Some new reports have been added to Financial -> VAT to emulate the existing Vatbook summary, Analysis Code, Payment reports.

Changes to EnServe are now in a separate set of release notes.

This, and changes to it, are covered in the Admin Login FAQ http://www.premvet.co.uk/premvet/faq/adlog.html

Normally, in estimates, the system will skip any {text} entries on AP codes and Stock items - you don't really want to be forced to add a temperature etc. on an estimate. The only bracket option that can now be used is {} where nothing is forced.

Re-Worked - See: http://www.premvet.co.uk/premvet/faq/labmail.html

You will need to put the new .deliver script in place if you want to take advantage of this.

The PDSA Work Done report that updates the 'PDSA' records card - this used to use analysis code '246' to add the work done - this analysis code clashes with Bad Debt Write off. The PDSA report will now use analysis code 217 which is classed as 'Special.

When generating Glucose graphs the system will add times to the graphs where possible. The Time option has been disable when doing Glucose. The 'Current' option will graph the LAST 12 readings and not go back more than 36hrs (from the last recording). The 'Optimum' option is now a little more generic as it can also be used to add normal range values.

An additional 10 telephone numbers have been added to to the record card. The 1st two numbers are preset (Mobile and Fax) the others can be called anything you want. You add a params.txt entry:

    Telephone = Desc 1, Desc 2, Desc 3, Desc 4, ......

If the Telephone entry is present it will add the names AFTER the 1st two. e.g.
Telephone = Work, Day, Night will give you 5 descriptions Mobile, Fax, Work, Day and Night.

Tip:	If you want to blank out the 'un-used' entries then just add commas (,) at the end.

You can edit these numbers by:

• Pressing F1 when editing the existing (Primary) number.

• Using the Additional Screen 'N'umber option (see below),

The new telephone numbers will be exported to Datamajor (Client table: Mobile_Number, Fax_Number, Telephone_2, Telephone_3 .... Telephone_9)

They are available in definition files as
&MOBILE, &FAX, &TE2, &TE3 ... &TE9

They will cross update to other sites.

Both the Fax and Mobile numbers are available if using the automatic link to Windows documents.

When going to the 'Additional' screen the default will be to show the status codes on the right as before. If you would prefer the system to default to showing the Telephone numbers then add:

Additional_Right = Phone

to params.txt. You can switch between Status and Telephone with the two options 'S'tatus and 'P'hone on the prompt line.

The prompt line on the additional screen will change depending on what is displayed on the right. If the Telephone numbers are displayed you will not have the 'Lock' option but you will have 'Number' (allows editing of the numbers). If the Status Code information is displayed you cannot use the 'Number' option to change the number - you have to switch first.

The Telephone list on the Additional screen, as the Primary number on Small Animal records could be up to 40 characters in length, only the first 25 will be displayed on this screen. You cannot edit the 'Primary' number from the Additional screen.

Stock Control -> Report: The Web list will generate an html page price.html) with all the selected products in it. It will include Description (if the card contains a URL then the the description will be hyper-linked to it), Selling Price, Supplier Reference and any data sheet information.

• Some typos on the Stock Order Summary have been fixed.

• The Stock Order Summary will include columns for VAT and Gross.

• Using the spooler 'Archive' option - a problem with same spool jobs overwriting themselves has been fixed.

• Fax option has been added to the 'Send' sub-menu on animal attachments. This can only currently handle the 'text' mime type.

• The &( meta-character can be used in stock sub-units to hide comments.

• Stock Sub-Units - Minimum amount. If the minimum you sell a product in is say 1 unit, if you add >1 to the sub-unit line the system will not allow sales less than that - one will be sold and destocked. Likewise, >.5 will limit the minimum to half a unit. A > without a quantity will be taken as one.

• Setting 'Default_Recall = yes' in params.txt will cause the system to default to the Vaccination screen when displaying the animal record card.

• Setting 'Date_Block = XX' in params.txt will block staff back dating work past a certain point. That is, setting, Date_Block=5 will only allow work to be backdated into last month BEFORE the 5th of the current month.

• Recall CSV file - three new fields added. Surgery number, Site Name and Site reference.

• Automatic Pricing - Price Method 7 - this is the same as method 1 but will add the prices to the 'Drugs' column.
