2019-12 December Update

Below is a summary of the enhancements and bug fixes found in our latest update of VisualDLP


Silent Printing from VisualDLP and User Settings for default printers and printer settings.
Now you can set-up your default printer, paper size and orientation for Work Tickets, Invoices, Custom Reports and Credit/Debit Receipts in User Settings.  This prevents you from having to select them in the browser each time you print and enables one-click printing.



Track Material Costs Per Activity, Production Option and Workflow.
Now you can track the cost of materials and other production costs per unit.   Periodically recalculate your material costs and see what your most profitable products and workflows are.





Track Labor Cost per Unit
By setting the hourly rate each employee earns, and the expected minutes per unit in Activities, you can calculate your labor cost per Product, Activity and Workflow.




Account Financial Transactions can now be exported to Excel, PDF or CSV for easy account auditing or collection action.
If you ever have to provide an account with a list of all of their financial transactions, you can now search in a date range and export results from the Account's financial tab. 




Allow Editing of Patient Name and Patient Reference after order is invoiced.
Have you ever caught a typo, or had an account ask you to fix the patient name on an invoice after you've closed the month?  Now you can easily make this change and reprint the invoice.  Changes are logged in the order audit history.






User Setting to Search for Products by Alpha Code 
If you prefer to search for Products using only the Alpha Codes, you can now specify that as your default search preference.  This can be done Per User in the My User Settings section of the Setting Menu.  The option to search by Product Name will include Alpha Code.





Statement Date Override 
Now you can override the date you closing the month so that the proper month and date appear on your statement.  This means you don't have to close the month on the last day of the calendar month.





 Account Notes can now be removed if they no longer apply.


New Global Setting to Force the Ship Date to the Date the Order Is Invoiced.
Now, if this setting is enabled, the ship date will automatically get set to the date you invoice an order.




New Product  Types automatically get added to Taxes
When you add a new product type, you don't have to go to each tax and add it.  Now it will automatically be added for you. 



Report Updates
Added Report Group as a grouping field on Invoice Register
Added Bill of Materials for Invoices and Work Tickets



Bugs Fixes

Orders are no longer re-scheduled when changes are made to them.
Ship Time and Due Date Time on Work tickets were one hour off when batch printed. 
Order History now specifies UTC time as the time the history record was added.
When searching for products and doctors, results only appeared on one result line forcing users to scroll.
