New Features - Build 16
 1. IMPORTANT. When converting a document to an order or an invoice, the options to preserve the existing document have been removed from the File|Convert to ... menu. They are now a global setup option located under the Installation tab of the Tools|Options menu. After installing this update, make sure that you set the appropriate action on the Installation tab.
