NOTE: If you are not sending the Munce 2021 Summer Catalog, you can ignore this message.

If you are sending the Munce 2021 Summer Catalog, please download and process the data file that will prepare your inventory.

  1. Get the current Munce catalog files….
    • Version 8.11 (and earlier) – You can download the Zipped catalog data files by clicking here.
      When the download completes, open the Zip file and extract/copy the files to your BOOK folder.
    • Version 9.00 – At Enter Program Name, enter “SCHEDULE” and click the “Check for Regular Updates Now” button, then click the “Start” button. This will download the current database files and new Munce catalog files. (If this feature has not been disabled in SCHEDULE, you should automatically get the files tonight. And, if you are already up-to-date, that means the files have already been downloaded for you.)
  2. In BSMGR, run “IVPROMO” at the Enter Program Name prompt.
  3. At the “Enter File Name” prompt, type the file name that matches which one you are sending out (see below), then click the OK button.
  4. If you selected a flexible date file, you will be prompted for the start and end dates of the sale.
  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.
  6. If IVPROMO doesn’t do anything, make sure you copied/extracted the files from the current MunceCatalog.zip file to your BOOK folder.

RMS Version 8.11J Program Changes on the 2nd Quarter 2021 Update

by

The quarterly 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 price 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 price files for currently active Munce sales catalogs are included on this update.

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.

Remember you can download the current Munce catalog price files by clicking the link below and extract the files into your BOOK folder. https://updates.bsmgr.com/MunceCatalog.zip

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.

Enhancements and Changes for 8.11

NOTE: Some program changes require registering a new control. BSMGR should notify you the first time you run it on each workstation and automatically handle this. If you have any issues with sending emails from within BSMGR after installing the update, please submit a ticket using SPT or you can call us or email us at support@bsmgr.com.

MLPRFM• ADDED CUSTOMER CODES AFTER EMAIL IN MUNCE REPORT. RPT• LIMITED SIZEABLE FIELDS TO ITEM, TITLE, AUTHOR, MISC, SPACE, LINE, AND SECONDARY. ALL OTHER FIELDS MUST STAY AT THEIR DEFAULT.
