• Bugfix with receiving orders. When receiving an order, when stock order is received prior to a daily order the system is supposed to automatically reassign parts to preference customer orders over re-stocking orders.  This functionality does not always work properly under some circumstances. e.g. (receiving a part into stock where 2 or more customers are also waiting on that part).  The system sometimes does not properly identify an opportunity to fill a customer order and places parts into stock.  This version fixes these issues.
• Point of Sale.  Point of sale used to have a feature that allows you to assign parts to order by customer to parts already ordered on stock order; thus skipping creation of a daily order.  This functionality creates too much confusion amongst users and is in part redundant because of fact that system will auto assign parts on receive order anyway.  The functionality has been removed from this version of c9
• Workshop select job.  Tabs like rego now allow you to type in a rego number to search for. Just like job no searching.

• Possible Bug fix with leasing software. Under some rare circumstances lease could corrupt and require remote support intervention to get system working again.
• Modified behaviour of move stock. It will detect if move stock will result in error due to duplicate part numbers and give you option to proceed but only move non duplicate parts. The system will also generate a printable report of parts that are duplicate for manual resolution.  Also recoded move logic show it should run faster.

C9 now has an option that permits your system to perform backups to backup servers online. The backup information is generated live as you use c9. If you modify an account, perform a sale, receive a stock order etc, then that vital information is automatically backed up onto servers on the internet within a few seconds. Restoring from a backup involves downloading a backup file from the internet.

• Modified how 'scan for servers' works to hopefully get a more complete list of computers on the network. Technique involves scanning 'network neighbourhood' in explorer. Because different window versions and network configurations display this list in slightly different ways it may take a further version or 2 to get this working perfectly.
