Includes database changes. c9 will force you to log all terminals out during upgrade.

  •  Account Customers
    • Accounts now have a suspended flag.  Cannot transact with such accounts.
    • You can now write off bad debt on account customers.  Recorded as a different transaction type which appears as a separate line item on transaction tally and business reporting.
    • When recording a bad debt the account is automatically flagged as suspended.
    • View Customers: Enter key triggers view customers again, not modify. (Swap caused by recent UI change)
  • Workshop
    • Modified effort so it tracks as time interval measure. Not an arbitrary number
    • Effort displayed on main select job screen
    • Weekly planner
      • Previously would only show rounded down effort summary. Now shows as hh:mm correctly added up
      • Up/Down move buttons now allow you to organise order of items under a date.  Instead of just modifying the date of the highlighted item
      • Ability to filter planner based on scheduled mechanic. (Notes are never filtered)
    • Track date unit arrived in the shop as separate from start date.
    • Estimates : set/modify effort. Effort is copied onto job when job is created based on an estimate
    • Categorise job types into one of the following:
      • Internal/Pre Delivery
      • Regular Service (Periodic Maintenance)
      • Repair (General Repair)
      • Modification
      • Warranty/Recall
      • Other
    • C9 now memorizes column widths for main workshop select screen and weekly planner
  • Spares : if account has custom defined name of main/mobile then print that on A4 invoice instead of stock 'Mobile:' or 'Phone:'
  • Misc
    • Entering time fields now more flexible. Previously you could not key in '6' or '630' but it would accept '06' or '0630'.  Now fixed.  Other subtle tweaks too. i.e. ':30' means '0:30', where previously it was interpreted as '30:00'
    • Colour coded list controls such a workshop job list would lose colour coding intermittently going back to plain uncoloured lists when doing operations that heavily manipulated the list ; for example move items up and down relative schedule.  Now fixed.
    • Bug fix : F12 receive part would not work and not recognise parts ready to be received under some unusual and rare circumstances.  Following will replicate behaviour.
      • Receive contains parts that have been superceeded and supercession was recorded after order was originally received
      • In f12 screen there are invoices below the invoice being selected
      • In f12 screen the last invoice on the screen refers to parts on order from a franchise that not the same franchise as the part system is trying to receive
  • Remote access
    • New version deployed to cope with time format input and colour loss bug on lists
    • New version is alos now self signed.  Last few versions were not meaning you could not run remote client inside a web browser.  Should now be fixed.
