In the event the user schedules conflicts with other events in the system, the user will be warned of the conflict and the identity of the user with whom they are conflicting so that they can resolve the conflict.

If you are interested in acquiring the Facility Scheduler please contact us.

It should be noted that at present, the Facility Scheduler is configured to work with sales orders and purchase orders. We would be very interested in working with someone to extend that functionality so that it can work with work orders as well in order to provide a production line scheduling mechanism.

Credit Card Payment Handling - By Richard Kirkness

Sometimes many suppliers may be paid through a particular paying agent, usually a credit card company. If all the transactions are entered into the Minotaur system under the credit card company code, then the system does not have the detail of who the actual supplier was of what you bought. It is beneficial to have purchase detail by actual supplier, as well as by paying agent. In order to achieve this we have developed a new credit card payment system. Below are some of the features found in the new program:


	Users can define paying agents, such as VISA. They are also set up as suppliers.
	Users can designate a default paying agent for any supplier, so you can set up a supplier as being one that you usually pay with VISA.
	When a user is entering a non-inventory bill, there is a new field to enter the paying agent, which will default to the supplier default, if there is one. The user may accept the default, or enter a paying agent that is specific to this bill only. This field is just an information field at that point, it does not cause the bill program to do anything differently.
	There is a new program to pay agent bills. The user will select the paying agent, and the system will load the regular payment screen with all the invoices that have that paying agent recorded on them. The user may then choose specifically which items to pay on this payment.
	If the amount of the payment is more than the amount of all the bills, the system will allow the user to generate additional bills from within the payment program. This is to handle unanticipated charges such as interest or annual charges, missed invoices, etc
	The system will record the payment, and print a cheque payable to the paying agent, without item detail on the cheque stub
