                    Additions/updates to Sales Controller
                    -------------------------------------

Version 1.1 (June '91)
----------------------

  Several new features have been added to the invoicing section. Firstly,
you may now get an auto generating statement of invoices. These are useful
for sending to those that owe you money ! Secondly, there are three new
buttons on the "Search" dialogue: "Paid", "Unpaid" and "Overdue". These
will select account invoices that satisfy whichever of the button(s) that
you select - don't forget to set an account filter as well. The third feature
is the "Invoice from" option under the "Stock" subitem of the "Invoice" menu.
If a check mark is displayed next to this item (this is the default) then items
on invoices will automatically be taken from the stock list. Un-checking this
item means stock levels are unaffected by invoices issued.

Quite a few bugs have been ironed out in this current release as well:

1.  A bug that caused a system crash (red faces all round) when you selected
    the "Check" button in the invoice dialogue if you were not VAT registered
    has been corrected.

2.  A bug that made the "Delete selected" items function incorrectly for the
    stock and invoice sections has been cleared.

3.  A bug that spuriously affected the "delete invoice" option has been fixed.

4.  A bug that caused automatically generated invoice and order numbers to
    differ between printed copies and those in memory has been removed.

5.  The menu's have been made more Mac-like. There is a small drop-shadow
    around the border of each menu, and the item flashes a number of times
    when selected. If the flashes drive you mad, you can turn them off by
    setting the "Menu flashes" item in the "Settings" dialogue box to zero.


Version 1.11 (August '91)
-------------------------

A new feature has been added to the 'Quit' alert box. You may now opt to
autosave the three auto-loaded files "STOCK.STK", "INVOICE.INV" and
"SUPPLIER.SUP". If there are no stock items in memory, no stock file will
be saved. If there are no suppliers in memory, no supplier file will be
saved etc.


There's probably one or two other fixes been added too, but like all REAL
programmers I wrote the code and forgot the documentation.


And remember...
