Release 3.0.9


The VISCO official release of The Venture
Information System
version 3.0.9 is slated for delivery to all Network
and
Web-hosted Customers between March 27th and March
30th 2008. Be
on the look out for individual emails regarding the
schedule
for your release.

Based on our customer’s requests, we have
enhanced the
functionality of several areas of the system while
we
continue to support and enhance the day to day use
of VIS by our
customers.

This release includes a list of enhancements and
customizations. If you would like further
explanation of
these enhancements, you can talk with your VISCO
support
manager for more details or review our full release
notes upon
request. Included in this VISCO release is the
following enhanced
functionality:

Faster Sales Order Entry - Key Fields from Sales
Order
Preparation have been moved to Sales Order Assign,
making for
faster data entry without having to tab through
unnecessary
fields. Also, “Proceed to line level” is no longer
necessary
from the Sales Order & Purchase Order Prep Screens.

Shipping Changes made easier -Change shipping dates
for all
lines at the same time from the Sales and Purchase
Order
header screens. Click on the “Update Dates” link
from the
Lines tab and update the first open shipment for
each line on
the order from one screen!

New Inquiry Document and Inquiry Dates Update -
There is now a
document available to summarize an Inquiry, one
sheet in an MS
Excel© workbook is created for each product on the
Inquiry. We
are accepting template redesign requests. Also, the
Inquiry
has a new “Nature of Inquiry” field which can help
follow the
status of an inquiry from a request to a result.
Results can
have their own date tracking too.

Drop Shippers Dream come true: Auto-Generate PO from
an SO -If
you haven’t already heard about or used the new
“Auto generate
PO from SO” function, talk with your support
manager. It’s
easier and faster than any of our other copy order
tools
available.

Final PO or SO - When Purchase Orders or Sales
Orders are
issued, VISCO now creates a frozen version of that
document
for future reference.

HTS Table - Now you can update Duty Rates for all
products with
the same HTS code. HTS codes, descriptions and duty
rates are
now stored in the system tables (you’ll need to
create your
initial list, or ask us to do so for a fee). A scan
is
available in the product to select the appropriate
HTS code
for that product.

And Many More – View Pre-Allocations from Container
Information, reverting allocations made easier,
distribution
of costs based on Sales Invoice, adding Ventures to
In Transit
Containersand others.

***For Full Release Notes ask your support manager.

Upgrades Available:

Mass Data Updates-Want to update all your new
products with
new pricing on one screen? Let us build you a
“spreadsheet”
like tool with heavy permissions and control that
will allow
you to do just that. We’ve got the template, you
just tell us
what information you want to update and we’ll build
it out to
your specifications.

VISCO Tip of the Month:

Icons making a big impact on usability - Throughout
the
system, the icon continues to get used to provide
helpful tips
on new functionality and complicated procedures.
Keep your eye
out for new icons, and hover over them when you see
them to
get more information about what is available from
the VIS
screen.

Internet Explorer 7.0 - Upgrading your Internet
Explorer to
version 7.0? There are a lot of new features worth
using and
VISCO is fully compatible with this free upgrade
from
Microsoft. However, be conscious of the settings on
your
workstation for yourTrustedSites. VISCO Support has
found that
the upgrade to IE 7.0 can cause your Trusted Sites
security
settings to go back to the default "Medium Settings"
which
will disable the downloading of most documents in
our system.
Before you upgrade, ask VISCO what you'll need to do
to make
sure access to documents is maintained.
If you have any questions about these enhancements,
would like
to learn more about them, or have questions about
the progress
of your own enhancements, give us a call at
845-383-3800.Thank
you for your time and attention, and for being a
valued VISCO
customer.
Sincerely,
