Accounting Module

 

Bank Reconciliation

 

maestro* > Accounting > Financial Management > Bank Reconciliation > Bank Reconciliation

 

197694

Improvement made so as not to consider the non-significant zeros and spaces that may be present to the left of the cheque number during the electronic bank conciliation with the Caisse Populaire Desjardins.

Bank reconciliation allows users to import an electronic bank reconciliation file, automating the reconciliation process. The system scans the file and searches for any outstanding cheques with the same number and whose amount matches the amount indicated in the reconciliation file. If such a cheque is found, it is automatically reconciled.

In the case of Desjardins, the cheque numbers present in the electronic reconciliation file were automatically supplemented with non-significant zeros to the left of the number, to obtain a fixed cheque number length of 6 characters. Since the numbers were not completely identical to those recorded in maestro*, they were rejected and not reconciled.

 

Projects Module

 

Project Dispatch

 

maestro* > Projects > Project Costing > Dispatch > Project Dispatch

 

165491

Modification made so that equipment linked to an employee is always copied with their assignment.

 

Define Work Order Types

 

maestro* > Projects > Maintenance > Work Orders > Define Work Order Types

 

167156

Modification made to avoid deleting the work order type while in use.

 

Pivotal Project Analysis by Period

 

maestro* > Projects > Pivotal Project Analysis by Period > Projects > Pivotal Analysis by Period

 

196535

Modification made in a multidimensional environment to filter the analysis of pivotal projects by period according to the selected prefix.

 

Change Order Management

 

maestro* > Projects > Change Orders > Change Order > Change Order Management

 

197619

Improvement made to allow reusing frequently used descriptions in the detail grid of change orders.

This development aimed to enable the reuse of frequent descriptions in the Details tab of change orders. IntelliSense technology has been added to the Description column, enabling the automatic creation of a reusable, alphabetically sorted list based on user-entered values.

 

Enter Work Order

 

maestro* > Projects > Work Orders > Processing > Enter Work Order

 

US-62386

Improvement made to display work orders in the Completed section according to the user who created them.

In maestro*’s work orders, there was only one field to record the user who had created the work order and the user who had modified it.

This meant that work orders created in maestro*MOBILE and displayed in the Completed section were no longer visible to mobile users if another user connected to maestro* and saved the work order. The system replaced the mobile user's code with that of the maestro* user who had saved the work order.

 

Time Management Module

 

Compile Project Hours and Compile and Load Project Hours

 

maestro* > Time Management > Project Time > Reports > Compile Project Hours

maestro* > Time Management > Payroll > Payroll > Compile Project Hours

maestro* > Time Management > U.S. Payroll > U.S. Payroll > Compile Project Hours

maestro* > Time Management > Payroll > Payroll > Compile and Load Project Hours

maestro* > Time Management > U.S. Payroll > U.S. Payroll > Compile and Load Project Hours

 

196889

Improvement made to be able to select multiple groups in the parameter selection window.

This development originated from a customer request to be able to select multiple groups in the parameters for Compiling Project Hours and Compile and Load Project Hours, as is the case for the Compile Daily Entry Hours option.

 

Invoicing Module

 

Customer Statement

 

maestro* > Invoicing > Invoicing > Processing > Customer Statement

maestro* > Invoicing > Contractual Billing > Audit > Customer Statement

 

191359

Modification made to sort advances based on the current prefix in a multidimensional context.

 

Purchasing Module

 

Batch Project Purchase

 

maestro* > Purchasing > Purchasing > Purchasing > Batch Project Purchase

 

176295

Modification made to the import of batch project purchases to comply with the taxes mentioned in the Excel file, apply the discounts, and maintain the arrangement of the lines in the project purchase.

 

Physical Inventory Count

 

maestro* > Purchasing > Inventory > Processing > Physical Inventory Count

maestro* > Purchasing > Maintenance > Inventory Closing > Physical Inventory Count

 

192302

Improvement made to perform a physical inventory for Kit-type items when the general setting Activate automatic component selection is enabled.

When the Activate automatic component selection configuration is activated, it is possible to keep kits in inventory. It is, therefore, possible to requisition, order, receive, invoice, use, and adjust a part with the Kit status. The only thing missing was the ability to perform a physical inventory count for kits.

Procurement Management (MRP 1)

 

maestro* > Purchasing > Purchasing > Procurement > Procurement Management (MRP 1)

 

191755

Improvement made to allow the processing of several sites simultaneously by adding a Master Site to the various sites to be processed.

192651

Modification made to the processing of requisitions for which catalogue orders are created by transferring them from the Procurement Management option so that requisition lines with a point and description that follow an inventory code are included in the order created.

193257

Modification made so that, following the application of the grid items selection to create an order or to reserve or transfer checked items, the items disappear from the grid after processing to be able to continue with the other items displayed in the grid.

 

Maintenance Module

 

Outlook Email Import

 

maestro* > Maintenance > General Maintenance > Document Management > Outlook Email Import

 

201246

Modification made to eliminate the error message obtained when performing an import with an attachment in a supplier's document.

 

Maestro*

 

Grid in SQL Mode in Version 3.05 Pervasive

203284

Modification made to display again the column headers which had disappeared.

 

 

Maestro*MOBILE Service Interface

 

 

maestro*MOBILE > Service

 

201030

Modification made so as not to see the time of equipment linked to an employee in the mobile application when the time is added through the Return from a Service Call option in maestro*.

202554

Modification made to no longer receive an error message if the technician is working on a work order assignment that has been set to the Approved status.
