Help and Support area - option to upload data to support from the System Info page
[3,283]
More convenient and less technically demanding than doing this task from the server.
This upload process also encrypts personal data the HireTrack NX database to help meet GDPR commitments.

Inventory & Prep Notes - Composite components gain a "NoAutoCountOut" flag that stops the type being processed with the master
[3,401]

[3,227]
Operations Note - Introduce a "Select" column so that users can process a specific batch of items in a single go

As an alternative to entering the Quantity against each line processed (e.g Prepped), users can use the selected column to specify which lines have been completely processed. A "Process Selected" button then operates on those lines.

[3,332]
Master lines are now displayed in bold and with a darker indicator colour.

So if an item is officially located and stocked in to Warehouse 2 but is actually at Warehouse 1 and NOT on LOAN, by switching to "Transfer Item Locations" the barcode will be moved to Warehouse 1 and stocked out of Warehouse 2.
Prep Notes - Case Code drop down combo boxes also list case IDs that have been assigned to other Prep Notes for a list
[3,251]
Thus making it easier for a subhire to be put into a roadcase that had processed on a Prep Local note. All roadcases on an equipment list are available to be selected.

In other words, both Rental and Sales costs will be written to Misc Costs if RentalCostsAsMisc is on; if RentalCostsAsMisc is off then both Rental costs (Prep and Usage cost) and Sales Costs are written to Eqlist.Costs and the three new Jobs costs fields.
Sales Lists - Current Cost and Anticipated Cost columns include Qty booked in their subtotals
[3,429]
makes it easier to work out margins
Stock Check - if a stock check is active then when "On Job" items are Returned create a "seen" stock check record
[3,335]
Although items on jobs are accounted for ins the Stock Check figures, when these are returned users are obliged to add these to the Stock Check in order to be considered seen. Automating this process saves time and removes the possibility of omission errors.
