What's new?
Vendor Order - Active Orders
When creating a new Vendor Order (VO), if there are any existing VO’s for that vendor that are either Open or Locked, the user will be provided with a screen where they can see these existing VO’s and be provided with the option of selection one of these listed VOs if they want

Performance
Part Movement Report
We have resolved performance issues encountered when generating the Part Movement report when including parts with no activity
Global Search
We have improved Global Search performance by reducing the delay interval as well as when any paste event (cut and paste action into Global Search) is completed, we initiate a server call at the same time to also reduce delays
Customer Order > Unit Deal - Assign Salesperson
We have given the user the ability to now assign more than one sales person on a unit deal
Simply click on and then select the relevant salesperson
If you want to add more than one, simply perform the action again
Moving Customer Order Line Items
Users now have the ability to move CO line items from one Customer Order to a different Customer Order
For further information, please review our updated article - Moving Customer Order Line Items - to a new section on the same Customer Order or to a Different Customer Order
Unit Records - HREF links
On Unit Records > Notes section we can now have rendered HREF Links
This means that the user can add a link to the Notes section and then be able to click on the link and take you directly to it
Unit Record / Customer Owned Unit Record - Adding multiple images at once
Instead of adding each image individually, we have made a change so that the user can add multiple images at once
For further information, please review - How to Add Images on Unit Records / How to Delete Images from Unit Records
Customer Order - Adding / Importing multiple files at once
Instead of adding each import file individually, we have made a change so that the user can add / import multiple files at once
Unit Records - Unit Year
Due to some suppliers and manufacturer issuing paperwork with future dates two years in advance, we have ensured that we will always provide the option on Unit Records and On Order Units of selecting a year two years in advance
For example in the below screen shot - it is currently 2023 but we have given the users the option of selecting 2024 and 2025
Unit Deals - Selling Consignment Units
We had previously presumed that all consignment stock units would be used but have since found that some of our Dealerships actually sell new consignment units as well
To allow for the selling of either new / used consignment units, the Deal documents will no longer have the indicator of being new or used
