Transport settings - add and adminster your transport options

New featureSettingsRequires support to active: NO

You can now administer forwarder and freight options directly in Extend Backend. You will find the Transport settings page under General settings.

Previously you had to contact Extend to add new forwarders or new freight options. We have now moved out this function so you easily can add any of the options available in Extend.

On your transport agreement you can add all transport modes that you use. Once added, you can configure them through different actions. 

Under Actions you can add custom settings, configure add on services and specify which order types the transport mode should be active for. By default a transport mode will be active for all order types. If you wish for the transport mode to only be active for specific order types, such as only for warehouse transfer orders, then you can configure this under the "Order type" action.

Once you have added your options here you can start using them in Extend by creating freight price lists with the different transport modes. If you use the API or in other external options to create orders, the transport modes only have to be active in the settings as freight price lists then are not used.

Convert an order to a warehouse movement order

New featureOrder managementRequires support to active: NO

An order can now be converted to a warehouse movement order. To convert, find the order you wish to convert in the order list. Thereafter, press the icon to convert the order to a MBW order (Move between warehouse).

When converting you can set a new asked delivery date if you please. You will here also specify which warehouse the order will be moved and delivered to. It is also possible to complete the order and set the rows to picked here. This is useful to you who uses virtual warehouses (BI) in in  Extend Commerce Backend.

You can only convert an order which has not yet been sent for picking, meaning, the status of the order needs to be "created" or "ordered" in order to convert it to a MBW order.

Note

Please note that this conversion cancels the original order and create a new warehouse movement order. You will se on the original order under "Your reference" that is has been converted. You will also see the whole process in the process log and see which user has converted the order.

External system connections

Administer your payment options in  Extend Commerce Backend

New featureOrder managementRequires support to activate: NO

We have made it possible for you to administer the payment types available in the order booking on your own. You will find your payment options in General settings under Order settings.

Payment types are available payment options for customers when booking an order. This could for example be Invoice or Advanced payment. This means you no longer need to contact Customer Support to add any of the payment options available.

If you use API or other external ways to create orders, you need to specify the code to identify the payment option. This code is called Short name.


With this change we have removed the connection between order types and payment types, making payment types standalone from order types. You do no longer need to have payment types activated per order types, such as normal order, warehouse transfer order etc. The payment options are no longer dependent on the choice of order type on the order.

If you wish to create a new payment option than those available, this requires a Request For Change ticket.

Return code for refunding your orders

New feature
General
Order managementRequires support to active: YES

A return code has been added for return orders which can be used for refunding purposes. If you want to handle refunding of orders in in  Extend Commerce Backend, there is now an option to create a return order for that order with a specific return code, Q. By creating a return order with this return code and set the credit invoice action to "Immediate", the return order will be automatically cancelled right after the credit invoice has been created. This way, you will be able to create a credit invoice to refund the order, and achieve tracability traceability for the original order.

This return code Q is to be used for refunding cases where we never expect to recieve receive the product to the warehouse. The return code thus cancel the return order immediately, but creates the necessary credit invoice for the refund.

This procedure enables trackability on orders which are refunded as the return order is connected to the original order. 

Info

If you would like to know more about this refunding functionality or want this return code enabled in your system, please contact our Customer Support.

Handling of added rows in Ongoing after orders have been sent to picking

Imrpovement
ImprovementOrder managementRequires support to active: NO

If an order row is added and picked in Ongoing after the order was created and sent to picking from from  Extend Commerce Backend to Ongoing,  Extend Commerce Backend will fail to match that added row with a row in in  Extend Commerce Backend as the row does not exist in in  Extend Commerce Backend. This will occur if warehouse personnel for example switches the size of a product on an order, but the two sizes are two different products with different balances. The system will now log this as an error message describing the problem, and will thereafter mark the shipment to display this.

If an order has to be edited after it has been sent to picking, the order has to first be sent back to to  Extend Commerce Backend for adjustment. You then have to resend the order from from  Extend Commerce Backend to Ongoing for picking.
