ARI V9.6 is here
Here are some of the most important changes in this release
Tax Settings
You can now change the default tax setting for parts and labor items.
IMPORTANT: follow the instructions below before you create any new invoices or jobcards
Go to Profile/Tax Setup scroll down to Tax Settings and change the checkboxes according to your business requirements. Hit the Save button even if you did not make any changes.
From now on, all new parts or labor items added to your invoices will have the default Taxable field loaded according to the settings above.
PartsTech Integration
This allows you to order parts from your favorite local suppliers right from inside ARI. Before you can do this, you first need to create yourself a free PartsTech account and then connect it to ARI.
NOTE: PartsTech currently works only in US and Canada for now.

You can add multiple lines on your invoices by simply pressing the Enter button (new line) on the input fields. The supported fields are

This allows you to add your own additional fields to your online booking page. Here’s how to do it:
go to Appointments -> More -> Additional Info and add new fields that you require to be answered by your clients.
