  • Fixes and Tweaks
    • Clock on a job.  When showing next scheduled job, c9 would display the last unit you were eyeballing, not the actual unit associated with that scheduled job. Now fixed
    • Got Cykel Magician working again. Bigger and better : returns actual QoH instead of low/med/high.  Link now returns QoH too
    • Spares Refund. Print -ve freight on invoice. (i.e. freight charge on a refund as opposed to refunded freight)
  • Spare Parts Labels
    • Rejigged config to make it more intuitive and more accessible from label config screen especially when fiddling with layouts etc in edit label type.
    • Allow user to key in a shop name specific for spares labels.

Bug fix : spares point of sale complete. Tweaking a field like freight did not display recomputed total on screen. Now fixed. (Total was correct on next screen just didn't display correctly on complete screen).  Bug caused by recent changes to this screen to better handle deposit and deposit on account utilisation while tweaking things like freight. Also make sure works with AusPOST integrated freight check.

Profit summary report. Was not showing general OP-EX expenses like rent etc. Issue caused by changes made months ago to better accommodate cash basis GST reporting. Now fixed.

Release 4.761 January 22, 2019 barney

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

  • Bugs and tweaks
    • E-Reference importing issue. Slow response sometimes. Sometimes upto 20 seconds.
      • Repair #1 (already implemented) : optimized server database to make queries alot faster: generally 0.05 to 0.1 seconds now. (or   x 400 times faster )
      • Repair #2: logic bug in c9 where if you keep clicking OK button it will just queue up multiple E-Ref queries causing c9 to essentially lockup.
    • Order Export : Tweak OPEA non-standard format to further accommodate a couple of P/E suppliers who have incorrectly implemented the OPEA spec.
    • Beta EPC crawler used by Lowry : tweaked to cope with units that do not have an image.
    • Honda Magician Check : show if part is discontinued. e.g.:
    • Return parts to stock from workshop deal would not restock items for items that were especially ordered and received onto deal. Now fixed
    • Workshop pickup : if customer has deposit, prompt operator to use this deposit instead of automatically assuming it is good to be used. (Make workshop pickup consistent with spares)
    • Add partial (non payout) Unit floorplan cost via 'add floorplan cost screen' with backdated entry. Would add curtailment correctly but corresponding GL posting was incorrectly dated to today which could mess up bank rec efforts.  Only happens on this workflow.  Payout option, or add floorplan via view floorplan screen worked fine.
    • Workshop completed + pickup. Pop alert notes for both job customer and insurer (if insurer is set)
    • Point of sale use account deposit : add some smarts to track whether or not operator intends to use all available deposit. On tweakage of anythings that manipulates the final price, e.g. tweaking lines, adding freight or adding discount, recompute deposit
    • Email templates in setup : increase amount of text that can be in a template
    • Tweaks to duplicate unit detection yo try and help minimize duplicate units being added into c9.  Do more exhaustive checks based on full vin/framenumber. Cope with dealers that prefer to key full vin into reference number field.
    • Unit notes: includes an option to flag unit notes as being important for service. e.g. if the ECU contains a custom mapping.
    • Customer emails from print preview
      • Be a bit smarter about which 'from' email address email is sent from.  Previously  only used global email or local terminal addr. Now will preferentially use spares email for sending of a spares invoice, service for a workshop invoice/estimate etc.
      • In preview email screen allow the end user to select sender from a dropdown list populated from various email addr configured in c9
  • Meatier changes
    • Husky PE electronic warranty registration. Initial code written. Pending testing/certification from Husky before becomes primetime

Release 4.759 November 29, 2018 barney

Tweaks and fixes

  • Bug fixes
    • Generic expense report : broken due to recent changes to better support cash based GST Reporting. Now working again
    • Cancel pickup.  Would incorrectly delete unrelated payment txns if those txns were tagged with same workshop job number + customer.  Now fixed
    • Detailed scheduler : close button did nothing. Now fixed.
  • Tweaks
    • View Transactions & Bi Activity.  disallow delete operations which are destructive. e.g. deleting bills connected to curtailments. You need to goto unit section of c9 to perform such deletes. Specific delete types where this is enforced
      • Deleting curtailments, interest payments and renewal fees
      • Deleting unit expenses and costs
      • Deleting unit sales / purchases and tradeins
    • View transactions : new button 'Journals' shows GL Journal post against selected txn.  Useful for deep diving to figure out what txn links to if reference description is not enough. e.g. useful for figuring out what unit a curtailment/bill links to
Release 4.757 & 4.758 November 20, 2018 barney

Got NSW RTA Rego lookup working again. Please be aware that the RTA website for NSW doesn't provide the entire VIN. You will still need to correct the VIN when using this feature.

Import EPC diagrams. May fail on fiche diagrams where image scaled down to less than 8x8 , i.e. a blank image. Caused by png encoding of small images. Possibly triggered by some epc diagrams connected to Yamaha Marine.

Release 4.756 November 20, 2018 barney

Added ability to export orders in XLSX format (via generic export option). Hopefully this will get Mojo over the line for electronic exporting without having to wrangle into XLSX in excel or similar.

Release 4.755 November 17, 2018 barney

Bugfix to deal with a complex subtle interaction on unit floorplan.  IF following is done (generally there is no logical business reason for doing this because it doesn't model any meaningful business workflow that actually occurs, but c9 doesn't prevent it).

  1. unit on system under floorplan with a TR but no upfront invoice
  2. Curtailment is added to pay out floorplan with a supplier selected
  3. Unit is then modified to record an upfront invoice, flipping floorplan from tax invoice at payout to tax invoice at initial floorplan entry
  4. Curtailment on step 2 is then modified (e.g. to change the reference #)
  5. Curtailment is modified yet again

Step 4 above would damage the unit record in c9 such that subsequent modifications to the curtailment would result in duplicate bills being added to the creditor. Core problem was steps 1 to 3 would result in all sorts of complex adjustments made to the general ledger to account for the variations in floorplan structure being made. Step 4 itself would effectively rollback step 2 which impacts the journal posted on step 3 which needs to be adjusted for. So journal posted in step 4 would effectively merge postings of step 2 and 3 into a new journal posting. The result is a single journal that merges curtailments + unit purchase tweaks. Subsequent modifies (step 5) would not allow the curtailment effect to be deleted since it involves a posting that touches the original purchase of the unit as well as a result of the merged journal posted in step 4, resulting in duplicated bill records on the creditor.  Solution is to make sure step 4 does two postings, one for the curtailment and another to redo floorplan purchase posting of step 2+3 to keep operations separated and allow the curtailment to be subsequently deleted.

Release 4.754 November 9, 2018 barney

Bug fixes

  • Some screens and reports that show historical debtor/creditor balances would show wrong total results when dealing with accounts that include newly added '3rd party' txn types. e.g. on statements. Now fixed

Tweaks

  • Select invoice to pay. Can now select both invoices and 3rd party collections
  • Workshop booking notify SMS. Can now supports upto 240 chars in the template. (Actual SMS may be longer when template expands)
  • Spares invoice miner query : allow query on freight tracking field
  • Stock take sheets. Make location case insensitive
Release 4.753 October 23, 2018 barney
  • Bug fixes and tweaks
    • Finance payout : broken with recent changes to c9 that break down finance costs. Amount under finance would no longer factor in tradein offset, or encumbrances (for underwater tradeins) or on road costs. Now working again.
    • KTM parts image import. Would invisibly fail on re-login error. Now will fail with an error and should allow you to rerun skipping already imported results.
