The Jewellery Shopkeeper (Plus)
A major enhancement was introduced in late 2001. (See description) It was decided that, instead of increasing the price of the new program to everybody, the upgrade would be optional. We are thus maintaining the original version as well as the Plus version.
Enhancements and bug fixes to the original version will always (where applicable) also be applied to the Plus version. Enhancements and bug fixes that are only applicable to the Plus version will be listed separately, as is done below.
Plus version only:
| 11/12/01 | Fixed display of raw material cost in inventory f.maint. merchandise add | BugFix |
| 11/12/01 | Fixed new dollar price bug in sales transaction for raw material | BugFix |
| 11/12/01 | Added extra (optional) department letter to general ledger account codes | Enhancement |
