** Changes to WAB Stock System July 2004-January 2005.

1. When an update (5.4) is interrupted, disallow 2 machines from running
   the restore of master files simultaneously with both programs bombing.

2. Allow an overseas buy price to be higher than 999.99.
   Secondly, option P.2 will now only update the last purchase price
   ($Aus and Overseas) when the new price is non-zero.
   This will stop a number of Zero purchase prices ending up on file.

3. Purchase orders can be emailed to suppliers as text file attachments.
   When this option is chosen, remove any page heading break points in the
   middle of the text.

4. Cancelling back orders:

   (a) Where the "*****" flag has been set on a back order, advise the
   customer of the cancellation on the next invoice sent. Then replace the
   "*****" with "** N." and the date of the invoice to indicate notification.
   Hold this information on file for 6 months, then delete.

   (b) On B/O listing if the customer notified, show date of notification.
   Otherwise show date of cancellation.

   (c) End of Month (8.1) has allowed the deletion of old back orders (ones
   more than 12 months old, although the number of days can be altered.)
   In future, the system first ensures that there is no stock on hand, and
   that there are no outstanding orders with suppliers. Secondly these back
   orders are now targeted for cancellation "*****" (rather than deletion).

5.  Packet Quantities:

    (a) Where the packet qty > 1, the packet qty description and qty will now
    be automatically included in the description if not already present.

    (b) If ordering over the web, using a superceded code (LINKCD), and the
    new code has a different packet qty size, adjust the order qty
    automatically. If ordering normally, the change in packet quantity is
    an automatic prompt to the operator for he/she to confirm.

    (c) New Option 2.P which enables a bulk change of packet quantities.
    The bulk change occurs by specifying supplier and category,
    then having the option of entering a supplier prefix. The new packet
    quantity is fixed. The old packet quantity can either be a fixed amount,
    any amount greater than the new amount, or any amount less than the new
    amount (though not less than 2).
    The program then alters all packet quantities, and adjust back orders and
    unposted quantities and previous sales quantities according to the
    ratio (old qty to new qty).
    Note, current quantities on hand and current outstanding orders will need
    to be modified manually.
    An audit record of the change is then placed on each product's purchases
    file with the date, time and packet quantity changed.



6. Enable bulk invoice run to be done for specific category (ies), as well
   as a specific product.
   Do not include Transfer accounts in this bulk run.

7. When sending an invoice by email, fix up "Balance c/f" being omitted.

8. If a product has a zero wholesale price, print "No Charge" in wholesale
   column.

9. Consignments. Take in to account different prices used when mailing
   consignments to the same customer for the same product. Use this formula
   when displaying customer total on customer screen, and when printing
   a customer consignment statement where summary = "N", i.e. all
   consignment dates (sorted by date) are to be shown, but only for
   non-zero product balances. 

10. Margins Reporting.

    (a) An overall margin percentage is now shown on Control Totals (5.6).

    (b) There is a margins summary option when running 5.P.

    (c) Then, looking at an individual worksheet/invoice through the "V"
    option, you can drill down to a line by line margins breakdown
    (sub-option "M").

11. Modifying a worksheet (/L option) and W-Window edit, now allows extra
    text to be modified.
    Also, it now shows the discount percentage (if present).
    Using /L in a worksheet/invoice now shows 3 character warehouse location.
    Using /LXXXXXXX can locate a product line by replacing XXXXXXX
    with the product's internal code or printed code.

12. In option 5.1, the system now combines sub-options 5 & 6:
    i.e. Back Order all ordered quantities on Worksheet and Post on Update.

13. Option 5.T "Allow Trade Fair Price Specials Y/N" enables a
    worksheet/invoice to check for temporary price specials with
    class "T". The screen's setting is remembered until it is cleared.
 
14. Utilize /T prefix as a no charge line.
    Print these no charge lines at end of invoice (before freight)
    If these lines are being used to offset freight, enter a message
    to that effect with a "Z" for the "OK YN" at the end of the line.
    This message will then come after the no charge lines, but will
    precede the freight amount.

    Utilize /Z prefix as a promo/samples line (this allows a nominal charge).
    This prefix /Z prints "Sample" in the RRP column

    If you wish to back order a no charge line through option 2.1, enter 55
    in the club category area.



15. If an override retail or wholesale price is held on back order file,
    it is now only utilized if lower than the current wholesale or retail.
    If there is no overriding wholesale price, the discount entered at time
    the back order was created will be the discount used to calculate
    wholesale when the back order is supplied.
    To force an identical RRP and Wholesale, enter discount as 0.01.

16. When enquiring on or amending products or placing an order, you can enter
    ISBN, UPC, Supplier or Product Code without needing to press the F1 key.

17. Customers now have a 4 line reminder memo, instead of just the 2 lines.

18. There is now a Worksheet Memo which prints only on worksheets, both
    through option 5.1 and 5.3 (bulk back order listing).

19. In Product file amend: Option W edits a web page on the server 
    using parameters set up through the "M" option on main menu.
    It generates a .htm file with an associated .gif or .jpg picture.
    Layout is documented in webdev.txt and upload details are in webdev.dbf
    which can be set up and copied to the upload dbf file.
    Option V will then upload the file to your web server and then view it.

20.Entering "T" against products generates a spreadsheet of "tagged" products
   in the local user's desktop folder c:\winstock\ptag.dbf. To start a
   new/different spreadsheet, delete, move or rename this file (in Windows).
   If renaming the file, be careful not to delete its extension, as this
   ensures its readability by Excel. Note, this file can be easily emailed as
   an attachment.

21. An air/sea order can now be entered simultaneously, utilizing
    2 order numbers, tagging each line with an "A" or an "S" code.
    Second order is then printed by calling for that number at start of P.1.

22. The system now updates the country of last purchase automatically.
    (WAB will need to be initialized via product supplier number)

23. Categories 1-99 can now be placed in category groups.

24. With the following exceptions, the out of stock status date can now only
    be updated via option P.A (Update E.T.A. on one or more orders) or by
    entering the due date with an In Transit invoice.

    The following status codes are the exceptions:
    Status "O" - Date product was discontinued / out of print.

    Status "r" - Date of a planned runout (as advised by a supplier)

    Status "F", "I" or "S" - Date for a future planned delivery. As
    backorders are received, instead of a "$" flag appearing in the purchase
    order drop down list, a month code for planned delivery appears
    instead i.e. 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,O,N,D

25. FREIGHT can now be entered, charged and corrected as a product code more
    than once in a worksheet/invoice. Previously, when the worksheet/invoice
    was amended, the additional FREIGHT lines were deleted.

** End of Changes
