What's New
Vendor Order / Vendor Receiving for Stock — Supersession
Blackpurl has expanded how part supersessions are handled on Vendor Orders (VO) and Vendor Receiving (VR) for stock needs.
Previously, users received only a notification that a part had been superseded to another part number.
When a VO or VR line item is for a stock need (not a Customer Special Order need), users can now update the line item to reflect the current part number.
This option is available even when no supersession has been set up yet on the part record, allowing users to create a new supersession relationship directly from the VO or VR.
For full details, see Parts Supersessions and Alternate Parts.
Special Order Units
Dealerships can now convert a temporary unit on a Customer Order Unit Deal into a special ordered unit in the Unit Ordering section.
This removes the need to re-enter unit information manually in Unit Ordering.
A link is created between Unit Ordering and the Customer Order for the On Order Special Unit.
The dealership still needs to assign the relevant vendor and process the Unit Order through to Unit Receiving, invoicing, and other steps.
For full details, see How to Turn a Temporary Unit on a Unit Deal into an On Order Unit (Special Order Unit) (no longer available).
Unit Ordering — Ability to Change the Vendor
Dealerships can now change the vendor on an On Order Unit using the edit functionality in Unit Ordering. This covers two common scenarios:
The original vendor can no longer supply the unit.
The On Order Unit was processed against the wrong vendor.
For full details, see Change / Edit an On Order Unit (no longer available).
