Revisions or updates were done on MoneyBooks Accounts Payable, Gerian Assistant and MoneyBooks Data Manager. Following client feedback received on the cost analysis report, the Printwiser Estimating v10.05 update was created. A client was also visited towards meeting their payroll processing needs: Our two payroll solutions were presented, MoneyBooks Payroll, and MR-Payroll for FrontAccounting ERP that turned out more appealing to them for its ease-of-accesss, being browser-based.
Work on Printwiser 10.0 upgrade was completed. Gerian 1.6 revision was done, with changes mainly to the Bit Bank Ledger for which the USD column was introduced, as SFI had changed their recording to use USD instead of SATs in January, and minor changes to the HIDDEN Form, Income List, Settings form and the Affiliate List.
Revisions and the first 2024 builds were done for MoneyBooks Data Manager, gift calls section, and Gerian Assistant, the HIDDEN Form. An issue with PAYE tax calculation in MoneyBooks Payroll was investigated and resolved. The second half of the month was devoted to creating a customized web-based search engine, code-named WEB241.
Two revisions of Labelwriter were made, ending with Labelwriter 10.2 with the option to combine different envelope packs in the same carton. A new GUI application Lemeechi StockReader was created for downloading share stock transactions, initially in fulfillment of project requirements by Chris Emejuru for Harvard University’s CS50P, the CS50’s Introduction to Programming with Python course. August 9 marked the 24th anniversary of the initial installation of EPPMS at NRC. Gerian 1.56 was built with the size of the Notes column for HIDDEN records more than doubled.

In March, Gerian Assistant 1.42 was implemented, including a change to the HIDDEN List. MRLicense Validator 7.1 was implemented with a new multi-database change password utility. It drastically reduces the time for a client that needs to change user password in several databases of their application, as restarting the application for separate login into each database would no longer be necessary.
Gerian Assistant got two version revisions, ending with v1.41, with changes to how the SFI date and the game streak were set, and changes to the HIDDEN List and HIDDEN Form—including the SFI streak date on them, and making the Continue and End Game buttons on the new word section of the form invisible when the game timer is paused. A Printwiser client reported an issue with the flexible estimate report feature, and this was investigated and solution given.
A new Gerian 1.4 revision was created with several features: A new HIDDEN import and export option, automatically reformatting the HIDDEN List based on settings in a report formatting file (rff), a new Affiliate Rank List so users could update the list of ranks by themselves, and much more. Technical support visits were made to AP and NRC in connection with Printwiser and EPPMS, while a client was assisted with PDF to Word file conversion.

The social media buttons for a website we created two years ago were revised.
Another revision was made to the HIDDEN game streak computation in Gerian. A visit was made to NRC, while the General Ledger and Time Manager modules of MoneyBooks were revised, both including among others, a halt to the prompting to update before closing list windows, and also accidentally displaying detailed forms, while the user is specifying data query criteria. The Holiday List, along with the option to create new fixed holidays for a given year, was implemented in the new MoneyBooks Time Manager v1.97.
This month saw the 23rd anniversary of the initial installation of EPPMS at NRC back in 1999. Further revision was made to the HIDDEN game streak computation in Gerian. Our MRLicense Validator tool was upgraded with a new MR-Database Servicing Utility for carrying out servicing updates to selected databases.
One of the rare cases when the HIDDEN game streak computation in Gerian was wrong was spotted, after the first game of the day spilled—due to a break of several hours—into another local day (though same day at SFI). It was fixed, and the computation also speeded up. Needed revisions were made to two modules of MoneyBooks, Sales and General Ledger.
The Printwiser Estimating 9.0 Flexible Estimate Spreadsheet upgrade was reviewed this month (as version 9.1), with additional key features like estimate list selection, estimate group totals, calculating and including Materials Cost and Labor Cost items for selection. Following the introduction of a Bit Bank Ledger for recording the Satoshi or SATs earned by SFI affiliates in January, we implemented this in Gerian as well, for local data entry or importing of the records.
