Liberty4 2.6b Release Notes

(release highlights are in red)
3278 Resolved issue with items that were added in POS via "Quick Add" being picked up in Bulk Tag Printing.
3662 Resolved issue with "Avg. Profit" showing $0.00 on the Accounts Productivity report. Each item/detail now show the correct "Avg. Profit."
4023 Resolved spelling mistake under Post Items when posting items as "Donated" that
are not allowed to be Donated. The prompt used to read "Donatation not allowed
for this item."
4026 Resolved issue with every other tag showing "Retail @" and "Retails @." Both/all
tags will now show "Retails @" if a Retail Price is entered for the item(s).
4111 The on-screen amounts in Terminal Totals was showing double the dollar amount for
Layaway Payments - i.e., a Check for $5 showed as $10. The actual data written to the database was correct and the amount on reports was correct, just not the on-screen display.
4144 Resolved decimal place issue for Item List w/ Totals. If the Cost of an item was $1,000.50, it would only show $1,000.
4215 Resolved a small mistake under Item Lookup for the word "Tracking" - it used to show "TRacking."
4276 Resolved issue with "Ready" Web Items not moving from "Ready" if the item was posted via Activities > Inventory > Post Items. The item would in fact post as "Returned" or "Donated," but the item wouldn't leave the "Ready" tab - you had to right-click and choose "Remove from Web Items."
4395 Resolved issue in POS > ctrl + Insert (Item Quick Add) with "F2" not bringing up the "Select Category" window. You could still type in a Category or select from the drop-down menu, but the "F2" function is a nice way to get a visual of which Categories you have to select from.
4475 Resolved issue with EOD Sales Detail generating a 534 Error if the filter for "Cashier" was used.
4659 Added "Account Number" to Item List Sales Recap.
4743 Resolved spelling mistake on the eBay Authorization Utility - this used to read "...and you have CLICK "Close Window" in your browser."
4774 Resolved issue with Group Payouts including items that had been sold, returned and then sold again (on a different, later date). Example: item first sold on 9/1, was returned on 9/2 and then sold again on 9/10. If you ran the Group Payouts routine for "Items Sold Between 1980 and 9/2", the item would be included on the Payout.
4862 The Microsoft Outlook Export was "defaulting" to User Field 7 = "asdasdf" after running an update. Since this User Field is so low on the list, if you didn't scroll down, you might not see that this filter was set. Since not many people have "asdasdf" in User Field 7 on an Account, the report would return no results. Once you cleared this and set it to "All", the report was fine.
4950 Resolved issue with "Access Violations" when attempting to "Mark As Shipped" for a Retail Vendor's items.
4980 Application Security Level for "Change Account #" is now being enforced.
4984 Resolved issue with "The column prefix 'RI' does not match with a table or alias name used in the query" error when printing tags in a Retail Vendor account. The tags would still print, but an error message is always alarming.
4986 Fixed a spelling mistake in POS when running X-Charge credit card transactions. "Expiration" was spelled "Experation."
4990 Resolved issue with "Reserve Price" not being sent on a Relist. If an item was first listed with a $20 Reserve Price, didn't sell, and was then Relisted with a $0.00 Reserve Price, the Reserve Price would still show as $20 on the Relisted item. In relation to this issue, if you attempted to increase the Starting Bid past what the Reserve Price was, it would generate errors since it "remembered" the Reserve from the first listing.
4991 Resolved issue when adding items to an account that had been "de-activated," an error message displaying "Line 6: Incorrect syntax near 'INACTIVE_TS'" would appear. The account would also not re-activate. Granted, you could always re-activate the account first, but the functionality to do so was there, it was just generating errors.
4993 Resolved "Ambiguous column name 'MODIFIED_TS'" error when sorting a Client's inventory list by the "Last Update" column.
4996 Resolved an issue in "Add Account" with not being able to select a Zip Code/City/State if there were multiple entries with the same Zip Code. An example would be. if you had 22222, New York, NY, 22223, New York, NY and 22224, New York, NY, you would never be able to select the 22223 or 22224 Zip Code/City/State combination.
4998 Resolved issue with "Brand" printing twice on the "Regular Tags" and the "Both (2 Tags)" Tag Styles.
5000 Resolved issue with Microsoft Outlook Export returning all accounts, regardless of if they had an email address or not, when using the "Has Email = Yes" filter.
5001 Items that are "Active" and show a status of "Relisted" can now be ended early using the right-click > "End Listing Now" feature.
5002 Resolved issue with items not "removing" from Web Items that are no longer "found" on eBay.
5003 Resolved spelling mistake in the "End My Listing" dialog - "has bee moved to Not Ready" now reads "Item xxxxx changed to "Not Ready."
5006 Resolved issue with not being able to simply hit "Enter" on your keyboard to open an account that was highlighted/selected in the Account List.
5007 Resolved issue with POS allowing Layaways for Clients/Customers that did not have "Allow Layaways" selected in their Account Detail.
5008 In a Client account, on the Inventory tab, if an item is highlighted/selected and you hit "Enter" on your keyboard, it opens the item immediately. Previously, hitting enter "tabbed" away from the selected item and to the "Void" button. If you hit "Enter" again, you would be prompted to "Void" the item.
5009 Made "No" the default/selected button if you click "Void Item" on the Inventory tab of a Client's account. It is too easy to accidentally hit "Yes" and void an item if you don't catch it quick enough.
5015 Enhanced the "End Listing Now" feature in Web Items so it will no longer end listings that already have bids on them. eBay's API does not support "End Listing Now" + canceling bids. When you end an item through the API, it automatically sells the item to the highest bidder. eBay's API also does not support the canceling of bids. Thus, if you use "End Listing Now" in Web Items, it will only end listings for items that have no bids on them. If the items have bids, the listing will not be cancelled and the log file for the item(s) in question will show "Item xxxxxx has bids and cannot be closed."

Thus, if you need to end a listing early and you do in fact want to sell to the
highest bidder, you would need to so on eBay's Web site.

Here are the details directly from eBay's documentation...

"The EndItem call will end an auction item with no bids or a fixed price item. If you end an auction with bids it will sell to the highest bidder. "

"The canceling of bids is not an API supported feature. All auction items which have bids will end with the high bidder as the winning bidder when an item is ended. Therefore you need to be very careful when using the EndItem API call. If your intention is to remove the listing entirely, you should first cancel all bids on the item, and then end the item.

In order to cancel bids, you need to use the following eBay site URL:

http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?CancelBidShow
5020 Resolved issue with Transaction tab reflecting an incorrect amount for "Total Payable." This was being caused by items that were sold and then returned that also fell into the Pay Delay range. The POS reflected the correct amount owed when selling to a "Customer", but the Transaction tab showed an incorrect amount.
5024 Resolved issue with "Local Pickup Only > Free " errors. You can now set your Shipping Profiles back to Shipping Type = "Free" and Shipping Service = "Local Pickup/Delivery."
5031 Resolved issue with the Title not updating if you changed any of the Attributes for items that were "Quick Copied."
5038 Fixed spelling mistake on the Item List w/ Totals and the Item List w/o Totals. Description was spelled "Description."
5039 We moved the "Sub Title" field to the top of the list in Item Specifics, for the eBay Motors Marketplace. eBay Motors and eBay are two completely different "sites". There is no true "Title" for eBay Motors. Even though there is a "Title" field on eBay's Web site when preparing items for eBay Motors, that still does not become your actual "Title" - only the "Sub Title". In addition to that, they do not provide a field online for "Sub Title". Thus, the labels on eBay's Web site are a bit confusing and technically incorrect. Now, in their API, they have things correct. They pass the "Sub Title" down as part of the "Item Specifics" since it is completely different than the literal "Title" and "Sub
Title" fields used for regular eBay listings.
5041 We have added "Non-Payable" transactions to the Accounts Payable report (Obligation report). While Non-Payable transactions will not be included on a check run, they are still "liabilities." Thus, this report allows you to see all moneys "owed", regardless of them being payable or not. Only Payable amounts will "total" up and Non-Payable amounts will be indicated by an asterisk (*) next to them.
5047 Resolved issue in POS that prevented a customer from using the exact amount owed when using Store Credit. If the customer had $10 available, they could only use up to $9.99.
5048 If you have a customer selected in POS, enter a Store Credit payment and then decide to remove that payment, the "Total Owed As Of..." at the top will now "refresh" back to the amount owed prior to entering the payment.
5050 Resolved a rounding issue in POS when using Price Code Markdowns.
5053 Resolved issue with "Void Sale" for a sale that had "Store Credit" Payment Types. When the sale was voided, it was not crediting the money back to the Client's account.
5055 Resolved issue in POS when refunding items/sales that used Store Credit + Store Credit Discount during the initial sale. Previously, when refunding a sale and an amount of "-$10" was entered, POS would calculate this amount based on the Store Credit Discount ($9.09 for example), but it would not include the difference - $0.91. Thus, the remaining $0.91 would end up being paid to the customer in cash. Now when refunding the sale, you will need to manually enter both the Store Credit amount as well as the Store Credit Discount. We would recommend creating a new Payment Type named something such as "Store Credit Refund" or "SCR." When refunding an item, the customer will have the receipt that will show the amount paid in Store Credit and the amount paid in Store Credit Discount. If the sale used $10 in Store Credit and there was a 10% Store Credit
Discount, you will see $9.09 + $0.91 on the receipt. Once in Refund mode and once you have entered the item, you would enter "-9.09" and click "Store Credit" and then enter "-.091" and click "SCR."
5058 Resolved issue with Terminal IDs changing.  When a Layaway is created on Terminal 4 and then brought up on Terminal 2, then Terminal 2 will change to Terminal 4 and will stay that way until you either restart POS or go into setup and POS Setup and click ok for it to reset itself to the original terminal number.  Basically, when any sale was "recalled" - i.e., Layaway, Suspended Sale, Refund, etc. - the Terminal ID from the original sale was recalled.
5070 Resolved issues when relisting items that had either a Reserve or a Buy It Now on the initial listing, but neither of these on a relist. If the first listing had a Reserve of $50, but the relist had no Reserve, the relisted item would show the Reserve amount from the first listing. The same would occur if a BIN was on the first listing, but not on the relist.
5074 Resolved issue with "slow downs"/lag during Item Entry. When typing in a Category, the program would "lag" for about 3 seconds and then finally "pop" once the Category was found and the Attributes list was shown. This is no longer the case in the new 2.6b release!
