Includes DB changes. Need to log all terminals out during upgrade

• GL code change in v4 to v5 broke a couple of things. V4 code was 1-5100 was migrated to 1-5110 in v5 to make room allow finer discrimination of unit floorstock. Specifics:
  • Auto recompute GL based on inventory broken, was writing things back to original GL code which would inflate overall units on stock in GL
  • Trading statement formatting issues because it was expecting old codes, not news. now fixed
• Other fixes and tweaks
  • Unit deal print pro-forma : would incorrectly set ext gst price on units as inc gst on printout. Actual printed invoices are okay, just deals in progress are problematic.
  • Workshop pro-forma. Would not print any total/GST info. Now working.
  • Rebate bug fix : add collected rebate without supplier would generate a GL balance error. Now working.
  • Workshop ergonomics : on selecting ws part highlight qty to allow quick tweakage of qtys

• Till pop fixes and tweaks
  • Open till on cash sale not working. Now fixed.

Tweaks and fixes

• HD EPC importer, working again
• Added support for Off Road Imports Magician check.
• More tweaks to Payroll Summary, vol super needs to be deducted from gross wages.

Recent mail library updates were failing to deliver emails with attachments. Now fixed ( change of library name, wasn't anchored to java system classloader).

v5.1.2 only changes (pending)

• Migration refinement : tweak post migration to migrate cust AP/AR/debtor transactions ids
• Add support for cash basis BAS reporting

PAYG payment summary report bug fixes

• recently added emp super calculation is wrong when doing printout for multiple staff. Now fixes
• would not print gross figures for 6 figure salaries. Now working.

v5.1 changes

• Online backup with new v5 tables wasn't working. Now fixed. (bavkup code made incorrect assumptions about field ordering on database tables. Now fixed)

This version will be the first release candidate for Version 5.1 c9.  5.1 will be the first of approx 4 or 5 major upgrades as part of v5 rollout.

v5.1 delivers the following:

• Reworked general ledger where GL line items encode significantly more information, including tax coding. All depend systems, such as compliance reporting updated to use the new GL
• More flexibility in modifying postings, such as ability to change tax coding and GL codings after initial posting
• Centralized consistency in following concerns:
  • Payments : tendering, rounding, surcharging and change now works consistently across all txns.
• Missing  /removed functionality
  • Cash basis BAS reporting currently not present. Will be added shortly
  • Sync with MYOB/Xero/QB permanently removed.  (These were largely no longer working anyway for various reasons connected to individual vendors)
  • Unit split/merge permanently removed. (There are an alternative methodology that can be applied)

Future planned major upgrades will progressively move v4 style data-structures to v5 . Specifically

• v5.2 : AR/AP/Deposit handling: minimal functional gains
• v5.3 : spare parts.  FIFO inventory pricing, ability to easily edit orders/invoices. Better/more intuitive order handling. Better discount handling.
• v5.4 : workshop. Better discount handling.
• v5.5 : units. Better discount handling / price handling, unit asset management etc

Upgrade to V5.1 is by invitation only at this time with a couple of dealers only on the list. General access to v5.1 is likely to be opened up in August.

Changes:

• Single Touch Payroll. Sanitize other allowance description removing disallowed characters.
• Warranty : minor typo fix.
• Email integration, updated dependency on javax.mail to latest version. Looks like later version of java (v8 292) + older java.mail libraries are problematic with some mail relay points and will not connect.

• Select customer order screen. View customer button on this screen was broken. Now working again
• Accounting P&L report : filter units under consignment
• Order book, show date part was added to active order, not invoice date.
• PAYG Summary report : also show employer super contribution
• Unit deals : adding a part with default parts discount in play instead of line discount, the part correctly discounts but on resulting invoice it doesn't show that a discount % was applied. Now fixed.
• Magician check / backorder tweaks
  • Merging of results from other c9 dealers was visually busted and would create confusing results with mixed up part numbers. Now fixed
  • Sort part numbers alphabetically
  • Tweaks / fine tuning to status % count at bottom. Would misbehave under some scenarios
• Units profit summary.  Secondary subtotals based on clerk only was broken. Now fixed.
• Import Honda EPC, some changes to EPC software broke import. Now working again.

Bugfix : viewing locked payruns where payday is in July would crash c9. Recent addition of a warning screen that warns about variations between actual/nominate paydays in a financial year : this code broke view payrun screen when looking at locked runs. Now fixed

This version of c9 also includes alot of non-functional groundwork for V5 migration code. Not yet 100% ready. Next ver of c9 likely will include tooling to permit upgrading to V5.

Bugfix with importing price files + Toro where Toro franchise is configured to cope with dashes (-) being significant.  Recent price file import changes broke Toro dash stuff and import price file would not succeed. Now working again.

Fixes and tweaks

• Honda Order Export API : Make shipping config separate from shipping setting for OPEA based export. Because of reliability issues with DealerNet API dealers occasionally need to switch to OPEA method. Shipping setting here is different to setting for Export API. Making their storage separate will make process of switching export method a bit smoother.
• Bugfix with import PDF files for receive spares where some spares have packqty set.   The system recomputes qtys for packed items but it incorrectly can use pack settings from unrelated parts to influence other parts on the receival under some complex circumstances, causing their qtys to stuff up.  Now fixed in this version.
