Please read through the entire announcement.  Lots of exciting updates and just in time for Christmas 😀!  Ignore any typos, grammatical errors, or unfinished sentences, it's 3AM and I'm just too tired to proof read this.

SALES & REPORTS

new feature Suspended Sales Major Enhancement exciting! 

For each different suspended sale transaction you can now set how it behaves on a granular level. This will definitely affect your reports so make sure to go to Store Config and jump to the Suspended Sales section to set your suspended sales the way that fits your business.   

For each sale type you can specify:

Update Inventory - How would you like inventory to be updated when suspending the transaction.  You can choose to ignore, deduct or commit.  Commit does not touch your current on hand, instead it adds the quantity to the committed bucket.  The inventory that is available to sell is calculated by taking the on hand less what's committed.

Treat as Sale - When this option is selected the transaction will appear in sales reports as soon as it's suspended.  If you don't want to show the transaction in the sales reports make sure you don't check the box.

Change Sale Date when Suspending - When this option is checked then each time you suspend the transaction the sale date will be changed to the date you suspended the transaction.

Change Sale Date on Completion - When you check this option the date of the sale will change when you complete the transaction.  So if you want to recognize the sale on the date it completes, make sure to check this box.  Otherwise the date of the sale will be the date the transaction was suspended.

Hide In Reports - Checking this box will hide the suspended transaction from any sales reports. Make sure to check this box if you want to hide the transaction from the sales reports while it's suspended.

Minimum Deposit - If you want to collect a minimum deposit amount then specify the % deposit required for this specific suspended transaction type.

Require Customer - Check this box if a customer must be selected in order to suspend the transaction.

new feature Text Messaging (SMS) exciting! 

This is the first phase of building in SMS support throughout coreSTORE.  You will have to sign up for an account with Twilio.  Once you have an account with them make sure to go to your Locations screen to fill out the 3 required fields.

Once you have your account settings, in the sales screen you will see an option to SMS the sales receipt.  

There is also a store configuration option that lets you specify whether you want to automatically send the sales receipt via SMS message:

You can also send an SMS message to 1 or more customers at once, directly from the customers screen:

new feature Sales Transaction Log

Added a log to track the history of a sales transaction.  The log will help see the history of a transaction.  You can view the log on the sales receipt screen.

When you click the log button you will see a full history of the transaction.  In the example below, I started with an estimate and then completed the transaction.

improvement Payment Report Improvement

You can now choose multiple payment types to report on.  

improvement Serial Numbers Updated when Deleting a Receiving Transaction

When deleting a receiving transaction that has serial numbers, the serial numbers will be deleted from the inventory screen as well.

fix On the items screen when changing multiple items at once from ECommerce to Non ECommerce or vice versa the web site will be updated accordingly.

fix Fixed catalog lookup bug when entering a search on the items screen it was kicking back to the dashboard when clicking on the magnifying glass.

fix Fixed issues with Easypost and the delivery screen.  Did you know you can print shipping labels right in coreSTORE (if you are using Shipstation or something else, just ask yourself why?).

🎉🎉🎉If you don't sell firearms you are free to leave!!🎉🎉🎉

Bound Book

new feature When acquiring and disposing a firearm directly from the bound book the system will ask you if you want to update inventory.  This gives you the opportunity to receive firearms without affecting your inventory directly in the bound book.  You can also dispose the firearm without affecting your local inventory.

When responding Yes, coreSTORE will update the quantity in inventory and also create a proper audit trail in the Inventory tab of the item screen.

improvement Clicking image icons in Section C will show full-sized versions of the image; clicking close box now deletes image 1

improvement Changed cited USC code for multiple rifle alerts, 4-state limitation on 3310.12s, manual disposition not recognizing bound books marked as 'use for work orders' 

improvement Changed 'days open for business' in Store Config to have individual day checkboxes so that the 5 day 3310 multiple handgun alert will generate properly for stores that are not open on all weekdays.  

improvement Added info to bottom of form letting user know about where their email is sent. 

improvement Added instructional text on Locations page to indicate the purpose of the Agency Emails and how the 3310 emails are sent.

improvement  Subtracted 1 day from 3310 alert check (it was not including the current sale day)
