It's hard to believe that we are past mid February and nearing March.  Today's update has some good nuggets that hopefully will help everyone out.  We made a lot of progress in improving our delivery and pickup screen which will help all of you that are processing internet orders.   As always we appreciate all the feedback we are receiving from everyone.  We have a few things in the works that will be popping up in March which will be extremely exciting, so stay tuned! In the meantime, grab a cup of mojo and read on.

NOTES & MORE NOTES

new feature You already could enter line item notes and order comments, well we added the ability to add order notes.  Notes can be added directly from the sale screen, the suspended sales screen and the delivery & pickup screen (both the front screen and detailed one).  

Notes can be marked as Internal only so they will not print on the receipt.  Notes are dated, time stamped and the system will clearly display who entered those notes.  Just tap that little notes icon and start typing away.  

coreFORCE users will be happy to know that we import all the notes that are on an existing internet order.

DELIVERIES & PICKUPS

new featureIf the order is an internet order it will clearly show in the details screen for the order and you can click on the internet order number to pull up the order on your web site.   This is a fantastic time saver if you need to research or look into the details of the internet order.

RECEIPTS

improvement The internet order number will now print below the sale id for any orders that were imported from your web site.

fix Fixed a few issues related to printing logos on receipts.

REPORTS

improvement Sales summary now includes a checkbox to include subcategories in the report.

LABEL PRINTING

improvement New Label Replacement Fields

Added new replacement fields to print the value of any item attribute.  The format would be:

{ATTRIBUTENAME:item_attribute_value}

You would replace ATTRIBUTENAME with the actual attribute name.  For example if you had an attribute defined called color then you would simply enter:

{COLOR:item_attribute_value}

fix When editing labels and making multiple changes at a time, if you don't hit "Save" each time (which adds unnecessary steps/time), it won't save and then the user can accidentally click somewhere outside of the box resulting in losing all of the changes that were just made. You are welcome Rachael 😜.

Miscellaneous

improvement coreFORCE inventory bulk sync (from the store config) will mimic what is synced to the website when saving the item in the items screen.

improvement Field titles updated on the suspended sales screen.

improvement Merging customers will merge their store account balance (it will add the balances together to create a new balance).

improvement The items screen will now display the hidden system items like shipping fees.  This will allow the user to easily change fields on this item (for example making shipping a taxable item)

fix Delivery screen will now properly show the company name in the ship to information.

Bound Book & 4473  Updates

new feature 4473 Kiosk - Prevent spacebar from being entered when pulling up a 4473 using keyboard entry rather than a scanner.  A scanner at the kiosk is still the best and quickest way to pull up the 4473.

new feature 4473 Kiosk - Improved Signature Capture Options

Added ability to switch between available signature input methods on the fly through a dropdown control on Section B (to support kiosks where sig input device may fail so the customer can use 'touchscreen' instead).  

improvement 4473 Kiosk - You can hit Enter to trigger Continue button 

fix Duplicate customer records will no longer be created if the 4473 originated as a sale.

fix A new layaway will no longer create a pending disposition.

fix Pickup orders will no longer dispose to the store, they will properly dispose to the individual.

fix 4473 Kiosk - Fixed bug where if you tried to save Section B without a Race checked, after getting the error dialog picking a race and trying to save would bring up the same error dialog. 

fix 4473 Kiosk - Fixed situation where a customer entered an email address in the kiosk that was different from the email address captured at the sale which causing a duplicate Customer record to be created.              

fix 3310 Fixed bug where the 'check for multi-gun alerts on disposition' was calculating the '5 day' date range based on the assumption that the disposition date is always 'today'; it now calculates based on the actual date of disposition entered into the Boundbook record.        ⁃    

fix Fixed bug where 'Transfer Date' column in PDF was not matching the same column when viewed in the 3310 entry screen    

fix The "License State" field was not auto-populating in the Bound Book Acquisition page when firearms are entered as a Trade-In.
