Month: July 2014

RMS Version 7.60R and 8.00C Program Changes on the July 2014 Update

The monthly update disc you receive from BSMGR for RMS contains a current copy of the Christian Books & More ^® database, new images, music samples and program changes. You should run IVDC after installing your update to make prices changes to your store’s inventory items. When that program completes, you can use IVL to print labels with the new prices. For your convenience, the RMS program changes on this update are listed below.

As a reminder, each month’s update disc also includes a folder titled “Manual” that contains the current RMS manual. The file is in Microsoft Word format, and there is a free Word viewer program in the folder in case you don’t have a copy of Microsoft Word installed on your computer.

The following changes are for 7.60R and 8.00C

FTP:

RETRY WAS LOSING DIRECTION.

SCHEDULE:

REMOVED DEBUG LINE.

The following changes are for 8.00C only

CALLMENU:

FIXED TYPO IN MENU.

CBMPAGE:

VENDOR LOOKUP SCREEN ON WIDE SCREENS. ON WIDE SCREEN RESOLUTIONS (SUCH AS 1366X768), THE VENDOR LOOKUP SCREEN WAS DIFFICULT TO READ DUE TO OVERLAPPING TEXT COLUMNS.

CHECKEOI:

ADDED SUPPORT FOR MULTI-STORE. IN A MULTI-STORE SETUP, THERE IS A COMBO BOX TO SELECT THE IVM FILE YOU WANT TO SEE COMPARED AGAINST THE EOI BEST SELLERS. WHEN THE PROGRAM STARTS, IT USES THE IVM00 FILE (MOST LIKELY IVM01 IN STORE 1) FOR THE INITIAL COMPARISON.

EOIBEST:

MULTI-STORE SCREEN FIX. REGARDLESS OF WHICH IVM FILE WAS CHOSEN, THE SCREEN LABEL SHOWED THAT IVM01 VALUES WERE BEING USED FOR “ON HAND” AND “ON ORDER”. THE DATA WAS ACTUALLY BEING READ FROM THE CORRECT FILE, BOTH FOR THE LIST/GRID AREA AND THE OH/OO NUMBERS. IT WAS JUST THE LABEL THAT WASN’T UPDATING.

IVDI:

BUTTON COLOR SETTING. TWO BUTTONS HAD COLOR SET WHICH PREVENTED THEM FROM DISPLAYING PROPERLY.

IVDI3:

BOOK SEARCH RESULTS ITEM NUMBER COLUMN EXPANDED. CHANGE COLUMN WIDTH SO ITEM NUMBER SHOWS WITHOUT HAVING TO MANUALLY WIDEN THE COLUMN WHEN RUNNING IN A 4X3 RESOLUTION (SUCH AS 1024X768 AND 1280X1024).

IVHR:

REMOVED READ PROCESS WHEN “NO” SELECTED. IF YOU RAN IVHR AND CANCELLED OR SAID “NO” TO THE “ARE YOU SURE” QUESTION, THE PROGRAM WOULD STILL READ THROUGH THE IVM FILE. IT NOW SIMPLY EXITS.

IVM:

• ADD MODE TO CHANGE MODE. WHEN YOU TRY TO ADD AN ITEM THAT IS ALREADY ON FILE THE SYSTEM NOW PROMPTS YOU WANT TO GO INTO CHANGE MODE. IF YOU TRY AND CHANGE AN ITEM THAT IS NOT FILE THE SYSTEM NOW PROMPTS DO YOU WANT TO GO INTO ADD MODE.

• ALLOWED A BLANK # ON CHANGE ITEM.

• COULDN’T GO INTO CHANGE ITEM NUMBER AFTER GOING INTO IVO OR IVR WITHOUT EXITING TO MAIN MENU.

IVNMPAGE:

MODIFIED SCREEN LAYOUT. RESIZED WINDOW TO REMOVE WIDE MARGIN ON RIGHT SIDE OF LIST BOX. INCREASED THE NUMBER OF LINES IN THE LIST BOX TO USE MORE OF THE SCREEN.

IVPSCRN:

• EXPANDED BUTTONS FOR “CHOOSE REPORT”. TEXT ON TWO OF THE BUTTONS ON THE “CHOOSE REPORT” SCREEN WERE CUT OFF ON SOME RESOLUTIONS.

• PROMO FIELD WAS ONLY 4 CHARS INSTEAD OF 5.

IVSO:

MOVING START ITEM TO EXTERNAL DATA ITEM FOR STOCK LOOKUP.

POS:

• REQUIRE MAIN BUTTON TO LEAVE SUB MENU WHEN NOT CHECKED, IT STILL REQUIRED THE MAIN BUTTON IN POS.

• YOU CAN NOW CHOOSE SMALLER FONT FOR BUTTONS.

• ADDED CUSTOMER NAME TO SUB-TOTAL SCREEN. IN VERSION 7.6, THE SUB-TOTAL SCREEN WAS SHIFTED DOWN SO YOU CAN SEE THE CUSTOMER’S NAME FOR EASY REFERENCE. THE NEW SUB-TOTAL SCREEN IN VERSION 8.0 IS LARGE ENOUGH THAT YOU COULDN’T SEE THE CUSTOMER’S NAME. IF YOU HAVE ASSOCIATED A SALE WITH A CUSTOMER FROM MLM, THE NAME IS NOW ON SUB-TOTAL.

• ITEM MENU IN VERSION 8 IS A GRID OF BUTTON. HOWEVER, ONLY THE FIRST 26 BUTTONS WERE BEING USED/ACTIVE FROM IVNM.

• EMAIL ONLY OPTION. BSMGR WILL NO LONGER PRINT 8.5 BY 11 INVOICE IF EMAIL-ON IS CHOSEN.

• NEW “MODIFY” OPTION. IF YOU ENTER “MODIFY” IN POS AND HAVE AN ITEM IN INVENTORY CALLED “MODIFY” WITH A BLANK TITLE, AUTHOR AND 0.00 PRICE, A WINDOW WILL POP UP ALLOWING YOU TO ADD A FREE TEXT MODIFIER DESCRIPTION. IT’S DESIGNED FOR CAFE/TOUCH POS TO MODIFY ITEMS (SUCH AS “LIGHT ONIONS”) WITH NO ADD’L CHARGE.

• ONLY A SINGLE ROW OF BLANK BUTTONS WERE ON THE ITEM MENU.

• NOT WRITING BURNSUMM.DAT.

POSMENU:

• VALIDATES DEPT AND SUB MENU VALUES.

• CHANGE AND MOVE OPTIONS EASIER. THE CHANGE BUTTON OPTION NOW AUTOMATICALLY ADJUSTS THE TEXT COLOR TO MATCH. YOU CAN STILL FORCE A CHANGE TO THE COLOR IF YOU PREFER. WHEN YOU WANT TO MOVE A BUTTON, YOU CAN NOW SIMPLY CLICK IN THE NEW BUTTON LOCATION AND THE FIRST AND SECOND BUTTONS WILL SWAP PLACES.

• YOU CAN NOW CHOOSE SMALLER FONT FOR BUTTONS.

POSSCRNS:

ITEM MENU IN VERSION 8 IS A GRID OF BUTTON. HOWEVER, ONLY THE FIRST 26 BUTTONS WERE BEING USED/ACTIVE FROM IVNM.
