_changelog OTM Update 3.0 – 2010-08-02

  1. Online order
    Customers with service pages can place an order using an online form. The online form is converted automatically to a PDF file and added to the project documents. The PM gets a message under “Orders” that the order has been received (just like when a faxed order has been uploaded).
  2. Additional languages for communication with customers
    All communication with customers (e-mail and PDF documents) can now also take place in Dutch and Portuguese (BR). The customer user interface is also available in these languages.
  3. Back-end tools for adapting standard texts
    The following standard texts can now also be individually customized in the administration module:
    - e-mail to customers
    - texts in documents for customers (quotations, invoices, credit notes, etc.)
    - services offered
    - OTM web site navigation menu
  4. Resource service pages
    The color themes were upgraded.
  5. Various other minor improvements were implemented.
The next OTM update is scheduled for September/October 2010.

_changelog OTM Update 2.6 - 2010-07-16

  1. Partial invoices can now be created as postable documents in a project. They are taken into account on the final invoice.
  2. Customer credit notes (for example, a goodwill credit note) can be created for a project.
  3. A payment request can now be generated for a project. This is the commercially correct solution for customers subject to prepayment. A proper invoice can be generated after the prepayment is received or the project is concluded.
  4. Features 1, 2 and 3 can be tracked appropriately in the OTM bookkeeping module.
  5. Further improvements were made to the token editor for localization. This is not seen directly by licensees.
  6. Various other minor improvements were implemented.

The OTM 3.0 update is scheduled for August 2, 2010.
