Web Sales Changes

in TMtemplates Folder

palmTime.html

new file that returns the current time to the windows mobile device so that they are synchronized.

in WebPages folder

TMerror.txt

added error messages 10123 and 10124. If you have made no changes to this file, then simply replace it. If you have made changes to this file, edit it with excel, add the new error messages, and save as text only.

Note: if you do not change this file, you will get the default messages and the only anomaly you may see is that starting the web listener will report that there are fewer messages in your file than TM expected. It will not affect the operation of Theater Manager.

Misc Changes

Added support for dayflies savings time changes. TM now changes on second Sunday in March and first Sunday in November.

Added some donation reports to allow subtotaling based on the custom fields

Fixed an issue on PC's where they could not print to IP printers unless there was an extended printer delay.

added the ability to delete AP transactions. This means that if an event is set up and priced.... the pricing transactions that track the pricing changes can now be deleted so that the event can also be deleted. This is a temporary solution until version 7 which will delete them automatically.

Fixed a problem in the revenue allocation reports where a pass payment on an order that created comp tickets also included other tickets and payments that had a value. (beg buy a subscription use a comp pass for 2 additional tickets).

Fixed a problem in the web listener so that tickets are properly returned to hold for subscription reservations if the user cancels the shopping cart by logging out

Fixed a problem accepting pass payments where the pass type is average $/quantity... and the pass redemption amount actually increases the value of the ticket. (e.g.... the pass is worth $20 a ticket and the user wants to use it on a $10 ticket... which means that the price of the ticket needed to be increased to $20.00)

Added support for a new merchant provider called 'First Horizon'

Fixed spelling on donation bank transfer G/L entries

Fixed sort order of tickets when printing invoices from the 'order' window

Fixed issue on use of passes where there used to be a restriction on plays that could be used.... and then those restrictions were subsequently lifted.

Fixed issue of play & dates window giving a 'not in edit mode' when closing it .. if the user only had view access.

Calculate the # of payments and # of credits on the Bank Deposit Summary report when that report was printed directly during the End of Day process
