Several new changes to announce.  Paypal link is available for your customers in the shopping cart.  A new email notification system with escalation path.  New expanding sidebar menus.  And digital product can be uploaded and attached to sales items.

11/05/2006
It is good to be back.  We have a new layout with the core module menu displayed on the left side bar.  Also a new module for Equipment was added.  It includes scheduled maintenance, trip tickets, and monitoring. 

07/01/2006
I will suspend new development for the remainder of this year.  I want to spend more time on other projects I am working on.  I will continue to monitor the system, setup new accounts, email invoices, and correct any severe issues.

06/04/2006
The new Point of Sale(POS) module is online.   The POS terminal is an AJAX web application and uses inventory sales items for the menu and payment processing through the Payment Gateway sandbox.

05/06/2006
Added a new Payment Gateway sandbox for processing payments.  This will allow further development of automated payment processing features for customer accounts.

03/24/2006
CoreVI has a new ticket component that allow users to report existing problem.  It will also create a ticket when the application display an error page.  This will provide faster notification of problems and document details to help me solve the issues.

02/26/2006
Accounts Receivable has a new Batch Receipts option that allows you to enter several payments at once.  These payments can be posted later as a complete batch and applied to each customers account automatically.

01/29/2006
Receivable Payments can now be posted to an account without applying invoices.  At a later date you can edit the payment and apply outstanding invoices.

11/21/2005
Happy Thanksgiving.  The Billing module has been added to handle recurring billing for services.  Other support feature to help in the future include table for documents, task scheduler and customer login based on email addresses.

07/16/2005
Changed the transaction billing from a database connection to an EDI invoice transfer.  This will allow local installations to send transactions to a secured server.  In other words, this application could be installed in your intranet and still bill transactions to the CoreVI system.  You still pay only for  what you use.

07/02/2005
Added a new entry on the overview screen for the number of orders pending invoice.

02/10/2005
Fixed some errors with new users, partial order, and display issues between Netscape and IE.  Also successfully closed the year 2004.  With a few more users, we can start the year of right.

09/04/2004
Here is version 24.  There is a new overview page that is displayed when you first login.  I also added serial numbers when picking a sales order and receiving a purchase order with serialized items.  We are now in maintenance mode.  I have no major changes left to add and I am now working on any errors or omissions I may have made and your  recommended enhancements.

08/01/2004
Version 23.  The major change was to integrate a database connection pool.  This will allow more users to access the system at the same time and preserve a fix number of database connections for our paying customers.  This also enabled me to add a new scheduled task feature.  The schedule task will allow you to run lengthy processes in background or even off-line. Then view the result page on your next visit.


07/17/2004

Version 21.  Added the EDI transfers of XML documents.  Added the help system but still need to author the context.  Made a major revision to orders and invoices in AR,AP,SO, and PO.  The change was to allow you to edit an order or invoice after it is added.  Sales items 1, 2, and 3 in the demo system are ordered on a regular basis now.  This will generate traffic to highlight several features.  I also populated the city, state, and zipcode tables.

06/19/2004
Happy Father's Day.  Version 19 is the Purchase Order module.  Functions include automatic and manual purchase orders, confirm orders, receive orders, and post received orders to Accounts Payable.

06/05/2004
Version 18 adds the shipping address to the Sales Orders and Invoices.  Next will be the Purchase Order Module.  I have also been doing some tests with EDI transfers of XML documents.  I may add these transfers after PO is complete.

06/01/2004
Version 17 is the first release of the Sales Order module.  There are quotes, orders that commit inventory, pick ticket that reduce inventory, and invoices that update the Accounts Receivable module.  Shipping address still need work.


05/09/2004

Happy Mothers Day. Version 16 has only one database change and some code corrections.  It also contains a new help
system that will display text files from the docs directory.  This week I will begin the Sales Order module.

05/03/2004
Version 15.  I have been out of town for the past two weeks and have not spent much time on the application.  I
added a new table and screen called Movements.  This is the function of moving items from one location to another.  I
have also added a process and will simulate orders.  This will reduce the inventory on a regular basis.  I will setup three
inventory items to illustrate the features of above and below expectations report.

04/18/2004
Version 14.  The Inventory module is ready for testing.  Added the email report function to all reports.

04/03/2004
Fixed an error caused when using an unknown database name during login.  Added an extra street field to the address for AR and AP accounts.  Also changed the default demo database name to 'demo'.  Secured Server link will redirect to the secured server at the Software Domain, Inc..

03/28/2004
In the 'Print Table' options, the 'Email Report' link on the bottom of the report will now email an html copy of the report to the current user's email address.  This was a proof of concept test and will be implemented on reports as the need arise.

03/21/2004
Finished the reports and monthly close.  I also added the billing function that will post the transactions processed to the billing account for later invoice to the customer.  The check register is left in Payables then I will move on to Inventory module.

03/07/2004
Added a secured web server.  It's another layer of protection for you and your information.  Now all your transactions including login id and passwords can be encrypted between our servers and your browser.  Just use the https: protocol.

02/29/2004
Lots to talk about. The majority of AP is online. Vendors, Invoices, and Payment are in place. Generated check number, voiding checks, reports, and the monthly close are in process now. Some new features are the redesigned menu and return to original page after you login again when your session expires.

02/01/2004
  Here is the Accounts Receivable module.  This month I will begin the Accounts Payable module.  I expect to have an update ready in 2 or 3 weeks.

01/18/2004
  Added Statements, Aging Report, and Monthly Close to Accounts Receivable module.  Also added format for currency in both General Ledger and Accounts Receivable.  I will continue to review and test these modules for the remainder of this month.  Then I hope to clone Accounts Receivable into Accounts Payable module.

01/04/2004
Happy New Year.  Accounts Receivable module is in place.  There are functions for adding transactions and payments as well as printing and processing both.  Processing invoices debit accounts receivable and payment credit accounts receivable.  The aging report and statements will be the next functions to work on.  The main menu is getting full, many new options.  I may need to create module menus for each module with the main menu listing each module menu.

12/21/2003
The General Ledger now has both summary and detail reports.  Summary include the general accounts and detail include the detail accounts.  We have also added a popup lookup window for account numbers.  This will also be extended to the rest of the modules.  You may notice a 'Email Report' link at the bottom of some reports.  This is an additional feature that will allow the users to send reports directly to their email address on record.  This provides a way to keep your reports until you can print them or maintain electronic reports for your records.  Finishing touches will be made to the GL module and database through the end of the year.  Next month we will focus on the AR and AP modules.  Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

12/06/2003
Two weeks have past.  The General Ledger Reports that are now in place required other functions to be working before testing could start.  So closing transactions, closing the month and closing the year needed to be added.  Also changes to the chart of account were made to support debit/credit normal balance accounts and company information was modified to include the various account numbers.  The extra week was used to pull all these together.

11/23/2003
More general housekeeping options were added to allow you to control who has access to which pages.  As you know, pages are restricted by clicking on the 'Restrict Page' link on any page.  There is now a maintenance program to remove restriction from pages if required.  There are also user and role maintenance options.  These will allow you to create new role that have access to the restricted pages.  Then a user can be assigned roles that the will allow the user to access restricted pages.

11/16/2003
The main menu was reorganized to reflect the order of development and view more options on the first screen.  There are also new menu options in each module to display the database tables.  These menus list the available table and display the raw values stored in your tables.  The General Ledger transactions are also available.  Transactions are not recorded to the database until the entire transaction is saved.  Transactions can be posted, printed, and processed and will reflect changes in the Trial Balance.  A new menu bar has been added to each page to record the depth within the menus and provided a quick way to navigate.

11/09/2003
Started working on the General Ledger this week.  Added functions to insert, update, and delete from the Chart of Accounts, as well as print the Chart of Account.  Security was also developed to allow you to restrict any page.  Restricting a page will allow you to continue accessing the page, but will deny access of that page to others.  To allow others to access the restricted page, you must assign a role to the user that has access to this page.  You could also create a new role with access to this page for a specific user or a group of users that share the same role.

11/01/2003
The first part of Core Online Accounting was brought online. These are the login functions. You can login as an existing user or create a new account. Accounts are valid for 90 days.
