On the inventory entry screen—if negative
units are entered, a negative value will not be calculated.
6)
A basis column was added to livestock inventory input screen.
Version 2.0.6
The notepad file was not being backed up or restored. Version 2.06 corrects
this.
Version 2.0.5
A problem was discovered with the Balance Sheet Reports. The account code
balances were not getting updated if changes are made to the inventory without
first inspecting or editing the account code screen. Version 2.05 corrects this
problem. NOTE: This only affects Accrual Basis Accounting installations, NOT
Cash Basis Accounting installations.
Version 2.0.4
This pertains to printing Y-T-D information on the paycheck stub. We changed it
so that all bonus and/or withholding line item totals from previous checks would
be printed even though there was some missing bonus and/or withholding line
items on the current check. Some people wanted this done.
The date shown when restoring previous version (1.0-1.2) set of books was
incorrect. The correct date is now shown.
Version 2.0.3
This is applicable only if you are updating from Pc Mars for Windows Lite, or Pc
Mars for Windows version 1.0. We fixed a problem in the "Move Set of Books"
Utility. On Windows 95 and 98 operating system, the sets of books were not being
moved properly. This version fixes this.
A change was made to the Year End Detail Report when enterprise subtotals are
called for. The program now prints enterprise subtotals even if there is only
one line item for an enterprise. Note that this was not a fix to a problem, but
some people preferred the report to read this way.
Version 2.0.2
A problem occurs on old sets of books -- blank withholding descriptions and/or
account codes are used if the user does not examine payroll general information
before entering new paychecks. The program now checks for blank withholding
descriptions and/or account codes and fills it with default information.
On the "Calculate Paycheck Detail" screen, when using the "Calculate Gross from
Net" feature the program would not recalculate Social Security and Medicare if a
change is typed into any other withholding input boxes. The updated program will
now recalculate Social Security and Medicare in that case.
On the updated program, a "Reset Values" button was added on the "Calculate
Paycheck Detail" screen to make the screen more user friendly. We also made it
so that when you are editing existing paychecks and bring up the "Calculate
Paycheck Detail" screen, the values are not recalculated until you press the
"Reset Values" button or make a change into one of the input boxes.
A problem was fixed where a "Share violation" error was sometimes received when
making a new set of books.
Version 2.0.1
The "Optional FICA Report - Liabilities and Deposit" gave an incorrect figure
for the "Social Security, Both Shares" line (third line from the bottom). This
was fixed.
On the "Calculate Paycheck Detail" screen, the "Net Check" figure was in error
if you typed in changes into any of the withholdings boxes. Even though the "Net
Check" figure might have been wrong, the correct figure was always placed into
the underlying paycheck screen. The problem was corrected.
A problem was discovered on check writing using Deluxe #081004 checks. Only one
stub was printed instead of two. This occurs when "Deluxe #081004" is showing in
the "Check Style" box. If only "#081004" is showing it prints OK. This problem
can be corrected by just clicking on the "#081004" in the drop down list, so
that only "081004" is showing in the box, instead of "Deluxe #081004". The
updated program will work in either case.
A change was also made so that when old sets of books are opened up, the old
account code used for combined FICA withholding is now used for Social Security
and Medicare Withholding, instead of default code 217. This would only be
problem if the account used for FICA was other than the normal default code of
217.
