Liberty4 2.5a Release Notes
2955
 Updated the "error" message that is encountered when attempting to pay an
individual Client, but the Group Payout process is already in use. It now reads
"There is currently a group payout in progress (Activities > Accounting Account
Payments). In order to pay this client using the "Pay Client" routine, you must
completed the group payout or clear the check run from the group payouts screen."
3060 We have added "Category" as on of the filters for Reports > Bulk Tag Printing.
3078 We have added the ability to change the "Payout Date" when running Group Payouts.
This allows you to specify what the payout date is, whether it be a date in the
future or the past.
3111 We have added a default for "Fee Frequency" under Tools > Options > Accounts.
3118 The "Backspace" key now functions when attempting to delete/modify a Serial
Number in Liberty. Up until now, only the "Delete" button worked.
3123 We have the ability to print or not print the "Cost" on price tags.
3171 The Store Name can no longer be changed from Tools > Options. When this is
edited, it will bring the program back into DEMO Mode. It was too easy for an
employee to go there and make a change, even if it was accidental.
3206 Having a Price Code with "Variable Rate Based on Time" set to "Months," with the
highest month set to "999999" will no longer generate errors when ringing up an
item at POS.
3207 Training Mode database has been updated to clear up errors when adding items,
deleting categories, etc.
3271 On POS Credit Card receipts, only the last 4-digits of the card number will print
on the receipt.
3610 All Liberty products ship with Microsoft SQL Server MSDE (Desktop Engine). This
database engine is the same as the "full-blown" SQL Standard, but has a few key
differences. One of those being that the database has a maximum capacity of 2 GB. Once it reaches this limit, no additional records can be added. This means no
sales, no items, etc. Even if you try to purge or run the RWMaint.exe
maintenance routine, it will not run since both of these utilities require a
small amount of free space in order to run.

Because of this, we have added a "prompt" into the software. When the database
reaches 1.8GB, you will see a prompt asking you to contact Resaleworld.com
Software Support every time you open Liberty Inventory. There is also a menu
option to start the Purge Utility.

This message will only appear for those users that are still running SQL MSDE.
If you are running your own full-installation of SQL Standard, you will not see
this prompt as SQL Standard does not have a 2GB database limit.
 
3824 Matched all "instances" of the word "eBay" under Tools > Ecommerce Options to
show as "eBay" instead of "Ebay."
3832 Certain eBay Categories were downloading Item Specifics/Attributes that showed as
"SIFFTAS Group Pseudo Attribute." While this in no way impacted the
functionality of Liberty, it didn't need to be displayed. These have been
suppressed in this latest release.
3898 In Liberty POS, under Setup > Maintain Payment Types, these are now sorted
alphabetically.
4469 There is now a feature under Tools > Ecommerce Options > General for "Use
Proximity Search." This allows eBay buyers/shoppers to search for items "near"
or within a certain amount of miles from the Zip Code in which the item was
listed from.
4494 If you have an item in Web Items > Not Ready and it is accidentally sold in POS,
if you refund it, it will re-appear in Web Items > Not Ready. In previous
versions, the item would only show in Inventory.
4495 In Web Items, you can no longer right-click an Active/Relisted Web Item and
"Remove From Web Items." This prevents the accidental removal of currently
"live" auctions.
4505 In Web Items, when you right-click on an item, there used to be an option for
"unlist Item." This was kind of misleading as it doesn't "Unlist" the item from
eBay, it simply removes it from Web Items. We have changed this to read "Remove
From Web Items."
4534 When clicking the column header for a column in the Account List (i.e., Company,
First Name, etc.), it will now sort without having to click it twice.
4565 We have added the "Description" column back in Retail accounts. We also changed
"Name" to be "Item Title."
4567 4567 You can no longer remove a customer from an existing Layaway.
4586 Customers had reported seeing "href" tags being removed from the HTML tab within
Web Items when pasting in full pages of HTML code. The HTML Editor module has
been updated and it appears to have resolved this issue.
4589 Now when you add a new "Level 3 Category" during Item Entry, the category will be
available for use without having to close out of Liberty completely.
4590 When printing tags there is a "Print Only Items Received Today" button. This
allows you to only print items added to Liberty Inventory on today's date. If
you closed out of Liberty completely though and then tried to use this feature
again, it did not "remember" which items to print. This feature is now available
even after closing and restarting Liberty.
4602 When using F9 - Account Lookup in POS, the "default" will now stick for whichever
option you have set as default.
4603 In POS under Setup, the option for "Use Pay Delay for Total Owed" will now "stick
." If you have it checked, it will remain checked through each sale and even
when restarting POS. It will stay off or un-checked until it is selected again.
4605 Under Activities > Accounting > Change Payment Accounts, it now shows "Current
Payment" account and then "New Payment Account" instead of just "Payment Account."
4607 Upon a new installation of Liberty, the Description column and the Disposition
column (within tab #2 - Inventory) were way too large. These have now been
adjusted to a more reasonable length.
4608 During Item Entry, when using F2 to select a category, there is a little "arrow"
next to the category being selected. When you continue on to the next item, the
little arrow would default next to the "Level 3" category last selected. In L2K2
however, this little arrow would default to the "Level 1" last selected. Many
customers reported this added extra keystrokes to the item entry process.
4611 You can now delete Zip Codes in L4C. To do so, you must open any account from
the Account list and then head to Task > Maintenance > Zip Codes.
4612 If you are editing a Price Code such as letter "Z," once you saved it, the Price
Code screen would jump back to Price Code A. It now stays put at the Price Code
you are one when you click save.
4614 Editing Price Codes for "Variable Rate" is now sticking/saving and not impacting
any other Price Codes.
4616 Payout screen(s) now takes into account any Payout Fees. Check always printed
the correct amounts, but the "preview" would not reflect the Payout Fees.
4629 We have re-added the "Tag Name" field during the Setup Wizard.
4630 Tax Exempt within the Account Detail is now working. When you ring a sale in POS
and select a customer that has Tax Exempt info. entered on their account, it will
exempt the tax from the sale.
4632 Fixed the "Image Server not specified" error that was appearing during the Setup
Wizard on new installations.
4635 The "refresh" button in the Reports Preview has been added back in. This is the
one with the little "lightning bolt" on it.
4637 If you have a tax exempt sale in POS, add a payment of "Store Credit" and then
remove that payment, the sale will now stay at tax exempt.
4640 Legacy items that were in L2K2 and are still in L4C will no longer create a
"payable transaction" for items that are Posted as Returned, Donated, etc. Any
items that were Posted as such and that had payable transactions will have their
transaction reversed and will display this reversal on the Transactions tab.

If you have already countered this by deducting money from an account, you would
need to credit money back as this update is creating a deduction/reversal of its
own.
4642 Word Processor now allows the printing of more than 1 page. Also, if you try to
print from within the document, it is no longer generating "Stream Read" errors.
 
4646 If you had both "prompt for employee login" AND "prompt for customer" enabled,
this would bring up the employee login first. If you didn't login quick enough
though, the "Select Account" window would pop to the front. I you then tried to
add a new customer before logging in, this was generating "Insert Statement
Conflict" warnings. This has been addressed in this release.
4647 If you have the "prompt for customer" option enabled in POS, when adding a new
customer, it now takes you directly into POS. In prior versions of L4C, you had
to scroll down and select the new customer before you could continue on with the
sale.
4665 We have added a new option under Tools > Ecommerce Options > General for
"Required Link PayPal." This allows you to list items that will require a PayPal
account and require that it be linked to their eBay account.
4669 Changed RWScript.exe to RWDBAttach.exe since that is more accurate.
4678 The Reports for Profit By Brand, Sales By Category and Sales By Customer are now printing.
