• Backorder availability : a few visual improvements to indicate status of site update. Also include ability to print the resulting data
• Dead stock report : option to not consider parts not to be reordered (minqty=0, maxqty=0) as dead stock

• New order function : allows you to do magician query on multiple parts simultaneously : for all parts on backorder across entire system (via order book) or for a given order (view view order). Used to check availability for backordered items. Especially useful for KTM/Husqvarna dealers to quickly discover if a part that has gone onto backorder can actually be supplied from within Australia from the alternative bin. Useful for stuff which customer needs in a hurry and is potentially carried by another dealer
• Bugfix with honda inventory test. If you looked up a dodgy part, future inventory tests on that terminal might fail. Should now be more reliable
• Initial Paypal integration into c9 now complete. Capture web payments via paypal and finalise paypal payment processing from within c9.

Bugfix in version 4.460, work I did to make tabs optionally hidden for select job stuffs up tabs in places where tabs cover multiple lines, such as the main setup screen. Some tabs a missing when the cover multiple lines. Now fixed.

Unit line items : permit non dutyable line items to be based on formula. So things like stamp duty costs can be setup as either on road costs or as non duty invoice items. Whichever suits.

• Import Generic price file. Support importing CSV files which are semi-colon delimited : i.e. Husky Power Equipment
• New units report : reports on tax invoice line items what are not spare parts or inherited from pre-delivery jobs
• Main workshop screen : include option to hide tabs in order to better utilise screen real-estate and not have tabs clogged up with search options never used.  Hiding is memorised on a per terminal basis

Updating java while c9 is running is sometimes problematic.  C9 holds onto files java wants to update, stopping those files from updating causing java to be half-updated, and sometimes broken.

Problem is really java's fault, it should detect that it is trying to install while it is already running and ask you to kill c9 first.

If for example you update to java 8 while c9 is running on java 7, after restart you might see something like this:

To fix this, you need to uninstall java in the control panel. Uninstall all running copies of java.

Then goto http://java.com/ and install java fresh.

Another bugfix : recent changes to enforce minqty to be >= ecordqty are actually incorrect as previously the system would round up minqty re-orders instead of rounding down : meaning minqty<ecordqty is functionally meaningful and system needs to allow users to key in such things.

In english:  If ecordqty= 10,  and you key in minqty of 2, the moment your stock goes down below 2 c9 will re-order 10 more.  So having parts where minqty=2 and ecordqty=10 does something and makes sense.

Bugfixes

• GST Report, would misreport year model. Now fixed
• Export OPEA order: was not memorising export options for 'Alt' export method properly.

• Unit sale bugfixes
  • Could not delete purchased unit off a deal, now fixed
  • deal to sale with deposit : disallow account sale for now (I will revisit this later to convert deposit into payment)
• Workshop Timesheet report : size fonts for smaller blocks and if start=finish then do not print expanded line to fit as many techs onto the page as possible
• Miner : bug fixes with printing address labels via miner : did not work in some circumstances. Also include option to print one or multiple labels per customer. Defaults to one.

Recently added ability to pop reminders in c9 can be constrained based on the login user you login as.

You login as sales:

For a given customer reminder, you can make sure only people logged in as sales, get that reminder, instead of all users, so spares and workshop users are not bothered by reminders relevant to sales side of the business only

To add new login user, Setup -> Other Settings -> Login Users.

For those who need more nagging in their lives, c9 can now nag you relentlessly about things it thinks require doing. Such as:

• Open spares quotes
• Parts that needs to be ordered
• Stock that needs to be re-ordered
• Parts that were ordered but taking a long time to arrive
• Parts that have been waiting for a customer to pickup for a while

For suggestions on more things to add into c9 to monitor/remind please contact us and we will look at adding them into c9

To enable these: goto Setup -> Other Settings -> Notifications/Monitors.

Click on Insert to add a new notification, the system will ask you what type of notification to add. You can then tune things relevant to that type of notification.

Once added, the nag will appear in notification section in top right of c9:
