warning

Important Notice for Point Of Sale users:

To fix the "Failed Transaction with Results" error at POS below:

Enabling POS SURCHARGES in LOCATION MAINTENANCE will resolve.

Scenario 1 - No Surcharge Checked:

• Issue: The POS throws an error when no surcharge options are enabled.
• Workaround: Enable all three POS surcharge options in the system settings.

If Location Code is set like above, can apply fix below.

Once that's complete, see your Pay Type Codes under File Maintenance to make sure the Surcharge Fee and Amount Percent are BLANK so you don’t charge if you do not wish to.

Scenario 2 - Other Surcharges Enabled, but POS Not Used:

• Issue: Customers who have other surcharge options enabled (but not POS) may still encounter the error.
• Workaround: Enable POS surcharging anyway, but set the POS credit card pay type buttons to “No Surcharge” if they do not want to apply additional fees.

If you HAVE OTHER MODULES checked besides POS , still check the three POS boxes to correct this issue.

In POS the buttons can be checked for NO SURCHARGE BOX on the CREDIT DEBIT PAY TYPE and STORED PAYMENT OPTION buttons on a POS machine. This way POS doesn't surcharge, and the other modules are not affected.

Scenario 3 - All Surcharges Checked but Still Getting Error:

• Issue: Even when all surcharges are enabled, some users may still experience the error.
• Workaround: Simply uncheck and recheck the POS surcharge options to “wake” the settings and reinitialize them.

If you see the 3 POS Surcharge options checked already and have this issue just uncheck them, save, check them again, then save.

📅 September 15th, 11:00 PM – September 16th, 3:00 AM (ET)

tip

• Security – CTRL+F9 form security will allow you to lock down this List Delete to certain user groups as you see fit.

✅ Enhancements

Added surcharge options for Security Deposits, Service Deposits, Special Order Deposits, and Unit Sales Deposits.

Rather than calculating surcharge on the full Cash Receipt amount, the CC Surcharge is now calculated by line item depending on the Action.

• If AR Cash Receipts is enabled, Apply To Invoice and On Account will add to the surcharge calc.
• If Reservation Deposits is checked, Reservation Deposit will add to the surcharge calc.
• If Security Deposits is checked, Storage Deposit, Wait List Deposit, and Key Desposit will add to the surcharge calc.

🐞 Bug Fixes

Accounts Payable (A/P)

• Corrected APPostSub to calculate WAV cost without using a negative if the QOH is in the negative, qty zero will be used when calculating the new WAV in this scenario

Dockmaster Payments

• Fixed merchant setup issue in Location Maintenance causing connection drop when adding store ID to new setups.

General Ledger

• Fixed export issue with detail trial balance to excel with JT where comments field characters were causing indents or missing JT debit/credit amounts.
• Fixed trial balance bypass zero-activity for rolling report to ignore accounts with no debits or credits for the periods being printed as it should.

• Fixed penny issue happening in Boat Sales Contract on Accessories that had no cost but over cost was checked and sales tax became a negative.

• Set default for Labor Date Equal to ‘today’ in report DM.WO.TIME.REPORT to stop accidental report run of ALL labor entries at once.

• Fixed DICT BM – TOTAL.BILLCODES which had a sequencing issue.
• Fixed DICT SC which had spaces in dict item CM and was causing exports to create a blank column.

8.4.36.0 March 18th, 2025

Overview

This release introduces new features, enhancements, and bug fixes for Dockmaster 8.4.36.0, effective the week of March 17, 2025.

warning

DockMaster Desktop will be undergoing maintenance for an update to 8.4.36.0 on:

📅 March 17, 11:00 PM – March 18, 3:00 AM (ET)

During this time, the system may be temporarily unavailable.

✅ New Features

PCI Compliance for Secure Login & Clerks

To adhere to the latest PCI compliance guidelines, Dockmaster has implemented new credential management features for Clerks and Secure Logins.

Clerks (Dockmaster & POS Access)

• PCI compliance settings are disabled by default. Employers can enable them under: System Administration → Configuration → DockMaster Parameters → Clerks
• Why Enable PCI? Enabling PCI features ensures compliance with industry security standards, protecting sensitive information and mitigating risks. While optional for now, future regulatory changes may require enforcement.

warning

Dockmaster is not liable for security risks if PCI compliance is not enabled.

New PCI Security Requirements

1. Minimum Password Length: 7 characters (mandatory).
2. Password Complexity: Must include a mix of letters, numbers, special characters, and capital letters.
3. Password Expiry: Expires after 90 days, prompting a mandatory update.
4. Password History: Users cannot reuse their last 4 passwords.
5. Lockout Threshold: 6 failed login attempts result in a lockout.
6. Lockout Duration: 30 minutes, or can be reset by the local manager in Clerk Maintenance.

7. Session Timeout: Dockmaster and Point of Sale will automatically lock after 15 minutes of inactivity, requiring the Clerk to re-authenticate. If a different Clerk logs into a locked session, all previous work items and tabs from the prior Clerk will be closed.
8. Password Storage & Encryption: Front-end encryption enforced; passwords are no longer visible.

9. Account Inactivity: Clerks become inactive after 90 days of no activity (can be reactivated by the employer by removing the Inactive Date)

10. Authentication Logging and Monitoring: The DM.DM.CLERK.AUDIT report tracks key authentication events, including:

• Login attempts: Successful logins, logouts, and failed login attempts
• Account security: Lockouts due to multiple failed attempts, clerk unlock actions
• System access: Access to system security settings and customer records
• Password management: Password changes (own and other clerks’ resets)
• Payment actions: Credit card and token-based payment processing, including failures and void transactions
• POS register activity: Locking/unlocking of POS registers
• Customer record actions: Accessing payment options, pulling credit reports from boat sales contracts

Secure Login (Hosted Access)

• PCI functions are enabled by default.
• Includes the same password security but with a 12 character minimum, lockout, and expiration policies as Clerks.
• New Secure Login users must change their password on first login.
• Lockouts are released after 30min, or they can be reset by Dockmaster Support.

✅ Enhancements

Customer View Update

• F6 now pulls only active customers.
• F7 retrieves all customers.
