What’s New in Passport 12.02
Passport has been an evolving product for a number of years, and here are some of these latest enhancements that have been included in version 12.02…
Extended Graphics – Graphical Menus have been extended to most of the menus and report input screens.
Passport SQL – Separate Databases are now created per company, and under normal circumstances, no configuration files will need to be manually manipulated when more than one company is to be created, or updated.
NCR CounterPoint to PBS SQL – Accounting Interface Enhancements. There is now a direct interface between NCR CounterPoint for A/P and G/L activity. Once and interface process is initiated; a working copy of the data file being interfaced is made; the original is deleted on the CounterPoint side of the system. After the import has been successfully completed, the working copy is automatically date-time stamped and moved to a backup folder. The import function also now allows importing new transactions into existing open batches.
Print to Disk – New Graphical Menu automatically displays the first 10 lines of a highlighted report. Reports can now be output from this area as either Text, PDF or HTML formats. An increase the fixed number of reports that can printed to the Print To Disk Index (currently at 9,999) is planned early 2013.
Breakout Disabling – The "Breakout" feature can now be disabled for the entire application, by simply setting one flag in a configuration file.
Restrictions to Admin documentation. – Non-"Admin" users are restricted from viewing administrative level
Passport help documentation.
Accounts Payable – New "Pay To" file – Is used on all checks. Search and Sort features are improved.

General Ledger – Next Year Financial Statements can be run even when a year has not been closed. Under this new feature, Passport actually does a Trial Year End Close. This allows Financial Statements (with Prior Year Comparatives) to printed without having permanently closing the year.
Multi-Pay – Full Credit Card usage is support in A/R Invoices, A/R Cash Receipts, O/E Orders and Invoices,
POS Invoices. XCharge is now used for this function. Some features are:
-

Capture is at Point of Invoicing.
