Made the due date on an invoice instantly reflect payment terms
any time the invoice date is modified.
Re-worked the invoice tab layout to put the invoice items on the window below the main invoice grid.
Added many more "batch" options to the main window Invoices tab.
Added a text file of default values in the State drop-downs. Non-US users can modify the file and create their own list. Additionally, all State combo boxes are editable so you can type in a missing state and future lists will include the new state entered automatically.
Added "request return receipt" on the e-mail settings page.
Added NET-7 payment term (7 days)
Added "Account Credit" to the customer statement.
Added "due date" to the invoice grid.
Added "emailed on" to the invoice grid.
Added the following macros for use in the e-mail areas (in both the e-mail body or subject): <customer_name>
<invoice_number>
<invoice_date>
<invoice_due_date>
<invoice_payment_terms>
<invoice_subtotal>
<invoice_total>
<invoice_tax1>
<invoice_tax2>
<invoice_shipping>
<invoice_balance_due>
<bill_street1>
<bill_street2>
<bill_city>
<bill_state>
<bill_zip>
<bill_country>
<ship_street1>
<ship_street2>
<ship_city>
<ship_state>
<ship_zip>
<ship_country>
Additionally, if there is a customer record associated with the invoice
(if you picked a customer from the list instead of just typing in the details),
these macros are also available :
<cc_name>
<cc_number>
<cc_exp_month>
<cc_exp_year>
<cc_cvv2>
<contact_title>
<contact_email>
<contact_ph1>
<contact_ph2>
<contact_fax>
<customer_notes>
<credit> These strings get replaced with real values when the invoice is emailed.
An example email body might be :
"<customer_name>,
Attached is your invoice #<invoice_number> dated <invoice_date> with a balance due of <invoice_balance_due>.
Please pay this invoice by <invoice_due_date>.
Thank you!"
The same macros work in the invoice email subject as well. The variable substitution is done as the
email is sent so the user sees the real values, not the place holder variables.
Changed the color of invoice result rows to indicate invoices that are past due.
Added a default for shipping rate and shipping options (settings window, Ship tab).
Added billing and shipping address text fields for free-form entry on invoices (with defaults set
on the settings window)
Fixed bug in invoice history report that could cause some invoices to be excluded from the list.
Removed CVV2 storage with customer (per Visa/MasterCard security guidelines)
