Tweaks to tender / post invoice screen for spares. Display invoice details as part of tender display, invoice# etc so dealer knows what no# was issued when they do not select print invoice.  For quotes/reserves, tender details are greyed out but invoice particulars are still displayed.

More migration tweaks

Tweaks and fixes

• Spares quote : was not printing totals now fixed
• Fine tune no instruments mode : open up tender screen
• Fine tune clerk key behaviours. Was asking for clerk keys always even when clerk keys are partially/fully disabled in some areas. Now fixed.

Tweaks and fixes

• Units quotes broken in this ver of c9. Now working again. Specifics:
  • Quote creation broken
  • Printing existing quotes broken
  • Converting existing quotes to an invoice was fine tho.

V5 migration tweaks

• Old BAS forms would reference defunct cash GST code causing migration to fail. Now patched
• More work on patching sublet migration.
• Couple more unmatched txn types
• Cope with bug from 6 years ago where in a multi unit sale/purchase one of the units could be rolled back without affecting others

V5 migration tweaks

• For very old c9 clients, 1 or 2 decades old who never have had to restore from online backups, migrator would fail because of very subtle non functional differences between an old database that is decades old vs one restored from backups. Now sorted (not nullpointer guards on db columns)
• A few minor odd variations in historical data, doucmented in gitlogs
• Tweaks to sublet migration, some bad sublet data where sublet status is mismatched from general ledger causing issues. Fixed by realigning the sublet with GL

The first installment of C9 v5 is now finally here.

To upgrade from v4 to v5. Do the following:

1. Make sure running latest v4. Main -> check for updates
2. After latest update is in then click on Main -> install v5.  It is best to do this on server computer as doing upgrade there will run faster.
3. Click through the screens until it completes. C9 will stop and start a couple of times during this
4. All done

A couple of notes.

Time to upgrade upgrading to v5 can take a long time especially if you have been using c9 for a while. If your c9 has a couple of decades worth of data in it and your server computer is a bit on the old side, low RAM and doesn't have SSD drives in it, upgrade will take about 30 minutes. So best left for end of the day. Newer systems with only 1 or 2 years worth of data, upgrade will take about 2 minutes.

In case of error The upgrade process is complex and there is a risk it might not work. If your upgrade doesn't work c9 will automatically revert back to v4.If this happens to you, let us know and we will investigate further and tweak the upgrader to work for you.

• Fixes and tweaks
  • Balance Sheet : previous changes to include pending GST input credits didn't work correctly. Now fixed
  • Balance sheet, show balance posted directly to bank code, even if there are individual banks to display.
  • P&L : v4 style reporting excluded non income/cost codes. No longer appropriate to do this. Now fixed
  • Activity locking : for GL locks do not lock entire GL, only lock codes that influence balance sheet. (Previously could not collect rebates initialized in a locked period).
  • Modify floor stock, make sure v4 repaired lines are cleaned out on GL update
  • Business -> Activity, new export option to distinguish between exporting all tax coded lines vs exporting absolutely everything, incl. lines without any coding at all

Migrate to v5 tweaks

• On install v5 failure, make sure DB is reset back to a state where messenger doesn't think an upgrade is happening. Previously a failure would break messenger
• Migrator changes : see migrator changelog for details.

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

• Fixed up a couple of database tables in schema, didn't have a primary key. Would cause potential performance issues especially with online backup. One table in particular can be quite big.  Now sorted. (affected tables: authaudit and taxform)
• Under some exotic, forced circumstances it is possible to have deposits with -ve deposits. (when you force reclaim to be > then original deposit on F12 cust pickup). But in view invoice/deposit screen the -ve wouldn't show. Now fixed)
• Updated QLD vehicle inspection sheet form to latest
