what's new in mailware 2006

For a full revision list see the history below. Major enhancements include:

 
Mailware 2006 includes the following new features:
  1. Attachments - Add Pictures, PDF files, Word Documents - any file you wish - to your products.
     
  2. Enhanced Grids - Starting with the Orders tab of the Customer screen we have added several new features to allow you to customize your views of detailed data. The new grid allows for sorting, filtering and drill downs (e.g., listing the items associated with an order).
     
  3. Contact Logs - The customer contact log has been expanded to the Product, Order and Supplier screens so you can keep logs related to each of those.
     
  4. Multi-Vendors - Assign products to multiple suppliers.
     
  5. Flash Main Menu - A new menu system combines the ease of our popular 2005 menu with additional features and a new look. Previous interface options are available from the pulldown, and you can customize your own.
     
  6. Price Override - Item prices on the order screen are automatically locked when you hand enter a new amount. Uncheck the override box to release the lock and allow prices to recalculate.
     
  7. Customer Level Pay Method and Terms - Set defaults for customer accounts and they will appear automatically at order entry.
     
  8. Enhanced Assemblies (Kits) - Now kits can be treated and displayed as a single item. On the order the elements appear in blue (and can be excluded from printed invoices while included on pick lists), and can be deleted as a single unit.
     
  9. Print Tracking - Print invoices and packing lists from any order and Mailware will keep track of the number printed. Avoid accidentally printing duplicates while keeping the option to reprint.
     
  10. Unit of Measure - Differentiate the number of units ordered from your vendors vs. sold to your customers. Now you can order "1" item from a supplier and sell it as 24 (i.e., their single "case" equals your 24 individual items).

More features are coming! They will be released in future builds. Please watch our web site for updates.

Each one will receive a separate packing list (with a gift message from the giver and without prices) and a mailing label so shipping is easy. The gift giver will receive a cumulative invoice with itemized and total pricing.
     

  • Order Import - Import orders from the web. Mailware supports multiple formats and is user definable so you can customize it to your web service (Note: Order Import is available from the Process Open Orders action described below).
     

  • Actions: The following automated Actions make processing batches of items easier:

Process Open Orders - review, print and close orders in one easy step. This action also supports fulfillment of backordered items and Order Import.
 
Adjust Inventory - directly update your inventory any time including support for bar coding - simply wand items directly into your inventory.
 
Receive Inventory - create purchase orders - when your items arrive this action automatically updates your quantities in stock.
  • Quick access to reports with the new editable Reports button and Company Database Reports tab. Print single invoices, labels and reports relevant to the current screen.
     

  • New Fields: Wholesale and Resale product prices are automatically applied based on Customer type. Plus, you can assign a percentage discount for each customer. Individual products and customers may be defined as Tax Exempt and you can set Product Types for customizing reports.
     

  • Now even easier to use: Mailware is a true 32 bit program. It uses all the standard Windows features you already know, plus:

    Navigate with your mouse, or just the keyboard - use the Tab or Enter key to move between fields and screens. 
     
    Jump to Previous Customer - Mailware remembers the last 20 customer accounts viewed so you can jump back to them easily. This is especially handy when you are working on an account and the phone rings. Look up or add the new customer then press Ctrl-H to jump back to the previous customer and keep working.
     
    Taskbar - As in Windows, Mailware includes a taskbar at the bottom of its screen to make switching between open windows easy.
     
    A new help file includes fully annotated screen shots and is context sensitive - just press F1 for help on the current screen.

     

  • Automatic Sales Tax calculation is fully editable and is applied at order entry based on the shipping address country, state or Zip Code.
     

  • Automatic Shipping Calculations are applied on orders based on flat fees, total amount of order and total weight that you define. Combine options for nearly limitless charge scenarios.

    • When entering orders the customer's last credit card is remembered and automatically entered for you. 
       

    • Tax Exemption is applied automatically on orders for tax exempt customers and specific products.
       

    • Orders track the date of each item's last status (committed, shipped, returned etc.).
       

    • Committed items on orders can be force backordered, and backordered items can be force filled.
       

    • Order number sequences are unbroken for better audit trails.
       

    • New reports have been added including Sales summaries, Sales Tax reports, export reports, Backorder reports and more. New reports are made available on our web site and are easy to install.
       

    • Print Single Report option - Print a single invoice, purchase order or label for the currently selected record. You can create your own too.
