• Tweaks and fixes
  • Add transaction,  only show gl code selector for bills and invoices. (Previously would show for any supplier txn type even though it is only relevant for bills)
• New features
  • Parts label printing : add ability to print optionally todays date. Defaults to MM/YY format.
  • Receive spares. New butt on :fix pack qty. This button allows you to easily feed in amended pack qty data during receival. Tidies up receive qty without impacting price tallies and memorizes/ writes back the new pack qty setting into stock/master files.  To enable this feature you need to configure franchise so that orders as based on pack by default.
    

• Tweaks and fixes
  • Deals. Color code deal lines orange where pickupdate is 3 to 1 days away
  • Tweak unit invoice wording for finance to show 'Finance Payment' instead of 'Amount Financed', as finance payment is a more accurate description. (Actual amount financed may include fees and charges etc which are not even visible to the dealer).
  • Print workshop pro-forma. Was not displaying deposit on job, now fixed.

More reworking 5.2 migrator. On some systems, especially with data initially migrated from competitor systems original migration code required an excessive amount of memory to work.  Reworked to minimise memory requirements.

A refinement on 5.1.79 migrator. More efficient algorithm for figuring out how to batch txns. (improved txn graph collator).

More work on 5.2 migrator.

Previous migrator  could fail with out of memory error, either in java itself or the database. The migrator 'batches' work to migrate processing all txns for a given contact in a single batch ( a batch might involve multiple contacts but each contact is processed in a single batch).  Problem is some systems, especially systems where we migrated data from competitor systems which defined cash sales as a contact, the # of txns for a single customer can be insanely large (Typically batch size is around 500 txns, but some systems can have customers with 70k txns against a single customer). New migrator includes some smarts to create much smaller batches of work, avoiding running into memory issues ( batch based on network graphs of interlinked txns, instead of batching by customer).

Tweaks and fixes

• Tweaks to HD epc importer to get it working again
• Job complete , send email + costs. Would crash . Now fix (5.2 deposit changes not integrated into email notify msg construction).

Bug fixes with 5.2 migrator which would prevent migration from working. GL rebalance logic busted when rebalancing on days where there exists deleted txns conaining gl codes that require rebalancing.

Migrate to 5.2 tweaks : improve migration of old taxed spares deposits.

Includes DB changes you need to log all terminals out during upgrade

This version includes a repair for 5.1 to 5.2 install. If v5.2 install fails, the messenger gets locked. Upgrading to this version unwedges that

This version (and in 5.2) includes changes to messenger to make it's unattended upgrade function work better. Unattended upgrade is supposed to trigger an automatic install on messenger computer if messenger computer isn't in use. It can go haywire in some circumstances. This version tweaks the logic a bit : wait until DB is fully upgraded before attempting to do an automatic update. Should minimise messenger going haywire significantly.

5.2.8 changes only

• Edit txn would not work on some txns created in v4 or v5 (bills and invoices). Should be okay now.

v4: nags user that v4 is at end of life.

v5.1: nags user to install v5.2
