IMPORTANT SMS CHANGE.

Because we have changed our SMS provider, the phone number SMS Replies are sent to has now also changed.  New number is as follows. Old number will still work for a little while but not too much longer.

0447 157 802

This number is shared by all c9 customers. If you want your own number we can organise. There is a monthly ongoing charge for having your own number which customers can SMS reply to and reply appearing in c9 linked against them as a customer.

  • Spare parts docket: print reserve instead of tax invoice if there is no taxable supply on the receive (i.e. deposit surcharge).
  • Spare order magician order /backorder availability.  Show parts that cannot be supplied by supplier as red so it is visually obvious what stuff is likely to go onto backorder.
  • Harley electronic order price file : encode Daily/Stock order correctly in the file. Previously was hardcoded for stock orders only.
  • Unit invoices: was not printing footer text configured in setup. Was instead printing old defunct text which is no longer configurable. Now fixed.
  • Receive spares
    • show tallied value of parts next to mnaually editable parts value so any pending/unresolved discrepency is obvious during receive inputting stage
    • Bugfix with importing from PDF where a part is listed more than once.  System uses price of second item. Problem for some invoices like Yamaha as second item might be a backorder alert with a zero qty + price rewriting prior supply to a cost of zero.  Only update price if line item indicates supply.
    • Tweaks to SMS templates for alerting users to parts ready for pickup. You can now:
      • Show part + description or just part
      • Show list of parts for items supplied as well as parts still on order
      • Limit the list if it is too big. i.e. will display 'Part A, Part B and 3 others' for 5 parts limited to details for 2
  • Contacts
    • Quick SMS : provide a character count
    • View transactions. New option to view connected transactions. e.g. for invoice view payments that paid off the invoice. For payments shows invoices the payment paid off
  • EPC
    • KTM/Husky EPC import.  More factory website changes broke import. Working again.
    • Import EPC diagrams. Include fixes to better cope with switching from remotely linked diagrams to locally stored diagrams. Previously all sorts of things could go wrong and would require manually removing and retrying, mostly missing parts.
  •  Other
    • Added a backdoor user+password into login screen to make things easier for c9 to provide tech support.
  • Payroll ongoing work : payslips. Beginnings of rigid workflows for managing payruns etc.
