What's New
ReOpen Customer Order Invoices
You can now reopen all types of invoices generated from a Customer Order. The reopen action is available in the Invoice History section of a Customer Order — look for the reopen icon to the right of each invoice. If a particular invoice cannot be reopened, Blackpurl will display the reasons why.
For step-by-step instructions, see Reopen an Invoiced Customer Order.
Make / Model / Sub Model Descriptions on Temporary Units
Descriptions from your Make / Model / Sub Model definitions are now automatically applied to temporary units on deals. This keeps unit descriptions consistent whether you're working with stocked or temporary units.
For more information, see How to Create or Amend - Make / Model / Sub Model (no longer available).
What's Improved
The following issues have been resolved in this release.
Customer Orders
Resolved — an issue that caused an exception error when attempting to remove a part from a Customer Order (CO).
Resolved — an issue where what appeared to be an incorrect part or description was showing on an open Customer Order after the user had modified values on the part record.
Resolved — an issue with invoicing a partially received item from a Customer Order where current tax rates were incorrectly applied to the new line item instead of mirroring the existing line item.
Resolved — sync failures on CO Invoice Journals for Deal Merch and Deal Service, introduced in release 2.55.0.
Performance improvements on Customer Orders for the initial load when selecting the Sell button and for assigning technicians to a service job.
Vendor Orders and Vendor Receipts
Resolved — an issue where the Needed By value was not being populated on Vendor Order (VO) line items.
Resolved — an issue where a received VO item appeared as though it had not been received.
Resolved — an issue working with or creating a Vendor Receipt (VR) when the vendor had over 100 active VOs in the system, which caused the VR screen not to display.
Resolved — an issue with values not being rounded in VR, which resulted in an accounting sync failure due to an out-of-balance journal entry.
Parts and Pricing
Resolved — an issue with importing files into the Part Count Tool that contained unsupported line breaks.
Resolved — an issue with Automated Price File importing where an error would occur without notifying the user, leaving a never-ending processing spinner. Blackpurl will now retry three times before stopping the process and notifying the user. The number of records processed per batch has also been increased, reducing overall processing time to approximately one third of its previous duration.
Resolved — an issue where taxes were not being reset for a part moved from a merchandise section to a service job.
Units and Deals
Resolved — an issue creating order units caused by stock numbers not being removed from cancelled units.
Resolved — capitalization issues on the temp unit action button on unit deals.
Resolved — an issue with editing kits when the dealership's Blackpurl had an excessive number of models assigned to a make.
Customers and Accounts
Resolved — an issue caused by a blank Account Type on a customer record. The logic now applies a default account type in this scenario.
Resolved — an issue where the driver's license field appeared as selectable in the other fields list for business customers, where it is not an available field.
Shopify Integration
Resolved — an issue where a Shopify product title was being changed when the quantity or price of a part record was updated in Blackpurl.
Resolved — an issue causing duplication of products when new variants were published.
Reports and Other
Resolved — an issue with the invoice summary report where default filters were not automatically visible in the filter control dropdown.
Resolved — an issue with backspacing in a job notes field that caused additional blocks of notes to be deleted.
Resolved — an issue where duplicate locations were created during activation data load because location names had trailing spaces.
