Re: Search in WIP

If I may chime in on this, we also had experienced this and other issues in the past relativer to the WIP screen. At some point, I realized that not all the stations on our network had been updated. Once all the stations were updated with the latest of Windows and the latest from Mitchell!, the prob...

Re: Scheduler bleed over appointments

I'm reminded of a saying that an old farmer told me quite some years ago (early 1970s). "He that persisteth winneth". Keep at it till you find what works for your situation.

Re: Scheduler bleed over appointments

Oh boy. This is an ongoing issue with us as well. But I have begun making notes on both the scheduler as well as the hard copy work order of additional time that may be needed and what to do when that happens. So far, the only way that I know of to allow for that is to initially physically allow for...

Re: Ordering down

We have been using NexPart for some toime now and it is not uncommon to have some inconsistency of operation. Gets frustrating but I remind myself that it's only a man made program and will fail at times. So, we make the best of it. Having said that, it is a good program and we like how it saves tim...

The Forum link had not been working for me for several weeks but in the last couple of days it is working fine again. Finally. Not aware that I did anything to make it work but I got the same message as posted prior to mine.

Re: Change Telephone Number

Ok, so I found that. Thanks for the tip. I can't believe I missed that. So, my next question is "How do I put more than one phone number on the shop information"?

Re: Parts Invrntory - Out of Limit

Ahh there it is. For the value to stick you must do a search. Once the search is done the value is saved to whatever you have the limit set to. 5000 is just the max you can have as the value there. Hey Hey!!!!! I was quite certain I was missing a step in there somewhere. Thank you so much. I do gre...

Just to confirm, when you change the "Limit results" to 5000, are you searching right after or are you closing the window out and coming back?
I am changing the number and then backing out. When I come back in, the number is still the same so I assume that I am missing something.

Parts Inventory - Out of Limit

So, this morning I want to go through the inventory we have here in our shop and a message came up saying "The list of parts has exceeded the maximum allowed".

Now what do I do? I need to add more for our fleet.

Re: Almost all invoices are now 2 sided

Yea, I been having that also but decided not to complain but rather wait and see if anyone else is having the same issue. The older version was much more compact than this. Not sure what the logic is for this change.

Logo Size Is Reduced?

I am enjoying the 9.1.0.3357 release except for one small thing. The logo of our business in the upper left corner of the printed invoice is greatly reduced from its former size. Everything else on the printed invoice seems to be fine. How can I increase the size of the shop logo both on the preview...

Part Number On Invoice

At the risk of exposing my ignorance, I am wondering what to do so I can see the part number on my customer invoice I give to them? Currently I only see a part description and I want to be able to see the part number.

Invoiced The Wrong Customer

The situation is that I created a large invoice (many entries) for a job we did and I billed to the wrong customer that had a vehicle exactly the same as the one we had in the shop. Is there any way to change the invoice to the correct owner or must I delete that invoice and create a new one?
