Greetings!
The end of year is nearly upon us, and we have a few reminders of year-end procedures for you. We also have information about features within the most recent version of the software, and an alert for those of you using Mercury Payment Systems for the software. Finally, there is information on the holiday hours for Support and Sales.

Report Reminder
Remember to run a current full inventory report, both new and used, on 12/31/2011 to make sure you have a list of your year-end inventory. It's also very advisable to make and save a full database backup on this date.

New Features
With 2.9.11 there are a few new features in ExtremePOS, Musicware, and Praiz worth mentioning. Last month we went over the item notes feature; this is now included.
For users of the BRE and VPD database, you may now lock individual items to NOT have their prices updated when you update from these databases by checking the lock pricing from databases option under optional for a particular item.
You may now set percentages from the new price to calculate the used pricing automatically; this is found under inventory in options, and then set on the individual item under optional. (This will default on for newly added items once the feature is turned on, but you'll have to set it for old items to avoid accidentally losing pricing information.)
There is now a specific permission to set to allow an employee to do barcode printing from inventory maintenance. This can be set under the permissions tab of employee maintenance.
These are just a few of the features; for a complete list, check the update notes under license and updates from the launcher in ExtremePOS 2.9
