• Improved intelligence of testing for duplicated customers during add customer. Checking phone numbers, emails and names instead of just checking code. To help prevent adding duplicated customers.  Consolidated behaviour for merging in web order customers with this new logic.
• Workshop jobs : color code chart/legend
• Workshop checklists : permit selection and importing of multiple/all items simultaneously

• Backorder availability : a few visual improvements to indicate status of site update. Also include ability to print the resulting data
• Dead stock report : option to not consider parts not to be reordered (minqty=0, maxqty=0) as dead stock

• New order function : allows you to do magician query on multiple parts simultaneously : for all parts on backorder across entire system (via order book) or for a given order (view view order). Used to check availability for backordered items. Especially useful for KTM/Husqvarna dealers to quickly discover if a part that has gone onto backorder can actually be supplied from within Australia from the alternative bin. Useful for stuff which customer needs in a hurry and is potentially carried by another dealer
• Bugfix with honda inventory test. If you looked up a dodgy part, future inventory tests on that terminal might fail. Should now be more reliable
• Initial Paypal integration into c9 now complete. Capture web payments via paypal and finalise paypal payment processing from within c9.

Bugfix in version 4.460, work I did to make tabs optionally hidden for select job stuffs up tabs in places where tabs cover multiple lines, such as the main setup screen. Some tabs a missing when the cover multiple lines. Now fixed.

Unit line items : permit non dutyable line items to be based on formula. So things like stamp duty costs can be setup as either on road costs or as non duty invoice items. Whichever suits.

• Import Generic price file. Support importing CSV files which are semi-colon delimited : i.e. Husky Power Equipment
• New units report : reports on tax invoice line items what are not spare parts or inherited from pre-delivery jobs
• Main workshop screen : include option to hide tabs in order to better utilise screen real-estate and not have tabs clogged up with search options never used.  Hiding is memorised on a per terminal basis

Another bugfix : recent changes to enforce minqty to be >= ecordqty are actually incorrect as previously the system would round up minqty re-orders instead of rounding down : meaning minqty<ecordqty is functionally meaningful and system needs to allow users to key in such things.

In english:  If ecordqty= 10,  and you key in minqty of 2, the moment your stock goes down below 2 c9 will re-order 10 more.  So having parts where minqty=2 and ecordqty=10 does something and makes sense.

Bugfixes

• GST Report, would misreport year model. Now fixed
• Export OPEA order: was not memorising export options for 'Alt' export method properly.

• Unit sale bugfixes
  • Could not delete purchased unit off a deal, now fixed
  • deal to sale with deposit : disallow account sale for now (I will revisit this later to convert deposit into payment)
• Workshop Timesheet report : size fonts for smaller blocks and if start=finish then do not print expanded line to fit as many techs onto the page as possible
• Miner : bug fixes with printing address labels via miner : did not work in some circumstances. Also include option to print one or multiple labels per customer. Defaults to one.

Includes database changes. You will need to log all terminals out after upgrading

• View orders. Relocated view supplier button so it does not cover over search string
• Select any part . Make Add part button hotkeyable (Alt+a and InsertKey)
• Bugfix with view/edit franchise. Could not access archived franchises
• Bugfixes/improvements to receive order to better cope with recently added flexibility of receiving with accessory suppliers where accessory suppliers can be alternative suppliers for parts tracked under a franchise
  • Electronic import can now cope with importing on accessory supplier where parts may not be accessory parts
  • Receive backorder on accessory would not work for parts on backorder that were franchise parts.
  • Display franchise: would display a franchise of one of the parts on the receive list as opposed to the actual supplier.
• Workshop timesheet : allow user to indicate reporting period. Also compress report output a bit to fit more into a single page.
• Workshop estimate : collect and print order number and odo
• Customer reminders : include ability to limit reminders to specific logged in users. By creating a 'unitsales' user for example, you can set things up so only these users receive reminders tagged for unitsales
• Messenger : include ability to disable auto-start of messenger on a terminal, to cope with dodgy terminals auto-starting messenger
• Include new feature : monitor/notifications.  you can configure c9 to now nag you about various things, parts not yet ordered, open spares quotes, parts on order for more than a week, parts on back order for more than a couple of months, etc etc. I will write up a separate post on this shortly.

Bugfix with version 4.453 : complete job window had the new 'set ok' checklist toggle button on all tabs, not just checklist tab, so it covered over the total field in costs/tallys tab.

Now fixed, also tidied up tab order a bit in checklist tabs on key windows. (modify/complete/pickup).
