This document lists the Breaking Changes, Enhancements and Fixes that were made in BOS Professional Version 22 (The version number follows the last two digits of the current year).

Subversions will be released monthly and will be numbered Ver 22.01, Ver 22.02, etc. Before the final release of each subversion, there may be one or more beta releases for testing on internal databases and new installations, named Ver 22.01 (Beta), etc.

When you upgrade to Ver 22, you will always upgrade to the latest Subversion or Beta Version. The following downloads will, therefore, be available:

• 2x Exe: Latest subversion & Latest beta version.

• 2x Upgrade scripts: Latest subversion & Latest beta version.

Important Note

• When a new Subversion is released, the previous Subversion will no longer be supported.

• When upgrading from a previous version, always run the script for the current version before upgrading to the next version.

Breaking Changes - BOS Professional 22

The VAT Control module has been replaced by the VAT Reconciliation module. All the fields that were available in the VAT Control transaction list are also available in the VAT Recon module. An Accounting Rebuild is required.

Customer Invoice Template changes may be required - This upgrade adds a Specification to the Customer Invoice module - previously the Note field was used for the Specification, depending on a Setting.

System Messages - this module, which was only used to import Paper Prices, has been removed in favour of using the Online Library.

Timekeeping/Job Tracking

• The Qty 1-6 have been removed in favour of using the fixed Completed and Spoiled fields.

• Production Codes have been removed in favour of using the fixed Setup, Run and Washup codes which are set up on Production Stages.

Delivery Notes - Previously the Customer/Contact fields were editable, this has now been changed to force a selection from Customers in the database. For historical transactions, which are not linked to a Customer in the database, the Customer/Contact values have been inserted into the Note field.

Customer/Supplier - Fax - the Fax field has been removed from Customers and Suppliers. If the field was being used to store other data, it needs to be replicated to another field before upgrading.

Purchase Orders - Output - Previously the Purchase Order Module had 2x Output settings: 1 for Pending and 1 for Active - these have now been merged into one setting.
