7.3.0.0, March 2020

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 Commerce Backend

With previous code N

Orders are sent from  Extend Commerce 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 system. Previously  we have used a code N for sending back orders from the warehouse system to  Extend Commerce Backend 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 Commerce 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 Commerce Backend. 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 Commerce Backend, flagged with a locked reservation flag and will stay in  Extend Commerce Backend 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 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.

Rearranging the masterdata menu and giving it a new look

The masterdata menu for Product and Customer gets a new look, and with this change we have also rearrange the pages, gathering them at one place for easy access.

Notable changes for Product masterdata:

• We have moved all product masterdata into one page with underlying tabs for easy access.
• Product categories & Statistical categories can now be created through a tree structure, making it easier to create categories within categories
• VAT category gets a new name "Excise duty category"
• By pressing the category, you can add products to it in its own page
• 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.

Notable changes for Customer masterdata:

• We have moved all customer masterdata into one page with underlying tabs for easy access.
• Customer users page has been moved into this section. Previously it could be found as its own page in the menu.
• By pressing the category, you can now add customers to it in its own page.
• Statistical categories can now be created through a tree structure, making it easier to create categories within categories.
• Masterdata-settings page for customer has been moved and renamed to "Expected values". Here you set the values you expect users to specify when creating a customer in the system. Previously this was a combined page with expected values for products.

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 Commerce WMS with your  Extend Commerce Backend, the limit is 35 characters for products handled in  Extend Commerce WMS. The system will warn you if you exceed this limit when creating a product. If you do not use  Extend Commerce WMS the limit is 100 characters to comply with other warehouse system standards.

Version footer removed, About page introduced

Previously we have had a footer at the bottom of the screen showcasing the version of  Extend Commerce Backend. As this footer took up important screen real estate on mobile, we have instead moved this information to an About page located at the top of your Settings menu.

Archiving the old product page

Last month we introduced our new product page. Until now, the old product page has still been available to you during a transition period. With this release we will now archive the old product page.

Get price updates on order rows through our webhook

A webhook can now be set up to trigger when a price change has occured on the order row with the event/action: OrderDeliveryDataChanged.
