Version 2013 b478 for Dynamics GP 2013 RTM/R2
Release Date: 09/2019

New Features and Significant Changes

Mekorma Payment Hub

  • Improved performance as the system no longer automatically retrieves registration keys during GP startup and no longer validates keys when printing.
    • After Mekorma installation, it is recommended to login as user ‘sa’ or a user with database sysadmin rights to run table upgrade. The table upgrade message will only prompt for user ‘sa’ or system administrator if an upgrade is needed.
    • If invalid, expired or all empty keys are detected upon logging in to GP, the registration error message will only display for user ‘sa’ (system administrator.)
  • Optimized Table Maintenance to improve performance during login, switching companies and opening the Table Maintenance window.

  • Added an explanation of how to switch from Task-Based to Legacy Security on the Mekorma Security Setup window.
  • The option to opt out of Mekorma Miscellaneous Checks has been moved. Go to the Mekorma Area Page > Setup > System > MICR System Options window > Additional > Mekorma MICR – MISC Chks OptOut. This opens a new window that allows you to opt out by company.
  • In the Mekorma Approval navigation list a new section, ‘Payment Voucher’, has been created. The window will show the Payment, Vendor and Amount in one list. A second list shows all vouchers that make up the payment.
  • The Mekorma minor build number is now shown in the About window.
  • Added an info icon on the Mekorma User Preferences, to the right of the Signature File field.

Task-Based Security

  • The Mekorma Security Setup window opens with the companies collapsed – Users can expand/collapse by double-clicking on the company’s name. This process is explained at the bottom of the window.

  • Added instructions on how to switch to Legacy Security in the Legacy V. Task ID Security information box.
  • Added the disable ‘Print Blank Checks’ option to the Security Setup window.
  • When switching security models to either Task-Based or Legacy when a company has incomplete workflow transactions, users will get a message asking if workflow records should be removed. The records will not be removed until the user clicks on ‘Save.’
  • Removed the Look-Up and Delete buttons from the signature file in the Mekorma User Preferences window (found in GP User Preferences > Additional).
  • Changed message when using Legacy security to ‘Mekorma User Preferences is only available under the Task-Based Security model.’ (found in User Preferences > Additional > Mekorma User Preferences)
  • Default signature now prints on split batches that require approval.
  • When using Vendor Class Security with threshold, approval is based on transaction. For each transaction, it first looks to the threshold assigned to vendor class. If not assigned, it uses the threshold assigned to the checkbook.

  • Modified the label in Threshold Maintenance from ‘Enable Signatures Only for this Threshold’ to ‘Enable Signatures Only for this Threshold ID’ for clarification.
  • Modified the Default Signatures label to reflect that signatures can be set up for thresholds or users.
  • The size of the Signature field was increased to accommodate 45 characters in the Threshold Maintenance window.

  • When using the split batch feature with MEM integration, the split batch is assigned the same entity as its original batch.

Mekorma Enhanced Electronic Payments

Mekorma has introduced the ePayment credit model. In the credit model, the virtual card company offers a no-cost line of credit to the client. Unlike the pre-funded ePayment model, no money is pulled from the client’s bank account when the virtual cards are issued. The status of all the virtual cards that have changed during the day (typically cards swiped) will be reported nightly. The virtual card company will automatically transfer payment from the client’s account for settled cards, on a regular basis.

  • The *Enhanced ePayment Vcard Management *window allows the user to see the status and the current balance of all the virtual cards issued.
    • Filters allow the user to narrow down the list by status (Issued, Used, Drained and Voided), by Checkbook ID, Payment Date, Vendor ID, Expiration Date and Remaining Balance.
    • Total Amount, Total Outstanding and Total Pending (card swipes that have been settled but not yet pulled by the virtual card company) are shown at the bottom of the screen for all the cards displayed, along with the amount of the Credit Line. With each card, the user will be able to zoom to the Payment Number to see the invoices that were paid with this virtual card and, when appropriate, to the MEEP Vendor Payment when the card settled.
    • The user can Void a newly issued card, before it has been used, by highlighting it and clicking on Actions > Void. Voiding a card in the credit model voids the corresponding Vendor Payment and MEEP vendor voucher. Only unused cards can be voided. The Void action cancels the virtual card.
    • The Amount Used column will reflect the dollar amount that has been used of the original amount. If an outstanding amount will not be used by the vendor, it can be written off and that amount credited back. This is done by highlighting the card with a partial amount used, clicking on Actions > Writeoff. The user will be prompted to select an existing or create a new batch in the Enhanced ePayment Vcard Remainder Writeoff window, process, then post the batch. This generates a credit memo to the MEEP Vendor.
    • New Payments need to be entered at the end of the credit period by clicking on the ‘New Payments’ button at the top of the Enhanced ePayment Vcard Management screen (A reminder may be added to the GP reminders, or an automatic email may be sent by a scheduled task). The user will be prompted to select an existing or create a new Payment Batch and process it. A payment transaction will be created for the total amount of the virtual cards that have settled during the period and apply records will be created for each virtual card. This will link the payment to the Voucher created against the MEEP Vendor when that virtual card was processed. The user will then be prompted to Post the payment batch, if that option is selected on the New Payment window.
  • If a batch fails to send to transmit, user now receives the message ‘An unexpected error occurred when sending batch for electronic processing, please confirm status on the portal. One or more errors occurred.’
  • Added the ability to process Positive Pay files for ePayment checks.
  • Added ePayment status message to the MMM Post Process Results Report.
  • Added the ability to support multiple checkbooks within a single GP database. Checkbooks can be setup in the Enhanced ePayment Configuration window.
  • User is no longer prompted to print the remittance before posting an ePayment batch for virtual cards.
  • Users can now void a virtual card payment (if the payment has not been posted) from within the Enhanced ePayment Vcard Management window.
  • Added message ‘This bank account has already been assigned to different checkbook’ when attempting to change the Remote Bank Account to one that is already assigned in the Enhanced ePayment Configuration window.
  • In the Enhanced ePayment Configuration window, the subdomain name is now read only; the ePayment Access Key has been truncated; and the Remote Bank Account field automatically pulls from the ePayments portal, but can also be manually edited.
  • When a virtual card is written off in the Enhanced ePayment Vcard Management window, a credit memo is created to the MEEP Vendor. This credit memo is applied to the invoice generated to the MEEP vendor for the virtual card.
  • Virtual card status changes display in the Enhanced ePayment Vcard Management window when it is manually refreshed.
  • ‘Vendor Default Checkbooks’ section was added to the Enhanced ePayment Configuration window, allowing users to assign a default checkbook for specific payment methods (check, EFT and virtual card payments). This can be integrated with the Mekorma Assign by Checkbook feature, allowing you to build batches by selecting payments by vendor checkbook.
  • The option ‘Send Zero Value Checks’ was added in the ePayment Configuration window. By default, it will remain deselected so that $0 checks will be printed locally (as a remittance) by Mekorma or GP, rather than through ePayment process.
  • Changed the Multi-Batch Management Action Board Post Results Report to show the status of ‘Failed’ if an ePayment failed to send to the electronic payments service.
  • In the Multi-Batch Management Action Board, added the ability to drill down to view the ACH or Positive Pay file by selecting the batch and clicking on the Status Description link.
  • Batches that include an ePayment are shown separately as a split batch in the Mekorma Audit Log.
  • Integration with Multi Entity Management
    • ePayment split batch or virtual card batch is granted with the same entity as the original batch.
    • The Enhanced ePayment Batch Maintenance window only shows the batches that the user has access to in the batch entity.
    • The Enhanced ePayment File Owner Maintenance window allows to change file owner only if the new owner has access to the entity to which the file is tied.
  • Two new windows had been created on the Mekorma Area Page > Routines > Payables
    1. Enhanced ePayment Batches: Within this window, users can view batch statuses by the following categories:
      • Created (integration files have been created in SQL)
      • Sent (integration files have been transmitted)
        • User can void the batch by clicking Action > Void. This applies to the batches that have been transmitted but are getting a process error in the portal. In this case, user will need to discard the payment on the portal, then also delete the batch in GP.
        • The user needs to ensure that the batch was not processed in the portal before voiding a batch.
      • Processed (sent payments have been processed and returned to GP)
        • Processed files will allow the user to drill into the batches and post.
      • Failed (batch fails to transmit for any reason)
        • A failed batch can be voided in GP by clicking Action > Void.
      • Posted (ePayment batch posted)
        • For a virtual card batch, the original batch will automatically be posted after the Vcard batch is posted
      • Abandoned (the batch will be removed from GP)
    2. Enhanced ePayment File Owner Maintenance: The main purpose of this window is to assign batches that are in ‘Sent’ status to other GP users, to be processed when the batch owner is away or on PTO.

Multi-Batch Management (MMM)

  • Added Payment Method, Sub Total and Status fields to the Multi-Batch Management Post Process Results report.
  • Added the ability to see the next check number in Multi-Batch Management Action Board Process Checks and EFTs area, by selecting the batch then clicking on the info button next to the Checkbook ID.
  • When ‘Generate EFT Files’ is chosen in MMM Action Board, only checkbooks with EFT transactions will be displayed. Checkbooks showing a $0 batch total will not be listed.

Version 2013 b460 for Dynamics GP 2013 R2
Release Date: 01/2018

New Features and Significant Changes

  • With this release, we have added the ability to install Mekorma MICR in Silent Mode. For instruction on how to perform a silent installation, please see this knowledge base item from the Mekorma website. https://www.mekorma.com/support/knowledge-base.aspx?searchtext=silent&searchmode=allwords
  • Table Maintenance has been significantly re-architected. The following features have been added or revised:
    • The ability to detect whether each company’s tables need to upgraded on an individual basis.
    • The ability to detect that a particular workstation needs to be upgraded.
    • The ability to select specific companies to be’ upgraded. This feature can be particularly helpful if you have many databases to upgrade, or if you have one specific company that needs to process immediately.
      • Any Company not yet upgraded will not be able to process payments.
    • The ability to disable companies for specific Mekorma products.
    • Comprehensive upgrade reporting.
      • Going forward from x60 onward, the upgrade history will now detect and display any database differences on a per table basis.
    • Support for SQL Server Track change
      • Previous to x60, the upgrade failed if Track Changes was enabled. Now there is no need to disable Track Changes for tables that need upgrade. This works if you are coming from builds x58 or greater. However for builds prior to x58 you will still need to disable for this upgrade.
    • Table Maintenance has also been configured to run much faster; starting from builds x60 upgrade processes should take up much less time.
  • We have removed GP Power Tools registration entry fields from the MEP registration window.
  • We have removed MPP registration entry fields from the MEP registration window.
  • Users can now disable the Assign by Checkbook companion window from displaying with the Select Checks window. For further instruction on how to do this, please see this knowledge base item from our website. https://www.mekorma.com/support/knowledge-base.aspx?searchtext=enable+disable&searchmode=allwords
  • Microsoft has added a new feature to Dynamics GP 2018 to build payment batches. This feature has been enhanced by Mekorma to allow users to save their Assign by Checkbook settings. For more information on this, please look for our video on Assigning Vouchers by Voucher Checkbook ID for GP 2018, which is scheduled for publishing in January 2018 on the Mekorma Videos Page. https://www.mekorma.com/videos.aspx
  • Multi-Batch Management’s Progress Control feature is now equipped with pause and resume buttons for all actions in the Multi-Batch Management Action Board. For further instruction on the Progress Control feature, please see this page from the Mekorma website.
    • If Dynamics GP crashes while Multi-Batch Management is processing payments, then you can perform a crash resume with Multi-Batch Management’s Progress Control feature. For more information, please see this page. https://www.mekorma.com/support/mekorma-multi-batch-management-progress-control.aspx
  • The activate button has been moved from the Action Board to the Multi-Batch Management Setup window.
  • Multi-Batch Management now automatically saves posting journals with a unique naming convention.

Version 2013 b410
Release Date: 07/2016

New Features

  • The Check Configurator will access the check stub file directly from the Database and save it back to the Database. The file extension will now be saved as .stbz instead of .stbx. Logos are now embedded in the check format so if the network drives change, images are not lost. The check file stubs will now be opened for editing only through MICR Check Format Library window.
  • The new MICR Check Format Library Window manages all check format files (*.stbz). Check formats with *.stbx extensions that were previously stored on the network drive will automatically migrate to the database during table upgrade. Going forward, use this window to manage all check formats.
    • The Check Format Library window shows an informational window that describes the new window’s proper usage.
    • At the Mekorma MICR Check Format Lookup window you can see a list of all available check formats or change to view by module. For example, on the Mekorma MICR Checkbook Setup (Payables) window, click lookup button next to the “Primary Check Format” field to assign a check format. This change is also for US and Canadian Payroll Checkbook Setup.
    • The ‘Add Format’ button can import multiple files. Clicking the button will prompt for a folder selection. All check format files in the folder will be displayed so that the user can select which files to import.
  • For new installations, the Check Format Library window is automatically populated with all installed stub files. The stub (format library) files are now a mandatory component in the MICR installer. By default, they are located in the ‘Mekorma MICR\StubLib’ folder (which in turn is at the root of the Dynamics GP folder).
  • Instead of using the create on the fly feature for all check formats (stbz). Use the new Check Format Library window to manage your check formats.
  • The ‘Check Format Path’ from the Mekorma MICR System Option is disabled now that the files are stored in the database and the path is no longer used.
  • The new MICR Signature Library Window now manages all signatures in the system. All signature fields are disabled and only show file name (without path). This is because signatures are now stored in the database. The new Mekorma MICR Signature Lookup Window, which draws its content from the Signature Library, is where signature selections are made. This includes existing signatures (which are automatically copied into this window during table upgrade) from the signature library. The original signatures will remain untouched; however, the system will use the ones stored in the database for check printing. Going forward, use this window to add signatures.
  • To streamline the install process, the Mekorma MICR installer now automatically installs all product components including:
    • Core MICR Payables/Payroll
    • MEM Connector for Payables
    • MEM Connector for Payroll
    • easyAdd EFT Comment
    • easyAdd Voucher Notes
    • easyAdd Vendor Notes
    • easyAdd Employee Notes
    • easyAdd Purchase Order Security
    • easyAdd Sort Payroll by Location
    • easyAdd Sort Direct Deposit after Checks
    • easyAdd check format fields
    • Multi-Batch Print & Post
    • Assign by Checkbooks
    • MICR for Canadian Payroll
    • The easyAdd fields are converted automatically during the table upgrade process
  • The MICR installer no longer installs user guides. They can be found at http://www.mekorma.com/support/user-guides.aspx.
  • Users can now easily access the “Product Registration Assistance Form” on our website by clicking on the ‘Product Key Assistance’ button under the ‘Update Keys’ option in the Registration Window.

Changes

  • The easyAdd fields are converted automatically during the table upgrade process
  • Support redirected printers. This is useful in a Citrix and Terminal Service environment where redirected printers are renamed for each new session causing MICR to ‘forget’ the last printer used. To force MICR to remember the last printer, edit the Dex.ini file as follows:
    • MICR_PmPrinter=HP 3015%
    • MICR_PmOverflowPrinter=HP 3015%%
    • MICR_PmCopyPrinter=HP 3015%
    • MICR_PmCopyOverflowPrinter=HP 3015%
    • MICR_UprPrinter=HP 3015%
    • MICR_UprOverflowPrinter=HP 3015%
    • MICR_UprCopyPrinter=HP 3015%
    • MICR_UprCopyOverflowPrinter=HP 3015%%
  • The above example will force the printer to always default to the first printer whose name starts with “HP 3015”.
  • Added fields ‘Cheque Copy’ and ‘Earnings Statement Copy’ to the MICR Checkbook Setup (Canadian Payroll) Window.
  • Added product registration error 35 for accounts not fully paid.
  • Reworded several error messages around the registration system for clarity.

  • Prompt the user for confirmation when printing a test check with over 500 vouchers.
  • Inform the user that registration keys are not necessary in the Fabrikam company. The system will allow the user to proceed with the product registration request if they choose to do so.
  • Added an option to sort Canadian Payroll by location. The feature is activated from the Additional menu from the Mekorma MICR Setup (Payroll – Canada) window.
  • Added the option to use the MEP_SKIPUPDATEDCOMPANIES=TRUE dex.ini flag to allow users to skip already upgraded companies during the Mekorma table maintenance process.

  • MICR 4133/3309: Temporary printing data are cleared out after batch check has been posted or voided. Previously the data are only cleared prior to printing a new batch.
  • MICR 4130: Fixed an issue where MICR check printing couldn’t load the signature files.
  • MICR 4090: The table upgrade process will avoid upgrading companies that are inaccessible to the user.
  • MICR 4020: Fixed an issue where the registration system reported a compatibility message with a build number that never existed. E.g. MEM Connector for Payables build 79 is not compatible with GP 2015 build 524.

  • MICR 3953: Fixed an issue where payroll checks were printed with the wrong address if the employee did not have address setup.
  • MICR 3976: Display a more meaningful error message when the installer fails. Previously the error message “Error” appears when installing with an invalid installation path or instance name The error also occurs if attempting to install an older version of MICR over a newer one.
  • MEM01 4124: Fixed an issue where the facility name is blank for applied credit memos that reside in history.

  • MPP 3694: Fixed an issue where print automation stops unexpectedly if ‘Send Document Email (Print if email cannot be sent)’s option is disabled on the ‘sProcess Payables Remittance’s window BUT MPP was configured to send EFT remittance email. MPP now recognizes when a company does not have email setup correctly and MPP will simply print the EFT instead.

  • MPP 3697: Fixed a get/change error when opening the MPP window where the logged in user does not have access to a company included in MPP processing. The error messages are:
    • A get/change operation on table ‘Batch_Headers’ failed accessing SQL Data.

  • MPP 3718: Fixed an issue where MPP print automation halts if both ‘Print Document’ and ‘Send Document in Email (Print if email cannot be sent)’ are not marked. MPP requires that EFT has a print destination before print automation can start.
  • MPP 3720: Fixed a display issue where the ‘Send Document in Email (Print if email cannot be sent)’ was not disabled when the MPP window’s ‘View Batches’ is set to ‘To Post’.
  • MPP 3724 3730: Fixed an issue where exception report is not printed when EFT emails failed to send due to improper company and/or purchasing email setup.
  • MPP 3726: Fixed a redisplay issue where a printed EFT batch still shows up when the ‘View Batch’ option is set to ‘To Print’ on the Multi-Batch Print & Post window. It now shows up correctly under ‘To Post’ area.
  • MPP 3728: Fixed a bug where MPP window is not refreshed properly when both EFT remittance options ‘Print Document’ and ‘Send Document in Email (Print if email cannot be sent)’ are marked.
  • MPP 3749: Fixed an issue where a regular batch using MICR checkbook setup to print remittance via GP Report Writer is not printed.
