announcement It's beginning to look a lot like... exciting! 

Yes there is a package coming to you.  A physical package containing a small thank you gift for being a Coreware customer.   Most of you probably received a notice in your email, for that we apologize, being inexperienced shippers we didn't click the do not notify button - way for us to ruin the surprise 😜. We will at least surprise you by not tell you up front what's coming.

At least you will have a fun reason to check your mail in the  next few days.  it's going by snail mail so we have no idea how long it will take to reach you, but we hope you enjoy our small token of appreciation.

improvement Customer Facing Display Improvements

Several improvements have been made to the customer facing display.  You can see the changes by looking at the store configuration.  There is a new section that you can jump to called Customer Facing Display.

You can now do the following:

- Set the background color
- Set the background color of the logo
- Specify whether to show the customer's name
- Choose whether to show the customer's email address and phone number
- Specify whether to show customer loyalty point
- Choose whether to show the customer's account balance

We just published a video on our Youtube channel, please make sure you subscribe to our channel for lots of tips and training videos.

new feature Remove Checks from Register

You can now remove checks from the register during the day.

Deliveries

new feature Order Notes!

Easily add notes to delivery orders.  You can do it from the main screen where the deliveries are listed or you can also add notes when working on an order.

new feature Mark Items as Drop Shipped

When creating a shipment you can now indicate that the items were drop shipped which will not update your local inventory.

new feature New Tax Report

A new sales tax report was developed thanks to Maxon Shooting Sports who sponsored this new feature. There are times that customers ask for features and we don't feel those features would necessarily benefit everyone, so we either delay the feature request or simply do not add it to our to do list. In these situations we do give the customer a choice to pay to have the feature developed. We normally develop about 90% of the requests that we receive at no additional charges.

The new tax report will show the sales tax report driven by the payments made.  The system will calculate the effective tax rate on the transactions and will proportionally show the tax due based on the payments made on the transactions.

improvement Margin Calculation

In the PO/Receiving Screen, the Margin field was actually reflecting the mark-up rather than the margin.  This has been updated to properly show margin.

new feature Application Refresh

There is now a configuration option that allows you to specify how often to refresh the screen if there has been no activity.  This setting is based on minutes. You will find this setting under Application Settings section.

new feature Bound Book Waiting Time

Another thank you to Maxon Shooting for sponsoring this feature.  A new configuration option has been added under the Bound Book section - Waiting Period (in hours).  This option when set will prevent a salesperson from mistakenly completing a sale transaction prior to the period of time passing.  There is a new security setting that allows specific employees to be authorized to overwrite this option in the event the purchaser of the firearm is not required to wait. This option of course varies by state and does not apply to many states.
