Order Packing – a new packing option has been added which means users can now just enter the outer packs (with dimension and weight) details and not worry about the pack contents. Below is a recap on the available packing options:
- Build – generate packs and contents based on packing details set up on products
- Line – enter packing contents by keying the order line number – this is suitable when packing in the same order as the order lines are printed on the picking docket
- Grid – enter packing contents by entering the quantity to pack against the order items
- Packs Only – just enter the outer packs with dimensions and weight – no contents
Freight Charge – we’ve added a new ‘Other Charge’ type of ‘carrier calculation’. This allows a freight charge to be calculated based on a carrier’s rates and added to invoices at the time of despatch. As each carrier company potentially has a different method for calculating freight charges, this may not be an automatic ‘fit’ for the carrier you are using – but basically the calculation is:
Charge = (base.rate + rate.per.kg or use the minimum rate) + markup + fuel levy
Please contact our help desk if you are interested in this feature as there are a few steps to setting it up including packing, postcodes, carrier rate tables etc.
Product Upload – Suppliers and ranks – a new upload function is now available that lets you update the Supplier and their corresponding rank against products. There is also a corresponding download report to get you started with the spreadsheet file to upload.
Bank Transfer Only Payment Run – a couple of additional improvements have been made to this new process added in the previous release: document delivery options are now included for remittance sending and a link to the Bank Transfer report has been added to the finalise step for easy access.
Inter-bank Transfer reports – added the descriptive ‘detail’ field to the existing Inter-bank Transfer report in Accounts Payable, and added a new Inter-bank Transfer report to the Cash Management module.
