DB Schema Change (belated. Actual change was in 4.146 but schema update enforcement occurs here)

• Bug Fix: Point of sale. Going into sub menu than back to point of sale under some circumstances would cause focus on part in the list to be lost (caused by resizing)
• Select Order: Made scroll bar thumbs work
• Select order: on open automatically scroll to the bottom of the list. (This is how pre 4.144 version worked)
• Bug Fix: Credit spares on a receipt invoice involving a account customer would credit account and record cash payout
• Bug Fix: For calculating late repayment: system could miscalculate received payments if system was in 'on statement' mode; resulting in accounts being misreported as being overdue
• Bug Fix: Cancel workshop job and re-pick it up. The payment values on bottom of job merge 'deleted' job and the re-picked up job effectively doubling the number on the bottom of the invoice
• Bug Fix: Sell unit. The deposit amount is 'memorized' for the next sale.
• Bug fix: upgrades to 4.146 could cause system to lockup - requiring restart of server to complete upgrade process. This version avoids this issue so upgrades from before 4.145 to this version will not suffer this problem.

• Who brought what report : Has been renamed to Buy & Sell. It also includes received parts on order mixed in with sale parts
• Bug: put in guard so that not possible for a terminal to be trying to update multiple times simultaneously

• Bug Fix: Occasional crash reports from live systems. Believe that problem is caused by thread races on application shutdown (between frame thread and MDI login thread). Hopefully this release will fix this problem
• Added online backup support

• Bug Fix: 4.144 introduced an annoying bug. If you start c9, exit and then start the program again c9 would crash. But if you then start again - it was ok. But then exit and start it would crash again. This version fixes this bug.

• Look and Feel : do not allow user to tab into a list which is empty : tab to the next available control
• Look and Feel : some screens where there are no focusable controls would cause keyboard to 'lockout'. i.e. you had to click on the close icon. This bug is now fixed. ESC key and any hot keys now behave as they should.
  • Example: units sales. Add Unit but instead of adding a unit from browse popup press escape key. the add a unit to the sale screen is now 'locked'. I.e. cannot press ESC or F2. User has to click on close icon
• Reprint invoice view screen. If credit note : still allow 'email' button to be used
• Orders: rewrote select order screen from scratch. Fixing a couple of minor bugs and performance constraints in the previous one
• Accounts : allow deposits/withdrawals to be deleted/undeleted
• Unit sale : on ask for deposit permit user to type in an amount less than total available deposit in a more obvious/more intuitive window
• Open till : provide settings to control when till opens. i.e. only open on cash or cheque sale. Default behaviour is to open whenever any instrument is presented. If there is no payment method then till will not open

• Units Bug: selecting units for sale would under some circumstances select a different unit: not the unit requested
• Units Bug: show similar units was not handling/finding units with model/year dates properly

• Estimates - add parts. F10 out of POS will cause parts to be added to the estimate straight away
• Unit sales : on sell unit screen rename 'encumberances' to 'cost of extras'.
• Account audit report
  • was not printing/displaying deposit/withdrawal invoice types. Instead printing <invalid>
  • Print clerk key, if there is a clerk key and operator field is blank
• Export Order : Parts are in partnumber order in exported file

  in order to establish default images for stock/units missing web content : franchise, supplier, stktype, unittype, make.

  • In folder search, only display unorganised estimates which where created in the last 3 months
• Units : modified units so that you can assign multiple costs such as stamp duty while unit is on dealership floor. Done via modify unit or on purchase unit. Allows for more accurate setting of likely sale price. (Needed for publishing prices via web online)

  Orange

  Unit is on floorplan with some curtailment payments made

  Red
