BUG FIXES
The Time Clock feature would print the wrong dates when you loaded a time card from a previous week. Reported by Cwathen. Fixed in version 7.03

NEW FEATURES

Time clock end of week
The Time Clock feature can now be set make the last day of the week Saturday or Sunday. Use the “6. Store # / Time display” option in the Time Clock’s supervisor menu to access this feature. Here are the instructions from the manual…

Here is where you may select Saturday or Sunday as the last day of the week. This should be the very first thing you do when using the "Time Clock" feature for the first time and then leave it alone if you can. Since the file name for each time clock file is derived from the last day of the week changing it will create a new file. For example if you were using Saturday as the last day of the week and the current file is 20090613.CLK and you change to Sunday, the current file will become 20090614.CLK, a totally different file. When the 20090614.CLK file is created data from the 20090613.CLK file will not be transferred over to the new file. This is one reason that when you change the "end of week" that you will automatically be returned to the "Cash Register" program and must re-enter the "Time Clock" program.

This means that if you are currently using the time clock feature and want to change the last day of the week to Sunday that you must do so after the current week ends and before anyone punches in for the new week.

Amount due
At the end of a sale when you choose a payment method, the amount due will be filled in for you for ANY payment method, not just CASH.

Purchase orders
The PURCHASE.EXE program has been expanded to not only print “ready to mail” purchase orders but will also store the PO’s and allow you to manage them.
Since the section of the manual for the PURCHASE.EXE program has a couple of graphics I will not print it here but instead will give you the link to the section in the online version of the manual. http://keyhut.com/postip10.htm#purchase

Well this was quick. If you downloaded the program within 9 hours of my uploading it (meaning before 4:30 a.m. Chicago time, 6-15-09) then you have a copy of the PURCHASE.EXE program file that will not check to see if the printer is ready before it prints the purchase orders. This was reported by Tony Mc Guire, a very speedy person. This has been fixed and you can get the fix by downloading this into the folder that holds your DHPOS program files http://www.dhpos.com/purchase.exe

If you downloaded after 4:30 a.m. Chicago time, 6-15-09, then you are OK

This is not a bug fix but is a new feature for the PURCHASE.EXE program.

Manual purchase order
You may also create manual Purchase Orders. There are 2 reasons to use this program if you have to create manual purchase orders instead of just using your word processor or some other method. First of all it will be much easier to use this program. This program will put the same header at the top of the manual PO that is placed at the top of automatic POs. To enter an item all you have to type will be the stock number and the quantity you want to order. This feature will look up the description and the cost This feature will not allow you to enter an item that is not supplied from the vendor you select. It will not allow you to order a quantity that is not a multiple of the PACK for that item.
The second reason is that the PO will use the next PO# and be filed in the system just like an automatic PO. Since the automatic PO feature numbers the POs sequentially if you use another method to create manual POs you will have to use a different numbering system.
NOTE: Due to the general perversity of DOS the maximum number of different stock numbers you can order in one PO is 8,100. If you need more than 8100 different stock numbers you will have to split your order between 2 POs.
To make a manual PO from the main menu select option “4. Manual purchase orders” then select the vendor you wish to order from. On the next screen when you enter the stock number the program will look up and display the description, current inventory, MODEL, PACK, and the first 24 characters of the vendor stock number. When you enter the quantity you wish to order the line will be displayed on the list on the right of the screen. Only the last 24 items you entered will be displayed. You cannot scroll the list.
If you enter the same item more than once only the last time you enter it will count. For example if you enter 24 pieces for item 123456 and then later enter 15 pieces for item 123456 then only 15 pieces will be ordered for item 123456. This is also how you correct an item. If you order item 654321 by mistake then enter 0 pieces for item 654321 and you will order none, even if previously you had ordered 20.
If you press [F5] you will save the current worksheet you have entered. It is saved by vendor so you can save your work for each vendor and then come back to it later. Saving will not create a purchase order. If you press [F8] you will retrieve the last worksheet for this vendor. NOTE When you retrieve a worksheet it will be displayed in the order the items appear in the stock table, not the order you entered them.
Pressing [TAB] will format a purchase order and display it on he screen. This will not create a purchase order, but just show you what you have entered. Pressing [F1] will create the purchase order and add it to the file. You will then be returned to the main menu.
Press [ESC] to cancel the current work sheet and return to the main menu. Returning to the main menu is also how you change vendors.

To get this new feature you do not have to download the whole program just this file needs to be placed into your folder that holds the cash register program files.

This just in. "small" suggested that the LOOKUP.EXE program also lookup gift card balances. So since all the code for this was in the POS.EXE program I just copied it to the LOOKUP.EXE program and with a few tweeks it worked like a champ.
