• Create new job : default to booked in or start immediately (in progress).  Option to toggle this is now available in setup.
• Add alternative part. Make user interface alot more intuitive by reusing existing 'Find any part' screen.
• Unit Rebate reports : show rebate both Ex and Inc GSTs
• Catalogs
• Added support for Triumph
• Modified Paul Feeney so it permits directly login to softway website. (MV Agusta and Husqvarna)
• Minor fix with web based catalogs. Was downloading catalogs 3 times. Web downloads should now be marginally quicker
• Catalog download: provide user visual feedback as to what download is doing. Useful especially for some web based downloads that have a long pause at the start of the process while priming the download by getting unit list and catalog list of first few units to process.
• Miner : after F4 process query. Provide ability to delete items in the list; so user can pare back a bulk email/sms list for example before doing actual send.
• Bug Fixes
• Sell parts on invoice; system  was not passing line item discounts onto account. So account statement differed from invoices.  Statement was not subtracting discounts. Now fixed (on future raised invoices only)
• Miner: recent changes to workshop meant that previously saved workshop line item reports that refer to line item totals and prices would not work. Now fixed.

• Profit Summary report. Improved and expanded.
• More detailed breakdown.  Now separates  Sales and COGS on the report.
• Workshop : reported labour is invoiced labour.  Previously was booked labour. Also previously was incorrectly including labour on estimates.
• Workshop : separate out profit on spare parts here
• Other profit reports
• Spares profit report; only report on credit note adjustments  which match other invoice types. i.e. if workshop+credit notes are selected, then credit notes reported are only credit notes on workshop jobs (and parentless credit notes).
• Units profit report: was not handling write backs correctly. Write back should subtract on sale profit an add to subsequent tradein sale. It was doing the former but not the latter
• Point of sale freeform: increase description size from 20 characters to 60
• Image manipulation
• Bug with resizing image window, clicking on size and apply in quick succession damages image size.
• Set business header logo or invoices. Use image resizing system to make managing/cropping dealer logo/header easier

This version requires database changes and will force you to log all terminals out during upgrade

• Overhaul workshop discounting, tax and profit tracking
• Workshop spares: track cost price for profit reporting. Defaults to current price for existing items on upgrade. (i.e. no profit on workshop items).
• Discounting Spares : differentiate between group discounts and line item discounts.  Parts discounted when sold to workshop job are treated as line item discounts.  Parts not yet discounted will be discounted by discount % set on the workshop job; i.e. group discount. This not only provides line item discounting in workshop, it solves a problem in prior version where you could accidently double discount a part.
• Modify spares pricing; modifying spares pricing adjusts line item discount to indicate spares discount has been awarded.  If price is set above current retail price, then retail price presented on invoice is raised.
• Spares : More accurate tracking of cost price for profit reporting.
• Default discount: do not set default discount on workshop job if account uses cost or margin based discounting.  These notions exist in spares only.  To apply them, you need to sell parts from spares to workshop setting appropriate discount
• Workshop item pricing : allow user to modify pricing to set either ex GST price or inc GST price; at users discretion. e.g. in prior version c9 would usually only track one price; i.e. ex GST for labour.  If you wanted to charge $90 in GST, c9 now internally tracks the line item as $90 inc GST, instead of internally tracking it as $81.82 ex GST and recalculating to GST; which can create some rounding problems.  e.g. $12.70 INC = 11.55 Ex. But converting from 11.55 ex back to inc the result is 12.71.
• Workshop spares: track whether retail price is inc or ex GST, as per above described behaviour. Note the above behaviour changes do not apply to default staff rates.  Labour line items will track modified pricing, but default staff rates is always ex GST.
• Business : in activity is an option to 'lock' c9.  Transactions inserts or modifications that occur prior to the current lock date are disallowed.  i.e you cannot delete transaction records or insert new transaction records or make certain changes for items that occur in a prior GST reporting period.
• Bugfix with database connectivity.  C9 is designed to invisibly reconnect to database on network error. But it should not do this while in the middle of a database transaction; because this violates database integrity. Modified c9 to not do this.  Very rare condition because typically transactions only exist for a fraction of a second and if there are network breaks prior to transaction start the process of establishing a new transaction corrects the disconnect. Yet I know of at least once instance where this has probably happened.
• Catalog fixes
• Web based catalogs would not save the last two units. You had to run import 2 more times to get these. Now fixed
• Recent change broke catalogs that use tif encoded images (i.e. Honda/Yamaha/Suzuki). Imported images would be tiny white images with nothing in them.  Now fixed.

Bugfix : online web order processing could send out emails with 'Bolton Motorcycles' hard coded into the email message. Now fixed.

Adjustment to import softway catalogs (Husqvarna and MV Augusta) :  skip over broken hotlinks. In prior version some parts on diagrams in 2012 Husky range would generate a web page errr and cause import to abort. Modified so it skips over such parts.

• Bug : c9 would allow you to merge parts on order onto different invoice types. i.e. merge 'pickup later' parts onto a 'receipt' invoice.  This should not be allowed to occur. Modified c9 so it only allows for merging onto invoices of the same type.
• Point of sale at cost:  provide ability to configure, in setup, what cost price to use for calculating at cost.  Defaults to actual cost (i.e. lastincost for stocked items and daily buy for ordered items), can be changed to 'daily buy' or 'stock buy'.
• F7 lookup catalog. When selecting franchise, only display franchises that have catalogs
• Terminal Menu - what is my ip address? Add new menu option : what is the servers ip address?  Needed for Dave/Barney for doing network diagnostics

• Tweaks to BRP import
• Include Can-am ATV as import option
• Corrected description of Spyder import option
• Tweak to PFG import : make sure engine displacement is part of model name. i.e. instead of 'CR', it is 'CR 125', 'CR 250', etc

• Website : left hand menu bar can be setup so that clicking on a menu item will link you to an external website.
• Point of sale: option to sell parts directly to a unit.  Sale is actually treated as a workshop sale, workshop job is automatically created and then finalized as part of the point of sale process.  Saves having to go through workshop workflow when all you want to do is sell a couple of items to a floor unit.
• F12 pickup : display earliest creation date for orders involved for a given invoice
• Catalogs
• image processing improvements (better image scaling, better/faster clipping).
• Update Suzuki Aus bike listing.
• Import from brp website.  Can-am Spyder and Sea-doo Jet-skis
• Import from softway website, via Paul Feeney.   Husqvarna Motorcycles and MV Augusta.
• Usability : permit double click on catalog unit listing to drill down to actual diagrams
• Bug Fixes
• Receive order: somehow a received part ended up on an active order. Modify F12 receive to check active/printed order as well for parts ready for pickup.
• MYOB chart of accounts : structure was being inferred based on account numbering system. Modified to reflect the precise structure as managed inside MYOB, without regard for the numbering employed.
• Internal software changes
• Switched to latest Clarion 8 IDE.  Carefully audited software, function by function, and am confident in quality of migration
• Restructured code so that projection from network map to 1:M hierarchy is much smaller, 1/1000 of what it was.  Excessively large map projection was causing older Clarion 5.5 IDE to crash.

Requires database changes. Will force you to log all terminals out.

• Ad hoc adjustment report.  Reports cost variance (lastincost * adjustment).  System now tracks precise lastincost at time of adjustment; but this info is only available after upgrade to this version. For reporting prior to this system will use lastincost at start of the month
• Stock - new tracking: keep discounts. If set then importing new master will will not override discounts on stock. Similar to keep header and keep retail price.  On receive order if you select option set set daily or stock discount to reflect buy price then keep discounts flag is also automatically set.  Means that if you negotiate additional discount with a supplier then recording of that information will not be lost when a new price file is imported.
• Suzuki catalog : on raw catalog data from PMP,hotspots are regularly duplicated. This change means importing Suzuki will be a bit faster and database storage required much less.
• Catalogs : in add/edit franchise is an option that allows you to turn off online access to cataloges for the selected franchise. Defaults to on.
• Select customer: include option to compliment F6 = search by phone.  F7 = query search. Select customer based on things such as post code, contact name, etc etc.

• Bugfix with Suzuki Catalog import.  I assumed that Suzuki model names were unique but this is not the case.  i.e. a model name can exist for different regions. i.e. there are 2 GSX1250F 2011's : a E21 and a E28. Modified c9 to cope with this.  For units where there are duplicate matching years, i.e. like DR250S - import the model with the region code embedded in the name of the unit.
• Buy/Sell part : show receive inv number are applicable
• Bugfix with tracking supp/cust order qtys on stock. These figures can get out of sync for various reasons, modified code so that these are periodically checkpointed back to actual values, i.e. when stock order is generated and when a order is received.  There was a problem with a customer where c9 was generating database errors when trying to put parts on order. Cause was that system thought that there were over 32,000 engine oil containers on order; and database cannot handle numbers this big for this item.
