Adding Calculated Fields to Order Forms
If you have a current copy of CCRQInvoice you can add calculated fields to the form. Today I’ll give a brief demonstration on how to create fields that involve simple calculations based on other fields. In my example, I want to add a “deposit” statement that tells my client that they need to provide a 50% deposit on the order.
Adding Your Logo in CCRQInvoice
You can print your invoices, sales orders and estimates with CCRQInvoice . We provide a form editor that lets you design your own form. Here is a quick article on how to add your company logo to a custom invoice form.
CCRQInvoice and Windows Vista
If you are using version 3.2.0 through 3.3.1 of CCRQInvoice you may have difficulty in running the program on a computer running Windows Vista if you log in with more than one user account. The first user account will work correctly, but when you try to run from a second user account from the same computer you will get a Windows error saying that the program could not run. This is due to a security protection feature in Windows Vista.
Version 3.3.1.1 resolves this problem – you can download it from our web site now. Please install it to the same program folder as you used before. The installation program will first uninstall the older program, and then will install the newer program. No further changes are needed.
Please note that if you have version 3.0.1.0 or older you must first uninstall the original program using your Windows Control Panel first, before installing the new program.
If you have any questions please don’t hesitate to ask, either in comments here or by emailing our technical support department.
CCRQInvoice Speed Fix
For those of you who downloaded the 3.1.0.0 release of CCRQInvoice, please go to our download page and download the latest copy. Some users of 3.1.0.0 found that some operations, such as sorting, ran considerably slower with the new release.
CCRQInvoice Update – version 3.1
It’s Here! CCRQInvoice Version 3.1 is available through our download web page. If you are a registered user of the product you can upgrade to this version for no additional fee.
We’ve talked about the new features in prior postings, so I won’t repeat that here. I do, however, want to point out a few things about the upgrade process. Some of these might sound like picky details, but some of our testing sites were confused by them…
CCRQInvoice: Calculated Quantity
The ability to calculate the quantity in an invoice based on the difference between two values is one of the new features in CCRQInvoice. Today I’ll give you a quick look at this new feature.
CCRQInvoice Updates
A major update of CCRQInvoice will be released on July 15 2008. All registered users can upgrade to this release at no additional charge.
This release is compatible with the US editions of QuickBooks Pro and Premier, 2006 through 2008, as well as the QuickBooks Enterprise 6.0 through 8.0. At this time we do not support any non-US versions of QuickBooks, although it might be compatible with the 2008 Canadian and UK editions (this has not been tested).
QuickBooks 2005 Sunset Won’t Affect CCRSoftware Products
Intuit announced that the 2005 versions of QuickBooks will “sunset” on May 31st – which means that many services will no longer work for you if you are using that version. I’ve discussed this in my Practical QuickBooks blog if this affects you.
How does it affect your CCRSoftware products? No Problem! Any CCRSoftware (or Computer Consulting Resources) product that worked with QuickBooks Premier 2005 or Enterprise 5.0 will continue to work with the 2009 releases without any changes necessary on your part. We design our products so that they should always be compatible with future releases of QuickBooks.
CCRQPurchase: Call for Test Sites
Many of you who use our CCRQInvoice product to sort invoices, or add weights and quantities, have asked for an equivalent program for purchase orders. Today I’m announcing the start of a “beta test” (field test) program for CCRQPurchase, which addresses purchase orders.
Filters in CCRQInvoice
Filters in the “grid” display in CCRQInvoice can be used to make selections of orders quite easy. A question from a customer about a possible feature made me realize that some people don’t know how this can be used. Here is a quick example.
