• Clock on/clock off screen would not draw correctly when using c9 via remote access client. Now fixed
• Point of sale : alternate order source behaviour
  • Alternate order would default order source for parts added to invoice to be same as last part if part source was ever changed during the process of constructing the invoice. Some tweaks to this logic in this version to hopefully better track operator intention:
    • Reset behaviour if all parts deleted off screen
    • Only enable this behaviour if Edit Order  screen actually alters the selected order source. Merely clicking OK does not lock behaviour
    • Parts added take on last part order source for same franchise. i.e. if you flip a MCS part to be ordered from another dealer, a further added Suzuki part will not inherit behaviour from this MCS part, instead that part will inherit behaviour of last suzuki part (if any).
• Payroll tweaks
  • PAYG calculation was not withholding PAYG on tool allowance. Now fixed
  • Employer Super contributions, show % as a rate figure on payslip
  • Leave accrual,  always round up instead of rounding to nearest.
  • Super contribution. Do not calculate super on tool allowance.
  • Print pay slips, print slips in order of staff code
  • Pay run screen: add scroll bars
  • Tweaked bracket creep amortisation logic.  Payroll system contains a mechanism where based on predicted income it may pay additional HELP and MLS tax to try and offset significant bracket creep impacts that can occur with these tax systems. The first step on HELP is 4% so stepping into this bracket say because of a pay rise awarded late in the financial year can cause employee to be out of pocket by a significant amount, upto $2200, with their tax return. C9 tries to predict and smooth out this sort of damage across remaining pay runs with additional withholding.  The system needs to be able to make a prediction on past unknown income for starting employees or employees that quit and return within the same period by assuming past pay that is known about is representative of past unknown pay.  Prior algorithms for doing this were faulty (e.g. changing the pay cycle rate from weekly to monthly would break the prior algorithm).  Includes a new improved algorithm for predicting this that copes with such concerns. Extrapolates based on first pay and current paycycle type, and also extrapolates based on missing pay cycle days.
  • Bracket Creep amortisation for MLS and HELP. Include option on staff to disable this feature. In staff payroll settings are new radio buttons "Auto (no additional)" which auto computes MLS & HELP but does not apply any additional amortization to try smooth out bracket creep impacts
• Other tweaks
  • Browse Invoiced units : reprint invoice button was hidden under another button. Now fixed
  • print estimate. Print line items in same order as they appear/ are managed on estimate (previously would roughly print in order they were originally added to the estimate, printing labour items first without any regard for any subsequent reordering on estimate edit screen)
  • VicRoads Forms : added form for online rego transfer
  • Image gallery text filtering not working. Now fixed
  • SMTP routed email : removed client side setting of message ID. Testing a theory maybe a small minority of SMTP servers are making things difficult by recognising the Msg ID as being generated by javamail.

• Kawasaki parts inquiry & Fiche Import: now working again.  Kawasaki have rolled in some tech on their website that makes these things unreliable so uncertain about our capacity to keep this thing working.
• More tweaks to c9 monthly invoice generation.
• Email sending tweaks.
  • Email sending code rewritten to more elegantly/reliably cope with slow SMTP servers. Some possibly bad software race conditions if SMTP spooling took longer than 3 seconds
  • bail on email sending if spooling takes longer than 60 seconds. Previously system would wait indefinitely on a non responsive mail server, causing messenger to lock up.
  • Added support for SSL/TLS to compliment existing STARTTLS (previously called TLS in c9).
• Added ability to manually create general ledger postings
• View finished job bugfix.  Displayed discount $ would keep increasing every time you relook at a job. Would reset back to sane figures after opening a new c9. Now fixed.
• Export order electronically.  If the order export fails, do not move order into 'sent' status.  Previously would do this. Applicable for Honda/Whites & other C9 Dealer export targets.
• Workshop staff report : reruns of the report show report total keeps increasing up and up under some circumstances.  Was not resetting total count on reruns. Now fixed.
• Parts Order - Customer Order Pickup
  • Get rid of 'auto invoice at customer discount' setting.  Redundant and has been for years as c9 memorizes discount setup on a per invoice basis when the order was originally setup
  • If original ordcr was an invoiced order but customer has since been changed to cash customer, force the subsequent pickup to be a receipt sales.
• Payroll
  • Integrated payrun finalisation into activity and the GL

Regression bug in previous version.  Workshop main screen, location and general filtering broken.  Would permanently pop an error screen reporting this.  Now fixed.

• Workshop pickup journal errors.  Under some circumstances a pickup would fail with a journal error relating to sub contract work.  Fixed pickup so it is now more robust.
• Stock take sheets.  Provide a visual display of qty on reserve to help dealers who do not pull parts out of stock and placing them on reserve/layby. e.g. report may show 3 (+5),   which means 3 in stock for any walk in customer, 5 on rerserve, total stock on hand of avail+reserve should be 8.
• Main workshop screen : show job total ( for completed jobs only)
• Move parts: delete button now just deletes part off list of parts to move. Previously would permanently delete part off stock file
• Unit deals
  • a unit on a sale deal would not retain any changes to trust receipt made to the floor stock item.  Now fixed.
  • When receive a unit to order for sale on a deal, if that unit had trust receipt details, details would be lost once unit once deal was finalised. (similar to issue above). Now fixed too
• C9 lease tweaks
  • Added a facility to make it easier to install new systems.
  • Remove monthly passwords from invoices c9 sends out. Monthly passwords are no longer in use. Old versions of c9 no longer supported.

• Point of sale complete: show a tally of all freight invoiced so far on parent/related invoices. (doesn't yet factor in merged invoices, TODO).
• KTM EPC fiche import : more tweaks to deal with broken diagrams and images
• Import Suzuki Snap-ON EPC  part lists : cope with extraneous '-000' on end of part numbers better
• Fix Vic Roads bike details import
• This version of c9 removes need to enter in monthly passwords.  Lease management in c9 is now entirely automatic.  Invoices we issue from June onwards will no longer have old monthly passwords printed on them so all c9 dealers will need to update to this version of c9 from June onwards.

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

• Miner: allow query on job notes.
• More payroll module work.  New reports etc.
• Bugfix:  under some rare conditions the dispatch option is selectable even though it is disabled in setup. (Newly opened c9 terminal, point of Sale customer pickup as first point of sale operation would trigger this).
• KTM Fiche import
  • Fixed issue with bad diagram on factory website breaking import. C9 now skips over these diagrams instead of fast failing. Specifically diagrams with invalid images on them. [ e.g. at time of writing, 1290 Super Adventure T 2017 (EU) ]
  • Redesigned the look of the KTM/Husky import screen to be much easier to use. Specifically:
    • Memorise models added/removed so no need to readd every time
    • Allowing filtering of model list. i.e. only show EXC models
    • Allow window to be resized.
    • Color code models that have been explicitly added/removed

Overhauled PayPal integration into c9 so PayPal payments captures is more interactive, providing details on operations so far, what c9 plans to do next etc.

Other changes:

• Workshop Pickup + PC-EFTPOS / Tyro integration. Provide configuration option to delay EFT processing until well after sale is completed in c9.
• minor Tweaks and bug fixes with ongoing freight integration project. Ready for Beta testing.
• Bugfix : receive spares order while manually superceding one of the parts on that order in a different c9 terminal at same time doesn't generate invoices correctly/ receive parts into workshop correctly etc. Now fixed.
• Monza parts images import : working again

Includes database changes. Need to log all terminals out during upgrade

• Bug Fixes
  • Receive goods only : was incorrectly creating a bill to be paid.  Now fixed
  • Fixed bug in old total deposits report.  Was not displaying correct customer.
  • Edit deal. Deleting a note would not remove the note. Now fixed
• Tweaks
  • Workshop profit report. Show # of distinct service jobs in each report line
  • payment assignment.  Assign in order of txn date. Previously was assigning based on 'audit code' which usually is same order of txn date, but not always. (i.e. backdating ops)
• Onoing work with spare parts despatching workflow/processes
• Magician/EPC fixes
  • Monza working again
  • Kawasaki EPC working again
  • Triumph EPC working again

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

• Miner customer query : include ability to filter based on how far away customer is from the shop. i.e. get all customers within 12km of the shop.  Works based on postcodes so result is actually an approximation based on 'as-the-crow-flies' distance from customer postcode to dealership postcode.
• Monza Part Enquiry:  system was not showing login failed if login creds were incorrect. Now fixed.
• Freight integration : some initial work on integration into a major freight logistics provider. More details once project is finished.
• Workshop Invoices : remove start date off invoice, it has no business being there
• Spares profit reporting
  • Bugfix with unit of measure items here.  Was incorrectly downsizing $ params by unit of measure magnitude minimising $ figures for these items
  • workshop/unit filtering is for historical reasons and should no longer be used. Disabled by default, organised to make it less obvious and changed text to clarify this
  • Credit note only option: filter out returns from workshop/units : since workshop/unit is just departmental movement.
• Low level systems - fixed some long standing errors generated deep in the guts of c9.  These errors do not actually damage c9, just make out diagnostic logs messy to read. But I've been wondering if these behaviours are indirectly contributing to graphics video card corruption issues reported and partially fixed a few months ago. So fixing cause of these errors on off chance they are indeed impactful.

Bugfix with latest version of c9.  Remote EPC diagrams broken and generate error messages under common but not all circumstances. Fixed with this version.
