This release includes initial, draft versions of some unit sale regulatory paperwork for NSW and QLD.

Includes database changes. You will be forced to log c9 out during upgrade

• Customers : ability to set a visual icon.  Allows to visually flag troublesome or extra nice customers. Icon is visible in most customer browse/select screens
  
• Point of sale : disable deposit reclaim if there is no deposit to reclaim
• Workshop spares report : had sale and cost back-to-front. Now fixed.
• workshop jobs encode an ‘effort’ value. Effort is displayed and tallied in weekly calender so you can get a feel for day to day workload.
• select job – display start date
• Import BRP Side by Side fiche diagrams
• Receive order : under normal circumstances when you have a mix of parts on order for stock and customer, c9 will reallocate parts to preferentially fulfill customer orders first.  Under a very rare combination of events this will not happen and parts will goto filling a stock item when there is a waiting customer. Now fixed.
• Honda Warranty export.  Although Honda can mass produce a 300km/h street motorcycle, the difference in interpreting date formats ‘1/11/2012′ and ’01/11/2012’, poses a very challenging software engineering problem; or at least Honda didn’t volunteer to fix this at the server side.   C9 now encodes dates with leading zeros on date and month.

• Inventory check
• Yamaha – support either client certificate or hardware VPN access methods
• Eurotread – allow longer user names on login.
• Fixed triumph fiche importer.  Stopped working because of a number of changes triumph made on their site
• Export Honda Warranty
• export format was incorrect. Now fixed.
• Added two new fields requested by Honda:  Gender and DOB
• Bugfix : under some rare circumstances adding cost onto a unit will erroneously record cost onto cash till report.  Depends on what terminal was doing just prior to the add cost, e.g. reprinting an invoice will trigger this bug.  Now fixed.
• Bugfix : sometimes downloading new version of c9 to terminal can fail (local network error) and leave temporary files in \c9 folder. Under some rare conditions attempts to restart c9 will not succeed until these temporary files are deleted.  Now fixed.

• New F12 check availability: now supports Eurotread and Link International
• BMW Fiche import : was importing low resolution images for certain diagrams and wasn’t getting hotspots right on those diagrams, typically photographed items.  Now fixed.
• Miner query results : display row count.
• Browse account. Could not filter on name bits : i.e. last name/first name, etc.
• View Account Transactions  : would allow you to jump to corresponding spares/workshop/unit sale but because anyone can keyin a reference number this could cause jumping to non-existant/invalid sale or a sale performed by a completely different customer. Modified and put some rudimentary checks in place.
• Print Statements : as per above. Only print invoices for which rudimentary validity and ownership tests satisfy.
• Quick Books Integration – allow user to select from either Cost of Goods Sold or Expenses chart of accounts. (Previously would only display Expenses)
• Purchase unit : Recent changes made have confused alot of users.   Made some tweaks to help with this : when adding a new unit to purchase automatically pop select unit browse window. From here user can either a) select unit, b) key in it’s vin, c) Click add unit to add a new one or d) press Escape and key in new unit details

• Suzuki online fiche import
• Bugfix : was not importing diagram part quantities. Now fixed.
• New framelisting included, which includes 2013  GW250
• F12 check supplier
• Fixed unusual bug where it was not automatically logging in sometimes (I could fix it via remote access, but change fixes it for good)
• Include support for Yamaha,  requires some heroic hacking skillz to get setup, more on this in a separate post.

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

• Website SEO tools – web side of things not yet built.  Will include a post that explains these new functions once corresponding webpage changes have been made.
• Select account by query. Some filters, like last name were not working in the query result screen. Now fixed
• F2 lookup part : now has a wildcard search option. Runs really slow, but allows you to do fine tune searching when existing description search is not up to the task.
• Workshop staff report : was incorrectly including quoted/estimate labour. Now fixed
• Receive spares : print invoice date on receive sheet
• Import price file bug fixes
• Deleted stocked item. Was not properly checking 12 month sale history and would delete parts where qtyonhand=maxqty=minqty=0 but had some recent history. Now fixed.
• New supercession checker gave up on chains longer than 20 parts.  Yamaha have heaps of parts longer than this.  Modified new supercession checker to give up after 100 parts; i.e. the limit of the prior supercession chain tracker.

Includes database changes. c9 will force you to log all terminals out during upgrade

• Fixes to selling units on finance
• When using cash customer deposit, system would not consume deposit on cash account. Now fixed
• Transaction record written against finance company was GST exempt. Now fixed.  Also, GST on account sales was incorrect and not including ORC GST component. Note that this does not represent a bug on business reports.  Only ‘GST’ on account transaction; which is non-functional, deprecated, and only used in one part of c9, and only for visual on-screen display.  (View Account Transactions)
• Fiche Diagrams : you can now print and email them in c9
• Clocking : Couple of tweaks to make failure to clock off overnight easier to deal with
• If tech is currently flagged as idle or on break do not pop the warning message and do not record any timesheet information for last task of the day they failed to clock off. Just assume that they intended to clock off for the day but clicked on the wrong button
• For overnight warning message, if tech’s current job occurs after 6 pm,  then present default clockoff time to start of the following hour.

• Suzuki Online EPC : fixes
• Slight bugfix with recently added resume functionality
• Made import more resilient to network errors. On network problem the importer will attempt to reconnect upto 4 times. Only upon 4th consecutive failure it will hard fail
• Bugfix: certain diagram images would cause c9 to crash with a memory error.
• Workshop repair authoritory – print VIN and Engine number
• Workshop job card redesigned to make it look visually better. Align boxes etc.
• Broken Promises : jobs whose promise date is today or earlier are color coded red
• New Report : Workshop Spares Sales

• Import fiche : include logic to detect if last import was aborted and allow user to resume the import.  Useful for doing full re-import when import source is unreliable (i.e. internet based import)
• Spares Point of sale : you can now sell parts to unit deals from within point of sale
• Order book : option to print order book
• Order book : option to move a part from Daily->Stock and vice versa

• Unit deals : option to receive onto floor a unit on order inside the deal itself.  Saves you having to back out and goto purchase.
• Workshop warranty: keying in money received on warranty would break GST component out incorrectly.  Now fixed. Fix will also retrospectively fix existing records
• Business activity : option to filter out workshop warranty invoices
• Unit finance sale : recording on business activity was incorrect. Now fixed.
• Unit purchase ergonomics.  Keying in reference that already exists would throw your data away and load in details of the duplicate unit.  Most often, you don’t want this to happen, instead you want it to generate a new unique ID. Modified so it behaves the latter.
• Unit sale ergonomics in a deal.  Clicking back on a on-order deal would pop unit select browse.  Now fixed
