• More problems with recently added GST exemption support.  Under some circumstances workshop job labour would be GST exempt:
  • Importantly : on labour added to jobs via timesheet clockon/clockoff
  • Creating a basic job
  • Purchase unit preassembly
• Bug fix with unit sales profit report. Was not handling rebate correctly.
• Other minor tweaks to rebates and unit reports.
• Major redesign of parts magician integration.
  • Messenger will now connect directly to parts magician server; not via PM client.
  • Point of sale now also connects directly to server. Point of sale experience is now more function rich.  PM responses are presented in point of sale. Mapping franchises to parts magician categories is now more intuitive
  • Connectivity now uses shop phone number as a fallback, if parts magician username is not set.

• Bugfix with handling GST on newly created estimates. Items on estimate would not include GST.  Regression bug from recent GST exempt changes

• Recommended deposit reclaim now successfully deals with cancelled order items
• Deposit reclaim - display deposit remaining and warn user if they type in a reclaim amount that exceeds the remaining deposit
• Workshop deposit - make it more accessible as a workshop sub menu option
• Workshop notify warn screen - provide user a button to suppress notification at this point in time
• Invoice notes. On order parts allow user to f5 notes. On F12 receive order the notes pop up in point of sale
• Accounts - allow setting of an invoice address. Print it on invoices.
• Add new unit via select unit screen : default GST to be on (previous default was GST exempt)
• Spares invoice: if tendered amount > invoice value give user option to switch to receipt sale
• Spares invoice: do not print change on invoice sales. There is no change. Same for tender display screen
• DB Scanner. Increase maximum size of input sql to unlimited. Was previously 100 char : far too small.
• DB maintenance : offer ability to reconstruct missing master file records from stock file
• Weekly planner : provide modify job button
• Spares point of sale new print option : both A4 and email.
• Point of sale F3 parts summary - include email option.
• New Spares report - show all adhoc inventory changes in reporting period
• Unit sales : when adding spares - price of spares goes onto final/full price. i.e. final/full price are not fixed when dealing with spares
• Account transaction tally report. Print unit invoices as a separate line item

• Online backup. Periodically send verification information to the server to improve nightly backup integrity checks

• Bugfix with regression bug introduced in 4.164.  Deposit reclaim would default to GST component of the minimum reclaim only, not the full amount.
• (Work in progress). Online backup periodic verification. Improvements to server side daily reporting on online backup status. Currently not functioning 100% yet.

This version needs to modify the database. On upgrade it will ask you to log out of all terminals. Note that this upgrade may take longer than other upgrades; possibly several minutes as it needs to apply alot of changes..

IMPORTANT NOTE: This version of c9 now uses GST rate tracked against stock and master file items as opposed to the global tax rate. It also tracks on floor units whether or not to sell GST exempt. Make sure you maintain these values correctly on managing stock and importing master files. The upgrade will force reset all values to 10%

• Added code to deal with Briggs & Stratton .xls price files and fact that parts are not on the first xls worksheet.
• Added ability to track GST exempt line items on spares, workshop and units. Mainly for handling medical aids, such as mobility carts. Spares items and unit items can now be GST exempt.
• Floor units can now be set as GST exempt or inclusive, so on sale they will default to given setting. (The setting can still be changed in POS)
• Added spares inventory checkpointing + report to show quantity on hand at 1st of any given historical month.  The implementation is not retrospective.  Only from moment of upgrade with historical inventory data be available.
• Added spares inventory journalling, to accurately track arbitrary changes to spares stocking, i.e.
  • Cancelled jobs
  • Stock takes
  • Manual F6 manipulation of stock
• Miner - report on customers who have purchased spares parts of type X within last Y months
• Accounts - in email statements allow setting of email text body. i.e. 'Dear {name}. See attached statement of account. We have specials on this month, blah blah blah.  Regards'
• Modify account - disallow modification of account limits unless a clerk key with exceed permission is provided
• Spares - allow setup of 'default' franchise. Bugfix with allowing adding parts where franchise is not set
• Improved UI on credit warning screen; with enter key behaviour and made arrow keys useful
• Jobs - colour code line items based on status of job
• Bugfix with moving parts. If all parts could successfully move it would print an empty report and say no parts moved.
• Bugfix - display unit sale details will not display invoice deposit correctly

This version needs to modify the database. On upgrade it will ask you to log out of all terminals.

• Import parts from YPIC/Honda Parts etc.  Cope with Windows 7 environments with UAC in effect where export files are written into Win7 VirtualStore directory
• Increased maximum size of email address from 40 characters to 64 characters.
  • 64 should be plenty. As per this histogram of email addresses.
• Accounts now have a second 'account' email. On emailing statements, this is used instead of normal email address if set.
• Accounts now have a second billing/shipping address. If it is set, and set as a 'postal/billing' address then when printing statements this second address is printed on the statement instead of the primary address.
• Accounts now have flag to enable/disable bulk sending of SMS/email.  Bulk sending SMS/Email in Miner is simplified. In miner, in customer make sure radio button: Enable Bulk sms/email is set.  Then click on unsorted mail merge. The rest should be self explanatory
• Accounts now have a GST exempt flag for flagging overseas customers for example.  In spares point of sale, if there is a mismatch between selected account's exempt flag and F9-exempt status of the invoice, a message question will pop up allowing the user to switch
• Accounts - new setup option which always suggests account codes with trailing two digits. i.e. JOHN Smith is SMIJ00, SMIJ01, SMIJ02 ... SMIJ10, SMIJ11 ... SMIJ99

• Changes to Spares SMS notification
  • On POS complete user has 3 options:
    • Do not send SMS
    • Send sms if any parts arrive
    • (new) send sms only when all parts arrive for a given invoice
  • Send on all parts can be defaulted via Setup config
  • Bugfix with misreporting total # of parts available to pickup/still on order
• Workhop complete - forewarn user if an SMS/Email will be sent on completion
• Phonebook - allow screen to resize & be maximized to increase screen realestate
• Export master file. Disable retail option. Add option to compress file
• slight visual tweak to cash account deposit taking in accounts

• Redesigned units menu. To make it easier to feed in rebates and writebacks
• Modified main menu to include correct support/admin contact details
• Tweaked select job so job records are preferentially highlighted. Makes user experience smoother.

This version needs to modify the database. On upgrade it will ask you to log out of all terminals.

• Added unit rebates
• Added tradein writebacks
• Changes to import generic
  • Improved memory efficiency when importing .xlsx files
  • Cope with files which have more than 10 columns better; by ignoring columns that appear to not contain data
• Units Point of Sale can now print/request Tender information. Needs to be enabled via setup.
• Print stock/daily orders. Increased page real-estate for part description. So when part description ends with critical data, i.e. engine oil 2T/4T and/or size of the bottle tends to be at the end of the part description.
• Business modify activity/ledger item. Fixed date format
