This release covers new features and improvements recently deployed to Blackpurl, including bulk unit ordering, streamlined bulk unit receiving, a BRP parts ordering API update, a Part Count Tool logic change, and a collection of bug fixes and UI improvements.
What's New
Bulk Unit Ordering
Bulk Unit Ordering lets you create up to 50 identical units in a single action when creating order units.
The Bulk Unit Order action button is available as long as the VIN and Stock Number fields have not been populated.
For existing On Order units, you can use the Order More action from the view order unit page — provided the On Order unit does not have the VIN or Stock Number fields populated.
For full details, see How to Process a Unit Order (Single Unit Order or Bulk Unit Orders) (no longer available).
Receiving Multiple Units — Single Invoice
When receiving multiple units on a single invoice, you now only need to enter the invoice number and date once, rather than entering a unique variation for each unit received.
The Purchase Tax Code used for tax calculation on the Unit Receiving screen is now visible directly on that screen, with the ability to change it if required.
For full details, see How to process a Unit Receiving (Single Unit Receiving or Bulk Unit Receiving) (no longer available).
BRP Parts Ordering API Update
After a BRP Vendor Order (VO) has been validated by the API, you now have the option to skip submitting it to BRP via the API and instead set the VO status directly to On Order.
Part Count Tool — Change of Logic
The Part Count Tool's import logic has been updated so that part number values in the import file can now be matched against part record SKU numbers to find a match, in addition to the existing matching method.
