Travelog World 1.11 Updates. Change Notes
2011/01/12
- Charges/credits entry: fixed error 91 "Object or with block variable not set" when moving document to another batch.
2011/01/12
- Land rates search and Codes maintenance (service rates) could error (440) due to an incorrect version of the RichTx32.OCX ActiveX Control. Fixed.
2010/10/19
- GST Reporting - previous version always used the current GST rate for reports. Program now uses the GST rate which applies for the period of the report. Also, the program now does not allow a GST report on a period in which two different GST rates apply (i.e. a period which crosses a GST rate change date)
- Invoice Prep & Print - saving an invoice, if the invoice could not be saved due to an invalid field (e.g. date closed for posting) the Save button would remain greyed out, meaning that the user could not save the document even after correcting the problem. Fixed.
- TS Land Window - changing Type of Sale (ToS) on an existing line from GST applies to GST zero-rated or vice versa, the wrong GST-on-Markup value might be stored. In particular, changing from domestic to international, the GST on markup value probably would have been given a non-zero value, when it should have been zeroed. Fixed.
- TS Invoicing - if a trip line had an invalid creditor key (e.g. 0) due to shortcomings in other modules, and the user did not modify the invoice line to set a valid creditor before saving, the program would error on saving: "a related record is required in 'CR_Master'". Program now correctly saves no creditor on the invoice and does not error.
- TS Pay Supplier:
- Paying by Cheque Req, paying a line to which GST applies, if some or all of it were paid by Credit Cart, the total GST would be incorrect. In particular if the line was entirely paid by CC, the tax value would be double what it should have been. Fixed.
- If Markup GST was erroneously present on a transaction, e.g. due to the bug in Land Window, it was propagated to back office documents. Markup GST on costing records is now ignored and always recalculated based on whether GST applies to the transaction (based on ToS) or not.
- TS Quick Booking Completion - internal changes, various small bugs fixed, harmonised with Pay Supplier.
2010/09/29
- Charge/Credits Reporting - previously the report was hard-coded for a GST rate of 12.5%. The report now uses the appropriate GST rate for the date range selected.
2010/09/28
- System Control Maintenance:
- Enhanced to maintain new list of GST rates/effective dates.
- fixed bug: Sales analysis "GST on Gross" and "GST on Commission" tick boxes were saved the wrong way around (gross tick box affected commission flag, commission tick box affected gross flag).
- Global Routines and TWorld Registry - Enhanced to make available the new GST rates/effective dates.
- Most back office entry and list/update programs, Travel Services, TS invoicing, Pay Supplier and Land window - Enhanced to allow for GST rate transition. In particular, in the document entry screens and Pay Supplier, when adding or modifying a document, changing the document date may change the GST rate which applies, and when reversing a document the user is prevented from creating the reversal on a date (i.e. today) with a different GST rate to the original document.
- Passenger maintenance (back office, opens from client, profile and debtor maintenance) - now uses 12 years instead of 17 years as the lower bound for 'adult' passenger type.
- BSP Entry - added "Move to Batch" menu option, as is already present in e.g. Non-BSP Entry
- Cheque List/update - changes to cure "invalid bookmark" error following a list/update.
- Invoice List/update:
- Fixed bug: invoice to a GL with a discount where GST applies, the GST on discount was being handled incorrectly. GST transaction was for total GST (before discount) and trans to selected GL account had total discount (including GST on discount) subtracted from invoice amount. Now, GST on discount (if any) is correctly subtracted from GST transaction, and gst-exclusive discount is now subtracted from gst-exclusive invoice value on the transaction to the selected GL account.
- when Update is ticked, if the batch and control totals do not match, user is now given the option of updating the total automatically as with other list/updates.
- possible "invalid bookmark" error fixed.
- Non-BSP List/Update:
- Fixed bug: Ticket to a debtor with both cash and cc amounts and to which GST applies and with amounts entered GST-inclusive, wrong balance added to debtor master account.
- Fixed bug: Ticket with both cash and CC amounts and to which GST applies but values are entered GST-exclusive: GL client/debtor control account may get hit with a different amount than the client or debtor ledger. Whereas the client or debtor ledger transactions determine GST on cash as the total GST less calculated GST on CC collection, the GL determined GST on cash as the calculated GST on cash collection. Due to rounding or manually over-ridden total GST on Gross, this would lead to different results and mismatch between subsidiary ledger and control totals. GL now determines GST on cash the same way as the client and debtor ledger transactions.
- Receipt Entry:
- Voucher matching screen: right clicking on a line immediate selects/highlights the line before showing the context menu. Previously user had to click line to select, then right click to show the menu in two separate actions.
- Supplier receipt: Voucher Commission or Other Commission: when GST applies the "GST Inclusive" tick box is now always ticked (and disabled). While unticking the box in previous version had no apparent effect on the entry, once saved the "original sale total" would have shown an incorrect value.
- Receipt List/Update: Fixed bug: system sales analysis flags for "GST on Commission" and "GST on Gross" were not always respected.
- Travel Services - now allows for the full 50 characters in mailing options, instead of restricting to 16.
- Note: Voucher List/Transfer and GST Reporting are not yet aware of the new GST transition feature. GST Reporting will be updated soon. Voucher list/transfer is obselete, is no longer maintained, and should not be used.
2010/03/05
- All CRS exports - in previous versions a bug caused passengers who were children now but would become adults before the trip departure date, to be exported to the CRS as children instead of as adults. This bug is fixed.
- Amadeus Import - seat numbers beginning with zero, e.g. 05B, were not imported due to a bug. They now are.
2009/12/14
- Cheque Entry - fixes various problems with account code on the Admin tab, including GL account code lost from reversals, incorrect agency sometimes saved in multiagency sites. Ctrl+TAB and Ctrl+Shift+TAB now cycle through the five entry tabs.
- Cheque and Receipt List/Update - improvements to error reporting in some circumstances. When called to update one batch only (e.g. from bank charges and interest entry, in bank reconciliation) the program now handles more gracefully the case when the batch cannot be updated for any reason.
- Invoice reports - corrects problem with the exchange rate calculation
- GL Trial Balance - corrects problem where negative values were shown with both brackets "()" and minus "-" symbols. Now only one or the other, according to user preference, is shown.
- Also includess new EK E class description, "Economy Class Seating".
2009/12/02
- Pay Supplier, and Quick Booking Completion - now use the issue date from the air passenger pricing, if there is one, when creating new BSP tickets. Previously, the ticket issue date always defaulted to today's date.
- Travel Services - new options in Tools, Options, to disable the new issue date functionality in Pay Supplier and QBC.
- Air Window - issue date box can now be cleared. Previously, once an issue date had been entered, user could only change the date, not clear it
2009/11/25
- Travel Services Invoicing - where airfare taxes were present, wording in the generated invoice has been changed from "Government Imposed Airfare Taxes" to "Ticket Taxes, Levies and Surcharges"
2009/11/17
- A bug introduced in the previous version of Galileo import stopped ticket numbers from being imported. Bug is fixed in this version. There is no workaround.
- A bug in the new Ticketing fee/cc fee importing prevented any importing of those fees from Galileo. Bug is fixed in this version. There is no workaround.
- Client details phone fields are now exported to Amadeus in the correct format: "APB-xxxxx", "APH-xxxxx" etc, and are found and imported from Amadeus AIR files in the new format.
2009/11/13
- Amadeus, Galileo and Sabre Imports - now attempts to import ticketing fees and CC fees ("OB") if present. New feature can be disabled with tick-box 'Import Ticketing Fees' in Travel Services, Tools, Options, on the Import/Export tab, but is enabled by default.
2009/10/15
- Mailing Production - Added new source 'Bookings' which draws data from booked Travel Services trips. While some of the fields are the same as the existing 'Quote' source, there are a number of useful additional fields: Trip Days Away and Passenger-Days Away (Trip Days Away multiplied by the number of flying passengers on the trip); a number of "Detail - .." fields which come from the Air Passenger Pricing lines and Land, Insurance and Other Inclusions trip lines, including selling price and cost to client (including any markup), commission and non-commissionable amounts, type of sale, document/ticket number and passenger name (from air pax pricing lines only).
2009/10/02
- SABRE import - now recognises "CNE" as indicating a child fare. Previously assumed it was an adult fare which gave unexpected results, for example creating a ticket for each adult, having the child fare, and not creating a ticket for the child or children.
- Amadeus import - Previous version may have imported an exchange ticket with the old ticket number instead of the new one, where the AIR file had both a T- ticket number line and an FH hand ticket number line, the former having the new tkt nbr, the latter having the old. New version handles this scenario correctly
- Quick Booking Completion - previous version errored when producing documents (Quote, SoA, Confirmation, Itinerary) with "Unable to open database in ProcessAll_Error". Fixed. New version produces documentation using the default document formats (i.e. original Times New Roman, or Arial) selected in Tools, Options in Travel Services and should not now raise that error.
2009/09/30
- New version of SABRE import now correctly reads times (e.g. flight departure and arrival times) whether they are in 24 hour ("1900") or 12 hour (" 700P") format.
2009/09/28
- Updated all Travel Services reports in Arial font (Quote, Confirmation, Statement of Account and Itinerary)
- Added new Mailing Production fields. In the Travel Services option: Transaction Due Date, Transaction Land Confirmation Number, Transaction Commission Amount. In the Client Trip option: Date Trip Created. In Client Profile option: Date Profile Created.
