Feature Updates​

New Feature: Purchase Demand (Broker add-on)​

Managing purchases across multiple customer orders and vendors is now easier with the new Purchase Demand feature. It brings customer demand and vendor purchasing together in one place, helping you see what needs to be purchased, what's already planned or ordered, and which customer orders each purchase is intended to fulfill. Key Features:

  • Centralized Purchasing: View combined demand across Sales Orders and Master Orders, organized by item or individual order lines, with filters for customers, vendors, and ship dates.
  • Purchasing Queues: Quickly see what still needs to be purchased, what's planned with vendors, what's on Master POs, potential delays, and quantities that need attention.
  • Purchase Links: Connect customer orders to Purchase Orders, Master Purchase Orders, or vendor plans, even when multiple vendors or purchases are involved.
  • Vendor Planning: Plan quantities with vendors before creating Purchase Orders, then turn those plans into actual purchases when you're ready.
  • Visual Purchasing Coverage: Easily see what's covered, what's planned, and what still needs purchasing, helping reduce shortages and unnecessary purchases.
  • Automatic Updates: Purchasing links are maintained as orders are split, released, backordered, or adjusted, with exceptions highlighted for review.
  • Change History: Review changes to purchasing links, including quantities added, moved, adjusted, or removed.

Label/Tag Printing​

  • Tag Types: Labels can now be categorized by tag type, such as Stickers, Pot Stakes, Hang Tags, and more, making it easier to organize and print different types of labels.
  • Tag Type: Tag types that are no longer needed can now be marked inactive.

Pre-Pricing​

  • Pre-Pricing Group: Added a short description field to help identify and organize pre-pricing groups.
  • Pre-Pricing Print (New) A new screen makes it easier to print customer pre-pricing labels and tags directly from sales orders. View totals by tag type, select what to print, and quickly identify missing information before printing. Labels with missing required data are prevented from printing based on pre-pricing group preferences.
  • Excel Export: Exporting customer pre-pricing information to Excel is now significantly faster, with much smaller file sizes.
  • Pre-Pricing Import (New): A new step-by-step process makes it easier to import or update customer pre-pricing information from Excel, CSV, or pasted data. Simply drop or upload your file, match the columns, and review the information before importing. Any issues are highlighted so they can be corrected, and only valid rows are imported. Column mappings are also remembered for future imports, saving time on repeat tasks.

Bug fixes​

  • Master Order: Fixed an issue where the screen could become unresponsive when adding a shipment with a ship date that already existed.
  • Pre-Pricing: Fixed an issue where size exclusions in the pre-pricing configuration were incorrectly affecting size selections when assigning tags by size.
  • Shipping Load: Fixed an issue where deleting a shipping load was not removing the association between the load and its Purchase Order, including Purchase Orders released from Master Purchase Orders.
  • Shipping Load: Fixed an issue where the actual load weight was not always recalculated correctly when item quantities were adjusted on an order.
  • Sales Order: Fixed an issue where Add from Vendor Items did not display items when the order vendor was set to Brokered.
  • Master Order: Fixed an issue where moving duplicate items between shipments combined them into a single line instead of keeping them as separate lines.
  • Vendor Item Import: Fixed an issue where clicking Rematch List did not process all unmatched items.
  • Portal: Fixed an issue where an incorrect IP address required message could appear when attempting to log in.
  • Product Status: Fixed an issue where the Vendor Items tab could appear more than once after clicking the Overview tab.
