Microsoft Vista Compatible!
(Starting with Version 7.22)

  We are proud to announce many new features with this release.  As you will be able to tell upon reading about the new features, some of them are dynamic!  They will literally change the way you can use The Ultimate to keep a closer eye on the bottom line.  Please take the time to carefully read through this addendum to learn how to implement many of them.

Customer invoice history now holds last 40 invoices
In the past, the software linked only 10 past invoices to the customer, which was a major concern when looking up information on very active customers.  The customer invoice lookup has been increased to 40.

Rental invoice history now holds last 40 invoices
In the past, the software linked only 15 past invoices to the Rental item, which was a major concern when looking up information on top renting new releases.  Like the customers, the rental invoice lookup has been increased to 40.

Customer Account payments now show TYPE of transaction
You can now display the “type” of transaction that caused a balance due, whether it was for a late return, or the invoice was “Put on Account” at the time of the transaction.

Rental and Title activity now displays information about the last 24 months
This is a “Big One”!  No more “Period End Processing”.  In fact, no more periods!  Rentals will now be individually (or by title) tracked by each calendar month for the past 24 months.  For example, you can now display (or run a report) showing how many times a title or item rented last March, or April, etc.  During the update procedure, a utility will be run from your past invoice history to update previous months so this information can be used immediately.

Customer activity now displays information about the last 24 months
Another “Big One”!  Customers rental activity will now be individually tracked by each calendar month for the past 24 months.  During the update procedure, a utility will be run from your past invoice history to update previous months so this information can be used immediately.

 Additional User Information Now displays on Return screens
This new feature will inform your customer of which USER rented the item.  It will allow a greater percentage of customer account payments to be collected.

The Ultimate now allows you to process Re-Indexing upon startup
We have always recommended that your files be reindexed daily, but many of our users forget, causing possible problems.  You will now have the choice to activate this feature.

Individual Movie Comments now show on information screens
Sometimes, it is necessary to enter an important comment about individual rental items.  This comment can now be seen during invoicing by pressing F7 (Rental information) on the desired invoice line.

Rental Status Editing Utility now added
A utility has been added to quickly apply mass changes to your rental file’s “Current Status” field. This feature has been widely requested.

 Added Quick Selection screen for selling price of Rentals
You may now configure a selection screen of the most popular 10 price points for the selling of rentals.  When a rental is sold, this screen will automatically display to let you choose the current selling price.  This saves several keystrokes during invoicing.

PLUS...

Additional Sort and Range field selections on screen and printed reports.

Several New Security Features.
