Extend knowledge center:
In the near future, we intend to switch our case management system to Jira Cloud. This is still part of the Atlassian product portfolio that we already used today, but a cloud-based one.
As a first step, we will change confluence where you can find our Manual & Knowledge Center today. It will not mean any direct differences for you as a user – you will find the same information here.
However, we will have a new url for this page, so if you have saved the current link for this, we recommend to update it to https://extendcommerce.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/KB/overview .
ERP (Backend)
Email headers will be retrieved from Backend
Area: | Requires support to activate? |
General settings | No |
All automatic emails that go out from Extend have a header, some emails have taken their header from this page, some have not. Nowadays all emails get their header from here if they are filled in, otherwise it will get from the old way where Extend support set up the header. We recommend everyone to go through these "topics" before release Invoice email can be changed under "Financial settings → Email Settings" | |
How to access it? | |
Kugghjulet → Övriga inställningar → Epostinställningar |
Receive an webhook when the order point is reached per product
Area: | Requires support to activate? |
Warehouse | No |
It is now possible to receive an email notification when the safety stock falls below a certain level of an entire stock. We have now added that you can also receive a webhook at order points per product. By entering the email address (or several by separating with ; or , ) you can receive an webhook when the balance is below the order point. The purpose is in case a specific person is interested in the stock balance of a product. Then they can receive a notice This email info can also be entered via uploads and via API. It is also possible to listen when a product falls below the order point via Webhooks. NOTE: Applies only to those with EDQC as acquisition method. | |
How to access it? | |

Blue status icon indicating allocated balance at order-main level
Area: | Requires support to activate? |
Order | No |
Inside the order main page, we have added another column called "Allocated" This shows a become icon which indicates that the entire order is fully allocated to the balance in stock and needs (mostly) no action. Some rules when the icon appears:
Some rules when the icon is not displayed:
The purpose is to be able to quickly get an overview of whether everything is in stock to deliver the order. | |
How to access it? | |
Main menu → Order → Order → The table You can press the gear wheel to show/hide the “Allocated” column or move it around to where you think it fits) |

WMS
Made inventory locations less sensitive to accidental selection
Area: | Requires support to activate? |
Warehouse movement | No |
In several places in the WMS, you can select a storage location by pressing. If you have many empty storage locations, the list has become long and there is a risk that you accidentally click on a different storage location than the one you intended while scrolling on the page. We have now made it so that you have to press the green area to select a storage location. Previously, the entire red area was active for pressure. | |
How to access it? | |
Wherever there are storage location lists. |
Reassign an order line under aggregated multi-pick
Area: | Requires support to activate? |
Order | No |
After you create a multiplock, you get two choices:
When you make an aggregated multiple pick, the balance may not be available at the location, or you may want to pick from a different storage location than the existing one. Then there were 7 steps earlier to be able to do this. (Marked with red arrows below). In the new function, you get directly to the view where you can re-reserve the balance or note the remaining balance on the line. (marked with green arrows below) | |
How to access it? | |
Enabled for everyone |
Handling marking during multiple picking in progress
Area: | Requires support to activate? |
Order | Yes |
A few versions ago we added the possibility to show "Handling label" from the Backend in the WMS in a clearer way for the overview of a multiple pick before starting to pick. Now we have built on that function by alerting the picker even during the actual pick, the change is made for aggregated multiple picks. | |
How to access it? | |
The setting needs to be activated by support, but if it is already active, you get the function automatically. |
Quick move of pallet ID directly from "Search product"
Area: | Requires support to activate? |
Warehouse movement | No |
When you have searched for a product, you sometimes want to move it immediately because it might be in the wrong place or similar. Previously, you had to copy the pallet number and go to "Stock transfer". Now we have made a shortcut where you can directly move the pallet The button is not visible if the pallet number is being picked by an order. Tip: You can see if it is under picking during the balance summation (however summed per storage location) | |
How to access it? | |
Main menu → Search product → Search product → Balance list → Change |
Go directly to transport booking from single pick
Area: | Requires support to activate? |
Order | No |
On single pick-up, you have previously ended up at an intermediate landing place after pressing "Confirm with transport" where you then had to press "Book transport". This has been to provide the opportunity for joint transport. Now we have changed so that you can go directly to the transport booking page by changing the button of the day when the single order pick is complete: Pickers who have previously created shared transports now need to click on "Shared Transport" to be able to do so. If they happen to press the usual button that has been given a new function, they can go back to "Picked orders, to complete" and choose combined transport | |
How to access it? | |
Main menu → Order picker → At the bottom of the earth when it is fully packed. |
Create multiple batches from "Find identical orders"
Area: | Requires support to activate? |
Order | No |
Under "Find identical orders" it was previously only possible to create batch picking, which required a special handling of the picking process. Now we have added so that you can create "Multiplock" directly This makes it possible to access all the functions we added to the order pick page | |
How to access it? | |
Main menu → Find other orders |

Webshop | No |
It is now possible to add a box inside the online shop that shows the customer's available credit: It is also possible to limit that the customer cannot place an order above their limit, but this requires support to set it up. | |
How to access it? | |
You have to go via Gear → Other settings → Client settings: View available credit in Extend B2B |
