Recent News

  • 07/30/08 Okay so recent is a relative term here. Besides the Windows compatible version of Main Course we've added two new vendor APIs for D&H and Wynit. We've also done a lot of custom projects for a few customers. Building on the vendor interfaces we've created modules to automatically create purchase orders to fulfill your customers' orders and automatically receive on drop-ship POs. We've very recently completed a module which can send e-mails to customers whenever a new invoices is generated and/or send an e-mail account statement. There have also been many EDI interfaces to do and R&R forms and custom reports. We haven't been idle by any measure and all of our customers benefit from the custom work we do so keep the ideas coming.

  • 03/22/02 The first Main Course windows module is ready. The Windows General Ledger will replace your existing DOS G/L module which will be removed from the Main Menu. You will now access the G/L from a normal Windows Shortcut.

  • 06/22/01 There is a demo of the still in development Main Course Windows version available in the downloads section. This is a working demo of the order entry section. We would like to get some feedback on our efforts so far so please take a few moments to check it out.
  • 02/05/01 We will be shipping the rest of the V6.80 Update CDs to all users with support contracts over the next couple of weeks. If you do not have a current support contract you can purchase the upgrade for $950. The list of changes and fixes is available in the downloads area.

    We are currently testing two new EDI Reporting upgrades, one for HP and another for IBM. Both upgrades allow you to report via the Internet. The HP upgrade is $300 and the IBM upgrade is $350.

    Contact Sales to order any of these upgrades.

  • 01/04/01 Once again we've been remiss in updating the news. That's because we've been hard at work on various projects to help you run your business smoothly. Here's what we've been up to in the past year:
    •
  • 01/03/01 There is a fix available for a problem with certain reports which abort if you use a start date of 01/01/01. You can get around the problem without the fix if you just use 01/02/01 as the start date. The modules affected are Accounts Payable: Post A/R to Checkbook, Aging and Future A/P, and Review Open Invoices; Accounts Receivable: Aging Report; Inventory: Physical Count Update; Reports: Sales and Receipts Journal, Sales Journal; Transfer Orders: Shipping and Receiving Reports; Service Manager: Contract Renewal Report.

    The latest version of the software,     V6.80, fixes the problem and will be shipping to all users current on their support contract over the next month. If you received the V6.80 update already in December you do not have the fixed version, you will have to contact us to get the fix. To get the fix now, send us an e-mail with your request: support@amisoft.com

  • 03/01/00 - 10/31/00 Various custom changes and reports were developed for individual customers. See the V6.80 changes list for those that were included in the general release. The windows version was an on-going effort during this period as well.

  • 02/01/00 We have an as yet unnamed import/export program available which supports various data formats. This allows you to interface with other systems. For example, you may have a web-site which sends you order information that must then be re-entered into the Main Course. With this program the data can be added automatically as it is made available.
