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.
Bugfix : Point Of Sale provides the ability to import part list from a workshop estimate. If you access point of sale to add parts to workshop, either via Workshop F5 = add parts option or F11 = Modify/other and then use F7 to import from an estimate this will not work as you would expect; it does not add parts onto the selected job at all and it generates a spares invoice that refers to the estimate, not the actual job selected and it will order parts and take parts out of stock. Now fixed. The more commonly used technique of creating a new job from a estimate did indeed work and still works. Also the technique of going to Point of Sale directly and picking the workshop job via F10 also worked; but any process where you selected the workshop job to add parts to before you selected the estimate to import parts from would not work correctly.
- Catalogues
- Import DealerNet web suppliers: KTM and Husaberg. For KTM this new method is preferred over importing PDF files : as this method gets units prior to 2006 and it also extracts hotspot information. (clickable zones on fiche diagrams)
- View invoice : show related invoices in a hierarchy (i.e. credit notes, order/receive invoices). Allow user to select related invoice to view invoice information (removed parent/child buttons added in previous version. This UI model is much easier to work with)
- Spares credit note: on changing customer with F6=Select Customer, do not automatically override discount to offset credit note using customers default discount if the credit note has inherited discounting information from the original invoice. To change discount, user has to now explicitly select 'F2 discount' option and key in discount offset.
- Catalogues
- Kawasaki import was failing to import some units; i.e. KLX450, now fixed.
- Suzuki - suzuki parts have trailing 000 on them. C9 deals with this when you barcode scan part, but fiche function were not properly coping with this. Now fixed
- Spares - F7 Buy/Sell. Users can now browse orders and invoices connected to a given part. New window allows you to drill down into the invoice, the original order, or access order receive function. Makes navigating the relationships managed in c9 easier. Also shows various part numbers that eventually supercede from/to the selected part.
- View Invoice : give user ability to access parent invoice and child invoice. Child invoices are typically credit notes and subsequent invoicing of parts previously ordered. Makes navigating the relationships managed in c9 easier
- Workshop bug : it was possible to pickup a workshop job twice; on different terminals. Modified so when pickup is selected the system explicitly checks that job status has not been changed by another terminal
