Retailer 3.3.1.X Update Notes

Retailer 3.3.1

Please note: If you are an accounting link user and you use the pending invoices function in invoice arrivals, please see the accounting link change below before exporting data after loading the update.
This Update contains over 70 changes including new features, enhancements from software ideas and of course some bug fixes.  All of the changes are listed below but the notable changes are:
  • Evergreen Connect Integration - Our Garden Centre and Nursery customers that use Evergreen Connect now have the ability to import purchase orders entered into Evergreen Connect.  This will significantly speed up your stock arrival process once the orders are received.
  • Customer Mobile/Email duplication Checks.  The software will now check when adding a mobile or email to see if it already exists.  This will prevent you from adding duplicate customers. 
  • Stock description case rules - Set a default case for your stock descriptions, your options are UPPER CASE, lower case, Sentence case, and Title Case. A utility is also available to change the format of existing stock items. See Stock Description Case Rules
  • Performance improvements to Quote and Invoice maintenance for large quotes. 
  • Supplier Invoices: Fixed an issue where pending invoices were not exporting when their status changed to no longer pending, after the invoice arrival date had passed. Your first accounting export after this update will include any missed invoices. This should not cause issues if you have manually entered and approved the invoice in your accounting program, as the link will prevent it from being imported twice. Otherwise, any invoices that have not been imported will be imported. If you use pending invoices, it may be a good idea to discuss this with the support team prior to your first export.
