Is it possible somewhere in near future to have muiltiple profiles for one trading partner and being prompted to choose the correct profile at the effective date field when keying?

Previously we had several tp's with same account number set up which has become rather painful when importing from a bill and they all come up as 'unknowns'. Even worse when it is pointless as once you find the trading partner you still have to count to figure out which tp witth the correct profile it belongs to. This has created a lot of problems.

Currently Andrea has removed all the dupicates tp's and set a reminder to insert the effective date as per required, this is a great idea but is also very time consuming in having to count the days

P.s A little dissapointed, my 'update request' for printing rec's in one click was the first post

Multiple profiles would take quite a lot of work as low-level changes are necessary to allow two TP Accounts records with the same 3rd Party and Supplier.

There may be a number of accounts with multiple delay profiles, but in Australia the only ones I know of are some Woolworths CHEP accounts. These have a delay for pallet transfers but same-day transfers for crates and other equipment.

So my point is there should not be too many trading partners that need more than one profile.

Currently you have two options:

  1. Do not set up a delay profile (as you have now) and key the effective date for each movement. Note there are shortcuts for keying dates and in version 2.78h onwards, the effective date is calculated from the movement date instead of today's date, e.g. if the movement Date is 4-Nov-08, typing +7 into the Effective Date sets it to 11-Nov-08.
  2. Create an entire new trading partner for the second profile, e.g. "Woolworths Fresh - Pallets" and "Woolworths Fresh - Crates" as separate trading partners that both have the same CHEP account number. This makes for faster movement keying compared to entering the effective date or asking the user to select from multiple profiles in some kind of popup box if there were just "Woolworths Fresh" with two CHEP accounts.

Regarding your other request, we are trying to minimise the new features at the moment and put all effort into a major upgrade written in Microsoft .net. Some of the more time-consuming updates we would like to do, like your request for combining all reconciliation reports into one, are unfortunate casualties that drop down the priority list.

'Delay Overrides' added to the Profiles form to handle the situation of different delay days for different equipment on the same account.

Done in version 2.79a.

Your other request for combined reconciliation reports done in version 2.78o.
