Project #2606   Payroll Punch In/Out Option

We have added a "Punch In/Out" option to Riata Payroll.  To use this feature, setup the User Edit ‘ PAYROLL-ENTRY  PUNCH-IN-OUT. 

Setup User Edit

Field 1 = PAYROLL-ENTRY                                         

Field 2 = PUNCH-IN-OUT

Field 3 through 8 = Leave Blank

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Once the User Edit is setup, you will need to make sure there are default Types setup for the Users that will be using the Punch In/Out option.  To setup default types, from the Punch In/Out screen shown here, click on the ‘Accounting Time Entry’ button.  Complete details and step in setting up Payroll Defaults was explained in Request #2577 in Program Change 06/06/07.  Search in Riata Help under ‘Payroll / Load Default Time’.

 

Once the User Edit and Defaults are setup, when an employee selects ‘Payroll Time Entry’ from the Riata Programs Menu, the following screen will be displayed.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

- The employee will select a Type, then click on Punch In.

                                                     

- Example shown here is ‘Regular’ Type.

 

Once the employee click on Punch In, the following message will be displayed and then Payroll Time Entry will close.

They will enter the number of hours for that Type. 

For Example; 8.00 = 8 hours for Vacation. 

 

The system will accept the hours entered and a message will be displayed similar to the following Vacation Example Used.

 

 

 

 

 

 

The next time the Employee selects ‘Payroll Time Entry’ from the Riata Programs Menu, they will have the Punch In screen. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Project #3048   Own Toll Carrier User Edit

We have created a new User Edit call ‘OWN-TOLL-CARRIER’ to allow you to add additional Own Toll Carriers. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Setup User Edit

Field 1 = OWN-TOLL-CARRIER

Project # 3092     Cash Receipts Close Out / Credit Card & Other Option   

We have added a Check Box on the Cash Receipts – ‘Close Out’ Screen just above the Credit Card / Other list.  

When this box is checked, the ‘Cash Close Out’ printout will display all Money Type Details and Totals. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

When the check-box is Un-Checked, the Credit Card /Other Detail in the list will Not be printed. ‘Other’ will still be displayed on the Printout Total section.  The Close Out screen will default the box checked.

                - Options to Print & Send to Excel are also available.

 

 

 

 

Project #3240    Drop-Down List Added to Inventory Detail  

We have added a new Dropdown List to the Inventory Sales Item Detail screen.  This will be used when Inventory is Returned into a different Location than it was sold from and if there is no default Location setup for the Computer doing the Return. 

 

The System pulls in the Location based on where Inventory that is sold is located.  However, when a Customer is returning Inventory it may be returned to a different Location.  If this is the case, pull in the Inventory that is being returned; enter a minus sign and the number of items being returned.  Then select the ‘Type Code’.  (In the Example shown here, – 1 is entered in the Quantity & ‘Other Return’ is selected as the Type Code.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Then Click on the ‘Enable’ button and the Drop-down list for Location will be activated.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

-          Select the Location the Inventory is being Returned to and Click on Update & Close or Update and Add More.

 

** Remember, the Location will pull in the Location Default for your Computer.  If you do Not have a default this is when you will Enable the Location field and Select the appropriate Location.

To populate this dropdown list, setup User Edit ‘INVENTORY-LOCATIONS’.  

                Setup User Edit          

                Field 1 = INVENTORY-LOCATIONS

                Field 2 = Leave Blank

                Field 3 through 8 = XX YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

XX= 2 Character Locate Code

YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY = 17 Character Location Description

 

       

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Note: Only the 2 Character Location Code will be displayed in the Riata Inquiry on Phone Number Information Screen – Other Tab.

 

 

 

 

Project # 3091      Directory Export  (North Winds Excel Output) Directory Sections

Directory Export is located on the Riata Programs Menu.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

When exporting in the North Winds Excel format, the Excel file has a new column for "Directory Section".  During the export, the program now tries to find each listing's directory section by using a new User Edit called ‘ DIRECTORY- SECTION  NPANXX’ and based upon the NPA and NXX defined in the User Edit.

 

         

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

   Setup User Edit:

                Field 1 = DIRECTORY-SECTION                                                              

                Field 2 = NPANXX (6 digits with No Dashes or Spaces)

                Field 3 = Directory Section Name

                Field 4 through 8 = Leave Blank

 

If a matching User Edit is Not found, the NPA and NXX are written in the Directory Section column.

 

Note: A separate DIRECTORY-SECTION user edit must be created for each NPA and NXX that you want to assign a directory section to. 

 

For a listing with long names that are continued on a subsequent listing with the same number, you can now have the name merged into one listing.  The merged name can be up to 50 characters long.  Any blank spaces are removed from the end of the name in the first record before adding to the second.

To have a listing's name continuation automatically merged, enter "9" as the Indent Level of the continuation listing, as in the example below:

 

Example:

In the directory file XDIRR2, the following listing has been given a duplicate phone number record in order to extend the name past 40 characters; the duplicate is given an indent level of 9. 

 

 

Phone #

 

Indent Level

Name

 

Address

 

City

 

2084361122

0

Example name with over 40 characters 

 

 

2084361122

9

 in total.

105 C Street

Rupert

 

 

If the option "North Winds Merge Names on Indent = 9" is checked, this will result in the following single listing in the Excel file:

 

 

Phone #

 

Indent Level

Name

 

Address

 

City

 

2084361122

0

Example name with over 40 characters in total.

105 C Street

Rupert

 

 

Also, with the "North Winds Merge on Indent = 9" option checked, listings with multiple lines and the same phone number will now be exported differently.

In the Excel file, the listing's Phone Number, Address and City will now appear ONLY on the last line having the same phone number.  The address and city in the last line are copied from the first non-blank address or city found; they do not have to be in the first or last line.

 

Example:  With the following listing data in the directory file:

 

 

Phone #

 

Indent Level

Name

 

Address

 

City

 

2084361122

0

Project #3117     Credit Score Display in Riata

We have added a new User Edit called ‘CREDIT-SCORE-SHOW’.  This User Edit will allow you to determine how the ‘Credit Score’ is displayed on the Customer Account Information in Riata Service Order Entry and Inquiry on the Other Tab.

Setup User Edit:

Field 1 = CREDIT-SCORE-SHOW

                Field 2 = Leave Blank 

                Field 3 = Enter 1 or 2 or 3 or 4 or 5 (See details below)

1 = ‘Credit Score will NOT be displayed in Service Order Entry and Inquiry’

2 = ‘Actual Credit Score IS displayed in Inquiry.  And No Credit Score will be displayed in Service Order Entry.

3 = ‘LOW’ or ‘AVERAGE’ or ‘HIGH’ will be displayed in Inquiry, based on what is entered in Fields 4 & 5.  And     No Credit Score will be displayed in Service Order Entry.

4 = ‘Actual Credit Score IS displayed in Inquiry and Service Order Entry’

5 = ‘LOW’ or ‘AVERAGE’ or ‘HIGH’ will be displayed in Inquiry, based on what is entered in Fields 4 & 5.  And Actual Credit Score IS displayed in Service Order Entry.

Field 4 = XXX (Enter a 3 digit Score – any score less than or equal to this number will be considered LOW)

Field 5 = XXX (Enter a 3 digit Score – any score between the score entered in Field 4 and the one entered here will be considered AVERAGE -  any score higher than the score entered here will be considered HIGH).

Field 6 through 8 = Leave Blank

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

In the example Shown, Option 5 is used in Field #3.

 

Therefore;

In Service Order Entry;

The Customers Actual Credit Score will be displayed.

                                               

In Inquiry;

Low will be displayed if the Customer’s Actual Credit Score is Less than 499 (Entered in Field 4).

Average will be displayed if the Customer’s Actual Credit Score is greater than 499(Entered in Field 4) and Less than 599 (Entered in Field 5).

High will be displayed if the Customer’s Actual Credit                Score is Greater than 599 (Entered in Field 5).

 

Actual Credit Score (580) displayed in Service Entry – Customer Account Information Screen – Other Tab

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Average displayed in Inquiry – Customer Account Information Screen – Other Tab

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

NOTE: When Options 1, 2 or 3 are entered in Field 3 of the User Edit ‘CREDIT-SCORE-SHOW’, these indicate to NOT display Credit Score Information in either Inquiry or Service Order Entry, depending on the option entered.  Therefore NO Credit Score Information is Displayed as Shown below.

 

In order to Enter or Change a Customer’s Credit Score Information you will need to change the User Edit ‘CREDIT-SCORE-SHOW’ and enter either 4 or 5 in Field 3.

This new line will be the last line in the list and will be displayed in Purple as shown in the example below. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 


 

Project #3173   Cash Receipts PDF Report 

We have corrected a problem with Cash Receipts PDF Report.  Permanent Disconnects now print correctly on the Report.

 

 

Project #3199   Service Order 2007 – Added Disconnect Reason Code  

We have added the Disconnect Reason code to Service Order 2007 the same as it is in Regular Service Order Entry.

Whenever the Service Order type ‘Disconnect’ is selected a Reason Code will be required on the second screen in order to continue on with the Service Order.  If you do not select a Disconnect Reason code on the second screen and try to continue on to the third screen you will get the following message.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Click - OK.

 

You will be returned to the Second Screen to Enter a Disconnect Reason Code.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Use the Drop Down to select a Disconnect Reason Code.

 

Note: Disconnect Reason Codes displayed in this drop down are entered on the AS/400.  From Start1 Menu; select #1 (Customer Information), then #19 (Riata), then #20 (Maintenance Items), then #20 (More Options), then #16 (Disconnect Reason Codes).  Enter 9 to Add a new Reason Code or 2 to Change a Reason Code.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

You can also enter a Comment below the Reason Code entered for additional details on the Disconnect Reason. 

 

 

 

Project #3206   Cash Receipts / View Reports Screen

In Cash Receipts, after you Finalize and Post G/L Entries, if you have Deposits that could not Post to a Customer Account there is an AS/400 report that needed to be reviewed.  Therefore, we have added a Riata Screen that will display this Information automatically when you Post G/L Entries.   

In Riata, after Posting G/L Entries, the View Report Screen will be displayed as shown here.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

You can Print & Save this Report View to Excel.

 

NOTE: This screen only displays if there are Deposit Issues.  If No Deposit Issues are found, the Screen will Not be displayed.    

 

Once you are done reviewing this Information, click Exit and Processing will continue on as always.

 

 

 

Project #3214    Cash Receipts - Post G/L Entries / Change Company Number & Key 

We have added the ability to change the Company Number and Key when Posting the G/L Entries after Finalizing & Posting Cash Receipts.  A ‘Change CO# & Key’ button has been added to the G/L Entries screen as shown here.  You will use this when you have something going to the wrong Company.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

-          When you Click on ‘Change CO# & Key’ button, the following screen will be displayed.

 

 

 

 

-          Enter the Current Company Number & Key, then Enter the Company Number & Key you want to Change to. 

-          Click on Update to Complete the Change.

 

 

 

 

 

** In this Example; we changed CO# 20 & Key 956 to CO# 25 & Key 555.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Project #3217    Statement Printing (Change Sort by Tariff & Show Taxes in Different Section)  

You now have the ability to force the Sort Order for certain Tariff Codes when Printing Statements.  With this option, you can Pull-Out certain Tariff Codes that Normally Print in a Section of the Statement and have it Print in their Own Section or Include them in Another Section.  This will currently work for Only BSTA6P Statements.  If you are not using this type of statement and this feature interests you, please contact us.

 

This is based on the Revenue Belongs to and the Bill Type Codes that come from the Tariff Master.

An example of this could be; A Cellular Statement you want Roaming, Text Messaging to show in their own Sections rather than have them all grouped together as Cellular Charges. 

 

Revenue Belongs to & Bill Type

New User Edit called ‘STATEMENT-FORCE-SORT’ has been created to allow you to force Tariff Codes to have Specific Revenue Belongs to & Bill Type coeds for Statement Printing. This could change the order & group they are printed with on the Statements.  You will enter the Tariff Coeds that will be affected by this sort.  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Setup User Edit:

Field 1 = STATEMENT-FORCE-SORT

Field 2 = Leave Blank

Field 3 = XXX.YY.

XXX= Revenue Belongs to Code to Use

YY= Bill Type Code to Use

Field 4 through 8 = List Tariff Codes that this Sort Applies to.     

(xxxxx.xxxxx.xxxxx-  3 Tariff Codes per line, separated with a decimal. If Tariff Codes are less than 5 characters, key in leading spaces.)

 

In the Example Shown;

The Revenue Belongs to Code will be CTI and the Bill Type Code will be CL for the Tariff Codes 12345,  ABCD.

 

 

 

 

Federal Tax & State Tax

You also have the ability to Pull-Out Federal and State Taxes and put them in their Own Section or Include them in Another Section with other Similar Charges.  We have created two User Edits to handle these options.

 

If you do not have Tariff Codes setup for Federal Tax or State Tax you will need to setup them up first before setting up these new User Edits.  

 

 

User Edit ‘STATEMENT-FORCE   FED-TAXES’ will force any Federal Taxes for Statements to be put in their own Section of the Statement.  The Tax amounts are pulled out of the other sections and put in a new section on the Statement based on the Revenue Belongs to & Bill Type from the Tariff Code entered in Field #3.

 

Setup User Edit:

Field 1 = STATEMENT-FORCE

Field 2 = FED-TAXES

Field 3 = XXXXX (Tariff Code)

Field 4 through 8 = Leave Blank

    (If Tariff Code is less than 5 characters, key in leading spaces.)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

User Edit ‘STATEMENT-FORCE   STATE-TAXES’ will force any State Taxes for Statements to be put in their own Section of the Statement.  The Tax amounts are pulled out of the other sections and put in a new section on the Statement based on the Revenue Belongs to & Bill Type from the Tariff Code entered in Field #3.

 

Setup User Edit:

Field 1 = STATEMENT-FORCE

Field 2 = STATE-TAXES

Field 3 = XXXXX (Tariff Code)

Field 4 through 8 = Leave Blank

    (If Tariff Code is less than 5 characters, key in leading spaces.)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

NOTE: * Make sure you Test this before Printing All of Your Statements!  Print just a couple of Statements first and Verify everything looks correct!

 

 

 

 

Project #3219    Cellular SMS & MMS Free Messages 

There is a New Option to give Free SMS and MMS Messages that are combined. This new option will allow you to give Free Messages and it doesn’t matter whether it is SMS or MMS.  The two will be combined and sorted by date and the earliest messages will be given free first. This can be part of a regular PCS Plan or can be an Add-On Feature.

From Start1 Menu; select #23 (System Maintenance), then #24 (Goto Wireless Menu), then #4 (Key/List PCS Packages) – 1= Key/List PCS Packages – place a 2 (Change) in front of a Package – Page down to Page 2.

To make it clearer, enter the number of Free Messages in all the SMS and MMS fields.

 

This Example will allow 50 Free Messages Total.  Regardless if it is a SMS or MMS. After 50 Messages, an overage charge of .10 will be charged for SMS and an overage charge of .05 will be charged for MMS.

 

You can have different overage charges for SMS and MMS.   Messages are rated in this process unless there are other available Free Messages. If there are other available messages, the normal SMS/MMS processes will rate the overage. 

 

 

 

 

Project #3198    Cash Receipts / Paid Up to Date

Project #3250     Print Circuit ID# on Statements

We have added the option to print Circuit ID# on Statements.  This will print in the first section on the Statement for the Special ID Number.  The printing of this and what actually prints is controlled by a New User Edit. This only works if using statement program BSTA6P.

Setup User Edit:

Field 1= BSTA6P-SHOW-CIRCUIT#

Field 2 = Leave Blank

Field 3 = Y (Key a ‘Y’ if you want to print the Circuit Id# from physical tab in Riata)

Field 4 = Y (Key a ‘Y’ if you want to print Description 1 from Facility Access Service Billing)

Field 5 = Y (Key a ‘Y’ if you want to print Description 2 from Facility Access Service Billing)

Fields 6 through 8 = Leave Blank 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

There are three possible descriptions to print. 1) The Circuit ID # from the Physical Tab in Riata. 2) Description 1 from Facility Access Service Billing. 3) Description 2 from Facility Access Service Billing  Options 2 & 3 are from CABS menu #3. You can print any or all of these.

 

Remember that you can print any combination of these descriptions. If the description you are trying to print is blank, no line will print.  If printing the descriptions from Facility Access Service Billing, there has to be a Circuit Id# in the physical tab to match up to.
