Batch Manager Tool - July 2017

 
*Important* As a result of this update, you will need to 1) uninstall the existing Scan Tool and 2) install the new Scanning Service. See step-by-step details outlined below.
Scan Tool
  • *New* The Scan Tool desktop application has been replaced with a Scanning Service that once installed runs automatically in the background as a Windows service. *Action Required*  You will need to uninstall the existing Scan Tool and install the new Scan Service. See steps outlined below.
Batches
  • Fixed an issue where a new Batch didn't show the Batch Total of $0.00 in the Batch Summary until a Donation was added.
Scanning
  • Enhanced the re-scan functionality to maintain the scroll position of the Batch so as not to "lose your place" when re-scanning a Donation.
  • Enhanced the scanning queue management to ensure scanned checks all create a related Donation record.
  • *New* Scanner Settings for device selection and statistics is now available in a dialogue selected from the Scan drop down of an open Batch.
Donors
  • Fixed an issue where new Donor records did not honor the Country set in the DBT,Country Configuration Setting.
  • Fixed an issue where a new Donor record created would put the Country in the Country Code abbreviation field and not the fully Foreign Country name field.
  • Fixed an issue where a new Donor record created would not save the entered State in the Address record.
  • Fixed an issue where a new Donor record created would not populate the Nickname field.
Donations
  • Fixed an issue where changing the Donation total after scanning might clear amounts from related Distributions.
  • Fixed an issue where the Donation's Position Number value would start over for additional scanned items potentially affecting the sort order of Donations in the Batch.    
Export
  • Enhanced the X937 file format to transact a single bank deposit even when multiple Batches were included in the file export (unless your bank requires a "deposit ticket" as part of the file).
  • Fixed an issue where certain check images were severely darkened when exported and included in the X937 file.
  • Fixed an issue where certain check images were not sharp enough for a bank when exported and included in the X937 file.
