Blackpurl Release Notes — Part Statistics, Kit Settings, and Customer Record Updates

A summary of new features and improvements including monthly part statistics, kit document settings, a new customer licence field, and invoice due date integration.

What's New

Part Record — Monthly Part Summary Statistics

The Part Record Statistics tab now includes a Monthly Summary section, giving you a month-by-month breakdown of activity for each part. By default, the section shows Quantity Sold and lists every year in which there has been active sales for that part.
​

Shows a Part Record Statistics screen for Oil part number 123456 (In Stock). The screen displays a Monthly Summary secti


Use the dropdown on the Monthly Summary section to switch the view between Quantity Sold, Purchases, and Returns/Adjustments.
​

Change to Kits — Hide Kit Details on Customer-Facing Documents

Following feedback from dealerships, Blackpurl now includes a system setting to hide full kit line item details on customer-facing documents such as invoices. When this setting is enabled, the kit appears on the document with only its description line and total — the individual line items within the kit are not printed.
​

For instructions on enabling this setting, see How to Create / Add a New Kit and How to hide Kit line items on Customer facing documents (no longer available).
​

Customer Record — New Licence Expires Field

A Licence expires field has been added to the Customer Record. To set it, open the relevant Customer Record, click Edit, then click Add More Information and select the field from the dropdown options.
​

Customer Invoice — Due Dates from Accounting Package Terms

When accounting integration is enabled, customer invoices sent to your accounting package as Charge on Account will now have due dates set automatically based on the payment terms configured for that customer in your accounting package. For example, if a customer is set to 7-day terms, the integrated invoice will carry a due date 7 days from the invoice date, making it easier to identify overdue accounts.
​
