C9 Payroll STP Phase 2 (PDF)

• Tweaks and fixes
  • Magician
    • Link Int : now working again
    • MCS: now working with new website
  • Payoll STP Phase 2 : incorporated feedback from ATO, vol super needs to be reported in two places. as both a deduction and a RESC. Previously was only reported as a deduction
  • Spares Orders: new config switch to force selection of a customer for parts that require ordering (option is on spares 2 tab of main setup screen)
  • Repair Authority fine print. Increase size of what c9 can store
  • Factory Unit rollback. Would pop a enigmatic, but safe to ignore, debugging message on screen.  Now tidied up.

Tweaks and fixes

• Deal / Substitute unit, a couple of quality of life changes
  • Add an icon to indicate which units are already on a deal
  • Add a make / model search filter
• Orderbook, added an advanced move function where you can move a part to a specific order #. (only if suppliers match)
• Payroll : STP export tweak. Was not sending the name of operator who authorised the export. Now fixed
• Calibrate barcode labels: add button wasn't work (prob hasn't work since 2019! I guess not many people ever used it). Now fixed.
• Move parts: added a couple of filter options to try and match on part description too

• Tweaks and fixes
  • KTM Factory power wear/power parts importing working again (!)
  • Added magician query for new Fox Racing dealer portal
  • Polaris magician : would not work for some dealers ( depending on how carts on dealer portal are laid out. Previously assumed last cart in the list was a PGA cart ). Now fixed, also generally should be a bit quicker / more reliable too.
  • Bank Rec -> Other  misc txns . Add new option to separate interest earned from interest paid
  • Bulk magician : was not working for A1 accessories. Now fixed.
  • Unit -> Sale -> rollback : renamed to "rollback sale" to make it clearer what it does
  • View jobs via view unit. Resized window was not positioning view job button correctly. Now fixed.

Includes database changes. You'll need to log all terminals out during upgrade

• Tweaks and fixes
  • Payroll money report. Was no longer tallying allowances such as tool allowance. Now fixed. (regression bug caused by recent STP Phase 2 changes)
  • Workshop jobs filter by location : show all jobs for a given mechanic if that mechanics location matches the current filtered location (irrespective of where the jobs are tagged)
  • Browse fitment : add a horizontal scrollbar to supers parts for fitments where the super-cession chain is massive.
  • Profit summary report changes:
    • Was not including generic income (or refunds). Now included
  • Sell parts to workshop internal department : system would incorrectly merge parts previously sold meaning the additional part would show up in profit summary for date of original part, not current date. Now fixed.
  • Import parts + images from Monza B2B:  working again.
  • New config setting for new workshop jobs. Forces location to be blank and forces operator to explicitly pick a location on creating a new job
  • V4 migrated payroll data bugfix, was possible to unlock and redo a v4 created payrun and it would double things up on general ledger. Now fixed
  • disallow converting a deal into a quote

includes DB changes, you'll need to log all terminals out during upgrade

• Workshop main screen tweaks
  • Scheduled tech list is sorted alphabetically. Previously list was not explicitly sorted and actual result was entirely at the whims of the database
  • Scheduled techs
    • Now have a location.  When set main workshop will filter based on this
    • Now have a color.  Tech tabs will colour based on this.
  • Locations: System now has a global default location settable via locations. On creating new job location will default to this if terminal lacks its own default
• Other tweaks and fixes
  • Bulk Txn list: provide a running tally as txns are selected/deselected
  • Print units to order : include customer / deal particulars just like full list print does
  • Auto sync GLs : fixup issue where overcommitted deposit on spares invoices was not reflecting on the GL. (Work is part of prepping for v5.2 migration)
  • till adjust txns : show a total in activity screen (not retroactive, only applies to tills done from here on)

Bugfix with processing statement conditions such as ontime payment rebates / late payment fees.  Would cause c9 to flash save mode unknown and then c9 would shutdown, now fixed.  Root cause : statement condition logic was not correctly ported from v4 to v5.

• Tweaks and Fixes
  • Scheduler : was showing 'booked in' for jobs which are received. Now fixed
  • Typo fix on update terminal screen, repair for typo will apply on future updates after this one
  • Bugfix with locked payment method surcharges. Although locked was set, operator could still initially modify the figures.  Now fixed.
  • Alternatives was not handling matching + supers perfectly. Now sorted.
  • BRP EPC import : Can-Am Roadster wasn't importing. Now fixed.
  • Barcode printing : a new advanced option that will spool barcodes to printers as bitmaps instead of fonts.  Having trouble with with one client printing labels using code 128 barcodes and I strongly suspect problem is with how windows/printer driver is handling the embedded code 128 font.  Hopefully by doing barcode / font rendering in c9 and transmitting to printer as a bitmap will unwedge their issue.
• Payroll STP Phase 2 testing tweaks
  • ECT outcomes
    • Tweak STP document timestamp to be right now for replacements (as opposed to submits which clip to payday)
    • Make sure Deductions are not removed from periodW1
  • Tweaked allowances to add a new pay item type, to distinguish between allowances where you need to withhold (e.g. tool allowance) and allowances where you do not, (car allowance)
  • Browse STP Submissions : view option to view STP XML request/reply pretty print formatted

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

This version includes a number of changes to help untangle some of the complex movement of parts & deposits that can arise when 'merge parts ready to invoice' feature in point of sale is used heavily. Specifics:

• View transaction changes
  • Related invoice changes
    • Include invoices where parts where moved from to as part of merge
    • Colour code lines. (Red: moved parts, Yellow: invoiced parts, Green: converted quote)
    • Add a button to expand the list and look at particulars such as date, order num, amount etc
  • Part list : show original invoice number if any
  • show deposit balance instead of deposit : more useful and intuitive thing to display
• Deposit history : show invoice type + no
• Print a4 invoice tweaks
  • audit list also includes figures from invoices that move into printed invoice
  • show invoice# + type in audit list
• disallow merge invoice into a new reserve.

Other changes and fixes:

• backfill linking of deposit reclaims on general ledger. This info was missing for a few versions of v5
• rework memorize clerk key to make UX / keyboard workflow a bit smoother & more predictable. Force clerk window to open but pre-populate it. This will allow memorize to work buy allow muscle memory inputting on clerk to continue to work fine. Also increase retention time from 30 seconds to 5 minutes.

Includes DB changes. You need to log all terminals out during upgrade

Tweaks and fixes

• Harley Price file importer, bring in Status / NLA data so online harley epc websites can show these NLA parts on the diagrams
• Bug fix with bas forms.  If you modify a pending form and hit save, the save silently fails. You need to toggle it from pending to paid to workaround this.  Now fixed.
• PC-EFTPOS integration. Disable a setting (TopMost on SetDialog) which may be causing obvious keyboard focus steal issues for a specific c9 user using PC-EftPOS shared by multiple terminals.
• Workshop scheduler tweaks
  • auto update scheduled mechanic from scheduler inputs
  • preset effort on job types preloads into effort calculation
  • leave color coding : change to something more obvious instead of white (dark cyan)
  • Add ability to access leave. Also color code button if any staff have leave in play / imminent
• Profit Summary report : do not report goods in expenses implicitly reported in COGs figures already
•  double length of printer names to better work with default named docket printers shared over network
• command line option to ignore memorized main window positioning configuration. Setting is /max
• Added color coding to workshop locations so it can be a bit more visually obvious which location is being managed in workshop
• reconciliation quality of life changes
  • Nag if user tries to save a rec which finalises yesterday/today or in future : to discourage recing this way and causing future discordant txns
  • Make sure ignored reconciles in reference reconciliation roll into discordant txn list (more intuitive behaviour when overlapping recs are in play)
