Any users who have already upgraded to Version 6
should NOT download or install any Version 5 updates.
Information about Version 6 can be located on the Version
6 web page.
Version 5.11 M will be the last update release
for AVM-2000 version 5. Users will need to upgrade to Version 6 to obtain
any new program features or modifications.
The Version 5 Upgrade may be downloaded from the Download
5 web page.
Users who own version 5 and have a current Annual
Maintenance Agreement in place may still download Version 5.11M for a limited
time.
Version 5.11 M released Mar-06-2007
 | 337 Form, Rev. 10-06 - modified the behavior of the
"Date" block on the back page of the 337 at the top of Block
08. This date field was originally programmed to use the Conformity
Date, and now instead uses the "337 Date" from the Main page of
the 337s form. This modified behavior is consistent with the Date used
at the top of Block 08 on the 337 Form, Rev. 12-88. |
 | Environment > Date - fixed problems where users
with a date format other than American were experiencing problems using the
italic pop-up calendar date selector. This was especially a problem
for the Work Order Closed Date as users were forced to use the pop-up
calendar to choose their Close Date. |
 | Other - miscellaneous custom modifications |
Version 5.11 L released Feb-13-2007
 | 337 Form, Rev. 10-06 - completed modifications to
include the newest printout for FAA Form 337, Rev. 10-06, in AVM-2000.
Print choices still exist to print the 337 form Rev. 12-88 as well, in the
event that an "old" 337 may need to be printed.
* Some new fields/choices were added such as Aircraft Series, a new
choice for 6 B - "Certified Maintenance Organization", a new
choice below 6 D - "Extended range fuel per 14 CFR Part 43 App.
B", and a new choice for 7 Approval BY - "Maintenance
Organization". These choices only affect printouts for form Rev.
10-06.
* A new Series field was added to the Aircraft Database > Main
page, and if populated, will be auto-filled into the new 337 Series field
when the Tail # is selected.
* Some fields left in the 337 form are no longer used on the new form
Rev. 10-06 and a notation is provided on the screen to indicate this.
These fields will only work for printouts for form Rev. 12-88.
* Some changes were made in the 337 Configuration to accommodate
changes on the new form.
* Formatting changes were made to the Address auto-fill for
Registration Address and Block 6 A - Agency per the new form Rev.
10-06. 1 line prints with the street address, 1 line with the City and
State, and the last line with the Zip Code and Country. This change
will only affect new 337 forms created. (NOTE: If Block 6 A -
Agency is auto-filled, the Country used comes from the main Company Address
configuration under Admin > Global Config > General > 1 Company
Information)
* Users with 337 Templates may need to update their Templates to
accommodate the new form requirements, in particular, Block 6 A - Agency
Address.
Specific questions about the effective date for use of this new form, and
how to properly fill out the form, etc., should be referred to your local
FAA person. |
Version 5.11 K released Feb-09-2007
 | Environment > Date - fixed problem where
selecting a date format other than American still printed the dates in
American format on most printouts |
 | General Ledger - fixed obscure problem where
properly configured accounts would sometimes not show in the GL Picker or on
some Reports |
Version 5.11 J released Jan-10-2007
 | Invoices > GL AutoLoad Feature --
fixed problem where GL AutoLoad would issue a non-recoverable error when
using the Invoice Default Shipping configured GL account number |
Version 5.11H released Jan-09-2007
 | WO Convert to Invoice --
fixed problem where all aircraft data was not being copied over to the
Invoices (Make, Model & Serial # were missing) |
 | Screen Size & Position - new configuration
choice for each workstation. Located under the Admin > Local
Config > General > Appearance & Navigation. Turning on
the new choice to Remember Screen Size & Position will make it
easier for those monitors run at a higher resolution to consistently open
AVM-2000 to the same screen/window size and same position on the desktop
every time AVM-2000 is opened. |
 | Vendor Adjustments > Print - fixed intermittent
non-recoverable program error when printing multiple Vendor Adjustments |
 | Invoices, P & E's, Customer Adjs, Customer CM's,
Customer Deposits, Customer Payments, Vendor Checks, Vendor Payments Made,
Vendor Adjustments - fixed obscure, intermittent error where the POST

Version 5.11G released Dec-12-2006
 | Reports > Aircraft > Inspection Letters --
fixed problem where some customer names were "clipped off" on the
Inspection Letters and did not print entirely |
 | 8130's > Printing - fixed problem where selecting
new Dual Release option did not properly print blocks 21 to 23. |
Version 5.11F released Nov-22-2006
 | Work Orders > Main > Close or Convert
buttons -- added new function to stop users from Closing or Converting a
Work Order if any other user has the Work Order open on their computer. This
will prevent errors where the Close Date and/or Invoice # were not being
saved in the WO Main Page, etc. |
 | Work Orders - Multi-User Task Protection - new
configuration option allows users to "lock" individual Work Order
tasks to prevent more than one user from editing a task at one time. This
will help significantly with data loss by keeping one user from overwriting
the work of another user. See Admin > Global Config > Work Orders >
General > Main > Protect against multiple users. Users can still work
on different tasks in the same Work Order, or make entries from the WO Quick
Labor and WO Quick Parts forms into a task that another user has open. |
 | Invoices > Browse - now warns user with text
"Needs Calc" in the TOTAL column if a Work Order has been
converted to an invoice and the tax calculations have not yet been done on
the Invoice. Viewing the invoice, or printing the invoice, will calculate
the taxes, and make the TOTAL display on the Browse page. |
 | Invoices > Print Range of Invoices - improved to
now completely pre-process and re-calculate all Invoices before printing.
This will prevent an isolated problem where some users had invoices in the
print range that did not print the taxes. |
 | 8130's - now allows Dual Release in Block 19 |
 | WO Quick Labor > Browse - fixed intermittent
problem with the Delete button on the Browse page. AVM-2000 sometimes did
not let users delete labor entries. |
 | Help Files - the AVM-2000 Help Files and User's
Guide (PDF) were updated to include the instructions for using the new Work
Order multi-user protection functions, etc. |
Version 5.11e released Oct-27-2006
 | Phraser - added new function at bottom of the
right-click Phraser pop-up form to allow inserting Manual information into
any text block. Accessed by clicking on the new italic label
"Insert Manual Used Text from Tech Pubs Library". Choose a
manual from the pop-up list provided. The text inserted will say
"This work was performed in accordance with manual XXXXXX RevDate
XX/xx/XXXX Rev# X" |
 | ATC Form - If configured, now shows new options for
Sick, Vacation, Comp and Personal Time for employees to enter their own time
to be used / deducted from their benefit banks. Times must still be
authorized in the ATC Maintenance form. |
 | P & E's > Print > Shop Copy - fixed
problem where line items requisitioned from Work Orders would not always
show the correct "Balance Remaining" quantity |
 | AVM-2000 Help > AVM-2000 Help & Open User's Guide
-- updated help files for the ATC module |
 | Work Orders > Browse - added new "I"
column with checkmark to indicate if WO had been invoiced or not |
Version 5.11d released Oct-06-2006
 | Fixed Wing W & B - added your company's Line 2
Address to the Header of the W & B Printout |
 | WO Quick Labor - added new program
code to prevent users from saving Labor entries to DELETE Work Order
tasks |
 | ATC Form - added new program
code to prevent users from saving Labor entries to DELETE Work Order
tasks |
Version 5.11c released Sep-08-2006
 | Aircraft Database - added new program code to
prevent users from adding a BLANK tail # record |
 | Aircraft > Change / Combine - added new program
code to prevent users from changing / transferring an existing BLANK tail #
record to a new tail # (this caused problems where all WO's, Invoices,
Parts Used, etc. that had a blank tail # were changed to a new tail #) |
Version 5.11b - no
public release
Version 5.11a released Jul-19-2006
 | Work Orders > Browse - Added
new "highlight" function to give good visual cue on status of Work
Orders. New "legend" button added to page to assist users
with color scheme. YELLOW = Open, GREEN = Closed, NOT Invoiced, WHITE
= INVOICED. Also added new column to far right of grid for Invoice #. |
 | Work Orders > Tasks >
Print - fixed intermittent problem where Finish Date did not
always print correctly on these WO printouts. |
 | P & E's > Main > Print > Shop and Vendor
Copies - fixed intermittent problem where TERMS did not always print on
these PO printouts. |
 | Transactions > Vendor Checks > Clear P & E's
page - added new column for Pending Payments. |
 | CHANGE buttons - added text warnings to
"Change" screens (Customers, Vendors, Aircraft, etc.) that all
other users should be OUT of AVM-2000 when completing a change such as these
to avoid problems where any open records may not get properly
"changed". |
Version 5.10z released Jun-21-2006
 | Databases > Inspection Items
Master - Added program code to prevent users from making duplicate
entries. |
 | Databases > Inspection Items
Master - Added new "CHANGE" button to allow users to
change the name / description of an existing Master Item. This name
change carries over and updates the Item name for every individual entry
assigned to each aircraft for the "changed" Inspection item. |
Version 5.10Y - no
public release
Version 5.10X - no
public release
Version 5.10 W released May-08-2006 (Recommended for

Version 5.10 V released May-05-2006
(Highly Recommended for all Level 3 Users)
 | Invoices > Flat Rate Parts /
Tax Calc Problem - Fixed
error from version 5.10M where taxes were calculated on every individual
part's Sell price instead of on the Flat Rate Parts price (when Flat Rate
Parts price was used). (Note: See detailed Email notice for more
specific information.) |
 | WO Quick Parts / ATC -
NEW - checkbox was added to form to allow users to "look up" which
WO # the employee is currently logged into; or if un-checked, the WO # does
not get looked up. Also fixed refresh problem where WO # did not
update with each new Ecode entered |
 | Print to File - Limit Email list to Code - fixed
problem where the "limit to" function was not restricted to exact
matches on the code. (Example: Limit to CHTA would also show
email addresses for CHTA1 and CHTAN, etc.) |
Version 5.10U released
Apr-19-2006
Version 5.10T - no
public release
Version 5.10S released Mar-16-2006

> Print - when WO's are configured for SINGLE appliance use only --
fixed intermittent problem where sometimes the task printouts would not
correctly display the FAA Repair Station text |
 | Optional Label
Printing Module - fixed problem from 5.10Q
where label printing would only print a single label; even when multiple
labels where selected to print. (Note: By fixing this issue, another issue
has re-surfaced where SKU labels cannot be printed from the Print Preview
window directly in the Inventory module. SKU labels printed directly in the
Inventory module must be printed using the Print Direct to Default printer
option. CTI is still trying to find a fix for this issue.) |
Version 5.10R released Mar-09-2006
 | Warranty Apps and Warranty
Claims - fixed intermittent problem where
some users would experience a message on opening the Warranty Claim or
Warranty Applications forms: "Before leaving this window, changes were
made but not saved. You can either cancel these changes or make additional
changes and then save the record." This would then cause the user to be
unable to edit any existing records or add any new records |
 | Invoices > Printing -
fixed problem for 5.10Q users only where the "Terms" was not
printing correctly on all invoices. |
Version 5.10Q released Mar-06-2006
 |
Admin > Local Config >
Modems & Dialing - |
 |
Admin > Local Config >
Printing > Thermal Labels |
 |
Admin > System Info >
Troubleshoot - added new
"Available Drives" button for help with technical support issues. |

on them, etc. for SKU's, WO Comp ID or Address labels) |
 |
Work Orders > Details >
Print Label |
 | Work Orders > Other >
Add Trade to Inventory - fixed intermittent problem where a
non-recoverable error would sometimes occur |

Changing the task type on the Details page itself DID work correctly.) |
 |
WO Quick Parts
|
 |
WO Quick Labor
|
 |
Work Orders > Reqs
- added new functionality to WHS field for qualified drop-down list. Now users
must choose their WHS from the drop-down list rather than type the WHS
manually. |
 |
PO Quick Reqs
- added new functionality to WHS field for qualified drop-down list. Now users
must choose their WHS from the drop-down list rather than type the WHS
manually. |
 |
Inventory > Label Printing
- fixed problem where previewing a label on-screen would cause a
"Variable 'pnum' not found error. |
 |
Invoices > Taxes
- addressed issue where under certain, specific conditions, taxes were not
calculated on every invoice. This problem only occurred when an Invoice Type
was not selected, and the Tax Configuration was not completely and properly
filled out. Users are now prevented from printing or posting an invoice unless
a Type is selected to prevent this problem from occurring. |
Version 5.10P released
Feb-21-2006
 | Databases > Aircraft > Inspection Data >
Inspection Items Management - MODIFIED -- Made changes to how Inspection
Items are managed in the Inspection Items grid list. Previously, all
items were added / edited directly in the grid using the EDIT button to turn
grid editing ON or OFF. New functions shut down all editing in the
grid, making it Read Only. Users now get a pop-up editing form to
enter all data for an inspection item. All fields of information still
remain visible in the grid as they always have been. These functions
were modified to prevent problems with selecting and editing items in the
grid. The Help > AVM-2000 Help and the Open User's Guide (PDF) were
updated to reflect the changes made. |
 | Admin > Global Config > Work Orders > 3 Other
Types > Default - FIXED - Configuration option to mark one item as
the default was not working. Now users who have selected a default
item in the Other Types will have the WO Other line items automatically
populate with the default entry. Each entry may still be modified
manually by choosing a new item from the WO Other "Type"
drop-down. |
Version 5.10 O - no release
Version 5.10N released
Feb-14-2006
 | Admin > Global Config > General > 2
Miscellaneous > Navigation & Advisories > Find Most Recent -
NEW -- Option available to locate "most recent" (newest) entries
in Browse > Search fields, instead of first (oldest) entry in the list.
Example: Company CHTA has 1200 Work Orders in your Work Orders
database; some dating back to 2001. When this option is turned
"on", the search field for Customer Code = CHTA will locate the
newest, most recent Work Order in the list instead of the first Work Order
they had done in 2001. This works in Work Orders, Invoices, P &
E's, Log Books, etc. for Customer Codes, Vendor Codes, Tail #'s,
etc. |
 | Email Error to CTI - FIXED -
intermittent problem where auto-generated text was incorrect for emailing
error information to TangoWare. |
 | General - NEW - Warning text for
messages "This record has skipped ID #'s . . ." modified to
include text that another user may have created and not saved a new record.
(This issue occurs in multi-user versions of the program only.) Lets the
user know that there may not be a real problem with the numbering scheme --
there may just be a user who started a new record in that module and has not
yet saved that new record. Users should be reminded to save all new records
as soon as they are created to avoid this problem in multi-user
installations. |
 | General - NEW - Automatic Font
Installation - Startup of <Product_Name> verifies that all fonts
required by <Product_Name> are installed at the workstation. If a font
is found to be missing, the font is automatically installed for the user. |
 | General - Help files - NEW -- added new
"Update Release Notes" section to the User's Guide and on-line CHM
Help so that users have quick and easy access to the list of new items
included in the updates. |
 | General - Contact Grids - Fixed -
problem with r-click for phone dialer not working properly in 5.10m |
 | General Ledger - Fixed - problem where
copying an existing POSTED adjustment also copied the POST DATE information,
making the new adjustment un-editable and un-postable |
 | P & E Config - NEW - increased
entry fields to hold 9 digits for PO, RO & RGO auto-incrementing numbers |
 | WO's > Exchanges & Repairs - NEW
- increased Description field to hold 35 chars (similar to Inventory >
Description field). |
 | WO's > Labor pg - NEW - when
"Hide Employee Hrly Costs" (Admin > Global Config > Work
Orders > General > Main) is turned on, the "Profit" Total
field no longer displays on-screen. (This protects more data and forces the
Labor page to behave more like the Tasks page totals.) |
 | WO's > Tasks > Add > Move
(Transfer) Task - MODIFIED - now checks that no one is logged into the
ATC (Time Clock) in the task being moved. The user is stopped and will not
be allowed to move the task if an employee is logged into ATC in the task
being moved. |
 | WO's > Equip & Parts - NEW -
when a task has been marked as a Template, users will now have the option to
deplete Inventory or not on the Equipment or Parts pages of the Work Order.
A new checkbox option for "This task is a template, deplete
Inventory" can be found at the top of the Equip & Parts pages, only
for tasks marked as templates. This allows users to set up a
"dummy" task Template without affecting on-hand Inventory; or
users may choose to deplete the items from Inventory if the task is a
"real" task and not just a "dummy" template. |
 | WO's > Main pg - FIXED - problem
where users could not manually type 6 characters into the Customer Code
field; they were forced to choose 6-digit codes from the italic pop-up list. |
Version 5.10M released
Dec-22-2005
 | Inventory Kitting - NEW Module -- a new function is
available to "kit" inventory parts together to create your own new
inventory parts. Available for serial or non-serial items.
Inventory parts used to create the kit will be depleted from Inventory upon
Kit creation. The newly created kit part will be added into the
Inventory as a new part. Options and choices available for cost and
list pricing, inventory control of BOM (Bill of Materials) items and
more. Create a set of Master Kits for ease of use, or copy existing
kits to easily create new kits. Picklists may be printed for pulling
BOM (Bill of Materials) items from your stock. |
 | Inventory Tax Exempt - NEW - added choices to make
individual inventory part #'s exempt from tax when the part is
invoiced. See the Databases > Inventory > Other page, and see
the Invoices > Parts & Equipment grid (new fields added - scroll to
the right). Monthly tax reports note exemptions from tax. Some
inventory reports may be restricted to tax exempt items. See the Help
> AVM-2000 Help menu choice for more specific information about this new
feature. This function may be used to exempt items from Tax 1, Tax 2,
Tax and/or Tax 4. |
 | Inventory (when WareHouses in use)
- NEW - function available for serialized WHS transfers allows users to
transfer a part from one part # + WHS combination (ie: ABCD ^
RPR) to an entirely new part # + WHS combination (ie: ABCD-1 ^ REB). |
 | Inventory (when Batches in use) - NEW -
added new button to Inventory > Batches page to make a Batch part become
"Standard", so that the user can then make the part into a
Serialized part if necessary. |
 | PO Receive / Inventory - NEW - Price
Averaging for Cost & List values may be turned on for PO Receipts of
standard (non-serial, non-batch) inventory items. This function is
turned OFF when you first update your AVM-2000, and must be turned on in the
Admin > Global Config > Inventory > 1 General > Main page if you
wish to use it. |
 | Inventory > Serials & Batches -
NEW - increased the field length / viewing size of the Notes field |
 | Work Orders Task Statuses - NEW -
configuration option available to populate the Work Order > Details
page's Current Status with your own list of statuses. Delete statuses
not used to shorten the list, or add new ones to better organize your
jobs. See the Admin > Global Config > Work Orders > 5 Task
Status Types for more information. Note to users with Security:
This is a new menu option, and applicable users will need to granted access
to this new menu option. |
 | Employee Labor Reports - NEW - choice
available to exclude a specific Task Type from report. See the Reports
> Employees > 2 Labor Summary. This function would be especially
useful to exclude SHOP Tasks from the Efficiency reporting (this would only
work if all SHOP tasks are assigned one specific task type). |
 | ATC Maintenance - FIXED - problem where
some overtime choices may not have been respected. This problem only
involved the option for "start OT after XX hrs / week", and was
only a problem if "40" was not entered into the hours. OT
was not properly calculated for anything other than "40". |
 | ATC Maintenance - FIXED - problem where
on-screen Totals at bottom of the ATC Maintenance > Main page did not
always "refresh" properly when an entry was edited. |
 | ATC Maintenance - NEW - modified the
ATC Maintenance > Main > Edit buttons so that users entering times in
the HH:MM:SS fields did not have their times adjusted once the HH.MM field
was populated. |
 | ATC Maintenance - NEW - modified the
Time Sheet printout (Databases > ATC Maintenance > Main > Print) to
now say "YES" or "NO" in Authorization column to make it
easier to tell if the times are authorized or not |
 | Invoices > Parts & Equip
- NEW - the grid is now "scrollable" for viewing even after
posting |
 | Invoices > Main > Print > Shop
Details - FIXED - problem where tax explanations for Taxes 2, 3 and 4
were not printing on this printout |
 | 8130's - NEW - increased length of part
# and serial # fields to 20 chars. Printouts print full 20
characters for both fields. |
 | Monthly Totals > Tax (Sales) - FIXED
- problem where printing the Tax Reports did not correctly print the Net
Taxed Amount if any OW was exempt from Tax. On-screen reports showed
this value correctly. |
 | Customer A/R Statements - NEW - added a
"box" around the Balance Due field at the top of the statement to
make it easier to see |
 | General - modified multiple forms to
allow users to manually type in 6 characters for the Customer Code or Vendor
Code instead of forcing user to select the code from the pop-up picklist. |
Version 5.10L released
Sep-15-2005
 | Work Orders > Main Page > A/C Hours
-
Fixed problem where any Work Orders that existed in the program prior to
upgrading to version 5 would display zero A/C Hours instead of the correct
A/C Hours originally entered into the Work Order |
 | Browse Page Keyboard Shortcuts - fixed
problem where using Alt + B keys to get to some Browse pages did not put the
cursor focus into any of the search fields, requiring the user to still use
their mouse |
 | PO's & Expenses - UnReceive - fixed
message text during Unreceive a PO Quick Req item that incorrectly reported
that the item was from a Work Order. Message now indicates that the
item came from a Work Order OR a PO Quick Req and cannot be Unreceived. |

shows negative Totals in parentheses |
 | Invoices > Print > Shop Detailed Copy
- fixed problem where Balance Due printed incorrect value |

List - Fixed problem where query for Shelf Expiration Date was not
returning any results, even though there were items meeting the criteria |
 | Work Orders > Labor - Fixed problem
where using Right-click to select a Date from the calendar would put cursor
focus up to the first entry in the Labor grid, instead of leaving cursor on
currently selected labor entry |
 | Work Orders > Finished Tasks -
Modified program to prompt users if they want to continue with the
add/edit/delete for Labor, Equipment, Parts, Other, Reqs, Exchg/Repairs when
a Task has been marked Finished with a Finish Date or Finish Status.
Users had previously been prevented from adding/editing/deleting when the
task was marked Finished. |
 | Work Orders - fixed problem with Work
Order form. When Work Order form is opened to the Details, Text,
Labor, Parts, Equipment, Other, Reqs, Exchgs/Repairs pages; and another form
is opened, there were problems with the incorrect data appearing when going
back to the Work Order. Users now receive a message that they must go
to the Items/Task List page to re-select the task. Focus will be on
the task that was just being viewed, so users will be able to immediately
click right back to the page they were on. |
 | Quotes - fixed problem with Quotes
form. When Quotes form is opened to the Text & Details,
Labor, Parts, Equipment, or Trades pages; and another form is opened, there
were problems with the incorrect data appearing when going back to the
