Release 4.202 July 5, 2011 barney

Modifications with units rebates. Originally assumed that rebates where only relevant post unit sale; but this is not the case for some suppliers (i.e. Yamaha). Cleaned up the software so that it can better deal with recording rebates while unit is still on the floor or even during point of purchase.

Tweaks to sales full history. Was not taking quotes or credit notes into account. Same for application setup too rebuild monthly sales qtys

Release 4.201 July 2, 2011 barney
  • Bugfix with spares discounts.  If you select daily or stock buy price as basis of calculating discount, it would work fine for parts coming out of stock, but for parts on order it would always use the actual order receive price, not either daily/stock pricefile price.  Modified so that it always uses price file daily/stock buy if user wishes to discount based on either of these.
Release 4.200 June 30, 2011 barney
  • Accounts - could not print Credit note or debit note transactions. Now fixed
Release 4.199 June 30, 2011 barney

    Note that this version will modify the database and will force you to log all terminals out as part of upgrade

    • Bugfix with generic price file import.  Importer would hide fields which have no data in them in the first 100 rows. But supercession fields may appear blank because supercessions may not start appearing until after the 100th part number. Solution is that if header appears to be a supercession, then include it, even if first 100 rows are blank
    • Website management
      • Introduced notion of stock part grouping; so stock parts on website group together. Currently they group by analyzing stock description; i.e. if part ends with BLK, RED, XS, LARGE, 32 etc etc. This new setting gives finer control over this logic
      • Website units - will now publish new units on website. But new units need to be mapped onto website individually
    Release 4.198 June 29, 2011 barney
    • Harley Master file import : supercession slot contained things which which are not part numbers. Such as "AFTERMARKET", "CFITMENTCOMMENTS" and "VINTAGEPARTS".  Modified c9 so that on Harley import, if super cession slot does not contain a 'part' with at least one digit, assume the master file is dodgy and assume part does not supercede.
    • Miner bulk mail merge:
      • Detect duplicate SMS/Email could not handle SMS/Email with multiple lines. Now fixed
      • Report on actual number of SMS/Email messages sent on "send all"; not just number tested.

    Release 4.192 June 9, 2011 barney

    Bugfix with receiving orders. The system would allow you to receive Order A#, type in parts for Order B# and update parts for both A# and B#. But there was a bug; Order B# would not update it's status in such a way that things like F12 customer pickup would refresh and display new orders ready for pickup. Bug fix will exhaustively test all open orders that might be impacted by a receive order and update them if necessary.

    Release 4.191 June 7, 2011 barney
    • Modifications to printer sub system so it can cope with unusual printers, such as Zebra barcoder.  Pre remote version of c9 did work, but functionality was broken with changes where c9 forced printer to use print setup attributes such as A4 paper etc.  C9 now checks details of printer and only sets print job attributes if it is not going to cause print job to fail with an error.
    • Account discount tab - also allow setting of discount % rate on this tab
    • View accounts - include a tab for displaying account customers only
    • Unit Sale/Profit report. Print clerk key.
    • Add workshop part. Default quantity to 1
    • Workshop - added ability to include cost of job on notify customer of completed job (email and SMS)
    • Bugfix with paying out a unit. Payout would not create a business activity record
    • Bugfix with taking floorplan payments of any kind.  Under some circumstances these payments would reflect on cash till report when they never should do any such thing.
    • Modifications to online backup client.  Some algorithm/bugfix tweaks: performance and state changes. Integrity of backups not an issue.  e.g. backup would transmit incremental changes twice, because of a bug in windowing algorithm: doubling bandwidth required for online backups.  Now only transmits once.
