Comment Field Functionality

Now, it also correctly outputs information for certificate use and is available on the PDF output, ensuring comprehensive documentation.

Customer/Site Email in Communication Center

Added functionality to include Customer/Site Email in the Communication Center for service reminders. This enhancement ensures that emails are correctly loaded from the default center when rules are applied for new customers and sites.

API Enhancements for Creating SKUs

We've made several updates to improve consistency between the web app and API when creating stock items:

Stocking Unit Rule Aligned: StockingUnitCode is now only mandatory if your system has the StockingUnitMandatorySetting enabled.

VAT Code Handling Improved: VATCode is no longer mandatory. If provided, it will be matched to the system's VAT code; if not, the default VAT code will be applied automatically.

New Support for SA Code and PA Code: SACode and PACode can now be passed when creating stock via the API. If provided, they must match a system code; if not, the default codes will be applied.

New Support for Product Group Name: ProductGroupName can now be passed on the API. If it matches a system value, it will be linked; if not, the request will be rejected. This field is optional.

These updates ensure smoother integrations while maintaining system data integrity.

Nominal Code Mapping in QuickBooks

We have refined how nominal code mapping is managed in QuickBooks for enhanced clarity and efficiency. Previously associated with class, the nominal code mapping is now integrated with the Chart of Account, offering a more streamlined and intuitive categorisation of financial data. Furthermore, the department code is now aligned with class, ensuring better alignment of organisational structures within your accounts. This update aims to simplify navigation, reduce errors, and improve the overall user experience by aligning with commonly used accounting practices. We believe these changes will contribute to smoother financial management and reporting.

Warning Message for Scheduled Reporting

A clear warning message has been added to the Scheduled Reporting screen. This notification informs users that reports scheduled using this feature will encompass data from all depots and include all permissions.

Fixes (9):

Forms Data Display Issues

We have resolved an issue where forms data did not display properly on the web in various scenarios, including when raised from the mobile app for service and repair jobs with or without equipment type linked.

Duplicate Transport Charges in Invoices

Duplicate transport charges were applied to all invoices despite the additional charge option being set to 'Charge on Next Invoice'. The rolling contract process was inserting extra schedules with additional charges, which has now been corrected to prevent duplication.

Job Submission Error

Jobs could not be submitted due to a message advising to update clock hours, even when the hours were already filled out. This fix ensures smooth job submission without unnecessary prompts.

Margin Calculation Issue

Resolved an issue where jobs could not be submitted due to a problem with margin calculations. Previously, the margin was being compared based on the value rather than the percentage. This fix ensures accurate margin handling and smooth job submission.


​Apostrophe Display in Form Results

Fixed an issue where apostrophes in saved answers were displayed incorrectly as ' . Apostrophes now display correctly, ensuring accurate results.

Engineer Assignment in Job Control

Resolved an issue where only one engineer was added to the list when selecting a team in job control. Now, all engineers from the selected team are correctly added, ensuring smooth and efficient assignment.

Note Field Overlap in Popup Screens

Fixed an issue where the Note field was highlighted and overlapped with popup screens. This improvement ensures a clear and accessible user experience by keeping the Note field in its proper place.

Accurate Contact Information in Email Templates

An issue preventing contact and customer names from appearing in email templates has been resolved. Primary contacts are now displayed correctly, ensuring accurate and seamless communication.

Improved Popup Interface for Job Quotes

Resolved an issue where the text area field overlapped with the popup screen when selecting equipment for a job quote. This fix ensures proper spacing and layout consistency, improving usability and accessibility.
