2019.3

March 26, 2019
  • Allow for the completion of offline shipping methods through the Scanner UI in the Packing view.  Inside the Packing view the user will now see a toggle switch near the "Finished Packing" button.  This switch labeled "Ship Offline" will allow an order to be shipped "Offline".  If the shipping method does not have a way to retrieve a label then this switch will be locked to ship offline "Yes" and cannot be changed.  All shipping methods that can retrieve label's will default to ship offline "No", but the switch will allow the user to toggle it to ship offline.
  • Expand the functionality of external carriers.  External Carriers can now be setup through "System > External Shipping Methods", which will allow all the external methods to be created in one location.  Whereas before they could potentially be setup on each Merchant and Store.  Setting up a new External method will use the same fields as before plus a few new ones, but now they will use individual inputs to help ease the setup.  Once a new method has been setup the user will need to add, when appropriate, the method to the Rate/Zone Maps.  The method will also need to be added, if desired, to the System > Shipping methods under Default merchant and/or to individual merchants depending on the need.
  • Packages will now be separated by Manifest Code, this will allow packages to be separated by the trucks that pick up different groups.  Carriers such as FedEx will be separated by Ground, Express, SmartPost and Freight.
  • The Delivery Comments will now be shown in the Scanner UI During Processing as text inside a muted orange/yellow background area at the top of the page.
  • Adds a "Single Warehouse" allocation option to "System > Configuration > Sales > Shipping Settings > General > Single Warehouse Option".  The Single Warehouse can also be set in Order Scripts by using order.options.allocation_options = '{"single_warehouse":true}'.  It can also be set in the API order.create by using {"allocation_options":{"single_warehouse":true}}.
  • Hazmat packages can now be closed separately from non-Hazmat packages.  Also note that OP-950 should be replaced with Hazardous Materials Certification (docs say this is being phased out).
  • Updated: Various improvements to the Bill of Material feature.

2019.2

February 22, 2019
  • Amazon Seller Fulfilled Prime (SFP).  Allows an Admin user to set up an Amazon SFP as a carrier in the System > Manage Shipping Accounts page. When set up will allow the warehouse to fulfill Amazon Prime orders for the Merchants.
  • Allow orders and backorder orders to be processed ahead of other orders.  This is accomplished by allowing the Backorder policy to be set per order.  If no specific policy is set for an order it will use the Merchant's default backorder policy choice.  The other component is to allow the priority to be set per order.  This allows for an order to receive a higher priority and thus be fulfilled before other orders that have a matching product.  The priority can also be suppressed which will allow the other orders of higher priority to be fulfilled first.  If no priority is set the it will use the default value of "50".  Valid values are "0" through "100" with lower values equaling higher priorities.
  • Display recent order script errors in the UI.  When an order script generates an error, capture the error message and add it with a timestamp to a list at the bottom of the order scripts page in a section titled "Recent Errors" containing a grid with columns "Timestamp" and "Error Message".  When a script is saved all recent errors will no longer show in the grid.  A new column, on the main Manage Scripts grid, will display with the number of current errors (does not include deleted errors) titled simply "Errors".
  • Allow Splitting BoM order items between multiple shipments.
  • Updated: Google Maps API consumption which allows the Google Maps to work again.  The Scanner > Packing view > Classification page allows the user to view a Google Map of the address's location so that a user can make an educated guess as to whether it is Residential or Commercial.  Used when the System could not classify the address.
  • UTF-8 support in generated PDFs.  This allows special character to print correctly.  E.g.: ™, ®, •, ü, ’, “, and ”.
  • BOM-related API for Products in Orders and Shipments.

January 15, 2019
  • Adds global "Choose Merchant" widget to allow orders, shipments, products, etc. to be filtered by Merchant using a selection that persists between pages.
  • Added a field to save Tracking Numbers on Deliveries (ASNs/RMAs).  Deliveries can now have as many tracking numbers as needed and are now searchable in the Scanner > Delivery page by Tracking Number or any of the other reference fields.  The Scanner Delivery page also now lets you browse deliveries by Merchant or by Supplier name.
  • Use vue-multiselect to replace HTML multiselect.  Replaces the multi-select widget with one that is searchable and much more user-friendly.
