Includes database changes, you need to log all terminals out during upgrade

• Added created date to customer records. On upgrade system preset/estimate created date for existing customers by looking at first transactions/activity records/units owned etc.
• Workshop jobs : increase maximum size of job description to order number to 80 characters
• Bugfix with job notes and locations. Add/modify job note did not permit setting of location, meaning created notes would be invisible on terminals locked to a given location.
• Added new field to stocked items : when item was last stock taken. Intent is to help with managing inventory by being able to report on items not stocktaken for a while, to help hose out crap inventory data that has been present for years.
  • Under setup is a configuration option the automatically sets stock take date on stocked items whenever parts are received from suppliers to be stocked. This option (defaults to set) assumes restocker will verify and correct qty on hand from restocking sheets generated by c9 on receive/restock.
• New stock take methodology, freeform stock take.  See details below.

In c9 is a new stock take option which allows you to freeform stock take. The screen design is visually similar to point of sale but is geared towards stock taking.  System is designed for optimised use with barcode scanners, allowing you to either scan each item, incrementing the stock take, or scan once and manually key in new quantity.  System allows you to stock take stuff c9 doesn't think is currently in stock.

Spare Parts -> Free form spare parts.  Behavior should be reasonably intuitive/obvious.  For optimum use, configure your barcode reader to emit STX/ETX. See this post for more info.
