Tax based on Shipping Address
We are continuing to make changes and improve our tax settings to cover all scenarios
In this release we have offered tax based on shipping address for our USA Dealerships
Once a shipping address has been added onto a Customer Order, the option to change the tax based on the shipping address is available
For further information, please review our article - USA - Tax Options on Customer Orders (including Tax as per Billing Address / Shipping Address)
Global and STA search changes for units
We have made a few changes to the Global Search and Search to Add (STA) on Customer Orders for Units
- Unit searching now does a much better job of handling search strings that contain one or more spaces ie "6x12 TT"
- In the Unit Deal STA, if a reserve unit matches the search criteria, the unit will show in the results but cannot be selected to add to the unit deal
Update - The Global Search will once again return matches to Sold units. Keep in mind that the sold units, will list last in the search result
Part barcode scanning update
Part barcode scanning has been improved on customer orders so that if a scanned part is already present in the part sale/service job then the quantity on the existing line item will be incremented by 1
This will make it easier for users to quickly scan multiples of the same part
