Updated this weekend. Now when I print an invoice it asks me to mark it printed before I get a chance to read it and make sure I am really going to print it??? Second issue when I order parts the parts order screen shows the part in stock but I have to slide way over to the right to see where it is in stock. The status and location need to be next to each other like they used to be please!! Alan

Hi Alan,

The completion prompt was moved up to allow the correct calculation of the Due Date option when it's in use.

As to the location column - it was missing from the previous version, and returning it put it in a location as though it were new. Someone else mentioned this, and we have recorded a backlog item to allow users to reposition/re-size columns and save those grid preferences (like the order screen or others).
