I'm just wondering about end-of-day reconciliation - to balance money in with charges made.  It's looking like I could have $1,000 charged to Handling for the day, and I can't find any report that addresses what that $1,000 was for.

I notice that Tax shows up automatically in a similar way during checkout.  I don't use it (we don't have Sales Tax), but I'd imagine the taxes collected would go into some report.  Is there something similar for Handling?

I for one am getting very tired of having to fix so many things after these Windows updates! I opted out of that "fast ring" last year so I could avoid the bugs!

Ausad, I've just made sure that any user I do NOT want to use the Manger Control window has security access LESS than "Manager" level, i.e., "Cashier" or "Employee" or "Lowest". 

If you currently have someone with status of "Manager" (as set in the Employee window), and you don't want them to mess around with how you have the Function buttons set up, I think you just need to move their status to anything below "Manager", rather than changing anything in the Security Control settings. 

When did you sneak that feature in there?  It works great - thanks!

I sure appreciate your willingness to pursue this.  I've filled out the spot on your site for Custom Work - it's very much worth it!

Well, I see three different fields currently in EZP that could be involved - the "weight" and "shipping" in Product Edit, and the "Handling" in the Sales window.  It looks like the "Handling" is just added manually during a sale.
 It seems like the "shipping" is most likely what I've paid to have the item shipped to me (though I can't figure out how to get that to work, either).  It seems that the "weight" field could really be used only for calculating a shipping charge to someone purchasing the item.   

So, if there would be some way that the total weight (I don't think individual weights being visible would be necessary) could show up at the time of transaction (and prior to payment), we'd have a relatively simple way of determining the shipping charge.  We have a nice "calculator" now that covers both UPS and USPS, and just have to enter zip and weight to get a solid estimate.  Then, as we do currently, we can have a Product for shipping that we use for the charge.

We'd need a way of bulk-entering the weights.  The way we can currently change an entire column in Product Edit is fantastic, and they'd probably need to be tweaked on occasion (the new "dimensional weight" system has a few variables that may not be evident at first).

Of course, some kind of system where the zip code is automatically tied to the weights and automatically spits out a shipping charge would be extremely nice, but with the way charges vary between shipper and change over time (not to mention the complexity of programming it, I'd imagine), it's hard to see that as being feasible. 

I have to admit I hadn't ever used the Activity Log - looks like a great feature!

Okay, so it's an option to require a customer name for specific items.  I thought it was maybe an option to require certain fields in the Customer information window to be filled in.

Thanks!
