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

This verison introduces a global stolen vehicle database that is triggered from VIN numbers.  At key points in c9 (purchase unit, start new workshop job, add a unit) c9 in the background will interrogate stolen database list and alert you if the bike is flagged as stolen and which dealership flagged it.

To flag a unit as stolen so that other dealerships can also see this, goto modify unit and tick the checkbox that says 'Stolen Vehicle

Other changes

• Spares
  • Export Price file : include option to export as CSV file (instead of just OPEA)
•  Workshop
  • Timesheet report would not work while running c9 remotely. Now fixed.
• Bugfixes/misc
  • Increased max chars on SMTP server from 40 to 60
  • Paypal integration.  Under some rare circumstances c9 would incorrectly track amount of money collected from paypal so far resulting in errors when closing out a paypal sale.  (Cause: pointofsale screen did not drop till objects if left open, so subsequent sales would rewrite wopayment on an unrelated invoice, resulting in c9s tracking of paypal ops being incorrect. There might be impacts also for eftpos integration with this bug as well, likely eftpos journals being duplicated in the database.)
  • Includes a possible fix for long running issues that impacts a couple of c9 users who have dual monitors and relatively modern computers.  (Possible low level defect in java's RepaintManager causing VolatileImage objects it serves up to be somehow broken making screen refresh wig out repainting incorrect buffer sizes.  Resetting buffer settings on RepaintManager at critical points seems to of  fixed it. One identified trigger point is transition of add labour and message window that pops up that says 'labour added'.  Suspect issue is video driver buffer has some sort of race-condition associated with switching in new OS level windows. Instrumented c9 code using decorated RepaintMaanger suggests c9 is honouring AWT thread contract and keeping everything on AWT dispatch thread, so race, if it indeed is a race, is unlikely to be caused by c9 code. ).

While new Honda API Transitions in, following describes how to access Honda service reporting data the old fashioned way.

In c9:

• select Miner.
• Select load standard query
• Scroll down to Honda report and select 'Service Record' and press Selectrr
• Click 'F4 process query', key in date range and press OK

• Spares
  • Suzuki EPC import. Cope with importing  some old models where there is no yearcode, i.e. RM250X - 1999 and RM250X - 1981
  • Edit Franchise : Honda APIKey/Honda dealercode changes were not being saved in this screen (was working in order setup screen so possible to workaround)
  • Import OPEA price file : new optional to optionally import packqty data from OPEA file. Useful for new Kawasaki price files.  Still need to tell c9 what to do with this data (edit franchise : pack order tab)
  • Export KTM/Husky order file.  Option to split order file into multiple files because their website cannot cope with order files with more than 200 line items or so.  Split size is configurable, defaults to 200.
  • Place some constraints on activity records on spares that can be deleted (original constraints relaxed in July 2015, reintroducing some of these constraints to prevent incorrect deletion of deposits added on account. sales activity can still be deleted/undeleted).
• Units
  • paperwork.  Obscure bug with printing paperwork would show incorrect figures in situations where presales jobs are modified after the unit sale was processed, incorrectly picking up new line items from presales workshop jobs which were not actually included in the unit tax invoice.
  • paperwork. Included following wording with a checkbox on all CoS cover letters. "I, the purchaser confirm I have received a copy of the terms and conditions of this contract (Purchaser to tick)"
• Miner tweaks and fixes
  • bugfix with report tallies crashing sometims (due to improperly rewritten clarion picture defs)
  • improve count tally so it is possible to show  a count for numeric/date & time fields.
  • Bugfix with rendering min and max dates aggregates
  • Report screen not rendering properly and running slowly under some circumstances when trying to change aggregate function, now fixed
•  Misc
  • Profit summary : rebate components incorrectly calculated. Now fixed.
  • Visual tweaks to C9 DMS and help about web buttons so it is visually obvious you can click on these
  • C9's internal CSV decoder (used for importing generic) was handling backslash as an escape char. Though some CSV files do this, generally it isn't the standard. Realigned with standard. System now imports Kawasaki price file accurately with this change (previously would mess up a couple of parts).
  • New startup option on command line, allows you to fine tune first screen that opens when you login to c9, so you can have differeent icons on your computer opening different parts of c9.  This is done using command line setting start=<location>.  Location is based on top + left menu bar option (doesn't work with old school menu system). For example spares/orders/advanced/browseactive opens the Browse Active option under orders / advanced in spares section of c9.  Name is exactly as you see it in c9. Some examples:
    

    startup.exe start=spares/orderbook
    startup.exe start=spares/orders/advanced/browseactive
    startup.exe start=workshop/scheduler
    startup.exe start=contacts/reports/agedtrialbalance
