Version 6.0.0 - 8/4/2008

Hand-Held Software (HHS) Version 1.2

• Multiple sites can be fetched and scanned as the user desires, without restrictions, adding a great degree of flexibility to HHS workflow. In the previous version the work for a fetched site had to be completed and transferred to the HDP application before another site’s reference file could be fetched.
• Cost, Margin and List can now be defined for new items on the MC3090’s Inventory screen.
• Scanning/entry of DSDs and Inventories has been streamlined and proceeds more intuitively with fewer required onscreen actions.
• "Speedy scanning" is now available for DSD and Inventories. Simply scan the item, enter a quantity, scan an item, enter a quantity, repeat as desired. Tap Save or Close when finished. Items are saved as soon as the next item is scanned.
• A Find feature has been added to the MC3090’s Delivery and Inventory screens. This makes locating previously scanned items easy for editing deliveries or inventory adjustment transactions. Scan or enter a bar code/SKU number to display the items to be edited. On the Delivery screen, tap Find or on the Inventory screen, tap Find.
• HHS software now can be updated automatically from the HHS screen. When an update is ready, the device prompts the user to update. This prompt occurs after an inventory reference file is fetched or after a group of DSD or Inventory transactions has been transferred. After clicking OK from this prompt, on the Fetch menu, click Update. This initiates a series of steps to upgrade the software.
• A Close button has been added to the Delivery and Inventory screens. Clicking it saves the record last worked upon.
• When fetching an inventory reference file, a compact event occurs automatically preventing the database from taking up too much space on the HHT.
• Retained reference files may now be deleted from the HHT to free up storage space. On the File menu, click Delete Fetched. This has no detrimental effect on any current work.
• To vastly improve battery life, the Symbol MC3090’s wireless radio feature is now turned off automatically upon startup of the HHS program. Customers wishing to set up their own wireless network have the option to manually turn it back on after the HHS program has loaded.
• Successful scan events are accompanied by a louder beep than before.
• An improved progress bar provides a more graduated and, therefore, realistic representation of fetch transfer progress.

Version 6.0.0 - 2/23/2007

• The Symbol MC3090 Hand-Held Terminal (HHT) is now engineered to function with the HDP system, with the capability to perform Direct Store Deliveries and Physical Inventory adjustment transactions. Highlights of the new HHT include:
  • Windows CE operating system.
  • Windows CE-based utility Remote Display allows user to view display of HHT on host computer.
  • Stylus-based input, although many commands and functions can be initiated with the keypad built into the HHT.
  • Virtual onscreen keyboard for use with stylus.
  • Revolving scanning turret with LED charge indicator that reflects scan status.
• Inventory items can be identified by UPC/PLU or vendor number.
• When no invoice number is entered for a DSD, the invoice number defaults to mmddyytime.
• Options to change list price for each scanned invoice (DSD): Always, Never or only when a Cost Change appears.
• Invoices can be edited multiple times before being sent to the HDP application.
• Multiple Inventory sessions can be sent, in addition to multiple DSDs.
• In the case of Physical Inventory sessions, the user has an option to give each session a plain text name for easy subsequent reference.
• The documentation, including online help, has been updated accordingly.

Version 6.0.0 - 9/1/2006

Note: The following points describe HDP 6.0.0 enhancements in comparison to HDP 5.25. They pertain to the HDP application, not the HDP system.

• Unified, easy-to-navigate interface for viewing Direct Store Delivery and Physical Inventory sessions to be posted to CDB is featured. Switching between Direct Store Delivery and Physical Inventory transaction views may be accomplished with the click of a button.
• Session records now have columns for display of Collected By and Posted By information. The First Invoice and Last Invoice columns in HDP 5.25 have been changed to read Begin and End in HDP 6.
• The HDP window refresh rate is user-defined; the default is 10 seconds.  On the View menu, click Settings.
• The User Name logged into the HDP application is visible at all times from the main window.
• Purging of posted and non-posted files is accomplished using a cutoff date instead of a "hard" day count.
• CDB Departments, CDB Inventory and CDB Redemptions can be displayed from the View menu.
• In the Physical Inventory viewer, manager level users (or higher level users) can use the Select CDB criteria group box to filter (based on the information currently in CDB) reports and transactions as desired. Criteria include:
  • Dept. Range
  • Vendor
  • Bar Code
  • Inventory ID
  • Item Description
  • Unit List
  • Redemption value of an item
  • Margin
• Reports are now HTML-based and feature an enhanced Print Toolbar.
• Expanded report functionality includes:
  • Exclusions report that lists Physical Inventory data that will not be posted with the rest of the session (that is, data excluded through the Select CDB criteria feature)
  .
  • New Items only report that can be printed independently of any other report selection.
• Criteria, if selected in the Physical Inventory viewer, display in the upper left-hand corner of reports.
• Expanded, fully illustrated, on-line help is integrated into the application.  On the Help menu, click Contents.

Version 5.25.1 for the Symbol PDT 3100

• The Apply List Price from Invoice to CDB setting is now saved when the user exits the application. In other words, if this checkbox is selected when the user exits the application, it remains selected when the software is re-opened. If the checkbox is cleared, when the user re-opens the software it remains cleared. Previously, the checkbox would always reset to clear.

Version 5.25 for the Symbol PDT 3100

• Vendor item numbers are now included in posted Direct Store Delivery line items as they appear on the invoice.
• The invoice due date based on the terms resident in the CDB vendor record now displays on the invoice.
• Verify Code has replaced Test Scanner on the HHT main menu, reflecting an enhanced functionality. Test Scanner was used to expand short U.P.C.-E codes to their U.P.C.-A equivalents on the HHT. Verify Code performs this function and it can retrieve entered items from the store’s reference file, delivering the UPC code, description and unit list of the item to the HHT display. If an item is not found in the reference file, the HHT displays the UPC code with the note, "Item Not Found."

PPT 3100 version 5.25

• Verify Code has replaced Test Scanner on the HHT main menu, reflecting an enhanced functionality. Test Scanner was used to expand short U.P.C.-E codes to their U.P.C.-A equivalents on the HHT. Verify Code performs this function and it can retrieve entered items from the store’s reference file, delivering the UPC code, description and unit list of the item to the HHT display. If an item is not found in the reference file, the HHT displays the UPC code with the note, "Item Not Found." (Sunray users already have this upgrade).

HHT-Server Version 5.24

• Fetching Xref file process now verifies size of file.

Version 5.23

• Processing of items "re-added" when what were existing items are missing from CDB through the DSD and INV transactions. Non stock line items will appear for container multipacks that are entered that have no single scan link information available.
• HDP window defaults to first valid site for HDP.
• Added Dept. Only option to printing the Exception report and added total fields for the quantities.
• Department and Description information from the CDBWin will be used in line items on paidouts.
• Items considered new by the HHT will NOT update items in CDBWin if it already exists.

HHT-Server Version 5.23

• Enhanced communication by extending timeouts because of user network problems.
• Enhanced communication by adding delay after command is sent to account for slow network response.

Version 5.22

• Accomidates new and existing multipacks in Merging feature.
• Implemented HTML content for Help. F1 at Main Menu.
• INV Report processing time cut by approximately 67%.
• INV report fields were widened to account for printing differences when the cost has 4 digits beyond the decimal.
• User can now view and print "merged" inventories.
• Added User Name, Password login. Site lists will be limited to the sites that the user has access to in the CDBWin. NOTE: if the user is not prompted for user name password, then the shortcut has to be updated to include "/wrkgrp ..\cdbwin\data\sscs.mdw" prior to the application name.
• Added Merging for Physical Inventories. Highlight the inventories you want to merge from the list and press F9.

HHT-Server Version 5.22

• Updating the shortcut creates an icon in the SSCS folder to repair HHT. Added Communication tab to Setup window.
• Created Setup window to set up both local and Sunray (VBOS) customers. Sunray (VBOS) customer setup requires the password in order to edit the information.
• DSD transfers that are automatically posted have the same collection and post date and time. Check boxes were added to the Setup window so the Automatically Post DSD Transactions check box and Apply List Price from DSD Transactions check box can be set per site.
• Added Automatic DSD posting. Flags for auto posting and applying list price from the DSD can be changed by going into user Setup from the Communicate with HHT window's Setup button. After successfully backing up the HHT files, the HHT-Server will automatically post the DSD transactions that were transfered. This will only happen if the AutoPostDSD flag is selected.
• HHT-Server will treat invalid commands as blanks and return to scanning the COM port. The same will happen if the user tries to fetch a file that is not there. If sending non transaction files from the HHT, the user must have logged in already for paths to be correct for retrieving file from the HHT.
• If COM port specifed as 0, user will be prompted for port.
• Added TCP/Com file as the eigth command-line parameter. If the file is passed and exists, the HHT-Server will open the TCP/Com connection saved as that name prior to opening host mode.
• Last Caller statement in Host Mode Message box now shows date and time. This is mostly for Sunray (VBOS).
