The 2020 version of WinTree® CONNECT (Version number 9020) cannot be installed on computers or servers that still use Windows 7 or Windows 2008. Microsoft stopped supporting these windows versions since January 2020. Microsoft also stopped releasing updates for these operating systems, which results in Microsoft no longer guaranteeing the safety for these versions. This is the reason that WinTree® will no longer be able to be installed on these operating systems. The minimal requirements for the operating system of the computer or server for the new WinTree® CONNECT 2020 version is: Windows 8 or Windows server 2012. |
The 2019 version of WinTree CONNECT was mostly dedicated to the new Plant Passport system, the changing module setup and the link with TreeCommerce Messenger. That doesn’t mean that the development of WinTree® has come to a halt. In the autumn of 2019 TSD spend a significant amount of time improving the Plant Passport system. And there are a lot of wishes of customers regarding new functions within WinTree has been incorporated which results in a better and more efficient use of WinTree.
Below you will find a summary of the most important, practical and stand out issues that are included in this new version. This list is most certainly not complete. Some of the new functions and fields will emerge during the work on WinTree®. Our employees on the support department of TSD will be available to answer any questions when it isn’t clear how the new functions operate. You can send an e-mail with a clear descriptions, preferably with a screenshot, to support@tsd.nl.
On the manual-site we have added some new pages with the function/menu descriptions. Have a look at the manual site and see if there is a manual available when the use of a function is not clear.
The numbers in the titles of below summary refer to an internal reference-number (issue). Please mention this number when you have questions regarding this issue.
Points with a (B) in the title are suitable for all users, regardless of the module structure according to the new basis WinTree CONNECT. Every other points are available in more extended contracts.
Passport field A - Genus / Plant name (B)
The Inspection organizations in the United Kingdom demanded that the Plant Passport field A will be filled with at least the genus and a specific name.
When you want to use the full Latin name as a default setting you can adjust the parameter. Go to File - Settings - Properties and click on [parameters]. This button is only available when you have admin right within WinTree. Search for parameter 2601. Set the value to 2 (Full Latin name). Restart WinTree in order to finalize the changes.
Via File - Basic information - Others - Countries there is a new button [Passport A] available.
With this button you can collectively set all the contacts linked to this country to a deviating value than set in parameter 2601.
Click on this button to adjust the value per country. The following pop-up will offer the next options:
[Yes] = Fill field A with Genus
[No] = Fill field A with full Latin name
[Cancel] = Nothing changes.
Via Maintain contacts - Tab "Parameter" you can adjust the setting per contact in instead of the default setting in parameter 2601.
When you’ve chosen to use the full Latin name it is most likely that you need to alter your Plant Passport label layouts as well. This means that the field for Plant Passport A will need to be wider to fit in the full Latin name.
The Plant passport information on your delivery note and or invoice will automatically change.
Printing the phytosanitary registration number on the purchase documents
When there is no phytosanitary number known in WinTree it will automatically use the NAK-T number, also filled in in the supplier information.
Passport information/fields available on Call up labels
Passport fields on the invoice, being able to print out historical data (B)
If you need to provide your older statistic lines with the Plant Passport information in order for you to reprint the invoices with the Plant Passport, please contact TSD.
PZ register; able to merge PZ codes (For the purpose of ZPCONF) (B)
Via File - Basic information - Stock - PZ register - Tab "General", you will find a button called [Alter or merge code]. Click on this button and the Code will be adjustable. If you fill in a code that is already in use in the PZ register a pop up will appear telling you that the code is already in use.
Click on Yes if you would like to merge both of the codes. The former PZ code will disappear from the register. The old code will be altered to the new collective code on the already existing sales lines and batches (purchase and stock on location). Subsequently the PZ-register codes will be re-arranged into an alphabetical order.
Click on [No] in the pop-up if you don’t wish to make this change in your PZ-register. All your changes will be undon
PZ-register code based on sales or batch (B)
Setting a deviating phytosanitary number and country of origin per location (B)
Via Basic information - Stock - Locations you can alter the phytosanitary number and country of origin per location. Please note that the entered country code is a match with the country codes available in WinTree (Basic information - Others - Countries). There is no automated check to ensure that the country code you enter is correct. Both fields need to be filled in in order for it to print on the label.
Please note: Any amendments in the PZ-register that are required by the local authorities will always need to be manually altered by the WinTree users themselves.
Order Entry, checks on PZ-register code (B)
This check was not set up when using the Order entry screen, in which it is set up to allocate immediately. These batches will be suppressed in the Order entry screen. By using the "Ignore PZ" check box, the batches will be made visible and will be available to allocate onto. When the genus of the plant is not required in the PZ-register, than all the batches will be shown in the Order entry screen.
Order entry, not able to use the check box "Ignore PZ" (B)
Order entry, value check box "Ignore PZ" adjustable (B)
Plant Passport on the invoice (B)
Maintain stock, open maintain stock per location if there is only 1 location present (B)
Since the transition to WinTree CONNECT many users have the ability to use location management, but only use one location in their database. When you use Stock items - Maintain stock - stock per location WinTree will automatically open this location instead of the search window, but only if one location exist in the basic information of WinTree. With this new function it will make the maintaining of new stock easier and faster.
Number of labels per trading unit adjustable
This option is added in Stock items - Maintain Plant sizes and Maintain stock items - Tab "Labels". Via the dropdown list for the "Labels per:" you now have the option for Unit.
The number of sold/delivered units will determine how many labels will be printed.
The following labels are included for the option "Labels per: Unit"
- Order lifting/call up label
- Sales-label
- Delivery lifting/call up label
- Picking label
When a label where the option "Units" do not apply WinTree will use the default setting "Label per line". If you have the field "Etiket aantal" present on your standard layout, this will show the amount of the plants that are linked to the sales line.
Importing sales order, being able to import quicker
Sales order, some improvements (B)
• By setting the parameter 2583 to the value 1, the drop down list to select a delivery will be opened immediately. Based on the delivery date from the sales order it will select an existing delivery of this customer. When there is no delivery available with this exact delivery date it will select a delivery with the nearest date. It is always an option to just select a new delivery.
• The field "Extra info" is visible and can be changed.
• If the module "Mediation committee" is in use than the check in the checkbox supply will be placed. On the condition that the customer has been set up in "Auction" and that the Buyer number is not filled in.
Forerun label : Sorting available (B)
Via parameter 2576 you can set up that the forerun label will have the same sorting as stated in parameter 755, this can be done by setting the value to 0. When parameter 755 is not filled with a value you can adjust the sorting of the label via the layout wizard of the label. The standard setting is jobnumber and Label ordernumber, you can adjust the sorting to your liking.
For printing the supplier’s name on the forerun label you need to have the field Attribute 3 in your layout. Fields that are not necessary on the forerun label can be overruled with the assistance of TSD, by creating a formula-field. Please contact TSD when required.
Invoice, adjusting the sorting of the packing lines (B)
In the print options screen for the invoices we have added a new tab "IV". This tab makes it possible to adjust the sorting of the packing lines on a sales invoice. Move the fields in the right column over to the left and adjust the sorting by placing them back in the order of the requested sorting. You can do so by using the [>] and [<].
The adjusted sorting will be saved in parameter 2599.
Receiving goods: only print stock labels
Call up process, improving the procedures
Making and sending of call us is a complex process in WinTree. Because of the large amount of actions that need to be processed within the system when sending a call up, the regular procedures were no longer up-to-date. The procedures have been upgraded which results in a faster and more reliable call up process.
If the call ups are unexpectedly not send, you will receive a notification of this when re-opening the call up screen. The last call up will be shown in the menu again and can be resend.
Inward goods, changing the cost price and saving it
In the Inward goods screen you can now adjust the cost price manually. The adjusted cost price will be saved for this batch when you ultimately receive this line. With the help of parameter 2605 it is now possible to change the costs price without receiving the batch just yet. For this you have to set the value of this parameter to 1.
Call up label via scanner/PDA, option to have a supplier dependent label
There is a new option available for printing the call up labels via scanner or PDA. This option will allow you to set up which call up label (Lock, pot label or sticker) to use per supplier.
Contact TSD to discuss the possibilities for this extra option and the implementation of it for your business.
Being able to open the delivery via the call up screen
Supplier offers, collectively adjust the amount
By using this method you can also collectively adjust for example the cost price of text. This option is also available for use in the sales order- and purchase order menu.
Import fictitious stock, matching with a different supplier can be temporarily disabled
It is now possible to temporarily turn off this parameter. A new parameter is created for this, parameter 2581. Put the value of this parameter to value 1 and when importing a list it will now show an extra checkbox in the import-menu named "Broad matching other contact". When the value of the parameter is 1 the box will always be checked. When you uncheck the box and reopen the screen it will not remember the change of setting.
Call up labels printed via scanner/PDA, adjusting the sorting
Please contact TSD to set up the value of this parameter in the correct way.
Fictitious stock, purchase and totalize, adjusting the price
Transports, various documents to print
A new parameter 2535 was created, which allows WinTree to print out various documents for a planned transports, such as Delivery notes or CMR.
Contact TSD to set up this parameter if desired.
Retail labels from PDA-scan, also print labels with inward goods
It is possible to print out retail labels in the delivery for customers. There already is a possibility to print out these retail labels via inward goods via the PDA-scan application.
When you scan the call up via a scanner/PDA-scan the call up labels will be printed. Via several parameters it is possible to set up that the batches will be received immediately after scanning the call up. This results in the batches not having to be manually received, which led to the retail labels not being able to print when receiving goods.
WinTree has a new option to also print out the retail labels when directly receiving goods.
Contact TSD to find out if this option will be useful for your logistic process.
New lifting label for printing out the total per article (B)
In WinTree you can create multiple deliveries where the line can be allocated on your own stock (batch status =0) and on purchase (status =1). Based on the delivery date it is possible to print out all the collected lifting lists (print option "Only show total"). It is possible to print lifting labels for these deliveries, but those will be lifting labels per allocation.
WinTree has a new option, especially to print the lifting label in which one label will be printed per article. It will show the total amount that needs to be collected. So a totalisation per article of all the selected delivery lines. With this label the lifting crew will be able to collect the plants. Once the plants are in the warehouse the plants can be picked for the different deliveries using the picking-labels.
You can contact TSD if you would like to use these lifting labels
Deviating SQL for Excel-attachment based on document and per contact (B)
In WinTree there is an option available to use a deviating SQL-command, which will give the ability to change the content of the excel sheet before sending it via E-mail. This SQL-command can be used for all contacts.
Contact TSD for creating this SQL-command and to set it up per document and/or contact.
Printing document New version: FastReport (B)
When printing documents, WinTree uses a report generator, named FastReport. The version of this report generator has been renewed, in which the developers of WinTree now have more possibilities to choose from to improve existing documents and to develop new documents.
Manage the pictures via a web browser (B)
Via the photo function in the WinTree App you can link pictures to articles and batches. It wasn’t possible to link these pictures to fictitious stock or purchased batches. TSD has created a new function that will make this possible. TSD can activate this function for you with parameter 2587.
After the activating of this parameter an extra button [Pictures in browser] will appear after clicking on the QR-code in the MyTSD portal. The stocklist, which is also used in the WinTree App, will be shown in the web browser, on which you can link all the batch pictures to. The pictures can be imported from your own computer after which the pictures will be saved onto the cloud. This function is not only useful for linking pictures to fictitious stock and purchased batches, but also to link large amounts of pictures to the batches and stock items from your computer.
Condition for use of this photo function is that the App user is not the admin within WinTree.
Please contact TSD to activate this extra photo-function.
Document, setting up a deviating BCC (B)
Beside the deviating sender, it is now also possible to fill in a deviating BCC per document for e-mailing. Go to File - Settings - Tab "Lists". Select a document for which you want to use this setting. Click on [Print options]. Right click besides [Options] in the selection screen and select Properties.
A pop-up will appear in which you can set up the BCC and sender for this particular document. The dropdown list will show all the employees know in the basic information of WinTree. Click on [Ok] when you are content with the changes and close the selection screen by clicking on [Save].
This setting is useful when multiple users send out invoices via WinTree and you want one main e-mail address for sending out invoices.
Preventing automatic allocation when importing an order (B)
Option to put the call ups in one delivery (B)
0 = Do not collect
1 = Yes, automatically book into an existing delivery with the same delivery date
2 = Yes, automatically book into an existing delivery with lines from the same sales order
3 = Manually set a delivery, default value is "New delivery"
4 = Manually set a delivery, default value is "Existing delivery with same delivery date"
5 = Manually set a delivery, default value is "Existing delivery with lines from the same sales order.
Allocating receipts afterwards
If WinTree Cash & Carry is used in combination with a receipt printer than this usually means that when you print a receipt for the standard scan-customer WinTree won’t create a sales invoice. By using this process with the receipts, the normal order delivery invoice won’t be saved within the WinTree database. The receipt will be saved in the statistics without an invoice number. You can’t allocate afterwards because no sales order lines have been created in this process.
To make it possible for these receipts to be allocated afterwards you can use parameter 2602 and set it to value = 1. This will result that a scan-customer will receive a receipt and it will be logged as an invoice within WinTree. Which means that there will be a sale order, delivery and invoice created in the WinTree database. The layout of this invoice will be fitted to the receipt. The number on the receipt will be your invoice number. Because of this you will be able to allocate these lines afterwards.

With a link to a financial software program this will result in the receipts being booked as outstanding sales invoices. The payments for these receipts will not be imported into the program. |
Contact TSD to discuss the possibilities for the use of normal invoices printed on your receipts.
