Success Software purchase price now includes:
In
addition to those components being included in the price, Utilities...: Added a new backup option "Year End / Start Up Backup" which will create a backup of just consignors having inventory on hand, along with the Buyer and Wish List records. As part of this feature an additional backup is made of all databases should there be an emergency need to restore the data just prior to the "Year End / Start Up Backup" The location of each backup can be user defined for saving multiple storage files. Consignors / Edit...: Added "Settlement Deduction Fee" with both "Amount" and "Percent" fields available for user entries to effect the Settlement total. Settlements
/ New...: When "Settlement Deduction Fee"
(SDF) is defined
for the selected consignor, it will be set as default value in
"Deductions". If SDF is defined as a percentage, the deduction amount
will be calculated from total amount for settlement, and will be
auto-recalculated when sales are unselected or selected for settlements.
Note that when "Balance Adjustment" has been set for the
consignor, it will take precedence over the settlement deduction fee (as
both can't be calculated at the same time; the balance adjustment will be
cleared after it's included in the settlement). Note that settlement % is
calculated as percentage of "settled amount", not as a
percentage of "sales value". Batch
Settlements...: Added checkbox "Apply settlement deduction
fees" (checked by default) and "Deduct" column. Amount of
the
deduction is auto-calculated depending on settings in the consignor record
(only if "Apply..." has been checked), using the same rules as
above (when individual settlement is created). Inventory
Reports...: Added saving and restoring of report margins (Top, Bottom,
Left, Right in the print/preview dialog) for all reports on
"Labels" and "Bar Code" pages. Margins are saved in
the .ini file (Consign.ini or Best.ini) with other configuration settings,
.ini file is updated if any margins are changed from the print/preview
dialog (regardless if report has been printed or not); Item Categories / Add/Edit...: Increased number of data/detail fields to 4 in Consignment Success and to 2 in Best Consignment. Inventory / New...: Corresponding to the Item Categories, added more detail fields on the inventory records. Inventory Reports...: Corresponding to the additional detail lines/fields various reports will include those fields, however, due to lengths, some reports may truncate excessive details. Buyers /
Reports...: Added "List Report" and "Detailed List"
report, to print list with basic buyer information (ID, name, credit,
discount, dates), and list with additional address and telephone numbers
(similar to reports in Consignors). Buyers /
New/Edit...: Added "Status flag" field, with drop-down selection
initialized from BuyerStatus.lst (file structure is the same as for
CustStatus.lst as used in consignors screen). Support for the new status flag
has also been added to Buyers / Find and Buyer Reports. Inventory Reports/ POS...: Added new tag "(4''x1'', fan-fold)", with custom layout, prints 6 lines * 40 characters (max), with item # and price on the left side, and item #, price, description and item details on the right (larger) side. Setup /
Printing...: Added "Printer type (POS tags)" (on the right part,
below the margins) with "Epson", "IBM" and
"Zebra/Eltron" options. Printers set here will be used as
default when printing inventory POS tags (which can be also changed from
the POS print dialog). Wish List...: Add/Edit...: Fixed problem with not allowing a change on the "Category" field. Consignors / Find...: Added the following filtering options to "Find": Open on from/to (account creation date) and Close on from/to (account closing date). Invoice...: Added the ability to show tax description/name (as defined in Setup) for both taxes (in summary area, before the tax %). Utilities / Compact Databases...: Added "Settlements" checkbox to compact the settlements database, fixed checkbox text for Consignors and Inventory. Internet /
E-Mail Inventory Lists...: Added new option to allow sending e-mails
to all selected consignors, with the list of their consigned inventory
(similar to the "E-Mail Consignor Settlements" option). E-mails
will be sent in plain text format, with "Item #", "Date
In", "Description", "Price" and "Qty"
columns. Default e-mail subject and message header may be changed, and
program will insert registered user information (store name and address)
at the beginning on the message. This option is available in Consign only. Consignor /
Reports...: Added new report "Cons. Inventory List" that will
show detailed report for all consignors (with each consignor on a new
page), with the list of available inventory. Consignor address will be
shown in a box in upper-left of the report, to be window envelope-ready Consignor / Reports...: Added "Number of items" (below the "Balance range") to allow for additional filtering of consignors on the number of items on hand. This is mostly to be used with the new report "Cons. Inventory List" and to filter only consignors with inventory on hand (e.g. enter "1" as the starting range, ending range can be left as 0). Consignors /
Find...: Added "Track Date" to the find criteria. Inventory Reports...: Added a new Bar Code report "Bar Code w/Discounts" (to both Best and Consign), it is the same size as "Discounts, large (2*5)" report, but with the store logo and added bar-code removed. Report dialog (Print/Preview)...: Modified edit components, for all labels/tag reports changed "Page margins" edit boxes to accept larger values, and changed margins increment to 0.05''. |
