Below you will find information regarding what the release included for March, 2020. Release: 7.3.0.0

New code M replaced code N for manually handling deviations between Ongoing and Extend

With previous code N

Orders are sent from Extend Backend to different warehouse systems when it is time to pick the order. But sometimes, changes has to be made to the order after it has been sent to the warehouse sysem. Previously  we have used a code N for sending back orders from the warehouse system to Extend in order for those changes to be made. With this code N, the order would after a time (depending on your sync setup) automatically be reserved once again and be sent back to the warehouse for picking. This was creating confusing amongst those using the Ongoing warehouse system together with Extend Backend as the window would depend on the synchronization settings for your standard integration, making it hard to define the amount of time you had to make changes to the order before it was reserved again by the system.

With code M

We therefore introduce the code M between Ongoing and Extend. When changes has to be made to an order, it will now be sent back with the code M instead of code N for this integration. The code M means that the order has to be manually handled by a user before it can be sent back to Ongoing. The system will no longer automatically reserve the order and send it to picking. Orders will be locked in Extend, flagged with a locked reservation flag and will stay in Extend until a user tells the system that it now can reserve the order again. These orders can be found in the Search order row page through the filter "Wait reservation". After making your changes, you have to here release this flag by selected selecting the order's rows and select "Release locked reservation" in the pop up to enable the system to once again reserve the order and send it to picking.

• Masterdata-settings page for product has been moved and renamed to "Expected values". Here you set the values you expect users to specify when creating a product in the system. Previously this was a combined page with expected values for customers.

Add price incl. VAT in the order booking, order list and return ordern

You can now add price incl. VAT as an option to adding price excl. VAT when booking an order, editing an order in the order list, creating a return order och editing an return order in the return order list.

If amount added in the price incl. VAT field, we will calculate what excl. VAT would be with the use of the VAT. 

Product numbers gets a counter & character restrictions 

You can now with the new product page create products with our new product number counter. This means that when you create a product you can, like with customers, let the system specify the product number for you if you leave the field empty. The system will take the smallest number possible and assign it to the product.

With the new product page we will also limit the amount of characters possible for a product number. If you use Extend Warehouse with your Extend Backend, the limit is 35 characters for products handled in Extend Warehouse. The system will warn you if you exceed this limit when creating a product. If you do not use Extend Warehouse the limit is 100 characters to comply with other warehouse system standards.

A

We have created a new page in the Settings menu where you now can administer scheduled jobs. This means that you can see which jobs are active on your client, see the history of when the job has been run and force the job to be run though this page.

Search by GTIN / EAN in the order booking page

When booking an order you can now through the product search feature search for products by GTIN / EAN number. In the table you will now find four different columns displaying the different GTIN / EAN numbers available per unit for the products. You can show or hide these columns by pressing the cog wheel icon in the table.
