C9 can now fetch rego details for tas plates when adding/purchasing a unit.
Key in rego number, press F11 = online lookup, select TAS. (Also works for VIC/QLD/NSW)
Butmac have given C9 permission to distribute price files.
A couple of fine points on the price file that is available:
To setup.
This version fixes a very serious bug. The bug can result in all transactions done within a session of c9 to be lost.
Cause: system errors in c9, such as insufficient memory error while doing massive workloads like importing parts/fiche images, can put c9 in such a state that all operations done afterwards are not correctly saved. Normally, when confronted with such errors, users will shutdown the system and retry. But if you continue to try and use c9 after such an error, there is a chance, based on the type of system error and when it occurred, that none of the work done from that point onwards will be saved.
Further, c9 has some tests for this situation to check and warn user that this has happened. But they are only implemented in point of sale screen. So if you have system crash, never use point of sale on that c9 session, and do other things, like sell units, you will never notice.
The conditions required to make this bug occur are exceedingly rare, but the severity of the issue deserves it's own version of c9 to deal with it.
Fix introduced:
Following describes how to get PC-EFTPOS integrated into c9.
Assumes you have had people setup PC-EFTPOS and verified it is working via PC-EFTPOS client control panel thingo and that you have docket printers working on c9.
Setup -> Main Setup Screen -> EFTPOS / Paypal
32bit Windows
Key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\CullenSoftwareDesign\EFTCLIENT\CLIENT
SubKey: IP_INTERFACE_PORT
Value: 8900 decimal (22c4 Hex) DWORD64bit Windows
Key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Wow6432Node\CullenSoftwareDesign\EFTCLIENT\CLIENT
SubKey: IP_INTERFACE_PORT
Value: 8900 decimal (22c4 Hex) DWORD
Next, you need to tell c9 which payment instrument triggers PC-EFTPOS. In Payments section, tick 'E' for EFTPOS integration for the correct option
Thats it. Now when you do a sale with eftpos you will see eftpos sync screen, like this in c9:
This step needs local IT hardware/network support.
More issues with systems integration into KTM/Husky. 🙁
Public KTM/Husky sites now broken. You will notice if you click back button on browser and click on a different diagram, it loads the diagram you where previously looking at; making it an even more painful and useless website to use. Spent ages trying to workaround/ understand this brain damage but unable to and cannot figure out why, so I am disabling it as too unreliable to be used as a data source for fetching fiche diagrams.
For the login based dealernet websites: I've modified code slightly to try and decode bike names a little better. It is difficult, because names are written differently, sometimes for example you'll have year and country code in <>, but other times it is embedded in the model name itself. It looks like it was hand typed (by a trained monkey?), instead of computer generated from discrete database fields, so parsing/decoding important information such as year and country is now alot harder and reliable results cannot be as readily guaranteed. Using this data is far from ideal, but it is all that there is now. Consider this one: is it 2012 or 2013?
125 DUKE COLOR 1 ABS 2012 <2013> <8003M4>
Cross fingers and hope that brain damage on public parts sites doesn't spread to the login only sites.
Includes database changes, you'll need to log all terminals out during upgrade
Recent removal of partsmagician removed ability to do a F12 query on KTM.
KTM query was actually implemented in Parts magician : so disabling parts magician disabled KTM query.
KTM query now moved into c9. Does not impact Husqvarana as Husky use new Husky website to check availability.
Parts magician, which has been running since June 2003 will be shutdown this week. Over past 13 years it has processed close to 2 million requests and replies.
Moving forward, there will be now a c9 only implementation of parts magician. The new systems look exactly the same from a c9 operations perspective: but uses different technology.
Benefits:
Consequences:
Parts magician completely removed and replaced with a c9 based alternative. After upgrading, following differences:
Workshop booking reminders. With multiple c9 messengers running over multiple days a-piece, system could send duplicate notifications as messenger did not properly check if another messenger had already done this task.
