Manheim > EGM Hub Update > Activities are now overriden so that an activity can not be both a demonstration drive AND a telephone contact (it gets updated to a Visit to prevent EGM rejecting the activity)

Parts > POS > Reversing an Invoice that has already been reversed.  This would generate an credit note for the VAT value of the invoice.  This has been corrected, though due to rounding issues this can still sometimes credit a penny.

Vehicles > Used vehicle Estimated Prep Cost - there were some discrepancies on how this was calculated through the system - this has now been harmonised so that the Default Prep cost from parameters is now overridden by a prep budget on the vehicle itself.

Parts > View/Update Parts - new parts created using this option were not always being indexed for searching by part no

Parts > Managers Toolkit > Advanced Reports > Aged Stock List > Errors in the aging have been corrected, and an extra column to report on all parts with an age older than being aged in the entered columns has been added.

Accounts > Sales/Purchase Ledger - If an account no is entered in account enquiry and that account no doesn't exist in the current company but does in others, the account was not being displayed with the option to add to this company (you could however search by name!).  This functionality has been added.

Workshop > Managers Toolkit > Update Technician - it is now possible to delete a technician via a new "Delete" button

Workshop > Job Processing > Costing a job using "Other Account" to an account that is closed was not warning that the account was closed, and was generating an invalid invoice.  This has now been updated to pop up a warning when invoicing.

Workshop > Technicians Clock > Touch Screen > clocking on job > if "Allow Warranty Clocking" is set (see above) then when a job is chosen a secondary option to select a job line is popped up - it is not necessary to pick a job line.  this is used for franchises where on warranty work it is necessary to clock on to each job lines individually. This assigns the clocking against the job line on the invoice.

Workshop > Technicians Clock > Touch Screen > clocking off job > If the job had a specific job line clocked onto then there is a new button to "Switch Job Lines" which prompts for the job line to clock on to (this simulates clocking off and then back onto the job)

Workshop > Diary > Issue whereby jobs created on stock records were sometimes appearing in another workshops diary job list has been fixed.

Workshop > Create Appointment > Email Confirmation - bug fixed whereby multi-line emails weren't formatted correctly

Parts > Invoicing > When completing a parts invoice there are two new tick boxes to print or email an invoice.  The email tick box only appears if there is an email address on the customer record (based on the invoice to selection).   This allows invoices to be printed, emailed or neither. (#70)

Customer > Business Details > When exiting the business details, a pop up message always appears to warn that you have removed the business name.  This message has been removed except where it is valid to pop-up

Vehicles > Sales Order Processing > It was possible that two users could simultaneously update a Sales Order ; if the first user invoiced the vehicle whilst the second user had it on-screen it was possible to  update the order after invoicing.  This has now been prevented - the second user will now receive an error message when they close the order screen and updates will be rejected.

Vehicles > Part Exchange Purchase Invoice > If the part exchange had been transferred to another branch before invoicing, the part exchange purchase invoice would not print.
