Release Notes
2021 6.51
v6.51 New/Revisions
1.WebStore. Coupons for WebStore. Select Setup > Coupons to set up coupons that
can be added during the WebStore checkout process. You can limit the
coupons to meet a minimum total, have an expiration date, and limit
one per customer. Enjoy!
2. Remit To Addresses by Store. You can now enter a “Remit To” address
for each Store. This is found on the Store Form > General Tab >
Remit Tab. The Remit To address will print on the invoice and
an Account Statement when Run for a Single Store.
3. AutoCreate Purchase Orders. Two new features have been added to the
AutoCreate selection options (1) Include “WebStore items that need
fulfillment” so you can choose when to include eCommerce items, and
(2) When creating PO’s based on “Items sold within a date range”,
you can select “Include special order items” to add items sold that
were delivered from a special order, or was a special order item on a
“Sale”. Previously special order items were not included.
4. WebStore Stock Status Requirements. In order to add items to the Cart
some setting require you to have the item in stock, the vendor to
have stock, or for vendors without VStock, the item must be available
for ordering. If you use the “stock” setting of “Do Not Show Stock
Levels” you do not have to have stock in the store if you have the option
set to show items that can be ordered as available on-line. Previously
you could add an item to the cart with these settings if VStock was
set to required and was not available, but you had stock in the store.
In this scenario, you can no longer add an item without VStock. If Vstock
is required, stock in the store when it is turned off is no longer
required.
5. Web Server and WebStore Improvements.
- An “active” shopper count is now displayed in the bottom right of the WebStore
footer, and in the POS application’s status bar at the bottom of the
application – look for the work “Active”. Customers browsing the Web Store
that have been active (i.e. clicking) in the last 5 minutes are considered
an “active shopper”. - Some WebStore descriptions found in the vendor provided detailed descriptions
were including unreadable characters. - The vendor stock level/status was not properly displaying if an item was
“Available Online” or “Not Available Online” in some conditions. In these
cases the value was blank. - The messages that indicates the WebStore is in a maintenance operation
now display the Web Store’s standard logo and with improved formatting. - All Web Server monitoring and logging has been improved for details and speed.
- The Web Server Restart Monitor now checks every 30 seconds to see if the
Web server is active. - The Web Server was increasing the amount of memory it used over time and could
eventually restart under heavy load. This has been fixed. - Some background management tasks in the Web Server could hang under heavy
traffic. Fixed now. - The WebStore’s active thread limit was not scaling to the maximum numbers of
threads as expected. Fixed now. - Removed restrictions that could reduce the response time to view product information
under heavy load.
6. SalesTax.INI Additions for the WebStore. The WebStore can now use the SalesTax.INI
file to set the taxable status of items based on the pickup location or the
shipping destination during the WebStore checkout process.
Within the [Department] section, you can set the state code and whether or not
items in the department should be taxable or not.
**Note: When using the state code entries to set the taxable staus, you must set
the XX option in the [#ALL#] section to set the default for all ship to statuses.
[#All#] – Section name to set the tax status for all items in the store
Store1=T – T sets all items in store 1 to Taxable (Applies to In-Store Pickup)
Store2=NT – NT sets all items in store 2 to Not Taxable (Applies to In-Store Pickup)
MN=T – T sets all items with the state code “MN” to Taxable (Applies to a ShipTo Destination)
WI=NT – NT sets all items with the state code “WI” to Not Taxable (Applies to a ShipTo Destination)
XX=T – T sets all items without matching any other state code to Taxable (Applies to a ShipTo Destination)
or
XX=NT – NT sets all items without matching any other state code to Not Taxable (Applies to a ShipTo Destination)
[ACC]

7. Email Password Length. Email passwords can now be saved up to 100 characters.
8. Packing List and Sub-Accounts. A sub-account’s phone number now prints on packing
lists.
9. EasyWorks Connected Updates. EasyWorks has updated their EDI and VStock Servers
plus their product image location. EasyWorks now supports multi-view images and
color swatches. This update is required for all connected functionality.
10. Landua WebStore Descriptions. Landua is now supporting automatic Detailed Descriptions
and Care Instructions on the Item Details Page.
11. WebStore Billed Amount. Entering a Gift Card when using a Store Charge
reduced the amount to Bill by the Gift Card amount. Instead it is ideal
to change the amount to pay on credit card. This is now fixed.
12. Cash Flow and Journal Entry Reports. Added an option to combine Credit and Debit Card
payment totals that are broken out by card type (Visa, Master Card, Amex, Discover,
and Debit) by default. Just check the option “Combine credit and debit card payment
methods”.
13. UniformPay for Desktop. If the internet connection drops momentarily in Sales
Entry while completing a credit card transaction at the terminal, Sales Entry
might be unaware that a transaction was completed on the terminal. This
process has been improved to recheck with the Payment Gateway to see if the payment
was processed after a timeout with the terminal occurs. If so, the transaction
and payment are saved as expected and no further action is required.
14. Customer Email Address. Fixed a regression that limited the customer email
length on the Customer Form to 60 characters. Fixed to allow 120 characters.
15. WebStore and New 3rd Party Billing Headings. When a sub-account is checking out
and Billing Options are presented, we now show both (1) The 3rd Party / Employer
Billing name and address, plus (2) a new heading titled “My Billing Information”.
On the Shipping Information step, there is a new heading that says “My Name and
Shipping Address”.
16. UniformPay Reconciliation and Portal. The UniformPay portal did not properly display
MID’s for “Remote Stores”. The same was true for Deposit Reconciliation. Both
are fixed now.
15. Save to PDF and Exports. Cloud versions no longer display files in a folder
when saving a PDF. This is also true when exporting items on a PO or Rec List.
17. Update Store Form. The Update Store Form was not refreshing the Access Tab when
the Store Changed from Local to Remote. This also prevented fixing an invalid
store entry.
18. Store and User Forms. These forms could require a valid store entry to “Cancel”
the Form if “Selected stores for all activities” was selected. Fixed now.
19. Cash Flow Report. The report did not always consider the Credit Card Group properly.
Fixed Now.
20. Sales Entry Vstock Column. This column was too small for some dates. Fixed
now.
21. WebStore Carding Attack Prevention. Carding attacks are used to determine the
credentials required to use a Credit Card like the zip code and the Card Security
code. The website has improved the Captcha to prevent this.
