The first release of the year contains a wide range of improvements from the last few months of 2022, including a new login workflow, several improvements related to system security, and a wide range of bug fixes.
New Features
New Feature: The new and improved login experience will be made available on the web application over the next few releases. We are releasing this in batches, and the first release will just contain the new login workflow. In later releases, this new workflow will also allow you to set up multi-factor authentication for your user account (666034).New Feature: A new report is available, called "Sales orders archive". We currently see significant usage of the "Sales orders" report for a variety of different purposes, which makes it difficult to optimize. This new report is specifically optimized for retrieving historical order data, and in an upcoming release, the existing "Sales orders" report will be limited to showing only recent orders (and be optimized for that). Since the report is currently used by some integrations, the change will be announced on the Coming Soon page, and there will be additional notifications and a testing window to give those integrations time to adjust if necessary (647158).
Enhancements
Enhancement: Ongoing work to prepare for multi-factor authentication in later releases (709721, 390278).Enhancement: Ongoing work to prepare for upcoming improvements to the put away process. The new put away process will offer greater flexibility in defining put away rules for different products, including the ability to define rules based on items coming from specific locations, for example, to drive different processes based on whether an item is being put away from a returns location or a goods-in location. Stay tuned for more details on this in future releases (365519).Enhancement: Updated several third-party components used by various parts of the system. Keeping these components up to date is an important part of our security policy (592401).Enhancement: A wide range of general back-end security enhancements, ensuring that the system meets the latest industry guidelines (588323).Enhancement: Implemented several performance improvements to the sales orders import process. This should have a noticeable impact on the response times for large imports, which will in turn improve the overall performance of most integrations (367579).Enhancement: Implemented a wide range of additional performance improvements to the system, particularly focused on areas that check products and inventory. Those checks should be more efficient, leading to overall improvements across the application (550204).
Resolved Issues
Resolved Issue: Fixed a bug that caused the Pick Detail report to display incorrect quantities for some action types. This could previously happen when the same item was picked for multiple orders on the same action. We have changed the way these picks are recorded against orders so that this report can now more accurately display the details of the action (459661).Resolved Issue: Fixed a bug that could cause some orders to be missing from the despatch summary report. The report should now be correctly populated, and we have implemented a series of automated checks to ensure that data is accurately pushed into the report (641075).Resolved Issue: Fixed a bug that prevented users from being able to edit and save custom despatch documents (701498).Resolved Issue: Fixed a rare bug that could cause "sales order status change" event subscriptions to become stalled and require manual intervention to restart (405196).Resolved Issue: Fixed a bug that could prevent the destination location from being pre-filled correctly on "pick and sort to trolley" actions (392773).Resolved Issue: Fixed a rare bug related to barcode scanning that could cause double movements or screen freezes when the same barcode is scanned multiple times in very rapid succession (367824).Resolved Issue: Fixed a bug that caused actions to display their created date in UTC rather than the appropriate time zone (673866).Resolved Issue: Fixed a bug with skipping picks during an action that could lead to an incorrect "Action Completed" message being displayed (486553).Resolved Issue: Fixed a rare bug that could cause item searches to return items that did not match the specified criteria (632606).Resolved Issue: Fixed a bug that caused an availability change event to be triggered when the barcode of a removal reason was changed (403012).Resolved Issue: Fixed a minor UI bug that caused the help and feedback button to incorrectly overlap some other controls on the customer management popup (368255).Resolved Issue: Fixed a minor UI bug with suppliers that could cause the record to become unsavable if the credit limit field was imported as a blank value (514774).Resolved Issue: Fixed a bug that caused the sales order update history report to show times in UTC rather than the appropriate time zone (635702).Resolved Issue: Fixed a bug related to clearing fields on the returns screen after completing the return on the Android app (444287).Resolved Issue: Fixed a bug that could block users from saving updates to a sales order on the web app (679596).Resolved Issue: Fixed a bug that could cause the advanced search option to time out when searching for orders on the sales tab. The overall performance of the search has been improved, which should allow queries to be completed before timing out (364273).Resolved Issue: Fixed a rare bug that could prevent actions from being completed as a result of some allocation and deallocation problems (697291).Resolved Issue: Fixed a bug that caused the stock take approval date to appear differently between the web app and the reporting module (607640).
