Was CoreSTORE Taking a Siesta?

It's been 2 weeks since our last update which is not normally our nature. To celebrate our return we decided the double the content, so grab some coreFFEINE and read away, don't forget - click the READ MORE button, because there is ALWAYS more to read.  Let's get down to business.  

Need more coreFFEINE? Just ask us in the comments and we will send you another bag for free (A FRESH ONE), PLEASE identify yourself, unless you are subscribed to this feed we have NO IDEA who you are.  So in general when you make a comment please let us know your name and what company you own/work for.



Items

There is a store configuration setting in the Sales section:

Do NOT Allow Items to be Sold Below Cost? 

When this option is set, you cannot sell an item below cost, which is a good thing...most of the time.  We added a  new option in the items screen that will allow you to override this option for specific items.  You will find this option in the Pricing Tab of the items screen, this option will ONLY be displayed if the store configuration option is checked.


Sales

improvement When deleting a sale transaction (obviously you want to avoid doing this but there are times this is necessary, the system will now prompt you and ask if you want to refund the credit card transaction in the event the transaction was paid with a credit card.

new feature Added a new security option that specifies whether the employee has the security right to edit the sale/payment date.


Deliveries

improvement When manually importing orders from your web site, you can now import a range of orders by using a dash to separate the starting order number and ending order number:



Work Orders

improvement Work order printout will now include the Estimated Date, Estimated Labor and Estimated Parts.

new feature Work Order Status Update

We added two fields to the work order status screen:

  • Send to Supplier
  • Receive from Supplier

For our FFL users, these two fields will be used in a very near future update to automatically dispose a firearm that is being repaired and needs to be sent back to the manufacturer or to another FFL for repair and/or improvement.  This will also be used to automatically acquire the firearm that is being returned by the supplier/manufacturer.


Customer Facing Display - We've Gone Vertical!



improvement We (and by we, I mean "I") have been obsessing over the customer display because it's so important for your customers to have the best experience.  After a wonderful visit with our friends at Mad Dog Armory we realized that the vertical orientated customer display would be so much better, so we fixed up some things and made sure that if you rotate your customer display everything just falls into place beautifully.   By turning it vertically you can see more items on the screen and in one of our upcoming updates you will be able to show banners at the bottom of the screen.

improvement No matter what orientation you are (vertical, horizontal or non oriented), we have increased the font sizes of the items section so your customers can easily read the display.

improvement The logo will now be displayed in a correct size.

Miscellaneous Improvements

improvement Added the register id to the locations screen which is helpful when setting up the mobile app on a tablet to act as a customer facing display.  Stay tuned for our updated mobile app.

General Fixes

fix Fixed some pricing issues when Price is % of Subtotal, Price is % of Previous Item were set to 0 (it will now treat them the same as if they were not set).

fix Fixed some issues with integration into coreFORCE.

fix Change Due field at times was not showing the correct amount.

fix Events/Classes from coreFORCE were being taxed even when the tax flag was turned off for events.  This has now been fixed.

fix On the sales screen when starting a new work order, the first item price is set to 0 - this is correct. HOWEVER, EVERY item entered after that was changing the price to 0 which was not correct. 

fix Fixed the Consigment Report to properly align the fields when outputting the report to PDF.

fix When cancelling out of editing a sale transaction, the subsequent sale transaction would result in the register id being blank which affected daily reporting, this issue has been fixed.

fix Fixed an issue when processing cards using the IDTech VP8300 and IDTECH VP3300 which was causing a secondary call to be made to the gateway.


Things That Make You Go - HMMMMM

Category Screen - Specify Attributes

You will now see in the Category screen a new field called Attributes, and you can actually enter a list of attributes to be associated with a category.  What purpose you may ask - well, we will reveal this in one of our next updates.  


Boundbook, 4473 and 3310

improvement Modified code for enabling/disabling Section D/E buttons to take into account an edge case where the D button could be enabled while the E button was disabled even if the customer signed Section B that same day (original code was getting the number of days between today and the creation date of the 4473; it should have looked at the certification date instead, which *could* be a different date than the 4473 creation (although rare)).

improvement Force regeneration of PDF when Section D or Section E signature is provided/changed (if necessary).

FIX Fixed bug where entering values in Q28 or Q29 of Section C was bringing up dialog requiring data to be input for Q27; this no longer happens and Section C is saved properly.

FIX Q19 was not showing the "Other Countries" on the PDF if the person was a citizen of multiple countries including the US.

FIX License information was not pushing back to the connected boundbook records if the license type was 'State ID' (it was only pushing back if the type was 'Driver's License'); it now pushes back State IDs.

FIX Section B/Q19 was not clearing out the "Other Countries" field in the DB if you set Other Country Citizenship to "NO" and submitted Section B.

FIX Changing the Place of Birth toggle and submitting Section B was not clearing out the City/State (if Country was picked) or Country popup (if City/State was entered).   

fix Fixed bug where Last Modified was not being set when Section D was being saved.

fix Fixed bug where the number in the green circle displayed in the Manage 4473 list was showing the number of boundbook records *on* the 4473s, not the number of 4473s themselves. 

4473 Kiosk

improvement Added detection and alert dialog on mobile/tablet if the browser is not Chrome 

3310 - Multi Firearm Form 

new feature 3310 alerts generated that include firearms from other 3310 records with automatically set the 'multiple sale' flag and enter the date for the multiple sale when the 3310 form is displayed.    

new feature The system now flags 3310 PDFs sent by email so we can know if a 3310 was just printed as a PDF or if it was emailed to the ATF (will be used for future interface for managing 3310s)

improvement Added date/time recording of the emailing of a 3310, we were only tracking the date before and not the time.

improvement Streamlined/centralized 3310 generation.

fix Fixed issue where using the back button in the browser would at times display information from a previous entry.

fix Disposing of multiple boundbook records at once was not always creating a 3310 alert.

fix Disposing of more than 2 individual boundbook records would create multiple 3310 alerts. 

fix Logic for 3310 alerts did not take into account other boundbook records on 3310 records that still fell within the 5 day range.
