2017 Munce Winter Catalog Files

by

NOTE: If you are not sending the 2017 Munce Winter catalog, you can ignore this message.

The team at Munce has completed design work on the Winter catalog. Unfortunately, the final list of products for the catalog wasn’t ready in time to be included on our December update. We now have the information, and it is ready for you to download and use.

If you plan on sending the 2017 Munce Winter catalog, please download and process the data file that will prepare you inventory.

  1. Download the Zipped catalog file by clicking here.
  2. When the download completes, open the Zip file and extract/copy M-WIN-R.TXT to your BOOK folder.
  3. In BSMGR, run “IVPROMO” at the Enter Program Name prompt.
  4. At the “Enter File Name” prompt, type in M-WIN-R.TXT, then click the OK button.
  5. Any products that are in the catalog and not in your inventory will open the IVM “Add” screen. Add the missing product(s) to your inventory. The catalog’s promo code, start date, end date, and sale price will be set for all the products in the catalog.

If you have any problems downloading the file or getting the file to process from within IVPROMO, please let us know.

Program Changes on December 2016 Update

by

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. Remember to run IVDC after installing your update to reflect retail prices changes for 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 included with this update are listed below.

Enhancements and Changes for 8.02 and 8.10

• MADE THE ENTRY SCREEN A BIT MORE INTUITIVE BY ADDING AN “END BATCH” BUTTON.
