Program Changes on February 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 price files for multiple Munce catalogs are included on this update.

  • M-WIN-R.TXT = Regular Winter Sales Catalog (active thru 26-Feb-2017)

  • M-EAS-R.TXT = Regular Easter Sales Catalog (27-Feb-2017 thru 16-Apr-2017)
  • M-EAS-C.TXT = Conservative Easter Sales Catalog (27-Feb-2017 thru 16-Apr-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.
