This release introduces full editing support for temporary units in customer order unit deals, copy-and-paste support in Search to Add, and a reintroduced warning when manually adding stock units. It also includes a range of bug fixes and UI improvements.
What's New
Customer Order > Unit Deals — Editing Temporary Units
Temporary units in customer order unit deals can now be fully edited, including changing pricing and adding or removing factory options.
1. Open the unit deal containing the temporary unit.
2. Click Edit Pricing on the unit line. The Edit temporary unit pop-up opens.
3. Make your changes on the first page of the pop-up, then click Next to proceed.
4. Review or update the options on the second page, then click Save to apply your changes.
Customer Order — Search to Add (STA) — Copy and Paste
The Search to Add (STA) field now supports copy and paste. Pasting a value into the STA field is treated the same as scanning a barcode — if there is a single exact match, the relevant part is automatically selected.
Warning Added to Add New > Stock Unit Functionality
A warning has been reintroduced when adding a new stock unit using the Add New > Stock Unit functionality. The warning reminds users that this action sends a journal to the dealership's accounting package. If the user is not careful, this can cause duplicate entries in the Inventory General Ledger.
Blackpurl recommends consulting your accountant or bookkeeper before using Add New > Stock Unit. For more information, see How to Create / Add a new Stock Unit (no longer available).
The recommended process for stocking units into Blackpurl is through the Unit Vendor Order and Vendor Receiving workflow. For more information, see How to Process a Unit Order (Single Unit Order or Bulk Unit Orders) (no longer available) and How to process a Unit Receiving (Single Unit Receiving or Bulk Unit Receiving) (no longer available).
