RMS Version 8.02F Program Changes on the July 2016 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.
The price files for Munce’s August catalog (M-AUG-R.TXT) and their “Sizzlin’ Summer” July postcard (M-JUL-R.TXT) are included on this update. If you are sending out a Munce catalog or postcard 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 from the Christian Books & More database.
- Once missing products have been added to your inventory file, the program will set up the following:
» Sale price; » Sale start date; » Sale end date; » Promo code.
- ARM:
- THE FIRST EMAIL ENTRY FIELD IS FROM THE ORIGINAL, SINGLE EMAIL ENTRY FIELD THAT IS LIMITED TO 40 CHARACTERS. THE PROGRAM NOW PREVENTS YOU FROM TRYING TO SAVE THE EMAIL ADDRESSES IF THE FIRST FIELD HAS MORE THAN 40 CHARACTERS.
- BARKIT:
- COSTING CORRECTION ON KITS – THE QUANTITY OF KITS SOLD WAS BEING USED IN POS WITHOUT CONSIDERING THE QUANTITY OF AN ITEM IN THE KIT. THIS CAUSED THE “COST” TO NOT BE CORRECTLY CALCULATED. FOR EXAMPLE, IF A KIT HAD 2 COPIES OF A BOOK AND 1 KIT WAS SOLD POS DETERMINED COST BASED ON “1” KIT SOLD INSTEAD OF “2” COPIES IN THE KIT.
- EZDATA:
- AUTORESPONDER WAS SAVING THE DATE INSTEAD INSTEAD OF <DATE##>.
- IVWO:
- FIXED LABEL LAYOUT – ON SOME RESOLUTIONS, THE LABELS WOULD OVERLAP.
- MLUL:
- ADDED UTILITY TO MATCH TRKIX AUTH WITH IVM AUTH.
- PARABLE:
- ADDED OPTION TO SEND MAIL LIST CHANGES TO A FILE INSTEAD OF THE PRINTER.
- TIME:
- NEW “MISC” FIELD – YOU CAN MAKE A NOTATION ON AN EMPLOYEE TIME RECORD OF 3 CHARACTERS. FOR EXAMPLE “VAC” FOR VACATION HOURS. THIS NOTATION WILL PRINT ON THE PAYROLL REPORT.
- TIMEPAGE:
- NEW “MISC” FIELD – YOU CAN MAKE A NOTATION ON AN EMPLOYEE TIME RECORD OF 3 CHARACTERS. FOR EXAMPLE “VAC” FOR VACATION HOURS. THIS NOTATION WILL PRINT ON THE PAYROLL REPORT.
As a reminder, each month’s update disc also includes a folder titled “Manual” that contains the current RMS manual. The file is in Microsoft Word format, and there is a free Word viewer program in the folder in case you don’t have a copy of Microsoft Word installed on your computer. For your convenience, the RMS program changes on this update are listed below.
Please contact us if you experience problems installing your update.
