This is a list of all major changes & additions to the Advance Asset program.
Please read new features carefully.
PLEASE follow any instructions for user changes that MUST be followed.
Changes will be indicated with ### at the start of each line.

05-12-08 Spares:- Updated feature. The pricelist report creating utility has been updated.
         The fields on the report can now be selected o=from a list with the mouse or via
         keyboard, and the spreadsheet export feature has been included. See F2, 5, 9.
03-12-08 Gift Vouchers:- New Feature. Users may now change the wording of the two lines that
         print on the Gift Voucher. Note that there are two lines of up to 75 characters
         that can be modified. Use the setup utility F2, H, 3.
20-11-08 Printing:- New Feature. An extra print option has been added to the 'Print Driver'
         send to device list. Position 15 (under View as Windows Text) is an option to
         'Export to Spreadsheet'. This option (if available in a program) will create a
         comma delimited .CSV file {text files used in spreadsheets}, export it to your
         Windows computer, and open it using your default spreadsheet program (usually MS Excel)
         The file will be called 'SPREADSHEETnnn.CSV' where nnn will be your current THEOS
         user PID number. Note that if the facility is not included in a program, or if
         there is no spreadsheet possible from the printing of a program, the menu item will
         just say 'Reserved'.
         Hint:- If you want to use formatting features like fonts, bold/underline/italics,
         links, formulas etc.,  you will want to save the file as a true spreadsheet (.XLS)
         rather than as text (.CSV).
19-11-08 ASSET:- Help. The Help feature built into ASSET has been rewritten. To allow for
         the enhanced features of Distributed Windows Management, the entire help system is
         now windows browser based. When you press <F9> from within a program that does have
         (note not all programs have internal help yet) the help files written, the system
         will display the help in your Internet Browser program so you can click links to
         'jump' to further help, print (full or selective) click the 'back' or 'forward'
         buttons, etc. This features makes the help system far more useable on terminals
         then ever before. Press F9 from the ASSET menu to display a large help display.
         Note:- many more help windows and tips will now be following, as they can be
         used interactively to assist users.
12-11-08 Menu:- New Feature. There is now a 'Favourites' feature built into the ASSET main
         menu. The Favourites menu can hold up to 100 menu items extracted from the full list
         of menu entries in ASSET. Favourites can be accessed by pressing 'F' when the button
         is visible, or clicking on the button with your mouse, or by pressing the 'DEL' key
         at any time the ASSET menu is displayed. Even if other sub-menus are dropped down,
         the DEL key will invoke your Favourites. The list is kept in a file based on the
         IP Address of your computer terminal. Users with Fixed IP addresses setup will
         always get their menu. Users with Dynamic IP addresses will know that their IP
         address can change and therefore the menu will not be accessible. See the How-to
         on usage and configuration.
@4431-10-08 ### New THEOS Workstation:-
###      There is a new  (Beta version, or not a full commercial release)  version (3.18)
###      of the THEOS Workstation program. As it is in the Beta stage of development, there
###      are a few bugs that have yet to be ironed out. But for those users who would like
###      the full Distributed Windows features (like scroll mouse and spreadsheet from the
###      screen display,etc.) this is the way to go. When the commercial release is available,
###      it will be placed into the system for you to update your current version.
###      To get a copy of the new version,  and install it onto your PC,  ring Kev Day at
###      Dealquip. The program is on your system, you will just need help to get it into your
###      Windows PC. The procedure only takes a moment and the difference is worth the effort.
@4429-10-08 ### Format change:-
###      A great deal of development has gone into enhancing the capabilities of Advance ASSET
###      to integrate with the Windows Environment. All users are running Windows PCs as their
###      workstations. With the new 'Distributed Windows Manager' in THEOS it is now
###      possible to view most screens and icons in ASSET as if they were in your Windows
###      PC. To gain full benefit of the new look and feel to ASSET, users will have to enable
###      the Distributed Windows Manager in their THEOS WorkStation program.
###      Click the 'Configuration' Menu, select 'miscellaneous',
###      Click the 'Distributed THEOS Support' tab
###      Enable all the distributed windows capabilities.
###      Save the settings and restart your Workstation session. You should now start to see
###      THEOS 'stuff' as if it were from Windows (e.g. maximise, minimise, move windows and
###      forms etc.)  It is strongly recommended that users update their Workstation
###      version to the latest one. (It is on the CD provided with Corona updates).
@4429-10-08 ### Format change:-
###      As noted above, there are now many more possibilities available when using ASSET on
###      your Windows PC. BUT some users may not like or want these capabilities. If you want
###      limit most of the new screen display features, all that is necessary is to turn off
###      all Distributed Windows features in the version of THEOS WorkStation your are running.

###      It appears that to gain the most benefit from the new features, the patch level of
###      your THEOS operating system should be the very latest version. There is a download
###      available on the Dealquip web site to create a CD for installing the latest Patch
###      levels of THEOS. Ring Dealquip for information and help on doing the update if you
###      need to.

29-10-08 Print Driver:- The enhancements to ASSET using Windows Distribution have begun.
         The print driver now displays to the screen in a browser window. Scroll mouse will
         work, print from windows works, send to windows text file works.
         In 'send to screen' users can now scroll around, print to Windows, Export straight
         into MS Excel as a spreadsheet, and lots more.
         See the note above regarding Distributed Windows Management to get the most out of
         your workstations terminal.
29-10-08 Sales:- New Feature. A reminder system has been built into the Sales Invoicing
         program to remind staff that any 'Cashback' values must be taken into consideration
         and handled appropriately during and after invoicing so that monies will balance.
         See F8, E, 4, 4.  to enable/disable this feature.
29-10-08 Spares:- Invoice Printing. There is a new option to select from when printing or
         reprinting a Spares's invoice. The option is 'Print pickup labels'. If selected,
         this option will allow users to selectively print labels for parts on the invoice.
         This is so that when picking parts, or freighting them, and the part does not
         normally have a label (e.g. washers, pins, bushes etc) users can print a label for
         the parts. This will make it easier for you customers to discern what parts they
         are receiving. If this option is ticked, the program will stop at the very last
         step and give users the choice of which parts and how many labels to print.
09-10-08 Spares:- Masterfiles. A feature has been added to the 'Update Master to Stock'
         program that asks users if they would like to skip writing the new sell prices
         from a masterfile if the current sell prices are higher than the new ones. I.e.
         if rec. sell prices drop, you can tell ASSET not to write the lower prices IF
         the current prices are higher AND there is stock of a part. No stock on hand
         or answer N to this and all prices are rewritten as it used to do.
09-10-08 Spares:- Invoicing. If a part number has a pack size greater than 1, a warning
         message will display above the quantity field to let users know that the part
         must be ordered by pack size. This is so you can get an idea of order quantities
         during the invoice.
07-10-08 Spares:- New feature. A feature has been added to allow users to have a third
         grouping of supplier codes separated out on the charges report. Already there is
         genuine parts and appliances/accessories. The third group possible is named Boat
         Sales. This is for Dealquip, as we are getting new divisions within our Spares
         department, BUT other sites may want to use this capability for separating sales
         and stock of certain types of suppliers etc. The list of suppliers can be setup
         using F2, 7, F   and   F2, 7, J.
02-10-08 Print Driver:- A change has been made to the 'Screen' display. Instead of a Window
         Choice box which is limited by what can fit horizontally on the screen, it now uses
         a Window List box. The Window List box will display the same data as before except
         it can scroll right or left if the data is wider than what will fit on a screen.
         For users who use the 'Screen' display regularly they will notice a scroll bar on
         the right hand side if more data exists down the page, and a scroll bar on the
         bottom if there is more data outside the current screen width. This will make
         scrolling around reports and large printouts easier and more efficient. Reports and
         lists that were once 'cropped' at the edge of the screen, can now be scrolled
         accross and down to see what was once hidden.
         Note:- Mouse click on the arrows in a scroll bar to advance  ONE LINE  per click.
                Mouse click ON the scroll bar below or above the position indicator to go
                down or up  ONE PAGE  per click.
29-09-08 Sales:- Despatch System. A new feature has been added to the Sales System. A Sales
         Despatch system has been introduced. Similar to the Spares Despatch system, it
         allows users to record details of Sales Units being shipped. It records all details
         of couriers, con notes, packing method etc, can print a despatch note, and has a
         detailed search facility for answering enquiries quickly. See F4, A, 1 and F4, A, 2.
         The system can be enable or disabled via a utility and the default to print or
         not can be set. See F4, A, 3.
22-09-08 Masterfiles:- Add the ability for masterfiles to include manufacturer's barcode
         numbers. If a price file from a supplier includes the barcodes on the products
         the update program will write the barcodes as well as the usual prices etc.
         Any time you are talking to your suppliers and they can provide a price file
         that includes their product barcodes, you should be asking for a copy.
22-09-08 Workshop:- Rego Numbers. A new feature has been included into Workshop jobs that
         will create a reference file associating rego numbers with serial/VIN numbers.
         When a new job is created and a rego number is inserted, this system will search
         the reference file and return with the serial/VIN number associated with it (if
         found). The reference file is created automatically when you open the first new
         job. After that, the file is maintained whenever rego or serial numbers are
         modified in a job.
22-09-08 End of Month:- As part of the major re-write, all of the end of month programs
         now include the ability to print using a Gutenberg printer. All reports and
         statements that would normally print to a report printer can now use a Gutenberg
         printer. To change to a Gutenberg printer use the setup utility F8, E, 7, 5.
22-09-08 End of Month:- There is a new end of month report 'reprint' facility. Every report
         from every end of month is now saved and can be reprinted at any time in the future.
         The reports are saved in the format they were originally printed in, and will open
         with the print driver screen so you can select what printer to use to reprint them.
         There is also an extra report that is not printed, but is are now saved. This report
         is created when ASSET calculates your Sales Stock. The report will list all Sales
         Stock with values, and can now be reprinted. So now users will be able to print
         their Sales stock on hand for any month saved (if needed). See TAB, 4, 3.
         This does not replace the 'T' endmTh report button, but is more flexible as it
         includes the print driver for more printer selections.
22-09-08 Major Change:-
         A major re-write of 444 programs has now made it possible to include the Gutenberg
         print capabilities in every program. When anything is printed it should now display
         the 'Print driver' selection screen, and the Gutenberg printer options will be on
         the list. This means that there is now no requirement to have report printers and
         invoice printers of the old dot matrix type. Everything can be printed to laser.
         Reports are formatted so that they print in landscape mode (sideways) on a page.
         Even end of month reports can now all be printed to laser printers via the
         Gutenberg interface. Use the new printer setup utility (F8, E, 7, 5) to correctly
         change the control files in ASSET to use new printers.
###      Due to the thousands of places where edits have been done, I need users to report
###      any errors or print problems as soon as they occur. Every effort has been made to
###      test all changes but there may be some that slip through.
###      Your help and understanding would be greatly appreciated.

23-08-08 Spares:- Multi-order receiving. Features added to allow comments and prices
         (retail, list, trade, wsale) to be changed during modification. Also, if there is
         a problem part that generates a warning message, the message now includes the
         line item number that caused the warning. When it returns to the list, it
         automatically highlights the offending line.
18-08-08 Payroll:- The ability to calculate and deduct HELP Higher Education Loan Programme
         and SFSS Student Financial Supplement Scheme repayments from an employee's wages.
         If you have any employees who have indicated that they have such debts and need
         repayments taken out of their wage, you need to modify their payroll records with
         the new section added into payroll. Deductions are calculated and deductad with tax.
17-08-08 Spares:- Multi-Order receiving. A new feature added to the multi-order receiving
         system. A line has been added to the bottom of the screen which gives full details
         of each highlighted line in the order list box. Details include EXC cost,
         Qty reveived, EXC total, GST and line total. Hopefully this will make it easier to
         work out pricing for some suppliers with strange invoice printouts, and easily see
         if a line does not agree with the prices charged.
15-08-08 Spares:- Honda orders. Added a switch to send the order to Honda as a Stock or
         Daily order, no matter what the order type in ASSET is. If a Daily order is not
         urgent and you want to tell Honda it is a stock order to get an extra discount,
         this switch will format the order file as if it was a stock order request being
         sent. Remember if you modify the cost when receiving you will be changing the normal
         Daily cost.
14-08-08 Spares:- Yamaha orders. The ASSET system has been modified so that Yamaha orders
         when printed, will produce a file and send it to your PC. This file can be uploaded
         to Yamaha through the web. This should mean that there is no need to re-type
         every part number into the Yamaha web system every time you make an order.
         See the How-To:-  "Spares - Yamaha setup for web orders" for full instructions.
12-08-08 ASSET Menu: New feature. Any time a user accidentally changes the size of the
         screen and cannot display the ASSET menu and some programs properly, the screen
         can be restored to normal by simply pressing X.
         This will run the 'SESSION MAXIMIZE' command.
12-08-08 G/L: New report. A new report has been added to the Financial Reports section.
         This utility will produce a spreadsheet containing every G/L code used within a
         single financial year, and list each period's total. The spreadsheet is then
         sent to your PC.  See  F1, 5, H.
08-08-08 Spares:- Honda orders. The ASSET system has been modified so that Honda orders
         when printed, will produce a file and send it to your PC. This file can be uploaded
         to Honda through the web. This should mean that there is no need to re-type
         every part number into the honda web system every time you make an order.
         See the How-To:-  "Spares - Honda setup for web orders" for full instructions.
21-07-08 Printers:- New utility. A new setup utility is in place that will allow users to
         setup all default printers in all control files. Recent changes to hardware
         configurations brought about a realisation that changing default printers in
         all the different control files was a cumbersome task. This new utility will make
         changing default printer settings easy. Simply select the printer type and then
         select the printer to use and the job is done. See F8, E, 7, 5  or F8, C, 5.
18-07-08 Workshop:- New feature. When creating a new Workshop job, after entering the
         customer ID and order number, ASSET will present a list of previous workshop
         jobs and machine sales recorded against that customer. Users can select an entry
         from the list that corresponds to the new job details (if one exists) or enter
         on the top line to bypass this feature and proceed manually. If the make, model
         and serial number are recorded on a selection, these figures will be used for
         creating the new job. Hopefully this might go some way to keeping records more
         accurate and in line with each other.
06-07-08 Sales:- New Feature - A new feature to enable/disable the printing of delivery
         dockets when a Sales Invoice is printed or reprinted. See F4,3,8 or F8,E,4,3.
         Once enable, at the end of producing an invoice a choice box allows users to
         decide if a delivery docket is required. The delivery name and address can be
         changed for times when the delivery is to be made to a third party, or a different
         address than that recorded on a customer.
04-07-08 Sales:- New Report - There is a new report in Sales to display/print a list of
         current Sales Stock that was floorplanned and has been paid out in full.
         See F4, 4, 9.
03-07-08 Spares:- Supersessions - New Feature and utility. There is now the ability to see
         and select 'reverse supersessions' in ASSET, while in Invoicing and Parts Enquiry.
         Every time an Average Cost report (manually F2,5,2. or during the backup) runs it
         will update a data file containing a list of reverse supersessions for parts. Also
     ### there is a new utility (see F2, 2, F or TAB, 7, 6) to manually update a similar
         data file for all your masterfiles. If a part is entered on an invoice or displayed
         in parts enquiry, a 'flag' is highlighted indicated whether the part has reverse
         supersessions available. You can list the reverse supersessions, and if there is old
         stock, you can select and use this instead of ordering the newest part number.
         Normal 'forward' supersessions still work as they used to.
02-07-08 Spares:- Bin Locations - New utility to analyse your bin locations and report on
         any bins that have more than the allotted maximum count per bin. Any bins over
         the maximum can then be fixed automatically by this utility. See F2,7,2,7.
24-06-08 Spares:- Ordering - New Feature. Receiving Parts orders has been re-written.
         There is now a 'multi-part' receiving system. This system will present a list of
         all parts able to be received on an order, and allow users to modify features like
         pricing, quantity received, barcode, serial numbers etc. Lines on the list can
         be 'ticked or unticked' for receiving or not. Once modified (if necessary) the
         entire order can be received in a single stroke. See How-To 'Spares - Multi part
         receiving' for full instructions and explanation. Note that the 'old' one part at
         a time system is the default selection and still works exactly the same as before.
         The multi-part receiving system works with Daily and Stock orders.
23-06-08 Spares:- New report. A search/report facility has been added where users can
         search through a supplier (or all suppliers) for average costs that are above an
         entered value. This report will also list part numbers (in stock) with an average
         cost of zero. This might be useful for sites that have large discrepancies between
         G/L and parts totals that are caused by a large (and wrong) average cost value.
         See  F2, 5, P.
19-06-08 Spares:- Quotes - New feature. In 'Reprint Quotes' there is now an added feature
         where users can do a detailed search to try and reduce the number of quotes that
         display in a list to choose from. It searches the customer's name, street, city
         account ID and the reference on the quote and produces a list of any matching
         quotes to choose from.  See F2, 4, 2.
19-06-08 Spares:- Bin Report changed to allow for the printed report to only list part
         numbers in a bin location that ARE in stock (i.e: qty is not zero).
         Also now includes the Gutenberg print driver.      See F2, 7, 2, 3.
17-06-08 Spares:- Interchangeable Parts list now include any quantities 'not yet received'
         on the LAST Stock Order, and the order number. The list is now in alphabetical
         order by SUP-PART NUMBER.
14-06-08 Spares Invoicing:- Additional feature. See entry 16-05-08 & 03-06-08 'Sell under
         cost & discount passwords', an extra feature has been implemented whereby a
         maximum discount OFF RETAIL can be set. If the 'No Under Cost' password is enabled
         either a minimum markup OR a maximum discount can be set and passworded so that
         sell prices cannot be below an allowable level.  See F8, E, 2, C.
13-06-08 Stock Take: The Stock Take procedure has had the Gutenberg print driver included
         in it. This will allow for reports to be printed (or not) to any printer on the
         print driver list including any Gutenberg (printer 20, 21, 22,..etc) printer.
         The reports will print on A4 in landscape orientation in fonts small enough to fit
         all lines on the page.
13-06-08 There is a new How-To called 'Spares - Stock Take Procedure' to guide you through a
         Stock Take explaining each step of the process.
13-06-08 ###   Disclaimer:- The new Gutenberg print style for invoices and orders includes
###      ###   a disclaimer that prints at the bottom of each page. The wording for this
###      ###   disclaimer is default as used by Dealquip, BUT CAN BE CHANGED.
###      ###   Users should carefully read this disclaimer, and if you do not agree with
###      ###   any of the wording, there is a utility that allows users to edit the
###      ###   disclaimer to suit their needs and requirements. See  F2, 1, I
###      ###   No responsibility will be taken for any outcomes as a result of this disclaimer.
10-06-08 End Year: Utility to transfer a PDF version of the 0708 End of Year instructions
         from ASSET to your local windows PC, and open them in Adobe Reader. See F8, 2, F.
06-06-08 Suppliers: For sites that have a STAR thermal label printer there is a utility
         built into Supplier Maintenance that allows user to print a 'con' label addressed
         to the supplier in large print, for sticking onto parcels being returned to them.
         Press Shift-F6 at the supplier screen to print a label.
         Note that this feature has also been available in 'customers' for some time.
06-06-08 Sales/Workshop: Model Numbers have been increased to 12 characters. Most places
         in ASSET will display the full 12 characters. Some 'squeezing' of data was
         required in certain programs so there may be a few places where the full 12
         characters could not be displayed but they should still contain 12 if needed.
06-06-08 Spares: New feature - Invoice printing. For those sites that are having problems
         printing Spares invoices with the new reduced print size that allows for 40
         character descriptions and 25 character partnumbers, there is now an alternative.
         The print size is not reduced, but the description only prints 18 out of 40
         characters. The new print type can be selected by doing a reprint (F2, 1, 3) and
         pressing F1 to select print style. It is option 5 on the list.
04-06-08 Payroll: New PAYG tax scales added for financial year 2008 - 2009. All wages
         processed after 01-07-2008 will use the new tax scales.
03-06-08 Spares: Invoicing - If retail price is less than GST inclusive sell price (i.e. if
         sell price has been increased) then the print program will add 10% to the INC sell
         price and print this as the retail, to indicate that retail is always at least the
         sell price or higher. Gives the impression that customers are getting a good deal.
03-06-08 Spares: Discounts - New feature to enable the use of a password when applying any
         additional discounts while processing a Spare's Invoice. Passwords can be enabled
         or disabled, so that when the "Discount Addition" option is used during an invoice
         the user must provide a password or it will be disallowed. See F8, E, 2, D to setup.
30-05-08 Spares: Stock Ordering - A new feature in Stock Order Generator that allows users
         to enter a number of months back to skip older parts. For suppliers that have
         yearly models or seasonal items, you can now enter a number of months that the
         program will use to check the age (how long you have stocked a part) and ignore
         parts aged older than the number of months you enter.
30-05-08 Spares: Stock Ordering - If a part is deleted from a Stock Order and the order
         number is the same as the number registered in the part, the last stock order
         number registered in the part is removed so as not to mistakenly record the part
         as still being on backorder.
16-05-08 Spares: Selling below cost - New feature. A new feature has been added to the spares
         invoicing program which allows users/managers to force the program to NOT ALLOW
         any part to be sold for less than either the Daily cost or Average cost, unless
         a password is entered. This feature is setup with the utility in F8, E, 2, C)
         and allows for any 5 letter password to be used. Once enable, the password is
         required to get in and change/disable the feature.
         Also this feature includes a setting for MINIMUM markup acceptable. By setting this
         amount as a percentage, sales that fall below the higher of the daily or average
         cost PLUS the minimum markup % will not be allowed. Setting it to zero disables
         this feature.
         Be Warned though:- Not allowing below cost sales will not stop staff selling at
         just above cost price. You still need to be vigilent.
11-05-08 Spares: Missed Sales - New feature. A new feature has been included so that every
         time a Spares Invoice/Enquiry is cancelled, ASSET MUST record it (as opposed to
         the current asking if it should be recorded). This feature will save the results
         for reporting/analysis in the missed sales section (F2, 5, E). It will also allow
         for a report of every missed/cancelled sale to be sent via e-mail to the manager.
         It highlights the fact that a cancelled sale is from a customer order pickup. This
         can highlight incidences of "no receipt wanted - I'll pocket the cash" and slow
         sales due to pricing or other factors that need to be addressed. See (F8, E, 2, B)
         to enable and setup e-mailing. Password protected with the daycode.
29-04-08 Print Spooler: Change to the Print Spooler utility. ASSET now displays the THEOS
         Corona Spooler Utility. Use this feature to view spooler status and kill printer
         entries to the spooler.
24-04-08 New Utility: Debtors: A new search/report function that allows users to report
         on debtors for any time the debtor file was saved (during a backup). Produces an
         Aged Debtors listing for that date, and creates a spreadsheet called 'KCARAGE.CSV'
         which it transfers to the user's terminal. See F10, 7, K.
22-04-08 New Utility: Creditors: A new search/report function that allows users to report
         on creditors for any time the creditor file was saved (during a backup). Selection
         can be all, only open invoices, only held invoices, only floorplan or all except
         floorplan. The report can be printed and a summarised spreadsheet called
         'SUPLAGED.csv' is created and sent to users terminals. See INS, 5, B.
18-04-08 New feature: Workshop Kits & Minikits. Users can now include default labour amounts
         within a kit or minikit for creating or maintaining Workshop jobs. By entering the
         time (in hours) and the Rate (in dollars) inside specific characters, ASSET will
         bring up a window and ask for the mechanic's initials to allocate the labour to
         and automatically update the job with the labour charged.
         See the How-To "Workshop - Auto Labour adding by KITS" for full instructions.
09-04-08 New feature: Harley Davidson dealers who want to use the PAM search tools can now
         create and send the data file via e-mail directly to Harley. See F2, 7, E, 7.
20-03-08 New feature: Individual users can be setup with a default printer selection for the
         print driver selection box. This will override other defaults so that any user can
         have their 'usual' printer as the default selection when printing. This will save
         time by having your usual printer already selected and not having to scroll to it.
         There are two settings:- One for the default printer selection when the Gutenberg
         Option is not available and one for when Gutenberg is present.  E.g. For times when
         there is no Gutenberg option use the 'to PC Browser', and when Gutenberg option
         is available use 'PRT20 Gutenb1".
         Use the 'Setup CONTROL.PID' utility.  See  F8, A.
20-03-08 New feature: Gutenberg printer can be setup as the default selection when the
         print driver selection box is displayed and there is a Gutenberg option
         available. See F8, C, 4.
12-03-08 Spares: Stock Orders - A new feature that allows users when they do a Stock Order
         generator and select 'N' to NOT skip backorders, to select only the last stock
         order a part was on, or all stock orders for the previous 6 months. This might
         save reordering stock that has been backordered for a couple of months or more.
         Note that to search backorders will take longer.
06-03-08 Upgrades: New utility that will transfer a PDF version of the Web -> Masterfile upgrade
         instructions to your PC and open the file in Adobe Reader. File has detailed
         picture instructions on performing the Masterfile upgrades in the new Corona System.
         See F8, 2, E.  Note:- Designed to work on a terminal - not the main server.
05-03-08 Upgrades: New utility that will transfer a PDF version of the Web -> ASSET upgrade
         instructions to your PC and open the file in Adobe Reader. File has detailed
         picture instructions on performing the ASSET upgrades in the new Corona System.
         See F8, 2, D.  Note:- Designed to work on a terminal - not the main server.
04-03-08 Printing: Enhanced the print driver in ASSET to better handle pages breaks so
         most printed material should print correctly within a page.
03-03-08 Spares: Ordering. Amount of part numbers that can be ordered on a single invoice
         increased from 10 to 98. An invoice can now be full (98 lines) and each line be
         an on-order part.
19-02-08 Spares: Ordering. Added ability to record manufacturer's barcode for a part at the
         point of receiving orders.
14-02-08 Spares: Invoicing. Spare Parts Kits can now hold up to 20 part numbers (up from the
         previous capacity of 10). Kit ID's can now be up to 25 characters.
08-02-08 Accounts: Statements. A new report that will print a list of any customer IDs and
         e-mail addresses that statements were sent via e-mail to. Handy to check that any
         customers setup for e-mailing statements were sent through ASSET. See F10, 7, J.
06-02-08 Sales: Invoicing. When a TRADE is taken on a Sales invoice, ASSET now asks if you
         want to apply a Credit Limit to the new stock code. Saves having to go into
         customers and modify the credit limit.
04-02-08 Spares: Invoicing. When a customer ID is entered on an invoice, ASSET will check to
         see if there are any notes or comments held for that customer, and display a choice
         box allowing users to display all notes and comments on the screen at the point of
         invoicing. The default is NO, just enter to proceed.
04-02-08 Spares: Spares invoicing. If a part number is entered or scanned and not found 'as is'
         ASSET will remove the last character and re-search. If this is not found ASSET will
         remove the last two characters and re-search. This may be handy for certain barcodes
         the use the last digit as a check number and not in the part number. It may also help
         when scanning barcodes (eg Yamaha) which are designed for different countries, where
         there may be an extra two digits on the barcode. Also, ASSET will trim all non numbers
         or letters in a barcode and search. This will help with genuine barcodes that can be
         full of "."s  "/"s  and "-"s. E.g   "12345-678/AB\CD.E" will become "12345678ABCDE"
04-02-08 Customers: When creating a new customer ID with a pick ID from a list longer than
         20 existing customers, ASSET will now search the existing customer list and display
         any 'near matches' in an attempt to reduce duplicating ID's for the same person.
30-01-08 Spares: Manufacturer's barcode will now return the part number in enquiries (F2, 2, 1)
         and File maintenance (F2, 7, 1)
30-01-08 Spares: Serial numbers - if more stock on hand than serial numbers on hand, a box will
         display allowing users to add the serial numbers of parts in stock, not already
         recorded.
30-01-08 Spares: Invoicing - Shift-F1 (sales history of a part) now displays quantities
                           - Shift-F2 (order history of a part) now displays quantities

19-01-07 Spares Return for Credit: There is a new Return For Credit system
         in Spares. The new system allows users to create RFCs for returning
         parts, and to complete the RFC when the credit note/stock/refund
         arrives. It will handle restocking fees, freight charges, refunds
         and replacement stock. There is also a search utility for finding
         RFCs by many different criteria. See F2, 7, 6 menu. Also there is
         a full How-To on using the new system in the How-To menu.
         See How-To "Spares - Return For Credit".
13-12-06 Spares Ordering: New Utility. There is now a 'Detailed Order Report'
         in Spares. It allows users to enter - start/end dates, Supplier code
         or all, substitute supplier or all, start/end order num or all,
         start/end part number or all, manual/customer or all orders,
         stock/daily or all orders, and a customer ID or all. The utility
         produces a short list which is displayed, that can take you to an
         order or print the list with more details. It also produces a
         spreadsheet file whith even more data on it which can be imported
         into Excel. See F2, 3, G.
11-12-06 Printing: New facility. There is now a control switch to enable/
         disable the printing of the 'text' version of user's name and
         address when printing with 'Print to Browser'. For sites that have
         a graphic image they use for the header on these prints, it is
         not necessary (and a waste of space) to also print the name and
         address in text form.  See F8, C, 3. to enable/disable.
08-12-06 Customers: New feature. There is now a new section in customer
         file maintenance where users can store up to 10 'sub-mailer'
         classes. The sub-mailers are a method of further refining the way
         that customer IDs are classified, to make mail outs as general
         as possible or as targetted as possible. The sub-mailers are
         now included in the Mailer search utility to allow a better
         use of the Maler codes associated with customers. See the How-To
         "Customers - Sub-Mailer". See F10, 8, C. for setting up the sub-
         mailer codes. There is room for 1000 different sub-mailers.
08-12-06 Customers: New feature. There is now a switch in customer file
         maintenance for 'dormant' accounts. I.e. those customer IDs that
         have been added over time, but who are not currently active.
         E.g. customers IDs over 2 years old who have not purchased from
         us in that time. This feature is included in the Mailer search
         program so that users can limit mailouts to 'active' accounts.
17-11-06 Banking: New Utility. Occassionally a 'ticked' entry in the
         cashdraw will fail to clear from the screen after banking.
         Previously these entries had to be deleted manually using the file
         utilities in F8. There is now a utility in Banking which allows
         users to delete entries from the cashdraw if they do not clear
         when the banking is ticked. BE WARNED - if entries are deleted
         which have not been ticked and banked, it will put things out of
         balance. If users need to manually delete entries which have not
         cleared, see F10, 3, 9.
07-11-06 Sublets: New Utility. It has been noted that rarely, a sublet and
         its details will unexpectedly delete from a workshop job. There
         is now a utility to quickly and easily replace the missing data.
         See F3, 6, 5.
02-11-06 G/L: New Utility. There is now a utility which spreads the budget
         for ALL G/L codes in the system. Using data from previously
         completed periods, this utility can produce averaged data for your
         P&L as budget figures. This is compared with actual results to give
         accurate users the ability to see how each month's figures compared
         to the averages. See F1, 7, E.
28-09-06 Accounts Payable;- New feature. It is now possible to setup the
         payment terms for individual suppliers, which will over-ride the
         default 30 day term for the due date when passing invoices for
         payment. Terms can be a set number of days OR  E and number of days
         for month end +days.  E.g if terms are 20 days after month end use
         E20. If your terms are a 7 day account simply put 7.
         See Suppliers, B for Banking, Payment terms.
11-09-06 Sales:- New utility. Users may now add their Bank Deposit details
         onto Sales invoices to accommodate those customers who pay via
         direct deposit. See F4, 3, 7
25-08-06 Debtors:- New utility. Users who use the fax statement facility
         can now turn ALL messages either on or off. See F10, 8, B.
16-08-06 Sales:- New Feature. There is now a Location field available for
         Sales Stock Codes. This is linked to the transfer request system
         (see below) but can be used manually to set the locations of stock
         machines. eg if they are sent to auctions etc. to records where
         they are. In F4, 1, 1 Maintain Sales,  use the H = Help option and
         a L-Location can be setup.
15-08-06 Sales:- New Utility. There is now a utility to create and save
         requests for transfer stock machines. Enter details of who and
         what with dates etc. Save, print and search requests. Once the
         Confirm date is in place, no frther changes can be made.
         See F4, 1, D.
28-07-06 Spares:- New Utility. Users can now print (or not) a Detailed
         Invoice report and at the same time create a spreadsheet of the
         report for exporting to Windows. This utility allows for the
         same powerful searches as the ordinary Detailed Invoice Report
         but it produces a 'CSV' file called SCPRTDTL.CSV which can be
         transferred to Windows and opens up straight into Excel.
         See F2, 1, H
28-07-06 Workshop:- New Utility. Users can now Add/Edit a 3 line message
         which will print at the bottom of Workshop Job Invoices.
         See F3, 1, A.
24-07-06 Sales:- Quoting. A report now exists to print a list of quotes
         done for Sales. Enter a salesperson or * for all and a start and
         end date.
20-07-06 Spares:- New system. A new system has been introduced for sites
         that may have two or more branch offices running from the single
         mainserver ASSET computer. This is an Inter-Branch Parts transfer
         for sending parts internally from one branch to another. For those
         sites running as two separate businesses, it is still better to
         order and sell the parts to the other branch.
18-07-06 Sublets:- New Utility to quickly view any sublet order with all
         details. No values can be changed, it is simply to quickly view a
         sublet if the number is known. Saves searching etc, or rewriting a
         sublet just to see the details. See  F3, 6, 4.
12-07-06 Spares:- New Utility to report on customer's orders, where complete
         or not. In other words a way of reporting every customer order
         placed by one/all customers from a start date to an end date.
         Useful for keep track of orders or helping your customers keep
         track of their's.
12-07-06 General:- A new utility - Customer Call Diary - has been developed.
         See F2, F.  This is a call/Contacts diary entry system where any
         salesperson can enter details of customer contacts made. There is
         space for all sorts of deails, and a search routine so that sales
         prospecting can be analysed for common faults or problems.
04-07-06 Spares:- New Utility. A new Appliance (non-stock item) quoting
         system has been added. The system allow for up to 8 part numbers
         with three lines (of 30 characters) of descriptions to be placed
         onto a quote. Handy for non-stock items, or where a Spare's quote
         might confuse customers when parts need to be ordered. It was
         developed for Dealquip's appliance section for quoting appliances
         and combinations of items in kit forms.
28-06-06 G/L:- New Utility. A new utility which allows users to fix 'Blank
         G/L Code' errors in a G/L period is available. Occasionally an
         error may occur where an entry in the General Ledger is written
         without a G/L code associated with it. This can now be fixed by
         using the GL Blank utility. See F1, 7, D.
07-06-06 Payroll:- Changes have been made to take into account the new
         Workplace laws AND the upcoming tax changes due after the 01-07-06.
         No change is necessary to the way you have been processing wages.
         All dated changes will take effect automatically when they are due.
06-06-06 Customers:- A change has been made in the "Show Transactions"
         screen. There is now a timer (60 seconds) which will close this
         screen if there is no keyboard activity for 60 seconds. This is
         because when this screen is open it can stop access to the cashdraw
         and banking system, and it was found that this screen was being left
         open for extended periods of time.
06-06-06 Rental:- New System. A completely new Rental Management system has
         been introduced to allow much quicker, easier controlling of a
         rental fleet. It is based around three main areas:- Rental Fleet
         Units, Rental Fleet Customers and Rental Fleet Agreements. The
         Rental menu has been redesigned to incorporate the changes.
25-05-06 Sales:- New report. A new report to produce a sales report for
         all salesperson number summarised individually, from a start
         date to an end date. See F4, 4, 8.
05-05-06 Workshop:- New feature. When Modifying a Workshop job, the
         description (all 24 possible lines) now displays within a full
         screen window. This means that you can see and read the full
         description. Also, the new mini-kit system is in the modify
         existing job description. Now you can insert mini kits into the
         description of an existing job. Note the bottom left corner, it
         has INSERT or OVRTYPE indicating what type mode is active for a
         line. Also note that inserting a mini kit overtypes what is on a
         line.
02-05-06 Workshop:- New feature. When creating a new workshop job, there is
         now a 'Mini Kit' facility that allows users to select and enter
         multiple mini description kits. This allows the creation of a job
         description based on one or many short terms or sentences. Press
         <TAB> when in description to use the Mini Kit system. See the
         How To 'Workshop - Mini Kits'.
23-04-06 Spares Orders:- New feature. If ordering is set up for the customer
         call facility, a new report is printable when receiving orders to
         print a list of parts received for customers, with details of names
         addresses and phone numbers. To enable the customer call facility see
         the How-To 'Spares  Customer Phone List'.
20-04-06 Spares:- New feature. In Parts Enquiry (F2,2,1) there is now a new
         Order search. Entering 'O' (O for Orange) will search the order
         file for every order for the part displayed. This is different to
         the Shift-F1 order search, as it will search all orders (printed
         or not) and list then in newest to oldest order. The list may be
         printed by entering on the last line.
20-04-06 Spares:- New feature. In Parts Enquiry (F2,2,1) there is now a way
         to associate parts with model numbers (or other part numbers), or
         to associate models with part numbers. See How-to 'Spares Parts suit
         models'.
20-04-06 A/P:- New utilities (INS,5,8 & INS,5,9) to export Spares sales and
         purchases to a MYOB compatible spreadsheet.
23-03-06 Spares:- New feature of Customer Reward Scheme. Users can now
         add a customer code and enable them with a starting points value.
         E.g. a customer who buys a sales machine may be put into the
         rewards scheme with a starting value based on the price of the
         machine. Also the 'print receipt and clear rewards' should
         now use the correct value.
13-03-06 Sales:- Invoice comments are now saved and will be printed on any
         print/reprint of a sales invoice.
13-03-06 Spares:- Credit note comments are now saved and will be printed
         on any print/reprint of a credit note.
10-03-06 Workshop:- New report. Labour charged to jobs between a start and
         end date. See F3, 3, C
10-03-06 Workshop:- New report. Labour charged to Sales Stock between a
         start date and end date. See F3, 3, D
10-03-06 Sales:- New Feature. Sales Orders now have a customer ID facility
         so that Stock may be ordered for a customer. The customer code
         will be attached to the order and stock receival, so that it will
         be easier to keep a track on who a machine was ordered for. There
         is a utility in F4, 2, 6 to add/remove/modify customer ID's on
         orders and stock codes. See How-To "Sales - Customer Orders".
02-02-06 Spares:- New report. A spreadsheet file is produced from the
         Detailed invoice report consisting of part sales & customer IDs.
         Manipulate the data in a spreadsheet once transferred. The file
         name is SCPRTDTL.CSV .  See F2, 1, H.
11-11-05 Spares:- New feature. In Stock Enquiry (F2, 2, 1) there is a
         new facility to keep extra information about a part number.
         Press F2 and a screen with up to 4 lines of information can be
         edited and saved. A message displays above the part number
         to let you know that there is more info available for a part.
27-10-05 Spares:- When a credit card surcharge is added to an invoice
         (use Discount before complete, and add -discount {minus discount})
         a comment is now added to the invoice stating a surcharge of
         x% for credit card usage has been applied.
14-10-05 Workshop:- If you have any customers that have a workshop job
         Sundries default amount that is not the same as the normal
         default Sundries amount, there is now a way to save the
         alternate Sundries amount for each customer. Go into customers
         (F7), enter the customer ID, press F1 to adjust, enter L for
         Labour rates. There you will find an extra field for the
         default Sundry amount for that customer. Entering any value,
         other than 0 (zero) will cause the job creation program to use
         that figure instead of the normal default.
06-10-05 Spares:- New Report which allows users to compare the sales of
         parts from a single supplier, for a single month, between two
         years. E.g. If you wanted to compare the sales for supplier ABC
         in month 9 (September) between years 2004 and 2005, and have a
         list of all customers with their sales and profit totals, this
         is it. See F2, 5, L
08-09-05 Accounts Payable:- The Aged Vendor List program has been enhanced.
         As well as producing the normal detailed list on screen, which
         can be printed, it now produces a Spreadsheet file called
         SUPLAGED.CSV  which has summary lines for each supplier. Transfer
         the file SUPLAGD.CSV to Windows and open it in Excel.
         See <INS>, 5, 5.
30-08-05 Sales:- Passing for payment. If the prices on an order are wrong
         and you go into the modify screen as normal, then get back to
         the front screen, there will be NO option to go back and modify
         further. If the prices are still wrong after modifying once, you
         will have to exit the passing program and start again. This is
         because continual modifying was accumulating the "STOCK REC
         ERROR" journal which is done to balance the G/L, and putting
         the stock out of balance.
15-07-05 Sales Deposits:- Receipts are now saved and can be reprinted. See
         Option 9 in Sales Deposit utility.
13-07-05 Spares:- New utility to calculate the value of spare parts stock
         received from one date to another. See F2, 3, F.
06-07-05 Spares:- Label printing when receiving parts: The feature which
         allows for the On Hand quantity to print on labels has been
         modified. You can now choose either On Hand quantity OR Received
         quantity to print  OR neither. See F2, 3, A to enable/disable.
23-06-05 Payroll:- New Tax Scale. As from 01-07-2005 the payroll system will
         use the tax rates and formulas as set out in the Tax Office
         document NAT1004A-5.2005.
21-06-05 Sales:- New feature. When doing a search through F4, 1, 1. the
         system now displays an extra option when you pick a stock code
         from the list. 'B = Back to search' displays. By entering B you
         will be taken back into the search list, at the line after the
         last item selected.
21-06-05 Customers:- New feature/utility. The search sales (?) when in
###      customer display should now be very fast. There is a new utility
###      which will run during every backup, which updates a history data
###      file containing every customer's Sales and Workshop jobs invoices.
###      This utility may be run manually (should be done after the update
###      for the first time) by using F10, 8, A.
16-06-05 Spares Sales:- New utility which compares the part sales from one
         supplier for one financial year against another. It produces a
         comma delimited CSV file called SCFINCOM.CSV which can be
         transferred to Windows and opened in a spreadsheet program. It
         list each part sold with monthly comparisons between the two
         financial years entered. See F2, 2, D.
25-05-05 Spares Orders:- If there has been any notes associated with a part
         on an order, those notes will now display on the screen when
         receiving that part. Notes are applied through adjust orders or
         at time of invoice/ordering.
05-05-05 Audit:- A change to the Audit Report. A new field "F/P Unclaimed"
         has been added next to the Creditors GL PD Breakup. This field
         will display the GST which is available to be claimed when all
         Floor Planned Stock is paid for. REASON:- The GST on Floor Plans
         (Bailments) is calculated at the time the Bailment is entered into
         the system (i.e. It goes into the G/L and into the GST file).
         BUT because GST is NOT CLAIMABLE until the Bailment is paid out,
         this has been making the G/L and GST files not match. Now, this
         entry should explain the difference between the Tax Total and
         the GST Owed fields.
         In the Audit report -Out of Balance utility (F1, 5, C) this
         figure is used with the G/L figure to compare with the GST file
         figure.
21-04-05 Spares Menu:- A change to the Utilities Menu F2, 7.  This menu
         was getting very long, so I have reorganised it. There are now
         several submenus from this menu. Sorry if it makes it a little
         harder, but more and mode utilities are being requested.
21-04-05 Spares:- Yamaha dealers. A new utility for creating and exporting
         a special file which will integrate with the YDC system for
         exporting a list of dead stock. See the circular sent to dealers
         by Yamaha.  See F2, 7, E, 4.
14-04-05 Banking:- New utility. From this update (Apr 2005) the sheets
         printed when money is applied to accounts through banking, will
         be saved (just like the deposit slips). This new utility will
         search these saved banking sheets for a single customer ID and
         report on every cheque, D/D, cash, EFTPOS etc. payment that
         customer has made with date, reference, amount on printout.
11-04-05 Major Update:- Changes to many programs in ASSET, mostly in
         Workshop and Sales. For a full list of changes and enhancements
         see the How-to:- Updates   - April 2005.
01-04-05 Spares - Discounts: A new feature for setting different discounts
         for a customer on up to nine suppliers, and applying a fixed
         discount for all other suppliers when invoiced to a customer.
         Set up the discounts for a customer using either a +  or  -  only.
         This will enable the grid system of up to 10 suppliers having
         different discounts. NOW  if the 10th supplier code is set to ***
         (three asterisks), ALL SUPPLIER CODES which DO NOT appear in
         positions 1 through 9 will be discounted by the 10th position
         setting. E.g customer ABC001 gets -15% on HND parts, and -20% on
         SUZ parts, and -8% on all other suppliers. Setup the grid as:-
                   1    2    3    4    5    6    7    8    9   10
         Supplier HND  SUZ                                     ***
         Discount -15  -20                                     -8
01-04-05 Accounts Payable: New Utility. In A/P (INS, 4, 6) there is now a
         utility which will list all saved Direct Deposit (last 500)
         remittance advices. Highlight a line a <enter> to view or print a
         copy of any saved remittance advice.
09-03-05 Accounts Payable: New Utility. In A/P (INS, 5, 7) there is now
         a utility which will list/print those Sales Units recorded as
         being still on Bailment (Floorplan) BUT which are no longer in
         stock. Should make it easy to check what is due to be paid, and
         how much, on sold stock.
09-03-05 Sales/Workshop: New utility. Users may now keep track of Sales
         Stock Units which are in the Workshop as Work In Progress.
         E.g. a trade being done up. See F4, 1, C to tick or untick
         units, or print a report. This utility can also be entered into
         the daily backup reports to print out as well as the normal
         WIP report. (Ring Kev Day for instructions)
01-02-05 New Utility: Spares - Clean up History and Pricing numbers.
         Occasionally a part number will get a history value which is
         larger than 1000 in a month, or a price that is a fractional
         number. This can make printing reports or adjusting orders
         difficult as these number will not fit into the space allocated.
         A new utility will go through every part and correct this problem.
         See F2, 7, L.
16-02-05 New Utility: Spares - Searching for a customers order number.
         If you ever need to search through the invoice file to find any
         invoices done using a particular customer order number, there is
         now a utility which will list them. See F2, 1, F.
16-02-05 New Feature: Spare Parts Reward Scheme. There is a new feature in
         Spares which will allow you to keep track of customer's purchases
         as reward points towards some form of incentive. If enable, the
         scheme will accumulate spares and accessory sales to customers.
         Depending on how it is set up, you can offer your customers an
         incentive scheme to keep them buying from you.
         See F2, 8, F for the setup and reporting utility.
         See How-To  "Spares - Reward Scheme" for detailed instructions.
28-01-05 New Feature: For those sites who may use a 'Bundy' clock to log
         Staff comings and goings, there is now a 'Bundy' clock system in
         ASSET. (Thanks Col Thomas). To enter the Sign-on section press
         <Shift>-<TAB>. Select your name and whether coming in or going out.
         The time will be recorded for you. Enter on the first line to add
         new staff member names. A report facility F11, E. lets you print
         out times from dates to dates and adds up the hours for each staff
         member.
25-01-05 Spares:- New utility in F2, 8, E. Allows users to save up to 3
         lines of default delivery instructions for a customer, which will
         print on Packing Slips. Saves having to type the same instructions
         every time. Can be typed over if needed.
18-01-05 New Utility:-  Pressing <Home> from the main ASSET menu will bring
         up a Staff Locater utility. This can have staff members names
         entered into it, and the status of any person (In or Out) can be
         quickly and easily updated. Should be handy for sites in larger
         or multiple buildings for letting others know of people's status.
13-01-05 Spares Invoicing:- A new utility exits which allows users to save
         4 lines of notes regarding freight instructions for each customer.
         If a customer has left instructions on how goods should be
         delivered (eg their courier and account number), you can write a
         note for this customer code which will pop-up when you get to the
         freight charge field when invoicing. See  F2, 8, D.
08-12-04 Sales:- New Quoting program. F4, 8. A new utility to prepare Sales
         quotes. These may be saved, reprinted, modified, deleted. A store
         of options, accessories, headers and footers can be created so that
         future quotes become easier to create. See How-To: Sales  - Quoting.
03-12-04 Spares Invoicing:- A new utility which will tidy up some of the
###      data files is available. See F2, 1, E.  A reminder will appear when
###      a spares invoice is done until this utility has been run. It should
###      only need to be run once. Once run, it will make backing up quicker
###      and printing & reprinting invoices faster.
29-11-04 Spares:- Invoice printing. If 'Packing Slip Only' or 'Invoice AND
         Packing Slip' is selected during printing, a window displays which
         will allow for the name and address on the Packing Slip to be
         changed. Often merchandise is invoiced to one customer for delivery
         to another site. This will allow for changing the address ONLY on
         the Packing/Delivery Slip. Also allows for an extra three lines of
         delivery instructions to be printed on the Packing Slip.
05-11-04 Customers:- In <shift>-<F1> transaction display, if a Spares or
         Rental Credit note is highlighted, you now have the option of
         viewing/printing the invoice OR the credit note.
29-10-04 Spares:- New report. Parts sales report for up to 20 suppliers
         selected from date to date. Similar to Branch Parts Sales report
         except it only uses the suppliers specified. See F2, 5, K.
25-10-40 Sales:- In Machine Maintenance (F4, 1, 1) when the parts (F5) or
         Sublets (F6) are listed, there is now an extra line at the bottom
         of the list which allows users to print the list.
07-10-04 Spares Picking System:- Pick lists are now saved. You may reprint a
         saved Picking Slip from the menu.  See F2, B, 9.
05-10-04 Spares Ordering:- New feature. There is now a facility to record
         customer details against part numbers, where the customer has
         indicated they require the part when stock arrives BUT where there
         has not been an 'on-order invoice' done. In F2, 2, 1 "Stock Enquiry"
         F6 now displays 'Outside Orders'. Add/Modify/Delete records of
         customers waiting on stock. You can invoice directly from this screen
         When this part is received on an order for Manual or Stock order,
         a reminder screen will display. F2, 2, C lets users display or print
         what parts have outside orders waiting.
         Adjust 'N'ext supplier's order will check to see if there are any
         pending 'Outside Orders' and display a reminder of what is pending
         and not ordered through on-order invoicing.
         See How-To: Spares Outside Orders.
01-10-04 Spares:- Change to Detailed Invoice Report. Report type '1' will now
         list the Retail Price, and the discount which the sell price was
         given, at the beginning of each parts line.  Will allow managers to
         quickly see what sort of discounts are be given out.
29-09-04 Spares:- New Report which lists parts which have less than the
         minimum qty on hand, for up to 20 selected suppliers. The report can
         be run from the menu, or inserted into the backup to report each
         day. See F2, 5, J for the report. See F2, 7, K for setting the
         suppliers to include in the check.
29-09-04 Spares:- Picking Lists. A new utility to create or edit a 5 line
         message that will print at the bottom of Picking Lists.
         See F2, B, 8.
29-09-04 Spares:- Picking System. New Utility to print out a Customer Picked
         Stock Checklist. If you uses the picking system for controlling
         consignment stock to customers, this is a good way to send them a
         count sheet to check what needs to be invoiced. See F2, B, 7
14-09-04 Spares:- New utility. Produce a report & spreadsheet file of all
         customers who have purchased parts from up to 10 individual suppliers
         from a start date to an end date. Print Summary - only customer

         See F2, 1, D.
08-09-04 Customers:- '?' Sales Search has been modified. It will now ask you
         for a length of time to go back (12 mth, 2 yr, 3 yr, all). It then
         searches the invoice files for each line (up to the time selected)
         and displays the list in most recent to oldest order. This is very
         accurate and by selecting a time frame much quicker than before,
         when it searched every invoice.
30-08-04 Postcodes:- A new search utility which allows users to enter a
         name and search for a postcode, OR enter a postcode and search for
         names. SEE    Main utils <TAB>,   F,   4.
25-08-04 ASSET MENU:- Slight change to ASSET menu. In the centre of the menu
         you will see a message indicating how many users   (other than
         the main PC) are running. Before re-booting check this message. If
         you need to view the user list and see what program each session is
         running currently, press the <END> key. If any user is not at the
         ASSET menu, they should be checked before re-booting. The list is
         updated every 10 seconds so you see an accurate picture of who is
         doing what.
24-08-04 GST:- The GST Pay ATO program has been changed. All entries that it
         used to skip (internal & notype) are now removed along with all
         correct entries, and stored in the payment file for that date. This
         will mean that instead of the collection file getting larger and
         larger, it will now only contain the entries which are still
         current and unpaid.
18-08-04 CRITICAL UPDATE:- Because of the changes to the print driver, the
###      web update program had to be enhanced. You MUST have done the
###      download and upgrade of the WEBUPDAT program before any new 30,60,90
###      day downloads. If not they will not have worked properly. See the
###      information on the web site.
18-08-04 Print Driver:- The print driver (list of printers to select from)
         has been modified. The E-MAIL option will now work for those sites
         who have THEO+NET installed and the E-mail setup. If an e-mail
         address is blank, the program will ask for the recipient address.
         If the sender address is blank, the program will ask for that to.
         If CONTROL.PID is set up correctly, the sender's address will be
         obtained automatically. See the how to on setting up CONTROL.PID.
11-08-04 Invoicing:- There is a new utility that can search through the cash
         sales file to find and list/display invoices whose customers match
         the search text.  See  F2, 1, C.
28-07-04 Banking:- The 'Cancel Bank Transaction' program has been rewritten.
         When money is applied to an account (F10,1,1), it is held in a
         temporary holding file until the 'TOT' entry is done. Until 'TOT'ing,
         these temporary entries (except UAC) can be deleted in case of a
         mistake on entering.  F10, 1, 4 'Cancel Bank Transaction' will now
         list the contents of the temporary holding file, and allow users to
         delete entries. Note that once deleted, the entries will not be
         applied to an account, and MUST be re-entered correctly through
         F10,1,1.
         Note also that deleted entries are recorded for future reference.
22-07-04 W/S Jobs:- The print driver is now in 'Create New Job' so that users
         can select whether to print a job sheet or not, and to which printer.
         Some spacing changes have been made to make job sheets easier to
         read.
###      If the jobsheet runs over a single page, you may have to adjust the
###      the 'Lines to Skip' value in CONTROL.MEDATA
25-06-04 Wages:- The new tax rates applying to year 2004-05 are now installed
         Up until the 30-06-2004 the old rates apply. After 01-07-2004 the
         new rates apply automatically.
21-04-04 How-To's:-  There is a new utility for searching How-To files for a
         Key Word or Phrase. E.g. if you wanted to find any How-To which
         included the phrase "BACK ORDER", you would enter that phrase into
         the search and a list of all How-To's with a match would display.
         Each entry on the list can be displayed or printed, and then you
         return to the list.  See   H  How-To button, entry 4 "SEARCH"
17-03-04 Sales:- A possible problem has been identified if the customer ID
         on a Sales Invoice is changed. Because GST claims on trade-ins are
         calculated based on the ABN of the customer who takes delivery,
         changing that customer at the end of invoicing could mean that GST
         would be calculated wrongly. From now on, the customer ID used to
         get into sales invoicing MUST be the ID which takes delivery or
         who is trading. If the ABN or ID is changed, a warning is displayed
         and the invoice will have to be re-entered. Please choose carefully.
         The Finance ID (first ID selected when invoicing) can be changed
         to any customer (or left the same) without affecting GST.
17-03-04 Customers:- When F10 (sales invoicing) is selected from within the
         customer display, a warning box displays emphasising the need to
         ensure that the customer selected will be the person who takes
         delivery, or from whom you will be trading. The possible GST
         implications are that a claim will be made at the time of invoicing,
         instead of when the trade is sold.
10-03-04 Menu:- Due to the increasing number of Debtor utilities, I have
         re-arranged the debtors menu into two groups. They are Debtors -
         Search Utils  and Debtors - Setup utils. See F10, 7 &  F10, 8.
10-03-04 Debtors:- New utility to search debtors for an amount. search will
         find a value (within +- 20c) for a single entry, a total balance,
         or a 30, 60, 90, current, UAC balance. See F10, 7, 4
04-03-04 Banking: Reprint banking reports program re-written. Now lists every
         day when banking was done. Select a day, and a list of all banking
         reports for that day is displayed. Print or display the report, then
         return to list for other selection. No more having to go back in
         after each view and remember where you were up to.
03-03-04 GST: A new utility which can reproduce the BAS report for any saved
         payment. A payment is saved when the 'Pay GST to ATO' function is
         used. Unlike the 'Report on Paid" function, this utility uses the
         actual entries saved for a payment, no matter what period they were
         originally entered. This should be handy for sites using floorplan
         as many floorplan inputs are from entries months prior to being able
         to claim them.
13-02-04 A/P: When a purchase is done through A/P, it will now check the
         invoice date to make sure it is in the current financial year. If
         not it will warn you, as this will put the G/L out of balance.
13-02-04 Spares:- Picking Slip will now print the comments that were put
         into the invoicing section. The comments are printed, but not saved
         into the Picking System.
29-01-04 Sales Invoicing:- New utility. When a sales invoice is done using
         a finance company ID (first id on invoice), it has been hard to
         keep track of the invoices waiting to be paid. There is now a
         utility (F4, 4, 7) which can search the debtor files for sales
         invoices which were done to a finance company and are still yet to
         be paid and list/print them.
         (See How-To:  Sales  Finance outstanding).
22-01-04 Spares Quotes:- The Delete Quotes program has been updated. It is now
         possible to 'tick' all unwanted quotes on file and delete the ticked
         quotes all at once. Should make keeping the quote file tidy, much
         easier.  See F2, 4, 3.
21-01-04 Cheques/Direct deposits:- If a cheque is drawn to pay floorplan, the
         trust receipt number will print on the remittance.
21-01-04 Floorplan:- When passing a sales unit to floorplan, it now asks for
         the Invoice Date & Due Date. By default it uses current date and
         plus 90 days for due date.
09-01-04 Payroll:- New utility that allows users to reprint any pay slip for
         an individual employee. Select employee from the list, then select
         the date of the pay slip to reprint. See F11, C.
08-01-04 A/P:- change to due date utility (see 11-12-03 below). Now asks
         for type (A O F H) and Supplier and Date range to display.
         See INS, 5, 6.
06-01-04 A/P:- Hold & Release - Print List now has the print driver feature
         installed. The list also now includes invoice totals and a line
         seperating each new invoice number.
17-12-03 P&L:- New How-To explaining control record setup and modification.
         Changes to record control program making it much easier to setup
         or modify the P&L control file and report printout. See HowTo P&L
11-12-03 Financial:- New utility to analyse the costs breakdown of the
         Rental Department based on the Charges Report figures. See F1, 5, D
11-12-03 Payments:- New utility to break up the creditors invoices into due
         now, due within 7 days, due within 30 days, due within 60 days,
         due within 90 days, and the rest. Invoices can be listed by All,
         only Floorplan, only Held or only Open. Floorplan invoices go by
         due date OR if the unit has been sold. See INS, 5, 6
10-12-03 Sales:- The search in F4,1,1 now prints the date received and number
         of days an item has been in stock if 'S' is selected for the search.
10-12-03 Sales:- Stock Sales report F4,4,1 now prints the number of days a
         unit was in stock for, as at the date it was sold.
25-11-03 Spares Invoices: A new utility for those sites who have rolled the
         Spares invoice numbers over after reaching 99,999. The utility will
         search the invoice transaction file for old records which do not
         relate to the current invoice number, and remove them. See F2, 1, B.
24-11-03 Spares Quotes:- New feature. There is now a utility to edit/create
         a 5 line message that will print on quotes (instead of the Invoice
         message). Use it to list any features, limitations on the quotes
         printed through spares.  See F2, 4, 4.
21-11-03 Customers. The new display of customer transactions (shift-F1) has
         had the ability to "tick" items for adding to the Kill list by
         highlighting the line and pressing F11. This should make the process
         much quicker.
11-11-03 Sales:- Machine Maintenance. pressing F5 to display parts booked to
         a machine, now also checks the order file to see if there are any
         parts still on order, or not booked to a unit.
         In searching, you can now use a ? as a wildcard in the search string.
         E.g.   HND???123  will search for any occurence of HND and any three
         characters followed by 123, such as HNDxxx123 or HNDabc123 etc.
         The ? wildcard must be inside the search text, and can only be used
         once. E.g. HND???123?XYZ  is invalid.
17-10-03 Spares Orders:- New report utility. F2, 3, E. Report on orders from
         start to end date. On all/customer/daily/stock/manual orders.For
         all customers/only jobs/only sales/single customer. All suppliers or
         a single supplier.  Lists results with totals, which can be printed.
         Handy for analysing sales/purchases etc.

         <shift-F1> current invoices - now in a choice box. Scroll up or down
         the list. Enter on item for options. Modify invoice number can be
         used on UAC entries to apply money. <F3> display payments in choice
         box. Scroll up or down. Enter on line to display/reprint invoices.
         <F2> search - can now search all (*) customers OR just in one Pick ID
         When a customer is selected from the search list, an option 'B' for
         'Back to search list' appears. You may go back and forward from the
         search list checking each customer. Saves having to re-search all
         over again.
07-10-03 Debtors: Reprint statements (F10, 7, 7). Those sites with THEO-FAX
         now have the option to disable automatic faxing of statements to any
         customer set up with 'Fax statements = Y'. This will allow reprints
         to print to a printer and not auto fax. Does not change the fax
         status for normal EOM statements.
07-10-03 Debtors: Statement messages (F10, 7, 9) to reduce search times you
         can now enter the Pick ID (first three letters) at the customer ID
         search, and a list of all customers with that Pick ID will appear
         for selection.
25-09-03 Spares: New report for invoices sold to W/S. You may specify the
         start/end dates, start/end invoice numbers, job type/all, customer

         Ledger. Checks the history file against the current G/L and displays
         a list of entries not found. Can then replace them into the G/L

11-09-03 GST. New utility to list all entries existing in the GST file for
         a particular date. Useful if trying to track down GST going out
         of balance. See Main, I, E.
11-09-03 Customers. When a customer type (1 to 7) is changed, the system now
         records the changed type and date. There is a new utility to
         list/print changes made. See F10, 7, L.
29-08-03 Spares:- New Feature. When invoicing, at the Sell price field,

         number & supplier.

         & end date. See F2, B, 6.

         system record all transactions, there is a new utility which can
         display/print all occurrences where a part has been 'picked' out
         of the picking system and 'cancelled' back into parts stock.
         See F2, B, 5.
18-08-03 G/L:- New utility to quickly analyse the Audit Report and display
         a printable list of those codes which are out of balance.
         See F1, 5, C.

         parts for a supplier code. Select from 1 to 12 months, and from
         50 to 500 parts to list.  See F2, 2, B.
12-08-03 Workshop:- For those sites who use Job Types (see Note 28-07-03),
         There is now a sales report where a Job Type is specified. The
         report will only list those jobs that match that category. NOTE
         the report will also list Restructures. You can subtract (or add)
         this figure to get only the sales results. See F3, 9.
11-08-03 Spares :- Passing for payment now allows for invoice date & due
         date to be entered, so that hold and release will be correct.

         to enable/disable the ability for parts to be placed onto daily
         orders for individual suppliers.  In the case of overseas or
         infrequent suppliers, you may want to limit the ability for the
         invoice program to add parts to a daily order. If so, go to the
         'C'onfigure option in suppliers and enter through to the comments.
         A window will display with the option to stop daily ordering.
30-07-03 Spares:- Gift certificates. A new utility to allow users to alter
         the description of a gift certificate that is printed on the invoice.

         be forced, this will stop them and allow the users to reconnect.
11-07-03 File Tidy:- There is a new utility in F8, 2, B  which will quickly
         erase some of the many unnecessary files that can build up over time.
07-07-03 Messages:- The messaging system has been re-written. It is now
         possible to write a message to any user on the ASSET system. When
         a new message is received, a warning window will keep appearing
         until the message is viewed. The system uses the setup of users
         in CONTROL.PID control file.  If this is set up properly, a list
         of all users (with those "online" shown) is displayed.
         See the How-To: Using Message system - for usage rules.
         See the How-To: Setting up CONTROL.PID - for setting up users.
         See the How-To: Editor - Quick guide - for using the editor.
01-07-03 Wages:- Income tax rates have changed (as per government legisl'n)

         deduction type called T+.  This is for Tool Allowance.  It will
         include the tool allowance in the super calculation, and will
         print "Tool Allowance" on reports and payslips. It is saved in the
         G/L with a reference of "ADDTOOL"  so it can be searched.
03-06-03 Spares:- Invoice/ordering. A new feature which can be enabled or
         disabled, which allows users to add notes on the order, when parts
         are added to an order through invoicing. See F2, 3, D.
23-05-03 Sublets:- Searching. The search sublets program has been revised.
         You can now use it to find sublets that have not yet been received.
         If there is no invoice number & no packing slip number, the program
         assumes that the sublet is still outstanding. See F3, 6, 3.
22-05-03 Workshop:- Maintaining. The list of Jobs in progress shown at the
         start of the Maintenance screen now includes the Model. Also the
         bottom line of the screen gives more details about the job number
         highlighted in the choice box. It should make it easier to find
         jobs by having more than just the number & name displayed.
22-05-03 Layby:- A new utility (F2, 2, A) to set the default Layby Account
         ID. When enabled, the spares invoicing and displaying programs
         will check for parts on layby and display the total (if any).
19-05-03 Debtors:- Statements. For sites who use the customer picking
         system, there is now the ability to print a list of parts held in
         Pick, ON the EOM statement.  To enable the printing of picked parts
         on the statement, use F10, 7, K.
17-05-03 Spares:- Customer backorders. The backorder search/print program
         has been enhanced. It is MUCH quicker. It can also now report on
         a single customer, all customers, only workshop jobs, or only sales
         units. It can also search for only orders not yet received or all
         orders (received or not) and not yet picked up. See F2, 8, 5.
16-05-03 Spares:- Docket printing. The docket printing program now uses a
         file called "help.asset.docdec" to add an extra message to the
         bottom of an invoice. Users may edit this file to make up their
         own message, or erase the lines to have no extra message.
13-05-03 Sales:- The ability to add a loading to the cost price of Sales
         stock has been enhanced so that the default loading on indivual
         items can be varied. Run the Enable loading program and select
         I for individual pricing. The default amount applies UNLESS a
         different value has been setup.
08-03-03 Workshop:- Invoicing. When a job is to be invoiced, backorders
         & sublets were checked. It may have meant that the job could only
         be reported on. NOW it also checks to see if there are any parts in
         the picking system. Also, if a job cannot be invoiced there is a
         menu selection on the report menu for listing the reasons why. This
         may help make determining why jobs cannot be invoiced, a bit easier.
08-03-03 Spares:- Invoicing.  A new feature in invoicing. When completing
         an invoice and you wish to apply a discount press D. BUT now, if
         you wish to increase the prices (eg. a credit card surcharge),
         you can put in a NEGATIVE (minus) discount, and answer the credit
         card question Y.   NOTE a negative discount without Y for credit
         card means use the COST PRICE PLUS the Discount.
03-05-03 Spares:- Ordering. A new utility which will list backorders for one
         or all suppliers. Each entry on the list can be selected and the
         status changed to ?C (meaning canceled). This will allow users to
         tidy up their long lists of outstanding orders, and make it easier
         to keep a track of them using backorder reports.
29-04-03 Spares:- Picking System. Some sites have requested that order
         numbers be returned when parts are collected from the Picking
         System. It is now possible to record every use of the picking
         system OR pick up the existing order numbers. To enable the
         recording use F2, B, 4.
24-04-03 Debtors:- Auto Account Keeping Fee. The utility to allow users to
         automatically invoice debtor accounts an account keeping fee, has
         been updated for GST.  If the utility is enabled, and debtor accounts
         setup, an invoice can be auto generated depending on the criteria
         selected during account configuration. See How-To Customers -
         Account Keeping Fee.
23-04-03 Creditors:- Direct deposits. A change to the Prepare Direct
         Deposits program. Now when payments are prepared, a text file
         called "LASTDIR.DEPOSITS" is created. This file contains a list
         of the suppliers and their payments. This file can be used to
         provide a list for remittances or to pick up details of payments
         if a system problem stops the printout. The file will remain until
         the next time deposits are prepared.
15-04-03 Spares:- Customers orders. When a gift certificate has been
         placed on an order, and is 'picked up', it will now be called
         GIFT CERT PICKUP instead of GIFT CERTIFICATE.  This will mean
         that it will no longer be automatically removed if the invoice
         is added to or ESCed from. If other items are added to the invoice
         for order the normal gift certificate sequence will still work.
14-04-03 Workshop:- Restructure. The workshop restructure program now
         includes a dislpay of how a job was paid for (as from now) &
         includes the cashdraw routine. You can now restructure cash
         jobs and return the money etc. and it will be in the cashdraw
         for ticking. Pick No. 4 if the credit is to be left on the
         customer account.
14-04-03 Upgrades:- The Dealquip web site now has a 720days.exe (last 2
         years). This has been implemented for those sites that can't or
