MBS, DVA, Fund updates

SWITCHING MBS/RVG ITEMS FILES

Normally you would change to a new items file by going to the File Management menu and clicking Select an Items file. You can still do this by going to the rename Maintenance Menu.

For added convenience, you can now do the same thing by clicking the Use another book button on the bottom of the Items page on any account. The current items file is displayed for reference.

A similar button is provided in the Options form on the Unit and Time Values page.

MBS/RVG ITEMS FILE NOW UPDATES THE DVA RATES

When an MBS/RVG items file is attached, the built in rates for DVA, TP and WC are updated automatically. Previously these had to be manually updated by entering the appropriate rates into the Options form.

For multiuser installations, this will insert the new rates into the current data file only. Multiuser installations need to update the rates for each data file. This can be done for all files at one time using the global procedure in the Options form.

SWITCHING HEALTH FUNDS

Occasionally it is useful to be able to switch between versions of the health fund fee file. There is a new option to do this on the Health fund fees editing form (Maintenance Menu > Databases > Health fund fees). Click the button at the bottom labelled Change to another fund file version or click the version information label on the top of the form.

WEB AND DISK UPDATES

Note that the web and disk update functions both install the downloaded files automatically. Consequently, if you have just downloaded and installed an MBS/RVG items file or a new health fund file, you don't need to do any additional installation steps. However, this also means that you should not run the update procedures until you are ready to use the new files. (Of course, you can always revert back to earlier files if you need to as described above.)
