It will work only with sale data.

 

Automatic Update of Schedule Task on Date Change

Scenario: The task is created at 12.01 every day and take the last close day id.

But if the day close is after 12.01 then it skips the current day id (takes the last closed day id)

Solution: In Location Master We have added an option

Auto Schedule Generation Time = 01:00

 

Implementation Example:

If the server is on 24x7 and your approx day close time is 1 am

AND you want to send auto emails at 2 am.

Then set "Auto Schedule Generation Time = 01:30"
