Enough about taxes, let's talk about what's new and exciting with Corestore.
BOSS-TAB 4473 KIOSK SETUP
In our previous announcement, we were asked about the setup we had of the 4473 tablets using the Boss-Tab enclosure. This was in fact an IPad Air (latest Generation 3 but minimum specs) and with it we purchased a Bluetooth keyboard from Amazon along with styluses that had a lanyard.

We also installed a kiosk app from the IOS app store to prevent customers from just browsing around or using the iPad for other purposes:

Work Order Enhancements
If you haven't noticed already we have been making many changes to the Work Order module. Work orders can be used by any store that offers repairs, custom options, assembly, or specialized work on items. In the firearm business, many stores have gunsmith services and this is where the work order module comes into play. If you don't see the module listed on the left side menu then make sure you have access to that module by going to Employees and checking off the work order module security options.
Thanks to some great feedback from all of YOU, we have had awesome feedback, and here are the highlights of what has been changed.
exciting! We cleaned up the work order screen and made it not only look better but work better.
1. You can now modify and add your status codes
2. You can now assign a technician to a work order and also change that technician.
3. You can change the price of the part and/or labor
4. You can have up to 10 custom fields on a work order. To manage your custom fields on the previous screen where the work orders are listed just click the ... menu.
Work Order Dashboard Enhancements
improvement You can now show work orders for a specific technician (just hit the technician drop down) and then click Search.
improvement We now show you the item that is being repaired, which is helpful if one customer has multiple items in the shop.
improvement Manage your own status, add any status code or modify the existing ones, you can also choose your own colors.
Deliveries and Shipments Screen
improvement You can import individual orders from the web and you can also import multiple orders at once by separating them with commas.
improvement Clicking the Sale Id will unsuspend the sale and take you right into the sales screen directly if you prefer completing the order from the sales screen.
Bound Book Enhancements
exciting! Updated NICS check plug-in with improvements and some fixes. You can now download the new plug-in directly from the Manage 4473 screen. To install the new plug-in remove the current one, if you need assistance please contact our support department.
Coreshop ECommerce Users
improvement We added a field called: "Do not drop ship" to the items screen which allows you to have an item and mark it that it can't be drop-shipped but it will still show on the web site that it's available for pickup only.
improvement The company name is now imported into the shipping address of an internet order.
Bug Fixes
Bugs are our friends, If there weren't bugs we wouldn't need as many programmers 😁:
fix Suspending a purchase order a second time was converting it to a receiving transaction, this will no longer happen.
fix Importing bound book records will no longer add duplicate entries if the id (first column of the template) field is an id that already exists in the system.
fix Fixed some issues when a work order was being completed it was showing an error on the serial number
fix When Store Config has "Disable Sale Quick Complete" checked, it was not allowing you to complete a Return.
fix Removed Enhanced Search option in Store Config, it was causing more harm than good.
fix For Ammoready users we now properly transmit the manufacturer as the brand of the item.
fix 3310 alerts were not being generated at times.
fix Logged in employee name not automatically being added to form -
fix Transfer date for firearms was not appearing on PDF output if no associated 4473
