CMS Version 9.0.17 Release Notes
Introduction
CMS version 9.0.17 addresses the 2018 rate changes for USPS. 2018 rates for UPS and FedEx from the previous release are also included.
Release Notes from all previous and more recent versions can be found on our Release Notes page.
IMPORTANT - CMS 8.x or earlier updating to CMS 9.0.17 - Please refer to the 9.0 Release Notes and 9.0 Upgrade Plan for important information and details on upgrading to 9.0 before installing. Please contact us to discuss if you have any questions or concerns.
When to Install - The shipping rates in CMS will be updated when you install the 9.0.17 update. As such, you should plan the installation of your update to coincide with when you want the new rates to be available in CMS.
Whether or not you have the current rates in CMS you can continue to ship properly with any of your CMS shipping integrations. In every case, the software that prints the shipping label (e.g. WorldShip™ , Ship Manager®, DAZzle®, ShipRush™, etc.) determines the proper rate for the shipment and thus how you are billed.
Having the current rates in CMS is often just used for reference. Its greatest impact, though, is for companies who charge their customers a shipping and handling fee based on the actual carrier rate (instead of a spending table or other formulas.) If this is how you charge your customers for shipping and handling, you'll want to make sure you have this update installed as soon as you want to start charging your customers based on the new 2017 rates.
READ BEFORE INSTALLING 9.0.17
- Important information to prepare you for the transition to your new version of CMS.CMS 9.x to 9.0.17 Updates - If updating from an older version of 9.x to 9.0.8, the update will run quickly and is only necessary on the server.
CMS 8.x or earlier updating to 9.0.17 - Please refer to the 9.0 Release Notes and 9.0 Upgrade Plan for important information and details on upgrading to 9.0 before installing.
CMS 7.x or earlier updating to 9.0.17 - We recommend you update to 8.0.8 before upgrading to 9.x. Please refer to the 8.0 Release Notes for important information and details on upgrading to 8.0 before installing.
MINIMUM SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS – CMS 9.0.17 did not introduce any new system requirements. Our system requirements can be reviewed on our CMS System Requirements wiki page.
Release codes - During the installation of version 9.0.17 you will be asked to enter your 9.0 release code. In most updates this code will be filled in for you automatically. If it is not, please contact us.
Server updates - The initial server update from 9.x to 9.0.17 will run as quickly as most other updates. If, however, you are updating from version 8.x or earlier, this update can take quite a bit longer than normal. Please make sure everyone is out of CMS and database connections terminated before installing (e.g. Worldship, Crystal, etc.)
Workstation updates - Workstation updates are not required for upgrades from 9.x to 9.0.17 unless you are running Windows 8.x. Workstation updates are required on machines running Windows 8.x. Noting that Windows 10 is only supported when running CMS TEN.
End of Life Announcement - Windows VISTA
Microsoft has announced they will no longer provide support or updates for their Vista operating system as of April 11, 2017. After that date Vista will no longer receive security patches which, aside from the obvious security threats, also means that you cannot be PCI compliant.
We have already seen ramifications at client sites running on other unsupported operating systems. For example, PCI is dictating a shift away from using SSL and TLS 1.0 since they are now considered to be insecure methods of connection. As our partners start to follow this dictate they have/will remove support for those older forms of secure connection which Windows XP and Server 2003 cannot support.
Identify which workstations you may have running Vista and make plans to have them upgraded to Windows 7 or 10 before the April 11, 2017 end of life date.
For a complete list of operating systems we support for use with CMS, see our System Requirements wiki article.
PCI Compliance - CMS 9.0 has been successfully validated against the PA-DSS 1.2 specification by Coalfire Systems. Software changes that could affect your compliance are only included in major CMS versions (e.g. 9.0, 10.0) or minor versions (e.g. 9.1, 9.2) and never in releases (e.g. 9.0.5, 9.0.6) or builds (e.g. 9.0.6.159, 9.0.6.160). You can read more about our versioning methodology HERE.
For the latest in PCI compliance, upgrade to CMS TEN which has been validated against the PA-DSS 3.0 specification.
CMS versions 7.x through 10.x are listed on the PCI Council’s list of Validated Payment Applications HERE
Integrations - All integrations will continue to work as they had including CommerceV3, UPS Worldship, FedEx Ship Manager, Endicia/DaZzle, ShipRush, MPS, TransFirst, and Authorize.net.

9.0.7.174

9.0.7.173
Order Entry - Ad codes triggering a price category change were not properly defaulting $0.00 items to the selected price category (if the option was enabled) - 44273
Order Entry - Shipping cost calculation for a package could be off when using custom rates which in some cases can go down as the weight increases - 44088
Order Entry - Possible for unallocated items to be created (1 orders, 0 sent, 0 back ordered) when clicking out of the product selection combo without selecting an item first. Such items were being interpreted as future ship items by CMS and visible in the Future Ship section of Fulfillment Manager - 44218
Order Imports - Importing an order for an order source other than the first in the list, and the eCMS module was not being used, would result in the imported order being assigned the first order source - 39467
9.0.7.172
Order Entry - Increasing a back ordered item's quantity, after the day it was entered, would result in a future ship date being assigned - 42011

Order Review - When editing an order, if you made changes to package flags (e.g. Signature Required) CMS would not update the order's shipping charge (if based on actual shipping rate). CMS now prompts for a recalculation when exiting the package Labeling screen when editing an order - 43388

9.0.6.163

Order Imports - Automated Imports (AIM) was defaulting to using the companies first price category for imported orders that did not specify a price category. It should instead be using the default price category for Order Entry per the Setup option - 42680

Installer - Removed workstation install option when installing an update on a CMS server - 41341
Order Entry - Past Items fails on a multi-ship order - 35899

Order Entry - If CMS was configured to capitalize all names/addresses as they were entered, orders imported in mixed case could create customer records that had a first name in all caps and a mixed case last name - 38434
Fulfillment - When fulfilling orders it was possible for incorrect packages to be created, either too many packages or packages would have the incorrect weight which would case Best Shipping rules to assign the wrong method - 42278
HUC - Fulfilling an HUC order with the virtual packages option disabled would cause the package to drop from the order - 42272
POS - Setting for default shipping method for POS was not saving - 41438
Multi-ships - Recipient phone numbers were disappearing on save - 42254
9.0.5.155 - Internal Only
9.0.5.154
Order Entry - When editing an order you will no longer be able to delete a line item that has been fulfilled on another invoice (e.g. back order or future ship fulfillment.) Such items must instead be returned. Items fulfilled onto the same invoice, as in the case with Hold Until Complete (HUC), can be deleted and this delete will remove both the ordered and fulfilled records for that line item - 42124
Order Entry - Standardized use of Alloc_qty, Cur_sent, and Fulfill_dt in table ITEMSORD to ensure alloc_qty is sent consistent with sent_qty while cur_sent is only maintained on the parent (usually invoice 001) item. This will correct some reporting issues (Physical Inventory report, allocated qty) - 42145
9.0.5.153
Scheduled Emails - Scheduled emails (previously known as Survey Emails) were being created for customers without email addresses. Having an email address is now a prerequisite, as it has been for order and shipment confirmations emails - 40591
Find Customer - Searching for a customer by phone number would display the same customer multiple times if that phone number had been used multiple time (e.g. billing, mailing, and shipping address). Results on phone searches are now unique by customer number - 24361
Kit Builder - Removing a reserved kit from a batch places the reserved inventory back into stock. This process was also increasing the received qty of the lot it was restocking - 42099
Order Entry - Setup option added to allow order level discounts to be applied to items that also have line item discounts. This setting is found in Setup>Order Entry Options>Money - 33469
Order Entry - Back order confirmation window was coming up multiple times when changing warehouse for a back ordered item - 41445
Order Locking - The Options button on View Invoice in Order Entry will now look for and set order locks, preventing edits from other users while performing the operations in this section - 41520
Exactor - Added configuration for "Nexus States" in CMS Setup>Company. This is used only with tax api integrations (e.g. Exactor). CMS will only submit tax calculation requests for nexus states to the tax service. For non-nexus states, CMS will not require that the Get Tax button be clicked as a condition of order saving - 41517 and 41727
Returns - Added Discount Reversal field to the Order Summary column and added safeguards to ensure proper calculations on complex orders with multiple returns/exchanges - 42033
Unshipped - Orders on any type of Hold are now filtered from the unshipped orders list - 32827
Bad Debt - Can now be set in or out of edit mode and does not require saving after setting when set outside of edit mode - 26196
Bad Debt - Improved display on View Invoice to prevent conflict with other side bar messages - 41521 and 41604
9.0.5.152
eCMS - For kits that have their own stock (i.e. do not pull from component inventory real time), CMS was uploading the available stock level as if it pulled from components - 35972
eCMS - Kits that pull their stock from components are now being properly flagged for updated stock level uploads when the stock level of any of the components change - 39258
Kits - Products set as "Kit Component Only" were being displayed in Order Entry. Normally this setting should suppress these items from being selectable in Order Entry - 41655
Authorize.net - New option added in PCI Administrator to allow emailed charge receipts for POS orders. For non-POS orders there is a setting in your Authorize.net admin to indicate if you want charge receipts emailed but there is no such option for charges processed through a POS account. The default in CMS is to not send emails but, if you wish to continue to send them, as has been occurring, you can enable this option - 39830
Best Shipping - In instances where CMS recreates the packages for an order (possible after edits or fulfillments) the logic for Best Shipping and the assigning of shipping methods by weight was not being triggered. It will now take place immediately after any repackaging - 42000
Scales - If you were using a scale with the CMS Manifest and then opened the Products screen, where weighing is also an option, an error would be raised since both forms were trying to access the scale at the same time. The Manifest now has priority and the scale will be unavailable in the Products section while the Manifest window is open - 41769
PCI - The routine that runs nightly to enforce your selected data retention policy logic has been enhanced so that a credit card number will only be cleared from the database if it is captured (and matches other criteria such as number of days and if the order is not fully fulfilled.) While unlikely, it was possible for an order to be fulfilled after the data retention policy time period and, if that card was not captured the same day it was fulfilled, it could have been deleted before it was captured - 38808
9.0.5.151
Variable Kits - When future shipping a variable kit, the date was not being assigned to the kit header or component - 42024
Order Entry - Unable to select the Multi-Ship button on a new order following the save of a multiship order - 41845
9.0.5.150
Kits - Possible for errors to be raised when attempting to de-allocate a kit that pulls its stock from components. Scenarios include returns with the Restock option and saving as Temp or Proforma without allocation - 39337
9.0.5.149
MPS - Authorization reversals and the voids of captured transactions were failing due to a change at MPS where they no longer can accept non-alphanumeric characters (CMS has long used a hyphenated order-customer number for invoice and reference numbers.) Removed all non-alphanumeric characters from the invoice/refno fields - 41580
9.0.5.148
Proformas - Shipping formula calculations based on weight or number of packages was not properly accounting for the order's packages. This also had ramifications on shipping charge calculations for orders that were a mix of stocked and delayed items - 40613
Mail List Exports - CMS was not recognizing edits to the destination file name after the first export in a session - 25203
Exactor - Unable to save a return with no items - 39470
Scheduled Payments - Business days were always being factored, regardless of user setting. Additionally when the scheduler code adjusted for business days, it didn't re-adjust for the next cycle so date-creep could result - 40086
9.0.5.147
MPS - Increased the size of the ACQREFDATA field in the CHARGEINFO table from 50 to 150 - 41580
Returns - If returning an item to a warehouse other than the one it was sold from, the item was not being properly restocked in the alternate warehouse and was possible for the Sent Qty on the item to be 0 - 40596
Proformas - A proforma that consisted of only dropship or non-inventory items was not prompting for allocation when saving as a completed order causing the Sent Qty to remain at 0 - 41389
Proformas - Addressed problem where packages were not being retained for saved proformas and in some cases were not created when the proforma was saved as a completed order - 40572
9.0.5.146
Vendors - Added fields for Vendor Notes and Minimum Order Amount - 41378
Staging - Added multi-select capabilities to the shipping method combo box - 40770
eCMS (all) Plug-ins
- All supported plug-in dll's have been merged into one - 41428
- Update installer to install new plug-in dll - 41466
- Added feature to check for file transform plug-in - 41461
- File transform plug-in, including FTP connectivity - 41426
- Added Order Status and Order State filters - 41572
Magento Plug-in - Added support for gift message (requiring use of the v1 API data) - 41427
9.0.5.145
Batch Approvals - Added Order Date column to the grid and the ability to column sort. The sort order in this grid controls the sequence in which the charges are processed. Particularly useful when used in combination with the feature in Batch Approvals to limit the number of transactions to process, giving you control over which charges to process and thus release into the next phase of the fulfillment flow. When sorting by order number, charges without an order number (e.g. payments not applied to an order) will always be at the top of the list to ensure they are processed - 41179
9.0.5.144
Kits - Packages were not being assigned to kits in Order Entry (adding to solution in 9.0.5.131 under ticket 40488) - 41400
9.0.5.143
POS - IMPORTANT - Point of Sale orders placed using the free POS feature of CMS were not getting set as shipped automatically on save. The solution to this required moving the setting of Default POS Shipmethod from the POS Module tab in Setup to the Point of Sale tab in Order Entry Options. This option must be configured before placing POS orders with or without the POS Module. You must have one or more shipping choices configured to use the service level "Customer Carryout" for the carrier "Other". The Default POS Shipmethod selection box is filtered to only allow customer carryout methods - 40414
Proformas - Proforma orders that consisted exclusively of dropship or non-inventory items would not prompt for allocation on edit and would not set Sent quantities or packages on save. Note: You should answer Yes to this allocation prompt, even if all items are dropship or non-inventory, if your intent is to save the order as Complete in this session - 40613
Order Review - Added a safeguard in Order Entry to disable the Options menu when in Edit mode to ensure that any edits made via Options are not lost - 35087
9.0.5.142
Order Imports - CMS was not importing an order if it did not have a shipping address - 41314
9.0.5.141
NCOA - Reverted change implemented in 9.0.5.136 (RT 40781). We were able to get Peachtree to commit to supporting the 589 length return file to ensure compatibility with all versions of CMS. Proper record length should be 589 (587 in their layout report.pdf plus CRLF) and a notes/info field of 22 bytes - 41269
Order Imports>Yahoo - Corrected a file processing problem when importing orders from Yahoo stores - 41278
Help - The updated v9 Help file was not being installed and the v8 Help file was being installed instead - 41186
9.0.5.140
HUC Payments - CMS will now default payment amounts to $0 for Hold Until Complete orders. This is done by default now since the fulfillment of the HUC order will result in the creation of a single full payment for the entire order. You may still override this and enter any desired amount if you wish to take a down payment on the HUC order. This $0 default applies to all hand entered HUC orders and, for imports, CMS will also automatically reduce the payment amount to $0 for any uncaptured charge card or eCheck payment - 40412
9.0.5.139
HUC Packaging - When fulfilling a Hold Until Complete (HUC) order, if it was fulfilled on a date later than the date entered, it would place the fulfilled items into a new package when the desired behavior is to allow the items to fulfill into existing packages (provided all other packaging rules are met.) An exception for HUC has been added to the packaging logic which will allow items with different fulfillment dates to add to the same package. In other words, you should have the same packages after an HUC fulfillment as you would have had if all the items had all been available during the initial order creation - 40413
HUC EDC - Payments applied to Hold Until Complete orders are allowed to process in both Batch Approvals and Batch Capture (EDC) sections. HUC orders should normally have a $0 payment (see 9.0.5.140) on the initial save and a full payment is created on fulfillment. You may, however, take a down payment on the HUC order to allow it to be partially or fully paid in advance of the fulfillment. This change will now allow that down payment to fully process - 40412
HUC - Added a safeguard to ensure that the Hold Until Complete flag can only be manually selected on orders with at least one back ordered item - 40053
Packaging - CMS was allowing back ordered items and in-stock items to be placed in the same package for imported orders - 37856
Order Entry - Editing a saved order and changing the size/color for an item was not properly restocking the original SKU or allocate the new SKU. This works as expected pre-save but not for editing a saved order. The ... button which is used to open the Size/Color selection window is now disabled after the order is saved. Edits to SKU's will require removing the original product and adding then adding the new product/SKU to the order to preserve proper inventory control - 40905
Products - Added field to the Inventory tab of Products for Minimum Order (quantity) which will also be displayed in Purchasing on the Items tab - 40383
Purchasing - Added display fields for In Multiples Of and also the new Min Qty field (see above) - 40383
Purchasing - Fixed an error message loop that would occur if you re-selected the same item (on the same line) where it would warn you that the item already existed on the PO (a PO can only have one instance of each SKU) - 40383
Contact Manager>Credits - When attempting to refund a customer credit from the Contact Manager, the Issue Refund button was not enabled for credit card payments unless you entered the refund amount first - 34107
Products - When scrolling in the product list and there was a kit and a product group adjacent to each other it would raise an error "Cannot perform this operation on a closed dataset: - 40765
eChecks - eChecks are only processed as a single step transaction (essentially authorized and captured at the same time) so we've made changes to Batch Approvals to all these payments to auth/capture in a single transactions even if the credit card payments are only authorizing - 40992
9.0.5.138
USPS Priority Mail Express - The US Postal Service has re-branded Express Mail and it is now known as Priority Mail Express. All references in CMS to Express Mail have been renamed to match the new naming convention. This change will not impact the integration with Dazzle but CMS is compatible with the new version of Dazzle should you decide to update it (Endicia calls the new Dazzle version an optional update) - 40670
Order Entry - The Multiship button was disabled for customers that had no first and last name. CMS requires a customer be selected before allowing the order to be converted to a multiship. CMS is now employing the same logic used elsewhere to determine if the basic element of a customer are present which includes contact name or company name and a city - 40953
9.0.5.137
Scales - Adam brand scales were not returning a weight after the first weight had been received by CMS. We've also added logging of serial scale communications to help troubleshoot future issues. This logging (file name - ScaleDebugLog.txt) can be enabled in Setup>General>Workstation Specific>Scales and Scanners - 40826
eChecks - Added option to unlock merchant account info which is otherwise locked after initial configuration - 40880
POS - Users of the free POS options in CMS (not the POS Module) were unable to edit POS orders after they were saved. They can now be edited the same as non-POS orders. The POS Module will continue to enforce editing controls on POS orders so that they can only be edited the same day they were created - 40438

Product Groups - Components that were out of stock were not being placed on back order. Also improved how product group parent items interact with their components allowing you to alter the quantity on the parent and it will update the component quantities or deleting the parent can optionally remove the components - 39861, 33234
