A new field in the Payment Information box called Trans Fee is used
to enter the cost of the transaction when processed through a merchant
bank. This amount is deducted from the payment amount and shown in
a separate column on the deposit slip report making reconciliation
with your merchant accounts much easier. This amount is automatically
calculated if the electronic payment information in MMS has been configured
and can be manually entered/changed as needed.
A separate field for credit card expiration date has been added
to the payment window. No longer do expiration dates need to be entered
in the number field, if you were doing so previously.
When entering a new customer credit card number and expiration date
on the payment window, MMS will now prompt you if you would like to
add that credit card record to the customer account eliminating the
need to enter credit cards under the customer administration window
when you would like MMS to remember the credit cards. This will occur
whether you are manually entering a credit card number or swiping
the credit card information into the field through an optional
credit card reader. If you do not want this prompt to occur (i.e.
a generic RETAIL/CASH account), uncheck the “Prompt New Credit
Cards” check box on the Address/Other Info tab of the customer
administration window.
A payment receipt can now be printed from the payment window. Simply
press the Print button of any saved payment to do so. If you have
a receipt printer attached to your system, the payment receipt will
print onto it. If not, it will print to your regular printer.
You can select exactly which payment types open the optional
cash drawer. For example, this allows you to only open the drawer
when entering a cash or check payment but not credit card.
You can now print a check from the payment window. This eliminates
having to go to the customer window to print a customer check (bank
draft) when generally you are already on the payment window entering
the payment. To do this, just click on the Checks tab and press the
Print Check button. The amount and check number fields in the Payment
Information box will be automatically transferred to the check printing
window so you do not have to reenter that information. Blank
check stock can be ordered here.
An invoicing quote feature has been added that allows you to create
a “Quote Invoice” that does not affect inventory or the
customer balance. This is useful when the customer is simply wanting
to know what a set group of products will cost. This quote can be
printed out and given to the customer as well as converted to an invoice
at any time. To create a quote invoice, you perform the same steps
as when you create a regular invoice and just place a check in the
Quote Only field on the Invoice Heading tab. Uncheck this to convert
the quote to an actual invoice at any time.
Customer’s credit card numbers are now X’d out on the
printed invoice (regular, retail, and receipt printer) only showing
the last 4 digits of their credit card.
The credit card holder's name is printed on the credit card receipt
that the customer signs if using the optional
receipt printer.
A default customer message can be set for each customer.
When invoicing that customer, that invoice message will be automatically
selected overriding the default system invoice message. You can
set this default customer message on the Address/Other Info tab
of the customer administration window.
Printer setup button added to Print window to allow you to configure
the printer at that point.
Print orientation option (landscape/portrait) added to the label
specifications for those users who need to change the orientation
of label reports.
Customer’s sponsor code added to volume transfer report.
MMS will now track transaction fees for certain payment types.
This will help users who try to reconcile the MMS deposit slip with
deposits made to their ECHO merchant account because you will be able
to see the net amount after any transaction fees (variable and/or
fixed) are removed.
Deposit slip administration/report window has a few small changes.
Net Amount column has been added which is the payment amount minus
any transactions fees. If your electronic payment types are configured,
this amount should equal the amount deposited into your merchant account
by your merchant bank. You can double click on a payment and the payment
window will be opened and that payment automatically retrieved. This
allows you to view the details of the payment and make any changes
necessary before processing the deposits.
Inventory report now allows the option of entering an “As
of Date”. This allows you to determine the inventory as of a
prior date if you use both the invoicing and reorder features of MMS.
A vendor selection list has been added to the report criteria window
of the Inventory, Product Sales Ranking, Inventory Sales, and Inventory
Sales/Order reports. This allows you to select more than one vendor
to create the report for.
The Inventory Sales Report has been improved. A product selection
box has been added to the report criteria window. This allows you
to select one or more products and only have the report return results
for those product(s). Also, a Show Customer Information checkbox has
been added to the report criteria window. If checked, the customer
making the purchase of the item will be shown on the report.
A new product report has been created under the Products|Reports
menu choice called the Inventory Sales/Order Report. This report shows
all purchases (reorders) and sales of products that meet the report
criteria selection.
You can now define the order of which the prices show up on the
product administration window based on the vendor of that product.
Since NSP always shows their prices in a specific order, this makes
price changing/entry quicker. If you handle a different vendor whose
prices are in a different order than NSP, you can adjust their price
order as well.
If you sell products at a different price (i.e. Distributor Cost
+ 5%) than any of the standard prices, prior versions of MMS required
that you change the actual price on the product record and such changes
would be lost when the next price update is installed. Now, you can
simply add an adjust to the vendor record which is applied to the
product price at time of invoicing.
A default shipping amount can be added to the Reorder Information
of a vendor on the Vendor Administration Window. This amount is automatically
transferred to the reorder when a new reorder is created.
A vendor part number field has been added to each product record.
This allows you to have different product number in MMS than what
is used by the vendor. When a reorder is printed, this alternate vendor
part number field is used instead of the regular product number.
The bar code field for NSP products is automatically populated
when entering a new NSP product. This allows you to add the product
to an invoice via a bar code scanner by scanning either the manufacturing
code or the UPC. Bar codes of existing NSP products will be set through
the optional September, 2002, product update program.
The number of characters you can enter into a product's notes field
has been increased from 400 characters to 2000 characters.
The shipping description entered on an invoice (i.e. OVERNIGHT)
is saved with the invoice and set with all other invoice information
when the invoice is retrieved in the future.
