MaxxTraxx Pro CE 5.0.1.0 - 12/30/09
(Current)

ADDED -
MaxxBucks Customer Retention module.
This is a customer retention module that works like a rewards program
for your customers. Each time they have

Discount Duckets, etc.) This is set up in the new Marketing section
of the Setup Menu.

upcoming appointments and projected scheduled technician hours. Also added a Button on the Service Counter
Schedule to call the new Monthly Appointment Calendar.

the Setups/Company Setup/Display tab for "Amount of hours available for
appointments per day". This is to
work in conjunction with the Month Calendar view of future scheduled
appointments.
·
ADDED - Feature
when adding a buyout part to an RO and selecting "Add Another",
it now remembers the vendor and vendor invoice and pre-fills them on the next
buyout to add. This only works if you
are NOT tracking Buyout parts in Inventory setups.
·
ADDED - Appointment contact setup under the Marketing setup
menu. This feature is meant to set the
amount of lead time when calling customers to remind them not to miss their
scheduled appointments.
·
ADDED - Appointment Contact list to view and contact customers
with upcoming appointments. This can be
accessed from the Toolbar Menu choice of Marketing/Contact Customers With Scheduled Appointments.

want to change the color of.
·

editing letters or postcards, created the ability to put the same merge field
in the letter or postcard multiple times.

checkbox on the Part form to determine if a part earns MaxxBucks or not (on the
price tab, by the discountable checkbox).
·

not in stock when putting them on a Repair Order. Parts Order form to follow in next update.
·
ADDED -
Background color of the tech column on the schedule now changes if there is a
tech currently clocked in to the RO. If
there is not a tech assigned to the appointment or RO form, and there is a tech
clocked in on the RO, the tech column on the schedule shows "In Wrk".
·
ADDED -
Automatic A/R Finance Charge function.
This gives the ability for the user to pick the date to post finance
charges and then generate all finance charges for customers that owe
money. Anything past due as of that date will get a finance charge. Customers may be exempted from this charge on
a per customer basis by setting this property on the Customer form.
·
ADDED - CTRL +
INSERT now adds a free form labor on an RO if a reason for service is

·
ADDED - Created new utility to calculate MaxxBucks from old
RO's. The utility will calculate RO's between two dates, and it only
calculates RO's that do not have the UseMaxxBucks checkbox
already set. After calculating it sets the “Use MaxxBucks” checkbox so
the RO's will not be recalculated if the utility is run again. This utility can be run from the MaxxTraxx
Pro folder. It cannot be launched from
MaxxTraxx Pro Ce.
·
ADDED - New
toolbar button “Enter Bills” and new menu choice under "Vendors" to
create a manual Vendor invoice without having to go to the vendor record
first. This function is for entering
invoices such as utility bills, telephone bills, rent, insurance, etc. This function should not be used to enter
your part restock invoices if you are tracking inventory. If you are not tracking inventory, then you
should enter those restock parts invoices with this function
·
ADDED - New security settings for "Override No Checks
Accepted" under the service counter security group. If security is being used, the program now
prevents you from accepting a check if the customer does not have the
"Accept Checks" checkbox set if you do not have the permission to do
so.
·
ADDED - Feature to Michigan Repair Order so that the special
Technician signature line now prints.
·

Auto Parts ordering system to MaxxTraxx.

Secondary sort by Status when the schedule is sorted by Technician or Service
Writer. (Sorry it took so long
·
ADDED - New workstation setup to reduce the height of the
printed RO, reducing the size where the details print and moving the footer up
by the desired distance. There is a
"Reduce RO height by" field on the Printer Setup tab of the
Workstation setup form. On the form, you enter the setting in inches
(1.25 inches for example). When it's stored in the INI file, it's stored
as 1000th of an inch (1.25" on the form is stored as 1250 in the INI
file). The location in the local workstation INI is [LocalPrinters]
ReduceROSizeBy=1250.
A value of zero leaves the RO as a standard 11”x8.5” invoice as was
originally designed.
·
ADDED – Multi-Store Module.
You can now run multiple stores and have them communicate between each
other. Look up parts at other stores and
transfer them to your store. This feature
is security enabled.
·
IMPROVEMENT – New and
improved look and feel throughout MaxxTraxx.
Program has been modernized to look more like a Windows 7 user
interface. However, we made a concession
to the old windows look with icons on the OK and Cancel buttons. We found in testing that even though this
look is old school, most users liked it because it made for less
mistakes when saving or cancelling changes that were made.
·
IMPROVEMENT -
View on the A/P and A/R transaction lists now defaults to view all open
invoices and credits. To look for
specific date ranges etc, you now need to press the Find button.

to use the full description from InfoTraxx rather than the default description
from the Motor catalog.

menu under the Setup menu to Marketing.

Font sizes and location of printed text now change based on block label sizes
of:
- 1 3/16 x 3/4
- 2 x 1,
- 3 x 1
- 3 1/2 x 1 1/7
When the user defines a label the program decides which block size it fits in
and uses that size. You may print to
almost any sized label, but the print area will be one of the above sizes.
·
IMPROVEMENT - Number directly
below barcode only shows if there is an SKU number. If you don’t have a
SKU number, the barcode will print the equivalent of the part number instead. The Part number always prints on a separate
line.
·
IMPROVEMENT -
Put customer name in the title bar of the customer add wizard so you can see
the name from other pages of the wizard.
·
IMPROVEMENT -
TECH WORKSHEET. Moved things around for

(Fleet Unit #) from the vehicle form.
·
IMPROVEMENT -
Added year, make, model and unit # to the appointment
search results list.

"Marketing" to match the setup menu.

Technician worksheet on the RO and the JobClock so it prints the mileage on the
Repair Order instead of the one from the vehicle record.
·
IMPROVEMENT -
Vehicle History report to default to the last 60 months instead of the last 36
months.
·
IMPROVEMENT -
Short sold Sublets items on the Repair Order now show with a special icon with
red circle and line through it. These
then need to be stocked before you close the Repair Order.
·
IMPROVEMENT -
Hours assigned shown on the schedule to calculate like the appointment calendar
does. Put available appointment hours, hours left, and percentage used on the
schedule under the buttons on the left side.
·
IMPROVEMENT -
A/P Discounts are now automatically applied on the AP Pay Bills form when the
invoices show.
·
IMPROVEMENT -
A/P check stub report so it only shows payments applied to the vendor invoice
and does not show a blank line for discounts.
·
IMPROVEMENT -
Added original quantity, cost, and total to the Items on Order report from the
Parts Stocking screen, and fixed it so it shows the correct amount currently on
order or backorder.
·
IMPROVEMENT -
Added date filter to the Purchase Order Report.
·
IMPROVEMENT -
Added invoice grand total to the appointment tab of the schedule.
·
IMPROVEMENT -
Added stock on hand, quantity on order, reorder quantity, and location to the
Part Sales Detail form.
·
IMPROVEMENT -
Put "View Master Record" choices on the RO right click menu on the
Main Menu instead of a sub menu. This
saves two clicks.
·
IMPROVEMENT -
Changed "Finance Charge" text on A/R statements to "A/R Invoice
- Finance Charge" so it shows the transaction type with it.
·
IMPROVEMENT -
Removed the alpha character prefix from the reference number on A/R statements
(CH, SC, etc.). It now just shows the transaction number.
·
IMPROVEMENT -
Changed descriptions for RO's in the A/R transaction list to show "A/R
Charge On RO# 12345" or "A/R Credit On RO#
12345".
·
IMPROVEMENT -
Changed descriptions for PI's in the A/R transaction
list to show "A/R Charge On Part Invoice# 12345"
or "A/R Credit On Part Invoice# 12345".
·
IMPROVEMENT -
Double clicking on an AR transaction that is a payroll check loan repayment to
view it now requires that you have the security level to run payroll
checks. Before it would allow the viewer
to see payroll checks even if they didn’t have the authority.
·
IMPROVEMENT -
Program now warns if you try to make an AR payment that is over the customer's
credit limit. If security is on, it only allows you to post the overage
if you have permissions to adjust the customer's AR credit limit.
·
IMPROVEMENT -
Message on the cash drawer to notify the user about credit hold and not to
accept checks now blinks like the credit available text.
·
IMPROVEMENT -
Moved the printed part invoice customer address to the right 1 inch so it works
with windowed envelopes.
·
IMPROVEMENT -
Changed minimum window size on the program so it does not allow the schedule to
be resized so small that the controls begin to overlap

IMPROVEMENT - Changed credit total shown on top of the AP and AR
transaction form to show as a negative number.
·

Added notes/memo to the register report.
·
IMPROVEMENT -
Put "Engine Designation Code" on the technician worksheet.
·
IMPROVEMENT - Modified
AP View Transactions and Pay Invoices area to show invoices that this Vendor
may have charged on account as a customer when he had his vehicle worked on at
the shop. They show as Credits to the
shops AP account and can be used to pay off AP charges from that Vendor if you
want to. Basically this allows you to
pay your Vendor with work that you have performed on his vehicle and he has
charged to his account. Cool feature.
·
IMPROVEMENT -
Increased the notes field on the employee and vendor records to 2500
characters.
·
FIXED - Bug in
the printed RO checklist that was not printing all of the notes.
·
FIXED - Bug that
was not allowing you to add a new GL account. It was asking for an
account type when adding a GL account even though one was selected in the drop
down.
·
FIXED - Problem
where the program was showing a dialog box with an update URL in it instead of
going to the web site when the user did not have a valid subscription for the
Motor Labor Guide.
·
FIXED - Bug that was not resetting the green-bar effect on the
GL account and check register when the list sort order was changed.
·
FIXED - Bug that
was not printing the recommendations on mail merge letters.
·
FIXED - Bug that
was causing an item on a posted vendor invoice did not have a quantity received
to put a zero entry into the part adjustments table.
·
FIXED - Bug that
showed backordered items as "Stocked" or "Received" on the
RO "On Order" tab. Now shows them with a status of
"Backorder".
·
FIXED - Bug that
was disabling the Motor labors the second time you tried to select them from a
non-customer quote that had a vehicle selected.
·
FIXED - Bug that
was always disabling the Motor labors choice on the RO's labor button menu.
·
FIXED - bug that
was putting a value in the PartSolds Cost field for items with cores that were
assigned to an RO, and the core on the RO was marked as received. It
should not put a value in the Cost field for received cores. Putting a
value in the Cost field was causing the RO to create a COGS
and inventory disbursement for received cores when it shouldn't have.
·
FIXED - Bug that
was not displaying the profit graphic or percentage correctly when editing a
buyout.
·
FIXED - When the
Cost Multiplier from Part Matrix is used the number was added to the cost as
the markup and was not being multiplied correctly. NOTE: Happened when
manually adding buyout to RO, not from a catalog.
·
FIXED - Bug in
the AR transaction list that was showing a third party billing on an invoice
for the customer being viewed that was billed to someone else.
·
FIXED - Bug on
the AR transaction list that was not showing anything third party billed to the
customer being viewed.
·
FIXED - Bug on
vendor invoice that was not moving the button to print barcode labels when the
window was resized.
·
FIXED - Bug in the purchase order report that would not show
vendors who were not companies if you filtered by the vendor name.
·
FIXED - Bug in the Daily Summary report that would run the
report even if you pressed cancel on the filter form.
·
FIXED - Bug when reconciling a bank account that has been closed
and bringing it to a zero balance.
System will only allow you to save the zero balance, it wont allow you to post the reconciliation of zero dollars.
·
FIXED - Bug when
showing Parts on Order from the RO or Part Form, it was incorrectly including
items on an un-posted vendor invoices as received.
·
FIXED - Bug that was not showing the original estimate and
revised total correctly on the "Revisions" tab of the schedule when
you selected a new appt/invoice in the list.
·
FIXED - Bug that
was showing the status of a part on order incorrectly as "Received"
on the Parts on Order tab of the RO if the vendor invoice was not posted yet..
·
FIXED - Bug when
excluding a labor from showing in the labor history list that was not updating the
history record properly and could have caused the item to still show in the
history list after you marked it not to.
·
FIXED - Payroll
checks were showing in the AR transaction list. They should only show if
there are any loan repayments on them, and only show the amount of the loan
payment, not the total of the payroll check.
·
FIXED - Bug that
was showing the part selection list in a mode to select cores when replacing a
part on a kit.
·
FIXED - Bug that
was resizing controls improperly on the schedule when the user resized the
program.
·
FIXED - Bug in the Inventory Short Solds
report that was counting the number of parts sold instead of calculating the
total of parts that were actually sold short.
·
FIXED - We thought we had fixed this some time ago, but apparently
it was only a partial fix. Back to our old buddy the cores.
1. On Service Counter, selling a cored part in multiples causes the core
side to match the count of the part being sold. That’s good.
2. On Service Counter, returning a cored part (receiving it back from
customer) in multiples leaves the core count at 1, meaning the returnable core
count will be off. (You can, after saving the part, edit the core and change
the qty.)
3. On Parts Counter, selling a cored part in multiples leaves the core
count at one. You cannot edit.
·
FIXED - Bug that would GPF when viewing a customer from the
schedule, viewing a vehicle's recommendations, then selecting to edit or add
one.
·
FIXED - The bug was if you paid an AP vendor charge with a
credit card, then voided the payment and then deleted the payment (why would
you?) the payment transaction would then actually double the amount due. Then
it would lock the invoice from being edited saying it had already had a portion
paid. ie; manual
invoice for $50.00, pay by cc, void the payment, then delete the payment and
the invoice would show the original balance of $50 but a remaining balance of
$100.00.
·
FIXED - Bug that left the delete button enabled on lists when
viewing items that were already deleted.
·
FIXED - Bug that was not showing the credit card charges in the
credit card vendor's AP transaction list.
They were there, but just not showing.
·
FIXED - Bug that caused the area where "No Checks" is
shown on the cash drawer to flash a red rectangle when there was nothing to
show.
·
FIXED - Bug that
was showing deleted tires in the tire quote list.
·
FIXED - Employee
payroll totals report were doubling IRA contribution on report,
·
FIXED - When a
Deposit is made and the user forgot to print the deposit slip and then voided
the deposit, MaxxTraxx didn't put the checks back into list to redeposit.
·
FIXED - Bug that
was adding a part adjustment record when putting a part from a kit onto a
quote.

An options window on the part detail form when printing the barcode labels
that lets you choose to print the price on the label, and if you are printing a
label for a single part, the number of copies to print.
·

Checkbook Reconciliation Report.
·
ADDED –
Manufacturer Line code to the printed description when imported from

·
IMPROVEMENT -
Sorting of transactions in Bank Reconciliation browse. Transactions are
put into three groups: Deposits/Credits - Transactions in this group
are sorted by Type of transaction, then by date. Checks - Transactions in
this group are sorted by check number.
All other transactions - Transactions in this group are sorted
by Type of transaction, then by date.
·
FIXED –
Temporarily removed running balance from G/L Account view and Check Register
which was causing speed issues on the Account Register. This will be addressed and hopefully
re-introduced in a later version with faster results.
·
FIXED - Bug that
would sometimes show a Reason for Service and Labor twice with different parts
under them. This was extremely rare.
·
FIXED - Removed
code to close the Service Counter when opening the Parts Counter, and visa
versa. The program now allows you to have both open at the same
time. We also made Service Counter and
Parts Counter non-resizable and always maximized within the application frame.

caused the

·
ADDED -
An options window on the part detail form when printing the barcode labels
that lets you choose to print the price on the label, and if you are printing a
label for a single part, the number of copies to print.
·
ADDED - On the
cross ref form, adding a cross reference that points to an existing part in the
inventory list now changes the text on the radio button to "Cross
Application". This makes the
distinction between Cross References, which are alternative names to a single
part and Cross Applications which are completely different parts in inventory
that can be used as an alternative to the original part that was searched
for. (for
example, different brands of spark plugs that all fit the same car would be Cross
Application parts whereas different part numbers that all point to the exact
same part in the inventory list would be Cross References. Manufacturers that take an old part and give
it a new number and Supercede the old number with the
new one would be a good example of this)
·
ADDED - Put a
message that shows on the Part Browse form when they have searched for a part
number that doesn’t exist in the part list or the Cross Reference list and the
search form has become blank to tell the user they can use the backspace key or
the Clear Search button to change the search.
·
ADDED - A running balance to the GL Account Register.
·
ADDED - Added message when you change a tax rate in Accounting
Setups that warns the user that the taxes on open RO's and PI's are not affected

the tax rate.
·
ADDED - A button
on the cross reference browse form to add a new part if the part you are
looking for does not exist in the inventory list.
·
ADDED - Ability to send a vehicle a marketing letter on a
specific date as opposed to just a number of days in the future.

when you press the cross app button.
·
IMPROVEMENT -
Changed description in the Cross Reference/Application list to show the
description of the Cross Application part that was found and not the original
part that was searched for.
·
IMPROVEMENT -
Moved Cross Reference and German Sort buttons on the Parts Browse to the search
locator area and disabled them when nothing is in the locator field.
·
IMPROVEMENT -
Now checks for a part match after typing a part number into the cross reference
form. If a match is found the user is given the choice to select from the
list of matching part numbers already in inventory and add a cross application
to it, or add a cross reference.
·
IMPROVEMENT -
Cross Reference / Application list now only shows if there are records to
display.
·
IMPROVEMENT - The Nexpart and NexCat part lookup and order forms
to use a different method of calling the Microsoft Internet Explorer. This could have been causing MaxxTraxx to
close down harmlessly, but without notice on certain systems.
·
IMPROVEMENT -
Invoice email routine so it will allow you to email a cash part invoice without
an attached customer record. You can set who to send it to on the default
email form that pops up.
·
IMPROVEMENT –
Buyouts/QuickParts being added to inventory now require the part number.
·
IMPROVEMENT -
Buyouts without part numbers no longer check for duplicate part numbers being
added to the RO.
·
IMPROVEMENT -
Description on cross ref/app list to show "Cross Reference List' or
"Cross Application List" as needed.
·
IMPROVEMENT -
Window that shows parts to order from an RO so that it shows the catalog vendor
instead of the primary vendor when available.
·
IMPROVEMENT -
Part adjustments now appear in list in reverse date order.
·
FIXED - Bug that was not assigning the Product Code ID to the
record when adding a part from a
·
FIXED - Bug that was calculating Misc. Charge tax using the
entire amount for parts and labors individually before the maximum charge was
imposed. It needed to use the total of both added together after the
maximum limit was figured in.
·
FIXED – Registration and Hot News have been updated to work
better and not give false positives when registration data is garbled over the
Internet.
·
FIXED - Bringing
in a part with core charge from Wrenchead vendor, adds part to RO, asks if core
received. If answer Yes, it should add 1 to the count of returnable/used
cores. it does not, but if you delete the part
from RO, it takes one out, leaving you negative.
·
FIXED – Bug when
bringing in a new part from Wrenchead vendor, which has a core charge, adds the
part to inventory and marks it as USED, rather than REMAN.
·
FIXED – Bug that
if you're in a quote, you cannot bring both parts and labor back from a

·
FIXED – Bug not

FIXED - Bug that
when you do a search by unit number the display screen has a vehicle column but
no vehicles display.
·
FIXED – Bug in
kits that saved wrong pricing info when Default or Actual Price chosen.
If you had changed the Vehicle, when you saved it, it reverted to Default to
Saved Price instead of your original choice.
·
FIXED – Bug when
adding parts to an RO using Buyout/QuickParts with the following settings in
the Inventory Setups: Track Inventory, Add buyouts to parts list, and NO use of
Price Matrix... the parts are added to the invoice as NON discountable so that
you are unable to edit the pricing. The part is added to the inventory
list AS discountable so then you have to delete the part from the invoice and
read from inventory to allow access to the part price on the invoice.
·
FIXED - Bug that
was showing the description of "Cross Reference" for cross app parts
in the cross ref list on the part form.
·
FIXED - Cross
Reference button on the part browse so it shows a message window if there are
no cross ref parts for the part number instead of going to an empty cross ref
list.
·
FIXED - Physical
Inventory module now checks for multiple users accessing it at the same
time. This wasn’t being checked before
and would allow the inventory to be posted more than once.

then added a new vendor invoice and saved it without posting it. (found
from a GPF report from Jimmy's)

the number that will be printed).
·
ADDED - Print
Barcode Labels button to the vendor invoice header form that will print barcode
labels for all parts on the vendor invoice. Each part is printed the
amount of times in the quantity received field.
·
IMPROVEMENT -
When searching for a part, the program now opens the cross reference search
window if you type in a part number that is not found.
·
IMPROVEMENT -
Part form and Part Add Wizard now require a unique (non-duplicate) SKU number
for the part. SKU’s do not have to be
used.

setups.
·

MaxxTraxx Pro CE 4.4.9.0 - 02/19/09
·
ADDED - Choice to the Utilities menu in MaxxTraxx to send the
shop data to Scott Systems for diagnosis. This backs up their database,
zips it, and FTP’s it to the Scott Systems’ customer support staff.
·
IMPROVEMENT -
Removed the customer number and password field from the Backup setup form. It is no longer necessary as MaxxTraxx
generates the login and password information internally.
·
IMPROVEMENT - Added Schedule and Customer records to the export
the 3rd Party Marketing Export function. This gives more information to companies like
CustomerLink, Mechanic.Net and OnStation to work with for their customer
follow-up mailers.
·
FIXED - Bug that attached a kit created from an RO to the RO it
was being created from which made it appear on the RO twice. Just like a new if you had chosen to add the
new kit to the RO. Unnoticed, this would
have caused the shop to sell the same services twice.
·
FIXED - Modified MaxxTraxx Pro so that it uses a unique configuration
file for each workstation. This was only
a problem in multi-store operations where a Microsoft Terminal Server was being
used. Before it would cause printer
settings on each workstation to override each other.
·
FIXED - Bug that was not printing a negative sign on discounts
in the totals area of a printed RO. This
was a print problem only and it did not effect the
totals on the Repair Order.
·

MaxxTraxx Pro CE 4.4.7.0 - 02/12/09
·
IMPROVEMENT - Part form for parts on menu priced labors so the
discount percentage field calculates but is not editable.
·
IMPROVEMENT - QuickBooks export now checks for out of balance
transactions before creating the export file and displays a window showing the
out of balance transactions if there are any. The export file is not
created if there are any out of balance transactions. An error log named
"EXPORT_ERROR" followed by the date and time is created which shows
the out of balance transactions followed by a dump of all items selected to be
exported showing the disbursement amount. The dump exports all selected
items, out of balance or not so you can see exactly what the user chose. If the QuickBooks export has an error and
does not export properly, the batch number, date, time, and Re-Exported fields
of the items that were selected for export are now restored to their previous
values. Prior to this they would still show the new batch number info
even though they did not get exported properly.
·
IMPROVEMENT – Program so that that it uses a configuration INI
file of the local computer workstation name in the MaxxTraxx program directory
instead of the “Mxtrxpro.ini” file in the local Windows directory. When
the program starts and does not find a local INI file for the computer name, it
renames and copies the “Mxtrxpro.ini” file from the Windows directory to the
MaxxTraxx directory if it exists. This
is so that when MaxxTraxx runs in a Terminal Server environment, each
workstation will get its own printer, screen position and miscellaneous
configuration settings. Before, the
workstations were set to the same settings due to the Terminal Server’s
inability to differentiate between workstations.
·
FIXED - Bug that was not calculating the discount on the part
form for parts on a menu priced labor.

in the parts record without taking into account the parts that were currently
on order. Now it looks at all open Parts Orders and Vendor Invoices to
calculate the new reorder quantity.

adjustment to the printed RO to try and fix the problem where it overprints
onto the totals area instead of printing the totals on another page.
·
FIXED –
Intermittent Part invoice sales tax bug.
·
FIXED - Put code
in the TimeClock clock-out form to make sure it uses the last clock in record
available. The query before this would find the first record in the table
that did not have a clock out date/time and use it, which if there was a record
like that on a previous day for some reason, it would use that one and clock
you out of the wrong record. This could cause a record where the clock in
and out date would be different.
·
FIXED -
Receiving Non-Invoiced cash in by other than cash (credit card, check) treats
it like cash. That is, in Make a Deposit, it adds to the Cash Available
for Deposit, rather than to the Credit Cards or Checks. Also, it didn’t
show up in the Daily Sales area as affecting cash, and was not displayed in the
Daily Cash Drawer Financial Summary report on page 2 or 3.
·

·
ADDED – A
Warning Notice when starting the Physical Inventory process that states that
all pages that will be counted need to be counted and posted to the physical
inventory before restocking, selling or manually adjusting of any parts. In other words. You can do no business after you have printed
the Physical Inventory Sheets until you have finished posting the new Stock on
Hand quantities. Failure to follow this
procedure will invalidate your inventory counts.

be voided.
·

·
ADDED - Radio
Code and Miscellaneous fields to the vehicle table and form.
·
IMPROVEMENT -
Canceling in the middle of paying an Repair Order or
Parts Invoice payment that has been paid with a credit card now voids the
credit card transactions at the gateway instead of issuing a credit for to the
customer. By doing it this way, the
customer never sees the transaction on their account statement.
·
IMPROVEMENT -
The original transaction date is now used when voiding an RO with a credit card
payment and adding a deposit on account to the customer's account.
·
IMPROVEMENT -
Email setup to allow username and/or password without the SSL checkbox set.

the cash drawer trans window that always showed the
leading '******' that is only suppose to show when there is a credit card
number to display.
·
FIXED - Double
click on an empty A/P or A/R transaction list brings up a general journal edit
form. It should not show any form.
·
FIXED – Deposit and
Credits on account to a customer who is also a vendor couldn’t be used
properly. For instance a credit to a
customer that is also a vendor couldn’t be used to pay off the amount of money
that you owed the vendor. Now it
can.
·

vehicle from the list of vehicles for that customer.
·
FIXED - Bug that
was not encrypting and decrypting the email password correctly which caused the
email authentication to fail. NOTE: The email password
needs to be reentered on the Email Setup form and saved before you will be able
to successfully send email.

field in credit card setup to define the sale message that prints on the bottom
of the deposit on account receipts.
·
ADDED - Put a
window in for messages from the Credit Card Gateway to tell that the charge is
a duplicate charge to the same customer on the same day. The message
window notifies the user and gives them a chance to override the duplicate and
charge anyway. If they choose to override it, the current time value is
appended to the invoice number and passed to the gateway as the new merchant
number which avoids the duplicate error. They can also choose to not
charge them again and return to the payment form.

for the AR refund function and RO payment function to refund to a credit card
without having an order and trans ID from a previous credit card charge
(Wildcard refunds – this means you can refund to a customer card without them
having ever charged to that card before or had charged it a long time ago).
·
ADDED - Wildcard
credit card refunds require a manager’s override.
·
ADDED - Modified
credit card processing so it looks for an invalid swipe before sending the data
to the gateway and shows an error message telling the user to try again.
·
ADDED - Put F9
logout on the cash drawer form so managers can logout after overriding to allow
a credit card refund.
·
ADDED - Credit
card payment information now goes to the AR receipt.
·

Quickbooks.

cost of warranty items when calculating the profit and profit percentage

checkboxes when determining if they should be taxable or not.
·
FIXED - Bug
that would not print the fourth line of the address on a check.
·
FIXED - If
quotes exist for vehicle, and you open a Paid RO, you could click on Quotes
button and actually add the quote times to the paid and closed RO.
Subtotals were changed on the RO but not the total or payment amount. Now you can’t do that.
·
FIXED - Setup a
vendor for payment due date and discounts didn’t work correctly. If you
set “Day of Month Payment is due to (10) and Cutoff Day for next month due date
(31). Then you went to that vendor’s options and created an
invoice. It worked fine at first, but then if you changed the invoice date
backwards a month or two it messed up the due date. It seemed to work
when you set it forward. Also, if you created a vendor restock invoice,
it didn’t seem to work at all.
·
FIXED - Bug in
the Excess Inventory report that caused the location filter to be ignored, and
the size filter work as the location filter.
·
FIXED - Bug on
the printed RO that was showing a sub total for Towing that was a duplicate of
