Naviteer Broker and Distributor Updates
This is a list of the latest updates to Naviteer Editions. Naviteer programs are updated on a regular basis.
The version information is available at the bottom of the screen.

Version 19.33.22.4p August 19 2025 through Version 20.6.3.1b January 12 2026
ORDERS
Fix order header column sorting issues. Some columns not showing in the VIEW structure even though in the browse and hot fields via the browse template. Causing
ORDER BY SQL failure as it inserts a 0.
Add multi-user checking to customer order form procedure to check for changes and if the order has been posted. If posted, abort the user's update, if not, the changes will get loaded from the first user update and the 2nd user will need to make their changes again. Also add the same check to the order product form
Fix product lookup by product code where > 1 products exist with same code but different principals
Naviteer Report Builder: contract design completion. Reduced note size on the sales memo and invoice and indented 2". Finish RMA report builder procedure and add support for it.
Fix product price issue on order entry product update procedure reported by various clients. From the last software update. Something broke after the multi-principal product code fix. Fixed and installed update to all installs.
Add option to archive orders by a cutoff date. They stay in the tables for now but are filtered from the browse when viewing All via the new SMH_Archived flag.
Add more vertical resize bars, etc. Update some old procedures. Customer Order History for example
EDI
Fix 875 issues per email. Missing payment terms / due date.
Research/answer email and access to Writeoff data.
875: determine requirements for utilizing the IPP Calculate Sale Total using Net Weight checkbox, either in the EDI data or when the order item is created in SMD table.
875: apply principal products Calculate Sale Total using Net Weight checkbox in the Create Active Orders procedure.
EDI add splitter resizer bar between the header/product browse via EasyResizeSplit
Fix inconsistant non reproducibal product linking issue . Principal orders only, for example: Same product code but different descriptions. Get and restore their latest database backup for testing.
Check some product lookup logic. IPP_Status not being used. SQL to show duplicate principal product (same description, principal and usually different product code) and pack/size (include blank pack sizes).
Investigate and fix 860 issue where product was added when it should not have when there was just a date change.
Change file processing to allow for EDI files to be processed again even though the file is in the file log but ONLY if the record shows not imported (no date) and the 850/860/875/876 counts are all ZERO. This will eliminate the error message and allow files to be processed via subsequent attempts thus eliminating tech support
communications.
Investigate EDI order that had a blank header but had a line item. They recoved themselves and created/finished the incomplete order. I was able to locate the file and test imported the two POs contained within. They processed without issue. Added to the main EDI window (hidden button) pop the files processed log for quicker access.
Add option to archive EDI orders by a cutoff date. They stay in the tables for now but are filtered from the browse when viewing All via the new EOH_Archived flag.
850 import refactoring: move file processing to a dedicated procedure. The process procedure will pass the file name to the new EDIProcess850File procedure. This effectively clears all record buffers, queues, local and global variables for a 100% clean slate at the start of each new file.
Mobile Phone CRM App
Rename Action Log -> Activities to be consistant with the other main stream CRMs, ie: Salesforce, Hubspot, Zoho, etc. Rename Opportunities -> Deals and Opportunties. Rename Action Calendar to just Calendar.
Create database table/column mapping to mockup document. Companies, contacts, activities, opportunities, products, lookups, filters, etc
Remove/hide from Activity update forms and browses: Meeting, Private, Status, Importance and Time Spent. Add Closed checkbox. Red if checked. Update the 4 forms and browses.
Add logic to Activity Save/update to set the new Closed checkbox optionally with the default being yes if the start/end date is <= today().
App testing and determining table record errors
Update CMAD install for new Activity Type/Category enhancement. Seed the tables via SQL script.
Try and solve the error mystery of records added to CRMContactLog via mobile app. Added /SETNULL=TRUE /NULL=TRUE to global driver string. CCL:Location was set to NULL by mobile app and blank by Naviteer. Caused error for some reason. Update CMAD install and test with mobile app.
CRM app testing and data validation (required fields). Test with new SQLDriver options added to deal with NULL values.
Date analysis: Isaak: Seems like we have two date formats for two scenarios: For create: 2025-11-06T10:00:00.000 For edit: 2025-11-06T10:00:00.000Z
Data Conversion and Import Utility
Add to NAVSQL.exe's FinalUpdate procedure: routine to update CCL:Cancelled=1 IF Status = Completed or Cancelled as the Status field is now inoperative
Multi-User
Implement RowVersion methodology for multi-user conflict checking and resolution. Primary DCT tables updated with new RowVersion field that gets incremented and
checked with each record update, from forms,posting and other processes.
RowVersion extension template development for ease of multi-user conflict checking and prevention, e.g. add to form procedures. Specify update table and RowVersion field + message to display if two or more people are on the same record at the same time. Add sqlcmd -S MyServer -d MyDatabase -E -i FixRowVersions.sql This changes all new RowVersion fields from CHAR(8)/STRING(8) to TIMESTAMP, which is not directly supported by Clarion. The field is also READ-ONLY and is not updated by the
Clarion apps. Happens automatically on SQL table INSERTS and UPDATES.
Contracts
Eliminate old packaging and replace with Pack/Size on printouts.
Make the printing of the signature box an option, like on orders. Add contract printing to Naviteer Report Builder.
Dictionary
Fix error where FileManager trys to update the new RowVersion and cannot because it's a STRING in the DCT and a TimeStamp type in the DB table. Added the FM3 field option to force the type to TimeStamp.
Fix as did not work: Fix error where FileManager trys to update the new RowVersion and cannot because it's a STRING in the DCT and a TimeStamp type in the DB table. Added the FM3 field option to force the type to TimeStamp.
Add DateArchivedOn to SMemoHeader and EDI_OrderHeader, along with indexes.
SQL Reports
Remove single instance template from Easy Edge browser to allow multiple reports to be run simultaneously again.
AI
Explore embedded a.i. interface requirements. Have ChatGPT generate the Clarion/Chilkat/Nettalk code and instructions for implementation and a template for easily adding.
Dashboard
Create a "By The Numbers" dashboard procedure that shows important information gathered instantly via SQL's COUNT(*), SUM(), AVG(), etc. Print option.: Yes — it’s a very good idea. Naviteer needs a “By the Numbers” dashboard. It’s one of the fastest ways to elevate perceived product maturity, and it gives prospects an immediate “ah-ha” moment:
“This system actually knows my business and shows me what matters instantly.” Spreadsheets can’t do that. Most small brokers have zero visibility unless they cobble together manual summaries. A clean dashboard becomes both a selling point and a daily operational tool.
Version 19.09.09.1d March 3 2025 through Version 19.33.22.4p August 19 2025
SQL REPORTS
Add ability to filter down to specific sets of SQL Reports based on where the user is coming from. For example, if in Accounting last, show accounting reports, etc. Create procedure template to generate code to set the global variable to the SQL Report type upon procedure launch.
ORDERS
Tagging and filtering updates.
RMA
Updates to RMA procedure. Rearrangement of product entry controls. RMA Product entry: Add Auto Fee Calculation checkbox with it being checked by default.
Uncheck to enter a fixed fee.
Version 19.09.09.1d March 3 2025 through Version 19.31.20.4n August 7 2025
ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE
Fix adjustment posting to allow for the creation of open credits that do not get applied to anything.
Print deposit (preview) AFTER posting. Show POSTED ON MM/DD/YY on print header (proof it was in fact posted since before you could print and then delete deposit).
QBO
Add class lookup to principal customer update form. Add class import.
Fix: Principal Customer Add issue, Class import issue, test.
INVENTORY PROCESSING
Eliminate record not found error when adding principal product records. Nothing wrong with the data.
PRODUCTS
Add Due Date and Region to Product Sales Tab/list and order item history list.
IMPORT/EXPORT TOOLS (Internal Use Only)
Import/Export tool/template/procedures for customers/prospects. Duplicate check option, truncate customer table option.
Added ImportCode S5 to Customer and Vendor tables for use in backing out batches of imported records when a mistake is made and they need to be re-imported
correctly.
SECURITY
Added more security features. Determined how to add Secwin to the unlimited number of report types (data driven and not procedure/control driven).
EDI
Add new UPC code field to the principal product table. Update 875 import to do a product lookup via UPC code IF no other product code is specified. If no vendor is specified than product MUST exist via UPC code sent. If more than one product uses the same UPC code, link the first one and create an exception message so the user knows to link to the correct supplier product on the final order, e.g.: multiple suppliers of the same product.
875 import: UPC Code lookup and no vendor specified coding, per new option.
Add G70 Pack/Size support which has appeared in customer 875.
G72 segment support testing. Add logic to deal with UPCs that do not contain a product code. Add logic to deal with multi-principal POs.
Add support for new 875 allowance per case in the G72 - Code 5.
Document EDI changes. Some additional refinement. G76 and NTE segment investigation.
Add support for stripping leading 0's from the PO# to the 875. Was in the 850 but not in the 875.
G72 - add multi segment support. Create new EDI_ProductsFound table, browse and report to be used to show the user the products missing and the products that do not
have a description match as the product code might be wrong.
EDI Products Not Found In Naviteer browse tool/product UPC update development. Missing Products: fix Cancel option issue where it should do nothing. Fix principal name not showing on SMD products created from EDI line items where the missing product was linked.
Wrote code to update EDI_OrderDetail records where it's not linked to an IPP record. After user uses new tool to update UPC and product codes, this will set the links on the EDI_OrderDetail records that need it so they can then be created to live orders.
Tag Temp Order: disallow IF there are any items with no principal product link or the header is flagged with errors or warnings. Disallow clearing the warnings flag if any items are missing IPP link so they cannot sneak it through.
REPORT BUILDER
Install latest Naviteer Report Builder which has the fix for image display. Test and verify.
PRINCIPALS
Build procedures for new PrincipalManufacturers table and add tab with listbox with add/change/delete to principal update form. To accommodate listing all of the manufacturers and their UPC code that a principal represents. User will also be able to look up a manufacturer and see all the principals that distribute their product(s).
SQL REPORTS
SQL Report interface changes.
ORDER ENTRY
Order header: move Prior Order # to show under Invoice Data, make it editable, make available on searches.
Add Tagging checks to disallow tagging on Canceled orders and posted orders that have already been posted accept if they are QBO users and the order has been posted in Naviteer but not to QBO. Show appropriate messages. Change behavior of Include Posted filter option to just show Posted, Canceled, Terminated orders and not mix them with
unposted.
Tagging Changes
You can no longer tag orders that have been Posted or have been Cancelled.
A message will be displayed.
The exception is that for Quickbooks Online users, if the order has been posted in Naviteer but not in QBO (failed for some reason such as connectivity issues), you can tag and post the order again. Posting to QBO will be attempted again.
Customer Order List Filtering
There are now two filter options. The Search Wizard (user defined and runtime queries) is used in conjunction with these two filter options.
The default customer order list (when the window first opens) shows Open orders only (not Posted and not Canceled). This has not changed.
.png)
There are now two checkbox options:
They are initially unchecked. Checking Include Posted will cause both Posted and Canceled orders to be included with all Open orders. Turn the checkbox off to revert back to Open orders only
Checking the Posted Only will show Posted and Canceled orders in the list. Keep in mind that if you have many orders and many are not posted, this will impact performance, e.g. the amount of time required to load the orders from the data server. It is highly recommended that if you are looking for a specific order, first use the Search field against the sort column (default is Order No) or create and/or apply a Search Wizard query.
Then click the appropriate checkbox. One or a few orders coming back from the data server is a lot faster than unnecessarily retrieving 100’s or even 1000’s of orders!
You may notice that the Shipped, Not Invoice count top right of the order list now shows the Open Orders count (per any query/filter that is in effect). This number is more useful.
It is highly advised that you post orders within a reasonable amount of time of when the customer has received the order and you are fairly certain that changes will not need to be made. This greatly reduces the overhead on the customer order list and allows you to create Principal Commission Statements and the Principal Commission Aging Report, along with other commission related reports. These reports only work with Accounts Receivable data which is created when orders are posted.
Canceled Orders and Canceling Orders
The correct method for canceling an order is to use the Cancel/Reopen option shown here:
.png)
It is no longer allowed to change the order status to Canceled on the order itself.
You will see this message and the status is changed back to Open:
.png)
Use the Cancel/Reopen method.
Canceled orders are shown with a red X in the P column. Posted orders are shown with a green check:

Version 19.01.01.1a January 6 2025 through Version 19.09.09.1d March 3 2025
ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE
Fixed deposit Reverse logic to deal with any related open credits that were created. Fixed open credit info on the A/R drilldowns from order entry for selected order. Add principal customer name or customer name as applicable per the data. Changed Principal header to Principal/Payor.
Added new 2050 account (Unearned Revenue - over payments/open credits) to the startup General Ledger (G/L) accounts. Added code to add this account and default to it for Open Credits in G/L default accounts, for existing users.
Available open credits show in the list on the receive payment form IF the deposit that generated the open credit has been POSTED. The open credit gets created during the deposit posting. Added a message when the payment is saved and it has any open credits being created:
.png)
GENERAL LEDGER
Updated General Ledger (G/L) window fonts, sizing and icons.
EDI
Added option to only download EDI files and not process, to be processed later or in a test database.
Made changes to EDI 997 creation.
CRM
Increase font size and make layout adjustments (font type and size changes moves controls a bit so have to realign) on some CRM windows to match the rest of the system.
QBO
Added option to allow the use of the Purchase Order number as the order number when posting to QBO.
Customer Product Transfer
Customer Product fixes and enhancements, setup per quantity ordered range (child table). Order item form processing update.
System Wide Updates
Window updates, ie: fonts, sizing, positioning, etc. This is ongoing until completed for the most used parts of the system.
Version 18.48.30.5w August 13 2024 through Version 19.01.01.1a January 6 2025
EDI
Made a few modifications to processing of EDI 997 functional acknowledgments. Principal as a Customer not being created: Updated vendor/principal add form to not add if required fields are missing. Message is displayed. Created EDI procedure to add principal customer after principal is first added via the various EDI import procedures.
ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE
Adjustments to A/R deposits drilldown. Refinement of A/R details. Disallow unposting of orders if there are any unposted deposit allocations. Added logic to check for unposted deposits containing allocations for the proposed invoice to be unposted. Offer to delete the allocation else disallow unpost and they can remove it manually. Reverse Single Payment function: add option to create an open credit like when an order is unposted and payments are reversed and sent to open credit(s). Payment Reversal: add order# to the description of the open credit and G/L transactions. Add tagging to the deposits table. Add processed tagged option to the Excel Export. More unpost / reversal / open credit tweaks. Deposit processing additions: add function to reverse/delete a payment (and all allocations) on a deposit and update deposit header total. Add what was done to the report audit trail. Fix to update deposit data: we have an issue with posting of deposits. If a customer posts a deposit and the check entry was wrong, we have no way to correct the deposit amount. When we run the Deposit report the amount is not correct. Reverse payment gives the choice of creating a credit or delete payment. The delete payment should lower the check amount on the deposit.
ORDERS
Unpost order: any payments reversal amounts are now moved to an open credit linked to original payment deposit. User can then apply the credit to the newly corrected and posted order. Hide net weight prompt is none is available. Add Send To option for headers per BC task. Also added it for the products, useful for big orders in case a user wants to export the products to Excel. Add option to allow for customer invoice style selection. Less detail and more detail options. Call the matching invoice print procedure. PRSP style and original styles to start with. Long term, will be redesigned via a Report Builder to allow for easy runtime modifications by tech support and the user (but they can't change the original).
PRODUCTS
Added calculate checkbox options to distributor principal product update form. Add Customer Prices tab to the principal product update form to show all customers that have specific pricing/details for the selected product. Would make it easier to update customer prices as product prices change. One location to drilldown from instead of having to go lookup each customer and product.
QBO
Posting error handling improvements. Added NAV to invoice number posted to QBO. Add option to show QBO processing log entries for the selected order. Hide if QBO is turned off.
SQL REPORTS
Allow more than one report to be run at a time, if possible. Resolve issue with running multiple SQL reports. Tested via DEMO login via tsPlus in Chrome browser. Ran multiple reports at the same time (open report preview windows) without error. Turned on MDI for the Easy Edge Chromium preview window. Make the EE Chrome report preview window completely resizable (horizontal). Add more tile options to the main menu frame Window menu.
REPORT WRITER
Added new Report Writer procedure so customer service can make changes to order printouts and create simple reports as necessary. Installed Report Builder for addition to Naviteer for possible customer invoice / sales memo alternative and general easy to use integrated end-user report writer. Added templates to the Report Builder.
USER INTERFACE
The Message Box window was set to white. Too much white! I tried a few colors and settled on Alice Blue which is a super light shade of blue not used elsewhere in the system. A visual improvement for all messages, error messages etc. Hide information that would confuse clients.
INVENTORY PROCESSING
Lot Adjustment improvements, posting to inventory and G/L. G/L window UI Improvements, font size increase, better arrangement of controls, elevate to Naviteer UI standards as G/L has not received any attention since nobody uses but that will change with distributors.
PRICE IMPORT WIZARD
Fix the Check box to use if a header line is in the file does not work. Using the check box removes the top 2 lines not just the header.

Accounts Receivable
Enhanced Charges and Adjustments procedures for both customers (distribution) and principals as customer (broker).
Added Debit and Credit Memo updates to footer text and printouts.

EMAIL
Added code to default a new setup to use Naviteer email hosting sender. The client can add their own email sender if desired.
The EmailFaxDefaults record is retrieved. Now, if the outgoing server has not been specified, it and the other fields get set to our new defaults.
These values are passed onto the user when first added and when the user record gets updated at startup IF no outgoing server has been specified. This insures that email is always functional for all users regardless if they are an existing user or a new instance of Naviteer is being installed.
Added a makeover to the email windows.

Allowed for elimination of a print signature line. Fixed the print test button to show an example of the printout. Modified the logo sizing and clarity.
EDI
Added EDI viewer for inspecting EDI875 (Grocery POs). An EDI viewer program must be installed on users computer to use viewer. All non EDI 850 or 860 files are stored in a separate folder for viewing. This is a temporary solution for working with EDI 875 files.
USER INTERFACE FORM UPGRADES
Many forms have been upgraded to show required fields. The required fields will have a red background shading.
ORDER POSTING
Tagging for posting of orders is now multi-user.
EMAILING
Commercial email clients like Outlook, Gmail and Yahoo are requiring external use of the client to abide by new rules. These are supposed prevent spamming. These rules also prevent many outside programs to use their email servers for distribution of emails. The solve this issue Naviteer has created a send only email address that can be used by our clients to send emails easily. Accounting email was added to the email list as a Type.
VARIABLE WEIGHT PRODUCT ENTRY
Many clients have product that have a variable weight. The product is entered as an expected average and later the Principal/Supplier will show the total weight on the BOL. If the commission is based on the total weight, the order needs to be changed for correct commission calculation. In addition, sometimes product are sold on a carton basis but, the commission is based on weight. This can now be handled in the application. Product sales totals can now be entered on a different basis than commission calculations.
COMMISSION INVOICE
Modified invoice to print totals on last page and rearranged the look of the invoice.

EDI
Installed simplified version of EDI 850/860 processing. Added multi-van import of EDI files. If imported EDI 850 files are error free, the system can automatically create a customer order. Error free import of EDI 860 will also update existing customer order automatically if desired. Added EDI Trail Audit to Customer Orders to see EDI changes that have been applied to an order. Switched to pull the percent loss allocation from the description string instead of calculating from the EDI loss totals. It appears loss totals are not reset when more than one product is on the order.

CUSTOMERS
Removed phantom buttons from browse table. Removed Principal lookup and attachment button from customer record. This is now done automatically in the background.

Help
The help file has been updated to include both broker and distributor program help. Help documentation is being updated on a regular basis.
EDI
Fixed issue in 850 import that is not setting the accrual properly from the customer products table.
Added product to add logic to 860. Lots of code to copy over from 850 and modify to fit POC segment layout.
Cleared tables when adding a new 860 to eliminate false discounts etc.
Order Processing (QBO)
Customer order principal commission posting. User selects orders by principal and date range. User tags those orders. The orders are consolidated into a single order with line items for each order/commission amount. QBO invoice/bill gets saved so that they can query the orders that were billed via single invoice. Preprocess to verify that the tagged orders are indeed for a single principal. Unpost process will work but, prompt for QBO link. Can either delete manually or can delete via QBO Online connection (future).
Created software update document for new QBO batch customer order principal commission posting procedure and upload to help.
QBO batch posting issues. Cleared QBO posting variables in when cloning an order that has been posted to QBO. If posted to Naviteer and not QBO, post to QBO only.

Quickbooks Online
QBO testing shows an invoice was successfully creating in QB. Currently verifying all data transfers. Created initial QBO installation/setup documentation. Added QBO Principal/Customer adds to QB and links to Naviteer.
EDI
Create SFTP error log table and log any error that any of the SFTP functions return along with date/timestamp and file name (if known). Fixed issue where some files were being downloaded with zero file size.
After data and code analysis, was determined that the 860 PO lookup should not include the customer because if the customer lookup fails, the
PO is not updated. Client has multiple customers sharing the same Other ID but with different regions. The 860 does NOT send the region code via REF*19* like it does in the 850, therefore the customer lookup will fail. Changed the 860 import to just use PO # and if > 1 found, an error message is logged so they know the process did not update because it does not know which one is the correct one.
Completed new lookup by PO# only and logging. EDI message fine tuning and new notes.

New EDI option to specify the product code to use in Naviteer product via 2 digit acronym, ie: IN, VN, UP, IT, etc. Update 850 import to utilize. Added as a result of date where UP and/or IT are specified. There can be up to 3 product IDs. Sometimes the first one is missing (VN) and the product ID to use is in the 3rd slot. Added support to get the 3rd ID if IT type (don't use UP / UPC code).
Add support for using definitions in the new EDISender table for each sender ID from the GS segment.
Add support for ShipFromName. Add as Principal Warehouse if does not exist and link it to the PO's order items. Was getting added as a customer because we knew N1 contained data.
