Printer's Plan SQL Version 1.6.12 Release Notes (5/08/2026) – Print Reach Help Center

This release includes a number of fixes and improvements to enhance system stability, reporting accuracy, and overall usability.

New Features & Enhanced Functionality

Configurable Paper Size Label (Finish Size / Flat Size)

Feature Goal

As requested by users at the Reach on the Beach conference, provide the ability to choose the size label displayed in the Paper Specs window and on printed documents.

Background

Previously, Printer's Plan used the label "Finish Size" throughout the application, and the text of this label could not be changed.

Solution

A new setting has been added that allows each shop to choose their preferred size label. To configure this option, go to Settings > Job > Job Options.

The new setting is labeled: "In the Paper Specs window, choose the default size label (Finish or Flat)"

A drop-down menu provides two options:

Finish Size — This is the default and preserves existing behavior.
Flat Size — This is the new option, using the correct industry terminology for the pre-bindery sheet size.

The selected label will be reflected in the Paper Specs window:

It will also appear consistently on all printed documents where the size label is referenced, including the Work Order and the Cutting Diagram.

Credit Card Authorization:

Feature Goal

Improve the credit card authorization workflow in the Deposit window by automatically closing the window upon a successful authorization.

Background

Previously, after authorizing a credit card and dismissing the success message, the Deposit window remained open. The Print and Save buttons available at that point were causing issues for users.

Solution

The Deposit window will now silently close after a card has been successfully authorized and the success message is dismissed, preventing any unintended actions.

To authorize a credit card, open the Deposit window and selec Authorize Card for Job:

In the Authorize Card window enter the tranaction details and click Authorize

Upon success, click OK on the confirmation message:

The Deposit window will then automatically close.

Fixes & Improvements

Quotes & Orders

When opening an item on a Job, and then closing it without making any changes, Printer's Plan would incorrectly prompt users to save. This has been resolved and the save prompt will now only appear when actual changes have been made.
In the Job List, sorting by the Date In and Date Due columns was only taking the month into account and ignoring the year, causing records to sort incorrectly. This has been resolved and both date columns now sort correctly by full date.
In Paper and Carbonless services, the Parts field was being ignored when generating a Work Order, causing the Finish Size and End With quantities printed on the Work Order to calculate incorrectly. This has been resolved and the Parts field is now properly factored into both calculations.
When a Web Order was submitted with a new Contact or Ship To address that did not yet exist in Printer's Plan, the order would be created but the Contact and Ship To would not be associated with it, leaving the Ordered By and shipping address fields blank. This has been resolved and Web Orders now correctly associate new Contacts and Ship To addresses upon submission.

Jobs & Scheduling

Fixed an issue with Job Tag sort order.
Several Scheduler reports were missing date columns that were present in previous versions. The Progress Report by Job Due Date and Items reports were missing the Job Due Date column, and the Items by Location report was missing the Proof Date column. All missing date columns have been restored.
Corrected tax sorting in the job totals section so it now displays alphabetically.

Job Documents and File Attachments

When clicking the File Info button on a document within a Job, Printer's Plan would always throw an IDispatch error (3092). This has been resolved and the File Info button now works as expected.
Files with apostrophes in their names previously caused two separate issues: they could not be detached from a job, and they would cause document form letters to fail. Both issues have been resolved.

Services

When creating a new Service Category, the selected category type was being ignored and defaulting to Other regardless of what was chosen. This has been resolved and new categories now correctly save with the category type that was selected.

Shipping & Labels

When opening the Shipments and Labels window for a job, existing shipments were not displayed by default — users were required to click the All Shipments button to view them. This has been resolved and all shipments for a job now appear automatically when the window is opened.
Corrected formatting issues with dates and decimal values on shipment labels for improved accuracy and readability.

Reporting & Statements

When a credit invoice was created for a job that included a discount, the Net Sales amount was calculated incorrectly in the following tax reports: Summary of Taxes, Summary of Taxes (Paid Invoices), List of Taxes, and List of Taxes (Paid Invoices). The discount was not being applied correctly to the credit invoice, causing the Net Sales figure to reflect the full subtotal rather than the discounted amount. This has been resolved and credit invoices with discounts now calculate correctly across all tax reports.
Four tax reports — Summary of Taxes, Summary of Taxes (Paid Invoices), List of Taxes, and List of Taxes (Paid Invoices) — were displaying the full database query at the top of the report instead of the filter criteria. This has been resolved and all four reports now display correctly.

Inventory Tracking Update

Inventory changes were not always saving correctly. This issue has been resolved to ensure updates are consistently applied.
