6829 build 5 - Supplier Payments process changed to correctly store amended Commission & VAT values.

Supplier payments (SP) originally stored values using a memory table, which mirrored the supplier payments screen. Any amendments made to SP, would update the memory table also, but we found this sometimes updated too slowly, and allowed certain updated values, to revert back to its original value.

Supplier payments has now improved the memory management and resilience, by storing any changes made straight to a separate table (DeltaSP.ADT). This new function will not allow existing values to over-write new values.

We also found that when a value was amended in the commission / VAT fields, depending on how you moved to another field, depended on whether the new value would be stored correctly or not.

Another change to SP, will now allow a value to be amended and whether you then TAB / ARROW DOWN / ARROW ACROSS / RETURN, the value will be stored, and the DUE COLUMN & TOTALS COLUMNS will update automatically.

The SAVE button has also changed. This is now called SAVE & RECALC. To save any amendments within a SP batch, you need to click on save & recalc. If you exit from SP, and this button has not been clicked, you will lose any amendments made.

To prompt this new process, we have therefore initially greyed out the POST button, forcing the SAVE & RECALC button to be used. Please be aware that once the save & recalc button has been pressed once, the post button will become highlighted again, but you will still be required to press save & recalc to correctly store any amendments made.

When the SAVE & RECALC / POST / AMEND / DRILL DOWN / EXIT buttons are now used, SP will now complete a save process where any amendments made will save to DeltaSP.adt. A new message will feature to inform you that a 'saving' is in process.

When deleting a pre-saved SP batch, 2 new tables will now report and autosave a copy of the data from the batch within SP / Batch list.

- SCriteriaDeleted.ADT / SLockedDeleted.ADT tables will store deleted batches

- CWAudit.ADT will report all changes made.

Sometimes its been reported that VAT values have reverted back to their original value, when drilling down into a booking via SP.

We recommend amending the Commission / VAT within SP screen, but we have also added the following new message within the Document Entry screen to try and combat this.
