Release 4.392 November 4, 2013 barney

Tweak to part number fuzzy matching logic to allow you to configure a rule that says if part number does not match, try dropping first <n> characters off the scanned part number and try again.

This is useful for dealers migrating away from systems which encode supplier in first three digits. i.e. like Biscount.  With this c9 can scan supplier barcodes and biscount printed barcodes either of which may be physically attached to stock during transition period.

Release 4.391 November 2, 2013 barney

Includes fixes to Ducati fiche import introduced in prior version.  Previously c9 would only import diagrams in the 'frame' group missing about 3/4ths of the diagrams.

Mornington Motorcycles are first dealer in Australia to have web shopping for Ducati OEM diagrams on their website.

Release 4.390 October 29, 2013 barney
  • Import fiche diagrams for Ducati
  • Tweaked c9 fiche diagram import
  • Print preview : option to print+email in one go
  • Reprint spares invoice : show and filter by order number. i.e. find invoices where phone number has been keyed into the order number instead of a customer record being created
  • Browse/View jobs : show cancelled jobs
  • Receive order : a 3rd option "still on order" to compliment existing two options "on backorder" and "cannot be supplied".  Behaves exactly same as "still on backorder", just does not throw the backorder flag.  Provides better/fine grained control of status of an item, whether or not it is on backorder or still expected to be supplied from a nearby warehouse.
  • Added proscribed Contract of Sale for WA
Release 4.389 October 24, 2013 barney
  • Added ability to select customer by a unit. i.e. such as rego number or vin or filter down on unit type
  • Lookup parts in various lists. Previously results were sensitive to dashes and spaces and you had to key in part without them. Now fixed.  (select part,  edit price file, delete part, add parts to barcode print, + 20 or so other windows in c9 dealing with part numbers).
  • Unit sale invoice at high detail : print line items with GST (so is consistent with spares and workshop)
  • Spares import quote : ask user whether they want to use quoted prices or current prices
Release 4.388 October 23, 2013 barney
  • Open/Save files. At various points were c9 needs to open/save files c9 now memorizes where you last opened/saved a file for a given type of operation and defaults to that next time you perform that operation. i.e. if you imported a OPEA price file for Yamaha from c:\yamaha\ it will memorize that for next time you import a yamaha price file. It will track the path used to export a miner report differently, or the location where Honda Fiche database files are stored for example. There are about 20 different types of path c9 will now separately track.  Tracking is per terminal only, so different terminals may store price files in different paths for example.
  • Dead stock export
    • Overhauled export so you can better tune what parts to export. i.e. All, or only parts where min/max=0 or parts which have not moved for a while
    • Allow export of one franchise or all franchises
    • Export stock file for part mart
  • Modify workshop job : when user changes any of the 3 job type categories intelligently regenerated the job description and notes
  • Spares Point of Sale : when switching to another section in c9 using new UI Design, memorize parts in point of sale and restore part list when point of sale option is selected again
Release 4.387 October 18, 2013 barney

Recent screen resizing code broke a couple of critical windows in c9.  Notably database manager and manual backup windows. Now fixed.

Release 4.386 October 18, 2013 barney
  • Point of sale print options
    • Configure printing reserve/laybys to print to docket. Previously would always default to A4
    • Configure 2 copies to only print two copies if printing to docket printer
  • Workshop line item discounts : print on estimates.  Also tweak printing of discount total line to show discount percentage if relevant. Also increase paper real-estate estimate prints on so it uses same page margins as invoice
  • Tweaks to a few windows with new window resizing code
  • Point of sale : bug with last version : highlight bar on items would remain even though keyboard focus was elsewhere. Result was confusing behaviour
Release 4.385 October 17, 2013 barney

Includes the beginnings of long standing request to allow windows to be resized to take advantage of available screen real-estate.  Most windows with lists in them (i.e. select franchise) can now be resized.  Existing resized windows such as point of sale have been tweaked improved.  Further improvements will happen incrementally over time in the course of normal development, including being able to resize some screen which currently do not resize (i.e. deals) and tweaking some windows which may resize in incorrect ways.

A new version of remote client has been created as part of this release to take advantage of these changes.

Release 4.384 October 10, 2013 barney

More suzuki EPC tweaks.  Previous versions included smarts to try and only import the diagrams relevent to the year+region of the item in question. i.e. if presented with following

CRANKSHAFT (GS500L2 E24)
CRANKSHAFT (GS500K4 E24)
CRANKSHAFT (GS500K4 E03)

System would only import the first one when trying to import 2012 GS500

The solution broke down though in the following case:

TRANSMISSION(1)
TRANSMISSION(2)

It was trying to match 1 and 2 to some specific unit year/region/model particular.  Tweaked logic so that if nothing fits then bring them all in just in case. This will still result in system mostly filtering irrelevant diagrams though it will now moreso err on the side of importing too much rather than not enough.

Release 4.383 October 9, 2013 barney

Includes database changes. You'll be forced to log all terminals out during upgrade

  • Import Suzuki EPC
    • You can now fine tune list of bikes imported to fix errors and omissions prevalent in Suzuki's framelisting file
    • System allows you to configure certain regions that are always preferentially imported. i.e. Import E24/P24 if available and ignore all else for a given model+year combo even if there are rules for them
  • View remote EPCs - improved logic to detect when a remote set of units has changed and c9 needs to refresh it's local cache
  • Tweaks
    • Warn user if odo reading is blank on complete job
    • Edit Franchise : added filter options for showing parts online. Options are: A) show everything B) only show items currently in stock. C) do not put this franchise on the web
    • Modify workshop : ask user if they want to append notes to job if they add/change job type on the job
    • View workshop: pending weborder notification now appears here too
    • Unit stock list : option to filter based on new/used flag
