RSS Feed c9 logo Australia's best motorcycle shop retail software
Release 4.689 September 12, 2017 barney

Includes database changes. You need to log all terminals out during upgrade.

This version of c9 ships with an initial fitment mechanism.  Allows linking of hard parts , after market items back to specific models.  At the moment the fitment stuff only feeds c9 powered websites and is only really useful for KTM/Husky brand at this stage. Though it might also work for Yamaha + Y-SHOP mix.  Plan is to extend further for aftermarket mapping down the track.

KTM / Husky stuff:

  • Import KTM parts images. Pull down and map fitment data during image download
  • Added new fiche importer. KTM -> Husky interchange. Allows a KTM dealer with a website to pull down husky diagrams off another dealers website. And vice versa. Strictly only works for KTM/Husky dealers and only if they are running a website. Everyone else can continue to use remote diagrams
  • allow a franchise to be configured with a preferred OEM. So if you are a Husky dealer, you can add KTM pricefile, but configure KTM pricefile to redirect to Husky pricefile where there is overlap. e.g. select a KTM part c9 will automatically flip to Husky part if there is such a thing in point of sale

Other changes:

  • Import parts images. Default part description to import as detail only scope
  • Modify web images. Default main text to be detail only scope
  • Import fiche : added better error trapping and handling. Previously could do odd things like leave database in uncommited state
  • Workshop unit selection. Disallow transfer of a unit from/to the dealership if c9 units module is enabled.
  • Support tools
    • Include a big link under Main menu 'Remote Support' to open up remote support tool
    • Included another link to open up our remote support webpage
  • receive spares.
    • Screen redesign : Make it obvious at top of the screen what is going on.  What OEM franchise is being received, who creditor supplier is, and whether or not a bill is being created against that supplier
    • Select alternative supplier : jumps straight to creditors.  No longer able to select other franchises : functionally didn't make sense to do this so removed and simplified. Also make it clear that supplier is an alternative/overriding supplier.
  • Customer alerts
    • Bugfix : bugs in open reminders list could make it display extraneous results. Now fixed
    • customer notes and customer comments can be flagged to popup a prominent alert message whenever the customer is selected in screens like point of sale etc. e.g:
      alert

Tip: Husky / KTM Interchange setup:

  • Under spares -> Utilities -> Add / Edit Franchise. Pick the secondary franchise. i.e. if you are a KTM dealer your secondary franchise is then Husky. You want to modify Husky
  • Click on advanced tab.
  • Click on change button under 'Use the following franchise instead for matching part numbers and select KTM franchise. System will now flip from Husky to KTM for common parts
