System Updates: Version 3.3.16

Read about the latest improvements and features we've added to the Salon by Premier Software product.

Improvements

We regularly review client feedback and support issues. The following items have been resolved in this release.

Appointment Codes - Start Dates

The application was previously configured to verify that any Start Date for an Appointment Code had to be prior to any End Date; so, an End Date was always required before a Start Date could be entered. This verification has been removed and it is now possible to enter a Start Date even if there is no End Date.

Appointment Confirmation

When booking multiple appointments for a client, the automation service sends the confirmation for all the appointments and marks them all as sent.

Discounts and adding further BIll Lines

We have resolved an issue whereby discounts were being wrongly applied to certain transactions. Formerly, if a discount was applied to a bill item, and then further items added to that transaction, then the same discount would be applied to the additional items. Discounts are now applied correctly, i.e. only to the selected bill item.
