  2. Fixed a bug where an employee clocked into a department with “no access w/login” check access could get into order entry rather than just employee functions. This is related to the Status variable being reset as ‘1’ in order for TouchNet to re-populate AutoZones on windows.
  3. Added a button to the Overring control page that will allow user to exit without performing and overring.

06/03/97 Version 6.02

  8. Enhanced the logic dealing with the ’86’ feature and the modifier sequence compatibility. Previously an ’86’ d item would abort a modifier sequence. Now if an item is ’86’d and a modifier sequence is being performed, the ’86’ feature will display the error, and cancel the item and then return control to the current modifier sequence (in the proper step/sequence).
  9. Added new void reporting feature. This feature uses the new shell/plugin called VoidRP.
  10. Added new printer redirection feature. This feature uses the shell PrtRedir.

    1. Combine checks routine was restyled to allow for the following changes:

      1. If the application crashes in the middle of a combine checks operation, checks will no longer be lost.
      2. The user will be informed if they try to create a check of more than 400 items and the operation will be cancelled.
      3. All checks retrievable by the logged on employee can be combined, not just checks for the same  server.

A Void Transaction command will be used on the selected checks.
