12.10.11

The following 12.10.11 stability notes are additional changes made after the parent release 12.10.6 and prior stability releases. For a summary of all changes, please see the 12.10.6 summary notes. Notes are listed in order of our project tracking numbers.

B-43570 - General Ledger, Journal Entry

Restrictions have been added for modification of automated journal entries. The entries associated with the journals are linked to transaction records. The modification or deletion of these entries can cause issues with standard and custom reporting as well as links between documents. Please use additional entries or manual journals for any changes you may feel are necessary to the system generated journal entries. (12.10.6) B-43570 TFS-145653-B

Prior change inadvertently prevented new additions (rows) to a system generated journal. Code has been modified to permit this while still preventing changes to the system generated entries. Additional change to consider possibility of NULL values and change to how we determine an automated entry vs. an added entry. (12.10.11) B-43570 TFS-150672-P

B-43772 - TSYS Cayan - ACE Gift Card Activation        

With TSYS Cayan, the "99" (or "990") prefix was not being done automatically for ACE Gift Card activations. This has been corrected, so the gift card activation amount will now be prefixed with "99" for amounts under the maximum $250 dollar amount and "990" for amounts below $10 ($5 is the minimum). Please note: the activation amount displayed on the pad will differ from the amount the customer is charged. For example, if the customer is purchasing a $25 gift card, the activation amount will be "$9925" not $25. This is due to the way ACE chose to implement their card program. Instead of doing a gift card activation, it's processed as a SALE and will usually receive a DECLINE response from the processor (which indicates a successful activation). The first time you activate a card, it's best to contact ACE to verify that the card was truly activated.

ACE Gift Card activation requires use of an item assigned to the "ACEGiftCard" item type and has other requirements. You typically need to provide merchant information to ACE Hardware Corporation before you can activate cards. (12.10.11) B-43772 TFS-150610-P

TFS-148718 - Release Expiration Warning Timing

The release expiration message was originally triggered 10-days prior to the expiration date of a release. Releases currently expire after approximately 150 days (subject to change). Releases always expire on Wednesdays to avoid weekends; however, the initial warning started appearing on a weekend. For this reason, we have modified the warning to begin 14-days prior to the expiration date of the release. Additionally, other "one-day" expiration warnings triggered on the 20th and 30th days have been modified to be triggered instead on the 21st and 28th days so that all release messaging happens mid-week rather than on weekends. This is primarily being done to ensure support availability in the event of questions. Release expiration warnings don't apply to our cloud-hosted customers as we are responsible for their updates.

TFS-150741 - EOD - Inventory Journal Error

Correction made to the stored procedure named EOD_GL_Inventory. This procedure is responsible for creating ledger entries for the automated "system" journal named "Inventory." The "surplus" account (index 4) was being referenced instead of the "accrual" account in cases where the "surplus" mapping had never been completed. The default in this case should be accrual (index 3). This caused issues for certain types of inventory activity when generating ledger entries for EOD. This issue was introduced with release 12.10.6, identified during BETA testing, and was not present in the 12.9.x production versions so most customers were not affected. (12.10.11) TFS-150741.
