AR-B Auto closing after keying voucher
03/22/07 at 11:24:16
 
I just started using Evo today.  I have AR-B and AR-C both open at the same time as I am keying credit memos then immediately clearing open AR balances through Record Payments.  Anyway, 3 times now I have keyed the credit memo in AR-B, and immediately after I press Enter on the OK button where DBA/Evo notifies me of the Inv # in the popup dialog box, the dialog clears and then AR-B closes.  I am not aware that I am hitting anything to cause this.
 
Is anyone else having this issue, and if so, any suggestions on how to make it stop.  It's driving me batty!
 
Thanks!
Chris
 
PS--I've even tried using the mouse to click OK instead of pressing Enter.  It seems like about every 4th voucher AR-B is auto closing.

In my installation, whenever I key an AR voucher completely "from scratch", I have no problems.  However, I discovered through trial and error that there is an issue with copying a voucher.  If I copy a previous voucher to use as a template for the new voucher, after keying and getting voucher #, AR-B will not return to the voucher listing page.  It will instead close the AR-B program.  Apparently, for my installation, there is a problem with the copy function.  If anyone else has time, try it and see if it is just me or something wrong with Evo.  I experience no problems copying AR vouchers with Classic--just Evo.
 
Thanks!

Lynn, I do not see where this glitch has been addressed by any other members.  I'm guessing that I may be the only user that this is a problem for.  However, since we are in the foodservice industry, chargebacks and credits are an unfortunate side effect of all of the specials and end-user programs that exist to support our industry.  As such, I average 175-200 AR vouchers per month, and many (probably more than half) of these require me to copy a previous voucher to start a new one to handle movement of the credit to the correct bill-to account.  This situation is caused by some of my largest customers consolidating all of their individual house/branch payments onto 1 check, but we maintain the branches on separate bill-to's due to territorial commission calculations, brand/channel requirements, etc.
 
As you might well imagine, if I have to constantly re-open AR-B 100+ times a month because the Copy as New Voucher procedure contains a glitch in Evo which causes it to close after every copied new voucher creation, I am wasting a great deal of time fighting a losing battle against Evo.  I would waste an equal amount of time constantly re-typing every similar voucher if I have to avoid using the Copy as New Voucher function.
 
I doubt will ever be able to get away from Classic and use Evo exclusively while this serious (for me) bug exists in Evo.  I do not understand the nature of the problem as there doesn't seem to be an Evo-only version of AR-B which should mean both front-ends are calling the same BKARB.RUN source code from May 2006.
 
I know that you and Allen and the rest of the IS Tech team are always busy as you are constantly striving to improve Evo/DBA.  Even though you're busy, can you please put on your list of things to do my request to have the AR-B Copy as New Voucher function investigated and see if you can find out why it is not working correctly in Evo? I would very much like to work towards getting everyone off of Classic so that I don't have to pay dual annual license fees, but I cannot do that until this anti-productive Evo glitch is solved.
 
Thanks much for your time!
Chris

Thank you for your more detailed explanation of the issue.   Let me see what I can duplicate (and therefore fix).

I was not sure if this was happening, but yesterday I used the Copy function to prepare two AR Vouchers and I can confirm your finding.  The software does automatically close after entering one voucher.

It's a pain the the you-know-what.  Since it is still doing this in the 3/18/08 update, I'm guessing Lynn and Allen haven't been able to figure out why Evo is doing this?

We were able to duplicate it and Allen is working on a fix.

Allen has devised a fix, so for the 1 other person that this affects Tongue, keep an eye out for a patch from Lynn for AR-B later today.  I have tested it and now works for me in Evo like it does in Classic.
 
Thanks again for the patch.  This makes my life with Evo much easier.

Thanks, Lynn, for the patch.  We need to update for patch to be effective - hopefully in the very near future.
