Readysell
June 7, 2021

We’re pleased to announce that Readysell 8.59 (codename “Hastings”) is rolling out progressively to all of our Readysell 8 customers. This release is focused on implementing some important service enhancements, improvements to the framework of the whole application, and actioning bugs that have been reported over the last period.

New feature Development

15997 – We’ve added a new field “Number of students” Student in Sales Quotes. Once a sales quote is converted into a sales order, the Product Sale Quantity field will be multiplied by the Number of Students.

15995 – Education project: New executable form report: F-147 Sale Quote EDU Report (By Supplier)

15994 – Education project: New Standard note button on sale order and quote

15987 (applicable to particular customers) – POS Gift voucher: when a user opens a completed order, POS will pop up warning if any gift voucher sales without voucher number and user can click the warning to send the voucher number to Readysell support team.

16046 – Users can now generate, print, and scan barcodes from a product’s Oid – to be used in the same way as existing product labels

Bug Fixed:

15759 – We fixed an issue where the product feed from Ingram Micro was too large and needed to be broken into smaller feeds.

15760 –  RS3 Product Import was not updating the quantity on hand or cost price for product suppliers in the Pricebook and product file. This issue has been fixed.

16072 – RS3 Product Import was overriding the cost price for primary suppliers in the Pricebook. This has been fixed.

16047 – Clicking the Extract banking button multiple times on the Bank Reconciliation will result in duplicate bank reconciliation lines to appear. This issue has been fixed

15988 (applicable to particular customers) – An issue was identified where not every web order from POS was being synced with the orders at head office.

*Note: the referenced POS is a standalone POS, only relevant for a particular set of customers. These features are not relevant to the Readysell POS functionality.

KeyPay – Important changes to the definition of ‘Active Employee’ for billing purposes – Please read

Readysell
June 1, 2021

Attention all KeyPay users: Important changes to the definition of ‘Active Employee’ for billing purposes – please read

This alert is to inform you of some planned changes that may affect how you are charged for use of the KeyPay platform in the near future.  

KeyPay’s current billing model defines an ‘active employee’ as an employee who has been included in a finalised pay run at least once within our billing cycle. Unfortunately, this has led to a small number of users significantly exploiting a loophole to avoid paying for use of the payroll platform.

This problem has prompted KeyPay to change their definition of an ‘active employee’:

An employee will be considered ‘active’ when at least one of the following actions have been completed for that employee during the billing cycle:

  • Included in a finalised pay run
  • Has had an approved leave request                        
  • Has had an approved expense request
  • Has had a published roster shift  

Please note that if a user unlocks the pay run in any given month, any of the actions above are still counted towards an ‘active employee’. This change will come into effect from the 1st of July 2021. You will see the change (if there is one) on the invoice you receive on the 1st of August 2021.

Please notify the other areas of your business that need to be made aware of this change.

The Readysell Team.

Readysell “Daintree” update – Now rolling out!

Readysell
March 1, 2021

We’re pleased to announce that Readysell 8.59 (codename “Daintree”) is rolling out progressively to all of our Readysell 8 customers. This release is focused on implementing some important service enhancements, improvements to the framework of the whole application, and actioning bugs that have been reported over the last period.

Readysell framework improvements:

We’ve added some small improvements to some of our commonly used Readysell features, by updating the development framework. This includes new security options like ‘security over users accessing buttons’. These enhancements also include improvements to the filter editor. There are a lot of small changes in this framework update that will make filtering, colouring and accessing your Readysell data a little easier.

Service module enhancements:

  • Service orders. We’ve listened to our service module users and added a lot of enhancements around service orders. These include linking service orders and sale orders; copying sale orders to/from service orders, and quite a few more. The enhancements were covered in our recent service training session. Please let us know if you would like a link to the training video (or an invitation to any of our future training sessions)
  • Staff schedule. We have improved the staff schedule, making it easier to drag service calls between staff members and to reschedule service team members with the staff schedule.
  • Numerical sorting of Machines. You can now sort your machines in numerical order. We have added a read-only field that shows the MachineID as a number, meaning you don’t have to pad the MachineID with zero’s just to get machines to sort in numerical order by MachineID.

WebX website integration improvements

  • We now always try to grab images live for WebX users. Preventing older images on your hard drive, such as old diary images from displaying
  • Removed rounding issues when importing from the booklist or Paypal prepayments from your website
  • Improved the product sync functionality

But wait, there’s more…

We’ve also made a number of other improvements and under-the-hood changes. Here’s a full list. If you’d like more details about any of the below items, please don’t hesitate to get in touch with us through the Readysell Helpdesk.

Update on GNS integration with Readysell

Readysell
August 5, 2020

Good afternoon everyone,

Over the weekend it became apparent that there was an issue with the integration between GNS and Readysell – because of a change that GNS affected to their systems on Friday. 

Readysell has worked with GNS and we are pleased to announce we now have a solution get GNS EDI integration from Readysell working again! The solution must be setup at each business individually. Shannon, on our support team, has already started rolling out the change to some businesses today – starting with those businesses that have put in support tickets. Shannon will continue to roll out the change (including to your business) over the next few working days.

In the meantime, until the change is rolled out to your business, the workaround to this issue is still to send purchase orders to GNS via email. Use the “Send” button on purchase orders or email batches to send your purchase orders to GNS via email.

If you have any questions or if you need any further assistance. Please contact Readysell support.

Update on GNS integration with Readysell

Readysell
August 4, 2020

Good afternoon everyone,

Over the weekend it became apparent that there was an issue with the integration between GNS and Readysell – because of a change that GNS affected to their systems on Friday. At the current moment, this latest change is not allowing our customers to send their purchase orders via EDI to GNS.

GNS informed us late on Friday of the change they had made to their system and gave our team instructions on the minimal changes required to Readysell in order to ensure that the systems continued to operate together. While our team made the requested changes immediately, unfortunately these did not work as we were told, and issues arose with this functionality over the weekend.

GNS are currently working on a resolution, and our team will be communicating with them constantly, to ensure the duration of this issue is as short as possible. We will update you all as the fix progresses.

In the meantime, the workaround to this issue is to send purchase orders to GNS via email. Use the “Send” button on purchase orders or email batches to send your purchase orders to GNS via email.
