Creating new purchase orders as well as appending
to existing purchase orders using an Excel, CSV, tab (.txt), or fixed-length
file.
The
import file can contain multiple items for multiple PO Numbers. If
the PO exists and has been sent to the Vendor, the Purchase Order
Import Designer will create a new PO using the next available PO Number
from MPC.
Creating and appending to Normal, Credit, and Defective
PO types as well as providing support for users with Central Distribution/Buyer’s
Purchasing enabled.
This
allows you to designate the DC store and the Item detail store as

import tool can only append line-item details to an existing PO. The
PO Header cannot be changed nor can the PO be cancelled or suspended
through the import tool.

Eagle Alerts emails have been enhanced to include the item's description in the body of the email.
You can now use Email Audit By Invoice Viewer to view emails sent from QuickRecall Viewer or Document Image Viewer.
A non-catalog item added via downloading reverse purchase orders from Ace will now have rounded retail pricing.

Eagle now supports refreshing drop ship items' information such as quantity on hand, sales history by sending drop ship SKU's back to Acenet.
The application will print sale signs and bin labels for closeout promotional items if they have been added to the promotion or their current promotional price has changed.
The application will now process AceHardware.com sales of warranties to consumers. The AHCM Viewer (VIEWAHCM) will display the sales as line items with neither Eagle nor Ace costs. This will help ensure that no general ledger for the cost of goods is made since the warranty items are not stocked in your store.
The new EFMS report has been added to display changes made to an item's source. For example, if a product becomes a drop ship item, as Ace no longer carries it in its Retail Service Center (RSC), you can generate the report from Electronic File Maintenance (EFM) or through spooled reports to view the details.

Note: On upgrading to L30.1, Security Bit 1166 will be set to the same value defined for MSE 577.
