New Features & Enhancements

Create Purchase Orders directly from the Suggested Order Report

When using "Print Creditor Reorder Suggestions", there is a new drop-down option for the Action:

Using the Create Orders option gives you the ability to generate one or more Purchase Orders in one step!


There are also several Order-specific options on the right-hand side, with one New option:

Print orders that are produced. This option allows the Purchase Orders to be generated, but not printed (when "No").


This process will Replace Any Existing lines in the Re-order queue if they are for the same products being Re-Ordered in this Report.

Note: Any Customer Order Lines will not be overwritten; but may be added to one of the Purchase Order(s) generated if the product matches the Supplier and Origin, plus any filter(s) applied.


How to create one or more Purchase Orders.

Steps:

  • After selecting "Create Orders" (above), the Suggested Order Report is Run (F9) and the following prompt is displayed.

Alerting you to the fact that this process will generate Purchase Orders (not just a Re-order Report).

  • The Printing Prompt is displayed; for the Suggested Order Report that has always printed when running this report.

  • The following Confirmation is displayed, giving you the ability to Cancel the generation of the Purchase Orders (and fix any settings etc):

OK - will generate the appropriate number of Purchase Orders (also displaying a count of how many Orders will be generated).

Cancel - will abort the generation of any Purchase Orders.


  • The Printing Options are displayed again; this time for the Purchase Order(s) being generated.

It is at this point the Purchase Orders are generated; then Previewed, Printed or Emailed for each Purchase Order.

Pressing Cancel will still generate the Purchase Orders, they will just not be displayed.

Note: Any Creditors that are setup to Email Purchase Orders will do so, or prompt to do so (as configured in the Email settings).


If you select NO for "Print orders that are produced"; the following message is displayed, notifying you that your Purchase Order(s) have still been generated.

You also have the option to choose "F4-Set Range" and use a Filter (e.g. Supplier) to generate a Purchase Order for one specific Supplier.

Some of the other filters available (including Supplier) are Dept/Group/Fineline, Bin Location and Brand.


Added the ability to edit the GP$ and GP% amounts in Quotes to re-calculate the Nett Price

In Point Of Sale;

Create a New Quote, or Modify an Existing Quote and click on the Profit Mode Tab to display the two GP fields.

Double-click one of these fields to edit either the GP$ or GP%, and enter a New GP; this is then used to re-calculate the Nett Price, applying a discount to that line.

  • This New GP and Nett Price would flow onto any Customer Orders, Invoices or COD's that are created from this Quote.


Striven Mobile Scan - added a "Packed By" field when uploading from a Scanner to a Parked Docket in Point Of Sale

There is a new "Scan File Type" Option - POS Parked Sale - when uploading from Striven Mobile Scan to Point of Sale.

When selecting POS Parked Sale, a new field, Packed By is displayed.

  • Packed By is optional by default; but there is a POS Setting (below) makes this field mandatory.

This field can be updated when uploading a Scan File from the Striven Mobile Scan app as a Parked Docket into Point Of Sale (POS).

"Packed By" will show in POS and also print on any Transaction Dockets or Receipts.

There is also a new option in POS Settings, on the POS Display Tab.

When Set to "Yes", this forces a Staff Number to be added as the Packed By to a Scan File Uploaded from Striven Mobile Scan to a Parked Sale.

  • "No" (the default) sets "Packed By" to optional when uploading from Striven Scanner
