of Reports

Are you tired of killing trees ?  Do you wish your printer could just not run out of toner or paper at the most inopportune times ?

Would you rather view your reporting structure on a computer screen, store it in an Adobe Acrobat
™ document on your local server / pc, or even burn a pdf report to a rewritable CD, rather than printing out and sorting through reams of paper ?

Imagine running your month end process, without the worry of running out of paper or toner !  Simply double click on a shortcut to a shared folder on your Activefax server that sits on your computer desktop - and read / retrieve / or print any report you need - even print just the pages you need using the free Adobe Acrobat Software ™

Realtime Software - Enhancement and Resolution Listings

Please feel free to visit our website at anytime and download the current version 6.33 Release Notes - listing all Enhancements and Resolutions applied to the most recent version of the Realtime Software Business System Software

This Months Enhancement Highlight Feature

Realtime - New Audit Control Listing !

One of the recent additions to the Software Package included the ability to utilize a new 'U' change line option for 'User Information'.  This option allows users to view a quick audit listing of which personnel accessed most Maintenance Feature programs (ie - Inventory Maintenance, Customer Master Maintenance, Vendor Master Maintenance, etc...) , and also Order Entry/Adjustments, as well as Purchase Order Entry/Adjustments programs. See below for an example of an Open Order User Listing

 

In the above example, we can see that user Scotty entered this order, adjusted it the first time, Billed the order out, credited, adjusted it a second time, then re-billed it, etc.

Utilizing the new Audit feature capabilities within the software package, you will be able to not only view the above quick style listing in the Open Order Inquiry Program, but actually drill down to actual changed details utilizing a new change line option - AU which stands for Audit Listing. 

This new Audit Listing tracks individual changes made to Heading Records - ie - Shipping Address, Order Type, Ship via, SLM1, SLM2, Purchase Order Number and numerous other items.  Line Item changes are tracked as well - allowing administrators to view the type of information necessary to track down individual line item changes - even when a line item has been changed multiple times !  Some example line item changes that are tracked are Qty. changes, Selling Price changes, Serial Number changes or additions, Text information addition or changes, and much more !  See below for an example of an Open Order User Header Audit Listing where the numerous items have been changed.  (see Old Value  -vs-  New Value)

BUT WAIT - - - As if that wasn't enough -

PLEASE NOTE: It's not just the Open Order Inquiry that allows these audit change detail listings -

The new Audit features outlining changes made include, but are not limited to the following:

Customer Master / Inventory Master / Vendor Master / most all Background Tables - ie Salesman Master, Tax Codes, Bank Tables, Chart Of Accounts, Open Orders, Purchase Orders, and much more !

Take control of your system - track all of your changes, and get more answers to your auditing questions with the new Audit Control functionality of the Realtime Software Package Today !
