Product

  • Issue: If you delete a product that has custom field data then open another product the module would ask you to save changes.

  • Resolution: This scenario no longer causes an error as the voided shipment should not be considered during the reconcile process.

Customer

  • Issue: The new customer wizard would always do a default class of None.
  • Resolution: The new customer wizard now leaves the Class field blank so that it can always be set or does nothing.

Inventory

  • Issue: In the Inventory module "Display more Information" screen, the checkbox to "Show all location groups" was working incorrectly.
  • Resolution: Removed the checkbox so you only see inventory for your location groups.

Picking

Schedule

  • Issue: Attempting to run a Currency update schedule will fail if you are not connected to an accounting package.
  • Resolution: Running a Currency update schedule can now be done regardless of accounting integration.

Shipping

  • Issue: Voiding a shipment does not clear the SO Item's date fulfilled.
  • Resolution: Voiding a shipment will now clear the SO Item's date fulfilled as long as the quantity fulfilled goes down to 0.
  • Issue: When using serial numbers sometimes the list would be truncated between picking and shipping causing shipping errors stating there's not enough serial numbers.
  • Resolution: All serial numbers now correctly make it to shipping.
  • Issue: Some shipments show a successful ship but are actually failing in the background and not rolling back the shipment, usually on larger orders.
  • Resolution: These errors now cause the shipment to fail and roll back what was successfully shipped to avoid corruption.
  • Issue: UPS Ready COD settings were not working correctly in some cases.
  • Resolution: Updated the UPS COD options to be correct in the database.

Unit of Measure

  • Issue: When creating a UOM conversion it does not check if current items on BOM's are compatible with the new conversion causing errors when finishing Work Order's later on.
  • Resolution: An error now shows when current BOM items are not compatible with a new conversion.

API

  • Resolution: SO delete call removed to avoid this corruption. Use the Void API call instead.

  • Resolution: If an SO has no taxable line items we will not process the order through Avalara.
  • Issue: If a customer is set to Tax Exempt, the Sales Order would be changed to a Tax Rate of None.
  • Resolution: If integrated with Avalara, the Tax Rate for Sales Orders is completely determined by the Customer's tax rate. If the Customer's rate is set to "AvaTax Order" then it will process through Avalara.
