"Farm Works...so you don't have to."

Farm Works Software

Version 8.3 Update Features

• Fix Notations so "acres" no longer has an extra "s" on the end.
• Fixed bug where entering total acres (for equipment with acres as the charge unit) would copy the quantity to all fields instead of pro-rating based on field sizes.
• Fixed the inventory quantity being recalculated in the Farming box whenever the area farmed was changed.
• Fixed bug where clicking inside the "Area Farmed" of the Farming box would reset the Actual Rate to the Expected Rate.
• Changed Copy Project so copying Supplies only now includes REI information.

• The Invoice/Statement report has been reformatted to include due dates and comments (that are entered in the dialog box before the statement is printed). The report will also summarize harvested crop sales so fields are not listed. The report is now formatted so it will fit in window envelopes.
• The General Ledger Detail Report now includes check numbers.
• Narrowed the width of some columns on the Account Register so it will fit better when printed on some printers.
• Changed the Budget Setup box and Budget Reports so they accounts are listed alphabetically.
• Fixed date range on people enterprise statements so that the hours worked are only for the dates on the report not all time.
• Changed the W-2 box so it only lists the employees that were paid in the year to be reported (employees terminated in a prior year are no longer listed).
• Changed the W-2 box so the Print button is not the default button because it is too easy to send the W-2's directly to the printer.
• Changes to support new magnetic media reporting of W-2 data.
• Allow using the enter key to close the W-2 dialog box.
• Increased the column width in the Batch Print checks box so that the scrollbar does not cut off the cents on dollar amounts.
• The Employee Summary Report dialog box now lists people in alphabetical order, last name first.
• Changed the Feed box so it no longer lists deleted supplies.
• Fixed bug where renaming a checking account would cause loss of the last reconciliation date.
• Fixed pictures on the Calculate Pay and Payroll worksheet buttons on the Time and Pay dialog box to match the pictures on the Payroll toolbar.
• Animal Loss box now uses the date in the Dialog box (before it always used the Working Date).

• Changed the way layers are loaded so layers with a large number of lines display substantially faster. This affects soil type layers with large numbers of small lines.
• Changed Line Widths so they work with metrics.
• Fixed Transparent Backgrounds so it works properly.
• Changed the Shape File import routine so columns that have blank names do not cause problems in the program.
• Changed the Shape File import routine so columns with duplicate header names do not cause problems in the program.

• Tee Jet controller read back fixed so that only complete records are parsed.
• Hiniker controller now has option to use or not use the Ag Leader snapshot protocol.
• Added Hardi controller.
• Added Kvernland controller.
• The program asks "Are you sure" before deleting objects.
• Site Mate can now run from a PC Card.
• Allow Implement switch on any comm port not just the port the GPS is plugged into. This means you can use a Navman with the implement switch plugged into Com 1 (before the implement switch had to be plugged into the same Com port as the GPS receiver).

• Changed the program so when you edit a supply usage that was applied to less than the entire field it no longer defaults back to the entire field.
• Added "Expected Rate" for supply usage. This stops the problem where the program was computing expected rates and the quantities would change from field to field due to rounding.
• Changed harvested crops so quantities harvested can have three decimal places.
• Updated the layout of the scale ticket box and buttons used.
• Conversion to fix people with $0.00 cost from Trac Mate. There was a bug in the past where the cost for people (from Funds) did not get applied to the fields where the people worked (if the hours were entered in Trac Mate). Version 8.3 includes a conversion to fix these (prior hours will have a cost applied to them).
