Venture 4.2.2 Release Notes

  • Added item code print flag to customer master.  Now you can select if the customer’s item code prints on invoices, orders and packing slips.
  • Fixed bug in A/R lookup where right clicking on the order number -> order lookup was broken.

Venture 4.2.1 Release Notes

  • In the Accounting module, there is now an Advanced Search.  If you need to look up customer invoices, check it out.
  • In the A/R invoice lookup in the Accounting module, if you select several invoices, the preview on the right will give the aggregate total of those invoices.

  • Customer lookup in Accounting module is now the same lookup as the core Venture module with the same right-click options.
  • Sales reports have now been broken out into “Sales by Customer” and “Sales by Vendor”, so you can view item sales with either the vendor or customer as the key.
  • Canceling a line on a suspended P/O or order will now delete that line from the order and renumber the lines so they’re sequential when the order/PO is processed.
  • Price updates now show both the folder name (tied to user) and the original file name in the left-hand pane.
  • Manual stock adjustments now require a “reason code”.  The reason codes are in a drop-down menu, so pick the appropriate one if you do manual stock adjustments.

Initializing Ecomm System Session

There is a script that initializes the system session called check_valid_session.php.

 The script is located here:

 vent2-www: /var/www/sub-domains/com.kscdirect/scripts

vent-www: /usr/local/apache2/httpd/kscdirect-scripts

 When running the script, you have to use the correct PHP wrapper for the site you want to initialize.  Here’s the wrappers:

 Ewins: php-ewins

KSC: php-ksc

Pahls: php-pahls

Popart: php-popart

STI: php-stigroup

Smart Solar: php-solar

VDAM: php-vdam

Example:To reinitialize the KSC ecomm system session on vent2-www, the command would be:

php-ksc  /var/www/sub-domains/com.kscdirect/scripts/check_valid_session.php
