Happy New Year Everyone. We are excited that a new year is upon us and our goal is to keep improving, fixing, enhancing our software offerings, and again many of our changes are driven by customer requests. Special shout out to Jeff Botelho with MTS who provided us with some great requests and suggestions. He is the winner of the first 2021 $100 Amazon Coreware Gift Card!
Our goal is to always make your lives easier with every update that we make. So this is the first update of the year and we hope you are as excited as we are.
We have big improvements planned for 2021 with a lot of exciting updates so please make sure to pay attention to What's New! And you can even subscribe to our What's New feed so it will get delivered right to your inbox. We really appreciate all the comments that you post we don't always know who made the post but we really appreciate the feedback.
Deliveries
Did you know that you can print shipping labels directly out of coreSTORE? Sign up to www.easypost.com and enter your API information in the Store Config. We have a video that walks you through deliveries that you can watch.
new feature Void/Refund a Shipping Label
You can now void/refund a shipping label directly from coreSTORE (no need to visit Easypost to do it).
new feature Support for HAZMAT & Other Shipping Conditions
We've added some features to our shipping label production:
- Ability to add handling instructions
- Flag the shipment for "Additional Handling"
- Flag the shipment to hold for pickup
- Support for shipping HAZMAT (Hazardous Materials)
- Flag the shipment if it contains Alcohol (it's a good thing to sell these days, it's ESSENTIAL!)
Items Screen
new feature Search Subcategories
A great suggestion from our friends at Centennial Gun Club. On the items screen when you search by category you can now include all the subcategories under that category. By checking the subcategory box your results will include all items that belong directly to that category or any item that is in a subcategory related to that category (whether it's a child, grandchild or great-grandchild).
improvement Added Fields to Item Import
Added additional field support to the item import including the consignment fields, fee pricing fields and rental fields.
Reports
improvement Payment Detail Report
The Payment Detail Report will now include the authorization code, card type (if available), and gateway transaction id which will help all of you with daily reconciliation.
Labels
new feature Replacement Formula
This is for those of you who are courageous enough to venture into the land of ZPL programming and have worked hard to customize your labels. Those of you who have no idea what I'm referring to, just submit a support ticket if you'd like us to customize your labels.
Added support for using a Replacement formula:
{replacementfield,REPLACE,1,USED,NEW} In the example above the replacement field would be replaced with the word "USED" if the value of the replacement field is 1 or with "NEW" if it's not.
improvement Detailed Receiving Report
The Detailed Receiving report now includes the item's UPC and Item id (part number).
Bound Book
We know you may not sell guns so skip this section if you don't. Shout out to Jeff
new feature Barrel & Finish
You can now maintain the barrel and finish in the bound book. If you set these up as facets in your items screen (under the Attributes tab), then these fields will flow from your item to the bound book.
The barrel and finish can also be included on the bound book report if your state or picky but super nice and helpful atf agent wants to see those on the report.
new feature Custom Fields Enhancement
The bound book custom fields can now be included in the grid on the main bound book screen, and will also be exported when you choose to export the bound book (using the ... menu)
new feature Capture Images Directly
Click the camera icon on the Acquisition or Disposition File Section to capture an image directly using your webcam and/or tablet/smartphone camera.
improvement Serial Numbers by Location
We have taken the first steps in tracking serial numbers by location within the inventory module. Obviously we already do this in the bound book itself. This means that when you select a serial number from the drop down list it will only show the serial numbers available at the location you are in (you really shouldn't use the lookup, this is why scanners were invented, "ALWAYS scan when you can" famous quote by ejw).
fix There was an issue with printing checks via Checkeeper. Wait, you didn't know you can create checks using coreSTORE? And you can choose to print the check or have it printed and mailed for you (for $1.25 which includes postage). Check out Checkeeper at www.checkeeper.com! When you sign up you will be issued an API key that you can enter into the Store Configuration and VIOLA, you can now produce a check to a supplier directly from the supplier screen.
