What’s Changing?
Fourth’s Purchase to Pay & Inventory release 4.6.88 includes new functionality. Specifically:
Reason for the Change
After the initial posting, a receiving can be amended using Receiving Corrections. Any such changes, as well as the initial creation of the receiving are now tracked and can be viewed in a new Receiving Audit Report to see who made what changes, and when.
As part of our initiative to integrate the Purchase to Pay & Inventory solution with Fourth’s mobile applications there are some new setup options available in the application. One such setup option will allow a user to receive tasks in the Fourth App when there are pending deliveries that require receiving. Please note, the development work for this new functionality (receiving tasks) is not yet fully complete.
Customers Affected
All Fourth Purchase to Pay & Inventory users.

When the report is run it will return details of any changes made during the selected date range (including the initial creation of the receiving). The report will show who made the change, what was changed, when it was changed and the previous and new values.
The report will show whether the change was made in the Purchase to Pay & Inventory application (Adaco) or from Fourth’s mobile receiving app.
Changes can be recorded at three levels:

Support for Receiving Tasks in the Fourth App
In the Edit > Preferences > Communication menu there is a new option to enable Tasks for Pending Deliveries. With this option ticked a user that has access to the receiving centre and has an account in the Fourth App will receive a task for each pending delivery that requires receiving. The task will contain a link to the appropriate pending delivery within Fourth’s Receiving App.
The option to enable a Notification for Pending Deliveries is not currently enabled and cannot be set. This will be enabled in a future release.
Note: The option to generate tasks in the Fourth Mobile App is a preliminary configuration setting and will only become active once support for Pending Delivery tasks has been completed in the Fourth Mobile App. This is likely to be completed in Q1 2019.
