Importing 4A's orders is now available for testing. This is an added cost option and is currently in limited availability. To utilize, you download the order from the agency portal (for example, Katz) and save it to your computer. Once downloaded and saved, locate the saved file on your computer using Windows and use standard Drag/Drop functionality included with Windows to drop the file onto the RT dashboard or orders window. If enabled, the import process will begin that will walk you through the creation/assignment of related agency and/or customer. Once finished with the agency/customer, the order will be automatically imported and presented on the screen for further review. Make any changes desired and save the order. Once an order has been imported, it can not be imported again. However, doing so will automatically navigate you to the imported order in the Orders window. ^beta

1098

Another round of working toward "integrity of invoices". In order to modify the header of the invoices related to an order, you will need to right click on the invoice, choose the View Order menu item, enable Correction Mode. Make any changes you want to have applied to the Order and associated Invoices and press OK/Apply. Upon doing so, the order and invoices will be modified accordingly. You also have the ability to add (pull from circulation without having to place on a log), remove (put back into circulation for log placement) and/or trash (throw away) spots from invoices. To modify existing invoice item details, you'll need to be an administrator and can modify any values associated with each line item.
In order to get everyone on track, we've also reset the "back balance" invoice feature; so if you are still working on adding back balances, please let us know so we can re-enable this for you.
Corrected issue in the new Goal report where net numbers were being incorrectly used in some cases as gross numbers.

1090

Added support for importing electronic orders from agencies. At this stage it is very rudimentary and is just at the stage where we can solicit some feedback from those customers whom are interested in such a feature. To be clear, it is not "working" at this stage; it is just far enough along to demonstrate a proof of concept and provides enough information to begin ironing out the details to get it to the point where it does "work". ^beta

1089

Added a feature that syncronizes the invoices directly to the orders; meaning that whenever a change is made to the order header, the associated values are automatically updated on all of the associated invoices. Any items that causes the dollar amounts of the invoices to be modified, those invoices will be reversed along with any payments applied. ^beta
Modified invoice item so that only 80 characters are allowed in the description field.

1088

1081

Corrected issue found testing Add Spot being incorrectly utilized during Direct Invoices.

1080

Modified invoice editing so that there are now several seperate "features" associated with "editing of invoices". There is the ability to create an invoice directly; primarily used when entering back balances. This has other uses, but does not appear to be really leveraged by any number of our customers at this time. There are two different modes of operation regarding editing of existing invoices; one that allows you to add and remove spots and the other that allows the complete, uninhibited, editing of everything that is on the invoice. The first will keep spot integrity in place and, thus, allow revenue projections to continue to work as expected. The second will allow you to add whatever you wish onto an invoice, meaning items that were never scheduled; as such, currently, these items are not included in revenue projections.
Modified SuperAdmin so that orders can now be deleted even if the associated spots have been schedules, ran and invoiced. Previously, you had to force the status of these to available, bumped or trashed; this is no longer required.
When editing an invoice and changing the copy of a spot based line item; the copy will now be modified on the original log.
Added the ability to Add, Remove (aka "bump") and Trash spot based line items on an invoice.
Modified so that SPW based order entry can now be enabled/disabled. Defaults to disabled.
Modified template editor so that group administrators (no other roles defined) can now access the list of stations.

1079

Added icons to the bump, invalid copy and make good tabs to better draw attention to these tabs. If any of these lists are empty, the icon is no longer visible. If an icon is visible on a tab, this indicates there is "stuff to be done".

1078

Corrected issue where the Note column was not being displayed property in the A/R window.

Added Sales % to the Revenue Projection Detail report. (Thanks Jason)

1074

Corrected an issue that occurs under specific circumstances where SPW based orders would not allow modifying the end date (stopping) using a Sunday date.

1073

Modified ENCO log export to support the ability to override the transition (FORMAT) code to an A/L/N/S value. By default, transition is an A; no additional effort is needed to leave it defined as an A.
Modified automatic reconciliation so that any aired files that contain categories are now filtered to only the categories that are configured in RT.
Added support for Wide Orbit automatic reconciliation.
Added a YYYY-MM column to A/R so that transactions can be grouped together by year-month. When grouped, displays total amount of debit and credit transaction(s).

Fixed issue preventing the deletion of a revenue source (SuperAdmin) due to pacing data.

1072

Modified Statements so that cash and trade are grouped together and identified in the item list.
Modified Order List so that oar orders that aren't "flat rate billing" are visible on the report.
Modified Inventory report so that "automatic placement" of non-placed spots is executed before brute force distribution into dayparts of left over spots is done.

Modified A/R so that administrators and accounting managers have access to Reverse and Trash functionality.
CAUTION: Group Administrators can now "delete" transactions / dynamic invoices in A/R. Right click on a transaction in A/R that you'd ***DELETE***; meaning all history and reference to it will be removed. There is no UNDO. This process can not be reversed.

1067

Modified Placement list back to be 1-10 based on feedback; however, added additional information to remove confusion regarding whether 1 is highest or lowest.

1066

Modified WideOrbit export to use an .ASC extension per discussion with WideOrbit.

1065

Modified order entry so that "priority" is now referred to as "placement". Additionally, to reduce confusion as to whether or not 10 is better than 1; we now use an A-F "grading".
Added a seperate export for WideOrbit Radio Automation; very similar to SS32, yet different enough to require a seperate process.

1064

Modified Enco automation export to support cartnumbers defined as nnnnnA where A represents the FUNCTION value used in the automation system. If not defined, assumes that the FUNCTION is A (as it has previously done).
Modified Enco automation import (ASPLAY) to support reading if the GROUP and WASPLAY columns do not exist due to running an older version of the automation product. Having these columns produces much better results; highly recommend updating to the current release of the automation product.

Enhanced emailing of invoices to provide additional feedback regarding emails not being sent due to the customer's/agency's email address not being resolved is presented (and logged) accordingly.
