New Features - Build 10
 1. ConnectWise 2014.4 is now supported.

 2. The Manufacturer Part Number column on the Document Items tab now supports a drop down list of part numbers. When you click on the drop down it will load all the part numbers from the product database that is specified in the vendor column for that line item. If the vendor column is empty, (as it would be for a new line item), then the Product Database selected on the QUICK LOOKUP toolbar will be used. The list will be sorted by Manufacturer Part Number. If you press and hold the SHIFT key while clicking on the drop down list, then only the products that have a Manufacturer Part Number that starts with the value currently in the cell will be displayed.

 5. When selecting the File->Duplicate menu, the new TicketNumber column is now cleared if the option "Remove Line Item SONumber, PONumber, OrderDate, and TicketNumber" is selected.

 6. There is now a TicketNumber field for the Purchase Order Items. When purchase orders are created from orders, the ticket number in the order line items is copied into the purchase order item ticket number. This ticket number is displayed in the PO item on the Purchasing and Ordered Items tabs of the purchasing window. You can also search by ticket number to find an ordered item, or even to select items that you need to purchase.

 7. For ConnectWise users, when QuoteWerks creates ConnectWise service tickets, the service ticket that each line items is assigned to is now saved in the QuoteWerks line item. Later when this line item is used in a Purchase Order, the ticket number pulls through to the purchase order enabling you to know on the Purchasing window the order status of each item on a particular ConnectWise ticket number. You can also search to see all the items related to a ticket number and then order those from the Purchasing tab.

 8. For ConnectWise users, on the Purchase Order and Ordered items tabs, you can click on the ConnectWise Ticket number on the Purchase Order item and the Ticket will be opened in ConnectWise.

 23. For ConnectWise 2014.5 users, attachments uploaded to the ConnectWise opportunity would not be accessible. QuoteWerks has been using a proprietary ConnectWise API to upload files to ConnectWise all through ConnectWise versions 2010,2011,2013,2013, and 2014.4. Something changed in ConnectWise 2014.5 preventing this from continuing to work. This was the last set of functionality in the QuoteWerks integration to ConnectWise using the ConnectWise proprietary API. This functionality has now been re-written to use the ConnectWise public API for uploading file attachments.

This issue was introduced in build 10.00 and was a result of the new feature to have a drop down list of vendors in the Document Items tab. [Service Release: 10.18]

 27. For ConnectWise on-premise installations, attachments uploaded to the ConnectWise opportunity would not be accessible. This was a result of the implementation of the ConnectWise public API changes released in v4.9 Build 10.17. [Service Release: 10.21]

 28. For Autotask users, when clicking on the "View Opportunity in Autotask" button on the Create Opportunity Window, an error would occur and the Autotask Opportunity would not open in the default browser. [Service Release: 10.21]

 29. For Goldmine users, "unknown rectype (OZ)" error when saving opportunity. [Service Release: 10.21]

 30. For ConnectWise users, under the Contact Manager tab of the Tools->My Preferences menu, clicking on the [Test] button would cause error 428. [Service Release: 10.22]

 31. For ConnectWise users, when adding an attachment on the Create/Update ConnectWise Opportunity window, an error would be returned and the attachment would not be added to the ConnectWise Opportunity.
