NetView ĒCO 3.6

We’re back with our mid-summer release, bringing 15 new enhancements and improvements to NetView ĒCO. This round of updates reflects feedback directly from dealers, along with continued fine-tuning under the hood to improve performance across the platform.

Cores Accounting Adjustments

Multiple parts of the system have been updated to make accounting for Cores easier and more visible.

• QOA and QR now display a unique part line for Cores on part numbers that have them available when added to an order, so their costing is visible. This doesn’t impact inventory quantities — it only adds to the extended value of the original part.
• A new IPOS setting allows costing entries for core parts when a part with a core is sold on a ticket. (Defaults to “No”.)

Dropshipping Support from POS

Per a request from Bobcat of New York, this new functionality makes it easier to flag a POS ticket as a dropship order — one where the dealership isn’t in physical custody of the part inventory — and streamlines management of that order.

• A new Task code (DS) in the POS Task menu lets you tag a part as dropship when adding it to a POS ticket. The Out-of-Stock pop-up also offers to add the part as a dropship order. Enter the quantity to be dropshipped in the “Ship” quantity field and finish the line — POS will confirm the order as dropshipped and add a comment line under the part confirming the order number.
• The created order is available in QOA (Quick Order Adjustments) and doesn’t affect dealer inventory of the part number. Complete the order by selecting “Order Submission” to finalize it.
• This information prints on the Invoice Transaction Report (ITR) as order type “E,” and Order Reports (OOI, OOR, OHR) correctly display dropshipped orders.

General Enhancements

NV-8710 — Update CC routines to prevent token storage when inappropriate

• Accounts 00000–00010 are typically used for in-person, walk-in customers without NetView customer accounts. Since these numbers don’t belong to a specific person or card, there’s no need to retain their info.

NV-8688 — Service API v2 updates

• Updates driven by dealer partner feedback that enhance the capabilities of the Service APIs and address a few shortcomings in the initial implementation.
• Now available at all dealerships using Service v2 endpoints.

NV-8271 — Inventory Fill Report (INFR) Date Range

• Extends the specificity of this report by allowing a configurable date range, rather than the full-month “buckets” previously supported.

NV-7903 — UnitSalesService adjustment

• Prevents the service from running out of memory by making the widgets it supports more efficient.

NV-8863 — ARAservice optimization

• Improves the backdating range and processing performance of the ARA backdating routine.

NV-8191 — SmartIron: Import into General Ledger Enter Document (GLED)

• Streamlines the process of entering data into NetView for dealers using SmartIron as their processing partner.
• A new button in GLED provides easy access to properly formatted entries — with relevant account, amount, and description values — that can be reviewed before saving.
• Includes a new desktop widget that shows available documents ready for import and quick-launches into GLED.

Updates

NV-8832 — Transport Printing Updates

• Prevents potential text overlap into the “Ticket Comments” section of the printout when a large number of units/parts are present on a single Transport Event ticket.
• A new Transport Eform can be used instead of sharing the Rental Eform.

NV-8694 — StockOrderConfigSVC not saving

• Upgraded the PostgreSQL database version on some machines to resolve this — older versions didn’t support this function as intended.

NV-8534 — Unit monthly sales widget refresh adjustment

• Updates to backend logic ensure this displays as expected.

NV-8159 — Fixed Asset Management (FAM) — Location code not editable in all locations

• Submitted by Ayres Delta. Ensures the ability to adjust location codes at multi-location dealerships.

NV-7538 — GLDI cannot search control# and document# at same time

• When valid search criteria are entered, this now works correctly — previously, a search needed to specify one field or the other to return results.
• By entering known valid criteria in both search boxes, results return only items where both reference fields match.

NV-8862 — Fix outdated SetExternalEmail calls in ECIsvc

• Resolves an issue affecting system processes that use the customer email entered in Enter Customer Information (ECI).

NV-6900 — Sales Tax Rate (STXR) — Not adding current taxable amounts in some cases

• Addresses this issue so the taxable amount in the report matches the expected value.

NV-8467 — REMAN part on a Back order with a Core incorrectly affects inventory

• Prevents a case where inventory is incorrectly credited with a positive quantity when the order containing this part is receipted in Quick Receipts (QR) for an existing ticket in POS or ROM.
