RMS Version 8.10R Program Changes on the December 2017 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. 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.


The following price files for the active and upcoming Munce sales catalogs are included on this update.

    • M-CHR-RN.TXT = Regular Christmas Sales Event Catalog [Oct – Nov]
      (30-Oct-2017 thru 26-Nov-2017)
    • M-CHR-CN.TXT = Conservative Christmas Sales Event Catalog [Oct – Nov]
      (30-Oct-2017 thru 26-Nov-2017)
    • M-CHR-RD.TXT = Regular Christmas Sales Event Catalog [Oct – Dec]
      (30-Oct-2017 thru 24-Dec-2017)
    • M-CHR-CD.TXT = Conservative Christmas Sales Event Catalog [Oct – Dec]
      (30-Oct-2017 thru 24-Dec-2017)
    • M-CTC-R.TXT = Regular Countdown To Christmas Sales Catalog
      (27-Nov-2017 thru 31-Dec-2017)

    If you are sending out one of these Munce catalogs to your customers, you can run "IVPROMO" in BSMGR and enter the appropriate file name.

    As a reminder, the program will check your inventory file for the following:

    • If you are missing products from the catalog, the program will prompt you to add them, pulling basic information (title, author, retail, etc.) from the Christian Books & More database.
    • Once missing products have been added to your inventory file, the program will set up the following for all the products in the catalog file:
      » Sale price; » Sale start date; » Sale end date; » Promo code.

NOTE: If you are not sending the 2018 Munce New Year New You flyer, you can ignore this message.

The team at Munce has completed design work on the New Year New You flyer. 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 2018 Munce New Year New You 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-JAN-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-JAN-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.
