ComCept’s new Data Maintenance and document upload in Document Generation have arrived!

Data Maintenance:

Along with containing the majority of the current functionality we have added some new features.  These include Price Profile/Customer Special Pricing maintenance, Attribute maintenance for customers and items, and the ability to schedule the uploads.  We have added new fields to the customer and item maintenance downloads that were not available in the previous version.  Two spreadsheets types not currently available in this new version are the PricePro update and Inventory add templates.  These will be added in the near future.  The previous version of data maintenance is still 100% functional until we have all its features added to this new version.

Data Maintenance security warning:  This new version of Data Maintenance is embedded within the ComCept.net application and not separately installed.  A new permission is required to access the new version.   The permission is DM_View.  We cannot stress enough the importance of making sure only the users you want to have access to this have this new security permission.  The first time the new Data Maintenance is accessed you will be prompted to accept the user agreement.  There is help documentation located here:  http://doc.comcept.net/New-Data-Maintenance.ashx.  Please take some time to look over this documentation prior to its use.  We will be making the new Data Maintenance link available in ComCept Utopia on 1/18/2016 so you have some time to get your security setup and have a chance to read the help documentation.

NOTE:  In order for us to answer questions about the new Data Maintenance functionality you must first read the documentation.

Document upload for Document Generation:

The document upload feature in Document Generation allows users to upload any number of POs, RGPOs and Transfers on a single upload.  This feature allows the user to enter costs or allow the system to generate the cost for you.  All documents will appear in the Document Generation batch that it was uploaded into to allow for review and modifications.  A new permission is necessary in order to access the feature, which is called InvDocumentBatch_ItemUpload.  There is help documentation located here:  http://doc.comcept.net/Document-Upload-in-Document-Generation.ashx.
