Access Permissions

No Change

DataMajor

Animals with a sex of FS will assumed to be Female Neutered.

Stock received will be added to the 'stkhist' table.

Menu_Timeout

This params.txt entry to log off idle screens is a little too resource greedy to work across the board. It has been changed to be on a per terminal basis. You specify it with Menu_Timeout_{location} = x mins.

You can get the terminal's location by entering a ? at the main menu and the location is on the bottom right of the screen. The terminal here is called 'toms terminal' - you specify it WITHOUT any spaces e.g. Menu_Timeout_TomsTerminal = 60

Attachments - Create Attachment

The system will now add an extension to the file being created to allow the correct application to be called when using file association (filecap).

Dunlops Batch Pickup (Internet)

If you are 'net connected' you can pickup a list of all batch numbers directly from Dunlops computer. The option is located (Stock Control - Ordering - On-line Service - Dunlops).

The only question relates to listing batch numbers from a specific invoice number - the default is to collect all batch numbers for new deliveries.

If you have multiple account for Dunlops e.g. Small Animal, Large Animal, Pet Food etc. You will be asked to select which account to use.

There is very little to set, you do need the OS Utility 'wget' (version 1.9 or higher installed). The system will use the settings stored against Dunlops in the premvet stock lookup tables. If you have multiple locations then the params.txt option:

Dunlops_On-Line+X = UserName Password (where X is the branch number)

will be used; you should specify user name <space> password e.g. Dunlops_On-Line+4 = JC2 pass will for branch 4; use the user-name 'JC2' with the password 'pass'.

One step further, if you have multiple accounts AND multiple locations but you use the same supplier code you can set the user-name/password with:

Dunlops_On-Line+X_Y (where X is the branch number and Y is the supplier number.)

Currently, the URL the system uses is built into the software, while it is un-likely that it will change; you can over-ride it with the params.txt entry: Dunlops_Order_Url

Stock - Change Supplier

A new option has been added to Utilities -> Reset/Update Menu, called 'Change Supplier'. This allows you to globally change the supplier code being used. You need to enter the existing supplier and then the new code - you can limit by stock number, product/manufacturer codes and flags.

LabLink - Menavet System Lab Analyser

Support has been added for the Menavet Lab system for automatically processing results. Once connected the results will be logged automatically. When you select Misc -> Laboratory -> Analyser -> Menavet they will be added to animal records automatically.

Batch Audit Report

An option of the History screen of a stock card (Print -> Batch) will summarise the history screen. It will print for each batch number recorded: Opening quantity, total received, total sold, correction and a sub-total of the quantity of that batch you should have in stock. Any manual changes to the quantities of a batch will be logged in the history file.

Stock End Of year

When the Stock end of year is run, entries will be added to the history file. These are: Quantity in stock (at time of EOY) and if there are batch numbers recorded against this item a line for the quantity recorded for each batch number.

This applies to whether the EoY is run manually via a menu option or automatically out of cron.

NVS Batch Pickup

This section only applies if you have multiple account references for NVS e.g. Small Animal, PetFood, Toys etc. When collecting batch information, with multiple accounts, you will be asked to select the account used.

If you have multiple locations you can set the params.txt entry:

NVS_On-Line+X (where X is the branch number)

if this is used you should specify just your account reference: e.g. NVS_On-Line+4 = 012234 will for branch 4; use the reference; '012234'.

One step further, if you have multiple accounts AND multiple locations but you use the same supplier code you can set the reference with:

NVS_On-Line+X_Y (where X is the branch number and Y is the supplier number.)

Electronic Ordering

With multiple location, multiple supplier references but using the same details for each supplier there needs to be a way of setting the account details on each. This can be done with the following params.txt entries:

Stock_Order_Site_X_Y = account_reference where X is the site and Y is the supplier.

For Site 2, supplier 3 where the account reference is 123456 then you would use:

Stock_Order_Site_2_3 = 123456

If you don't have multiple supplier references then you can use the shorter version: Stock_Order_Ref_X = xxxxxx where X is the site.

Find a Client - Animal Search

The 'Record No' field has been changed to Surgery Number. You can enter the animal number in the 'Client Name' Field so the ability to directly access an animal still exists.

The 'Surgery No' will default to '0' meaning all surgeries, if you set it to say 2 - then only animals registered at surgery 2 will be displayed. If you want the field to default to the surgery you are currently logged into then set the params.txt option:

Search_Surgery = Here

This will alter the default so a surgery 3 terminal will default to look for clients that are only registered at site 3.
