ProcessorLink
Release Notes for Version 10.0
Overview
On Tuesday, May 28th, Fidelis launched ProcessorLink version 10.0 offering manufacturers additional self service functionality to expand on the data elements that they can configure themselves:
- configure distributor partners and bill types per state
- set school year extension dates for sales transactions and transfers/adjustments and specify rollover date of prior year balances as carryover in the new year
- enable/disable multiple bank creation per customer and USDA material per state
- define an effective date per Product Catalog product entry against which sales transactions' invoice dates are validated
The refinements were no less significant:
- enable column headers on select reports and list views to be visible regardless of vertical scrolling
- adapt ProcessorLink to the new styling of Microsoft's Internet Explorer 10.0, a significant set of changes from prior versions
- overhaul Product Information search and list to adhere to new Fidelis' internal standards
- and many others...
Manufacturer Configuration - Distributor and Bill Types
- Distributor tab enables the configuration of a distributor with a manufacturer in a particular state and setting important attributes such as validating the distributor reported discount and External Distributor Nbr
- Bill Type tab displays the bill types configured in each state. The bill types configured on this tab are those that display on the Product Catalog Setup for activation.
Through this new module, ProcessorLink is expanding the self service features that eliminate the need to email support for data configuration. However, we still love to hear from you!
School Year Extension Dates
ProcessorLink now has an interface into which you can specify your company's extension of the current school year beyond June 30th. Accessible by clicking the alert located on the Home Page (see above) and via the Setup/Configuration menu, the School Year Extension Date module has three dates that a manufacturer is required to configure:
- Load Prior School Year Sales Transactions
- Enter Prior School Year Transfers
- Execute Rollover
Each manufacturer has until the end of May to specify the above information. On June 1st, ProcessorLink publishes the Load Prior SY Sales Transaction extension date on relevant distributors' Home Page in ProcessorLink so that they are aware of the deadline.
If you do not recall the dates used in the prior year's extension dates, ProcessorLink conveniently displays them next to each corresponding field for the current school year.
Define Product Catalog Product Effective Date
The ProcessorLink import processing will validate the sales transactions and fail those with invoice dates that violate the corresponding products' Effective Dates. Of course, the Resolve Failed Transaction module allows the administrator to override that validation.
