NT Paperwork: Added Unit Sale forms / Contracts and particulars for unit sales in Northern Territory

Orderbook performance: This version includes significant CPU performance optimizations for order book find functionality. For large order books,  more than couple of thousand rows searching can take a second or two to update between keystrokes, even on reasonably modern computers. Now should be significantly faster.

Other Tweaks and fixes

• Profit summary : would only report unit costs on sale of unit. Now reports on day the unit cost is raised.
• Default Variation generation : Make 'LG' in description match for a size variation
• Email order notifications : include a shop name + details at bottom of automatically generated email
• (Experimental) : added Suzuki EPC importer using data supplied by Suz Aus.  Lots of issues still to resolve with the data itself so a long way away before it is ready for serious use.

• Tweaks and fixes
  • Margin clerk key test can misbehave and falsely report below margin issue when certain conditions are satisfied, now fixed (Conditions:  max effective % limit in place. Part in question's retail price is significantly bumped beyond normal retail, part is discounted).
  • Husky EPC import broken because of dealernet website changes (again), probably means KTM/WP is broken too.  Should be good to go
  • Paperwork: Added QLD TMR letter of authority forms (x2)
  • Added Magician availability check for HD
  • Allow access to modify unit for workshop only c9 installs

• Tweaks and Fixes
  • Web order processing emails would show  a column called 'items to ship' which would include items already invoiced which can mislead customers into thinking goods are about to be doubled up when things come off backorder. Tweaked the email msg to include a new column : goods already invoiced. Items to ship will show uninvoiced items ready to go.
  • Make BRP magician smarter. Cycle through available product lines until we make a match. Previously would only work for watercraft dealers / partnums
  • View sent email message. Allow window to be resized.
  • Save report as CSV file.  Would crash for statements which have individual invoices embedded. Now fixed.
  • Workshop print invoice.  Use  setup printer setting, "Display Print dialog infront of key reports" for workshop jobs invoiced. (previously only applied for spares invoices).

• EPC import for Aprilia now working again
• Added Magician check for PS Importers (Triumph)
• Bank Rec : for unit record adjustments triggered by messing with trust receipt etc show the unit reference in reference field on the screen
• View Unit. Colour code attachments button if unit has any attached documents/images.
• Browse Layby  : show customer name (as well as cust code)

• Tweaks and Bugfixes
  • Receive spares involving units (typically for PE suppliers like Husky and Stihl). Where units are on backorder c9 would not yet you move forward and kept asking for unit particulars even though there are none to provide. Now fixed.
  • Triumph EPC import. Not working due to Login changes. Now should be working again.
  • Tweak to workaround a misconfigured email server just encountered.  Mail server reports it is happy with TLS1.0 on SSL handshake then cracks it when java tries to connect with TLS1.0.  Tweaked things in c9 so we can force a specific protocol (in this case TLSv1.2). Tweak needs to happen low level code.  [See com.c8systems.c9.notify.SampleSSLSMTPMail]
  • Point of sale credit. Would not memorize the other line description in many circumstances (or replace it with freight description). Now fixed.
  • Print Order Receive.  Print spares freight description if any
  • Added Part image / meta data importer for Whites Powersports
  • Print/email statement for individual customer under some specific scenarios system will grab default email not account email.  (Specifically : print individual statement, with option to print individual txns listed. There are spares invoices in the list. User selects email from preview screen, email will have default email, not account email addr).

• Tweaks and bugfixes
  • Subtle issue with creating estimates. A specific sequence of add and view records involving attempts to add a duplicated standard reference can result in a estimate landing on the database with a estimate no# of 0.  After this happens estimates blows up and cannot work without manual removal of the broken estimate. Underlying issue is a bit subtle and potentially could cause bugs in other parts of c9.  Now sorted (Root cause : autoinc keys not regenerating for fresh records after a duplicate key error, not a problem as most code paths trigger PrimeRecord which resets autoinc, but for code paths that don't autoinc remains locked on).
  • New config option to print 2 copies on laybys. (One for customer and one to put with parts on layby)
  • Unit of Measure bugs & Workshop estimates
    • Unit of measure parts onto workshop estimates would not 'memorize' unit of measure. So if you sold liters to estimate and flipped it to a job, on flipping to job it becomes drums. Now fixed
    • Use quoted prices on import is broken with unit of measure. Assumes quoted price is drum price not unit price. Now fixed.
  • Shopify sync bug. If it has been more than 7 days since last sync then sync will miss records unsynced before 7 days.
    • Added further smarts to cope with very large # of unsynced orders
    • Added a manual hook into shopify sync to compel it to sync orders from a specific point, not just from what c9 thinks is the latest synced order. To permit manual resyncing of any sync gaps.

Includes database changes. You need to log all terminals out of c9 as part of update

• Tweaks and fixes
  • Honda Public Dead Stock database check.  On clicking View Supplier open up web browser to Honda MPE site with the part number prepopulated
  • Profit Summary Report. Would incorrectly report parts merged in from other invoices for purposes of consolidating pickups as belonging to date period of invoice they are merged into. Now fixed.
  • SMS notification of parts going onto backorder.  C9 contains logic where if it detects part on same invoice has been alerted before it will not send alert again.  But this behaviour breaks down when dealing with usage pattern where new parts are continually ordered and merged onto an existing invoice over a long period of time.  So new logic : c9 also looks at creation date of parts placed on order too.  It will not send SMS if it detects a backorder notice sent on a prior receival where parts either match or were added after the part currently considered on backorder.

• Tweaks and fixes
  • Deals: on deals list show the first unit being sold if any. Show that units reference, description & the base sale price.
  • Dispatching : provide a find button.  Works similar to orderbook find.  Will also search details deep in AusPOST system not just what you see on screen. e.g. will match tracking ids (partial matching too so no need to key in entire ID).
  • Added import part images for Link Int. Grabs web descriptions and images for link parts
  • Website forms. Added long labels for option lists. So can create form elements like so:
    
  • Fiche utils - browse units. Was showing units sourced from remote dealerships. Now filters these out and only shows locally installed EPC.
  • PDF Invoice import : made some low level tweaks to c9 to accommodate the supplier G-Moto.  Changes here also marginally improve a couple of other supplier imports: for Dunbier and Lusty. Previous PDF import would mess up spaces in descriptions a bit. New version does a better job of figuring out where spaces are. e.g. Old version of Lusty on invoice would import description as below.  Changes should not impact any other supplier.
    • Old: TLD18ALPINESTARSBOOTSTECH7REDFLUO/WHITE/BLUE SIZE 9 TECH 7 RED FLUO / WHITE / BLUE
    • New: TLD 18 ALPINESTARS BOOTS TECH 7 RED FLUO /WHITE / BLUE SIZE 9 TECH 7 RED FLUO / WHITE / BLUE
  • % Surcharging : allow configuration of a minimum spend $ before surcharge kicks in.
  • This version of c9 bundles to a later version of TeamViewer QuickSupport : to keep things ahead of TeamViewer's deprecation schedule
  • Profit Summary report : option to filter parts results by OEM or Aftermarket parts

Regression bugfix with prior version 4.801. On unit sale, printed invoice would include wording 'this is a deal in progress only'.  Reprints are okay, only print from sale does this incorrect behaviour. Now fixed in this version.

Supplier returns integrated into the order book

This version Includes a significant reworking of supplier returns handling.  Supplier returns flagged as bill later are now managed in the orderbook itself.  You 'receive' a return and indicate which parts are refunded and which are not. The new orderbook also allows mixing of parts, so a receival invoice can also include returns on the same receival.

• Tweaks and tidies
  • Deals. Show invoice date vs deal date on finalized deals tab.
  • Part Buy Sell. Recently added button to print SS list would resize oddly on screens where window was not default size. Now fixed.
  • Point of Sale Complete : show total in bold red if it is a -ve value
  • Some subtle refinements and reorganising on how spares point of sale margin is computed and used. Specifics
    • On a refund, compute the margin is the difference between original sale price and refund price. So any actions that mess with this will show up as a margin issue. e.g. clearing invoice discount on refund means refund is greater than the original sale. Or manually messing with pricing data.
    • Refresh point of sale cost total screen After going past F10 complete as figures here can changed as a result of things done on the complete screen (e.g. changing discount rate) so when looking at Staff clerk key screen and it nags that there is a margin issue, on the screen behind it you can see the figures that triggered this
    • View price details on point of sale. Show computed margin value (as a unit value) on the list. Note that computed margin is margin + at cost markup (defaults to 17%) which may differ from min margin clerk key alert setting.
    • Min margin clerk key guard : only apply to sold parts, not refunded parts.
  • Spares on workshop. Now tag as 'WS:1234' instead of 'Workshop:1234'.  Space limitation for a c9 dealer recently converted to c9 whose prior DMS numbered job nos where 7 digit.
  • Profit summary report.  Grand total profit % change broken. Was showing % change from prior subtotal.
  • C9 Fitment will now show hardpart / aftermarket fitment for a given part #.  (Previously would only show OEM parts). Only works for locally installed fitment info.
  • Fox Racing
    • Added new parts magician slot for Fox Racing
    • Allow F12 magician work with Fox Racing
    • Allow 'cross pollination' between Monza and Fox Magician queries, just like KTM/Husky/WP, for slackers who haven't moved Fox parts into a new franchise yet.
  • Order book : button + hotkey to drop highlighted part number into clipboard
  • Website variations management. Added some helpers to make it easier to manage web content (images and text) on variations.
    • A visual indicator which parts do and do not have web content
    • Ability to access web content management from this screen
    • A button to bulk copy web content from highlighted part to all parts that currently do not have web content
  • Unit sale. A failed sale due to something like journal error (e.g. a deal with a deposit and operator tries to finalize it as a quote), operator immediately retries and it under some circumstances trigger a 'fetch error' and results in a crap txn being written into the DB.  Now added some guards to protect against this sort of thing.
  • Unit deal print : option on print to print as a pro forma invoice
  • Access add transaction from trial balance screen : to provide a place where you can add txns and eyeball contact balances in same place.
  • New GL Expense code : Staff training
  • Point of sale : edit discount. compute of discount from final $ plus parts on order hopelessly broken and has been for some time. Now fixed.
  • Magician Query : now queries Honda's public DeadStock database.
