Enhancements/Modifications

This release of the Aptean Beverage Contract Management extension has the following enhancements:

The Create Batch Rent Invoices function on the Rental Agreements list page allows you to create invoices for a batch. Additionally, it displays the error log for the rental agreements where no invoices could be created and enables you to proceed with the next invoice creation.
The Interest Expense Account field on the Loan Categories page allows to update the No. field on the sales/purchase invoice lines based on the positive/negative value on the unit price field. The No. field will be updated with the specific G/L account numbers as explained below:

Invoice Type	Unit Price/Unit Cost field value	No. field (Sales/Purchase Invoice lines)
Sales	Positive	Loan Interest Account
	Negative	Interest Expense Account
Purchase	Positive	Interest Expense Account
	Negative	Loan Interest Account

The Signature Date field on the Customer Contract, Loan, and Rental Agreement pages provides information about when the agreement was signed.
The Loan No. Series field on the Contract Management Setup page allows you to choose the number series for the loan.
You can generate rental invoices in batches using the specified filter criteria. In the event of any errors, the process does not stop but continues with the next loan which matches the filter criteria, while leaving the error notifications.
You can define the Global Dimension Codes and VAT PPG on the Rental Agreement lines which will have higher priority than set on the Customer Card and/or the General Ledger account.
The Invoice Amount Posted field on the Rent Invoice Buffer page is now updated when posting the Sales Credit Memos. It calculates and displays the sum of all the postings associated with Posted Sales Invoice and Posted Sales Credit Memo. This will automatically update the Invoice State as follows:

Condition	Invoice State
Invoice Amount > Invoice Amount Posted	New
Invoice Amount <= Invoice Amount Posted	Posted

You can change the Unit Price on the Rental Agreement page when the Rental Line Status is New. The related lines on the Rent Invoice Buffer are updated with the modified Unit Price.
You can manage information about the objects available for rent to your customers with the Rent Category. To know more, see [Walkthrough: Rental Agreement with scheduled invoice].
