RMS Version 8.10U Program Changes on the March 2018 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-MAR-R.TXT = Easter Sale Catalog
    (26-Feb-2018 thru 1-Apr-2018)
  • M-MAY-R.TXT = Spring Sale Catalog – Regular Pricing
    (2-Apr-2018 thru 13-May-2018)
  • M-MAY-C.TXT = Spring Sale Catalog – Conservative Pricing
    (2-Apr-2018 thru 13-May-2018)

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.

While the files listed above will be included with the update, if you don’t want to wait for the update disc, you can click here to download the current Munce catalog files, then extract all the files into your BOOK folder.

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.
