Bugfix with browser dealer units.  Show open floorplans was not working and was showing all units, not just open floorplans.

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

Version 4.529 had a defect in it that affected online backup  synchronization.  Not a serious problem, backups are fine, but system would report backups to be in error.

Caused by recent additions to COGs.  periodic inventory journal records would write time with millisecond precision, i.e. 09:48:13.201,  but online backup can only synchronize with second precision and would backup such records as 09:48:13.  The backup verification process is sensitive enough to detect the variation and reports a backup sync error.  Fixed by rounding these journals to the nearest second. Update will rewrite existing journals rounding to nearest second.

Manual backups also are unable to record time with millisecond precision. So manual backups created will not be a perfect facsimile of the database.

• General Ledger
  • Included inventory and cost of goods sold (COGs) ledger recording for spare part and unit inventory.
  • Bugfix with original GL insertion of customer deposit records. Was incorrectly initialised as a 'DR' but should be 'CR'
  • Periodic GL verification for key balance codes whose value is generated elsewhere within c9. i.e. inventory like AR and newly added COGs tracking and liabilities such as vouchers and various deposit holdings
• Credit card surcharging
  • Option to round credit card surcharges differently from other items. i.e. to implement no rounding
  • Surcharges on misc items such as deposit taking now supported, generates a separate tax invoice for the surcharge component
  • Surcharge on unit sale now implemented
  • Surcharge on debtor payment now implemented
• Spares
  • Removed Forget as an option in Forget/Order/Sell point of sale screen option for ergonomic reasons. (People accidently clicking on forget while processing an import such as creating a workshop parts order list from an estimate).  Forget functionality is still possible by clicking on Esc key
  • Spares Profit report : was not filtering web orders properly, now fixed.  Also report should now run a little bit quicker.
  • Fix colour coding bug with goods supplied before received within the orderbook. Was colour coding some of the columns before the already handled item red when it should not of been
  • Freeform Stocktake : ability to set max/min and location
  • Import price file : set economical order qty appropriately when inheriting packqty from master file
  • Add stocked item : use pack qty from master file
• Other
  • Tender change, press enter when value is zero system sets tender to amount to tender. So 3 quick enter keys will push past this screen without having to type an amount
  • Change of business name. Internal technology changes to make process of changing name simpler/faster.  Also preserves encryption details such as passwords, credit card details. Previously these details would be lost with a change of business name. Business name change still needs to be coordinated by c9.

Point of sale : show part description after scanning a part and setting qty, so it is obvious early on exactly what has been scanned

Bugfixes:

• Regression bug: Recent changes damaged ability to set notification settings during spares point of sale. SMS notification would be forced on default configuration
• Bugfix with parts on order for invoice with default setting, was not respecting the 'notify any/notify all' default/global configuration setting and was assuming 'notify any'

Updated Suzuki framelisting database supplied by suzuki that xrefs model+year to region used for capturing fiche diagrams to include later offerings (e.g. AN650) and regions that map to 2012+ model bikes as per what Suz Australia publish. Also fixed a couple of bugs with how the list was being interpreted. i.e. was missing out on some models like GT250, GSX-R1000Z, VL1500(B)  and a handful of others (mostly ATVs) due to incorrect decoding of the model designator.

• Customers
  • New country code feature. Removed country 'British Soverign Base Areas' since it does'nt have a ISO 3 letter code in the list we have.
  • Select account customer, allow super filter of account list
• Units
  • Bugfix with new/used filter only working on the 'units on the floor' tab in browse dealer units
  • Modify unit, include option to flag job to track unit against dealership prior to unit being sold to customer. Useful for doing last minute fittings and record of jobs where unit was invoiced before workshop PD is initialized.
  • Some screen redesign tweaks to put filter apply button next to the filter
• Spares
  • Add to existing order would sometimes display a weird message with wording " and ih.invprefix<>'L'",  fixed.

Includes database changes, you will be forced to log all terminals out during upgrade

• Customers
  • Track country on customers. Country is tracked internally using strict 3 letter country codes, so only actual countries can be added. You can type in either country code or country. i.e. "NZL" or "New Zealand" both resolve to New Zealand.
• Web orders
  • Track country and promo code in c9. (Note not yet implemented on actual website yet. This is just the c9 side of things, web changes will be done shortly)
• Spares
  • Store freight tracking number on invoices
  • Track freight to be paid later. On last pickup invoice, freight to pay will automatically populate freight to invoice field
  • Add to existing order, remove restriction on placing reserve parts on a cash/invoice order
  • When you back out of point of sale complete and back in again, system now memorises your intent with respect to deposits instead of re-defaulting it. i.e. keeps it zero, or at order cost or at a set deposit

• Spares
  • Bugfix with importing Suzuki diagrams, was failing on GW250 2013 trying to import something which lacked an image
  • Bugfix with importing list of parts where the list contains parts to be superceded. After supercession and fixed retail or line discounting information would be lost. e.g. in importing a workshop estimate where parts on estimate have been superceded.  System now retains retail and line discount after supercession is resolved.
  • Import workshop estimate into point of sale, figure discount same as if creating a new job from estimate
  • New franchise option to permit a franchise to support both daily and stock, but default to stock for customer/point of sale order building
• Workshop
  • Tweak wording on add labour to remove confusion on cost vs retail
  • Bugfix with selecting standard estimate, would return wrong estimate
