Revised customs procedures (SAD Harmonisation). Major changes have been made to Exportmaster in release 4.11 to cover the latest requirements of HM Revenue & Customs in connection with SAD Harmonisation. These relate to CPC codes and series, declaration parts, commodity pack records, methods of printing declarations and the new electronic file format for NES declarations. A user guide for the new SAD Harmonisation features – EM SAD Harmonisation Features.pdf – can be found on the latest Exportmaster distribution CD in the Manuals folder. (31/10/2007)
Accumulators and sub-totals. A new set of accumulators permits the calculation of multiple sub-totals and totals at various user-defined levels (e.g. ex-works, packing, freight, insurance) for quotations, sales orders, shipments and purchase orders. The resulting figures can be printed on documents and reports. For full details, see the document EM System Configuration Guide.pdf in the Manuals folder on the Exportmaster distribution CD.

Pro-active deadlines and reminders. A new facility brings overdue or nearly-due deadlined items to users’ attention pro-actively on Exportmaster’s main menu screen. It also shows reminders of pending activities. All activities that have been flagged up by the system can be accessed directly from the reminder screen. Activities can relate to quotations, sales orders, shipments, purchase orders or items entered by users in personal To Do lists. (15/10/2007)
Vista compatibility. Microsoft Windows Vista™ has been added to the list of operating systems recommended by Exportmaster for its Version 4 software. The others currently approved are Windows XP™ and Windows 2000™ Professional. (30/09/2007)
Improved screen legibility. Exportmaster has adopted Tahoma as its default font. TrueType fonts such as Tahoma can be used with Microsoft’s ClearType technology to provide on-screen fonts with smooth edges that more closely resemble printed text. This technology greatly improves readability on the TFT flat screen monitors found on notebook computers and modern desktop systems. (30/09/2007)
Version 4 released. Exportmaster Version 4 has been released free of charge to all supported users. Notable improvements relate to multiple contact handling, quick-switching between activities and, for TOPS users, major simplification of the sourcing and quoting sections, allowing direct access to all major functions from within individual sales enquiries themselves.
