Solution-IV Accounting®
Version 8.52 Release Notice
Introduction:
Solution-IV Accounting version 8.51 was released December 15, 2003. This document explains the modifications and enhancements that were made to Solution-IV Accounting between versions 8.51 and 8.52.
This section briefly describes the changes that were made in each module.
FormsCreator (new module, released with 8.51)
FormsCreator is a powerful, cost-effective form design and document delivery system, based on the industry standard Crystal Reports and VSI*FAX products, that enables organizations to deliver complex business documents according to their needs.
Now your core accounting and Point of Sale applications running on Windows, UNIX, Linux and OpenVMS can deliver laser quality orders, invoices, purchase orders and customer statements directly to a laser printer, fax output or e-mail system.
FormsCreator eliminates the need for expensive pre-printed forms, their management and warehousing, as well as the hassles associated with manual form loading, separation and splitting. Instead, a variety of forms can be selectively printed, faxed, or e-mailed as the demand arises. Even the number of copies to print is a setup parameter for each form.
For more information on FormsCreator, see Appendix D of the Solution-IV Installation & Upgrade Guide for version 8.52.
