Send PO Cost Date - Xero

The cost date entered in Unleashed will now be sent to Xero.
As a result of this, if that date differs from the supplier invoice date in the PO, a separate bill will now be created and exported to Xero for the purchase costs. 

Previously, regardless of what the cost date was set, when the order was completed or receipted in Unleashed, the date sent to Xero for the costs reflected the supplier invoice date and would therefore be included in the same bill.

To ensure only one bill gets passed through to Xero for a PO, you will need to ensure that the cost date is the same as the supplier invoice date.

Quantities are also available on the following KPIs: Allocated stock value; Available stock value; Open Purchase Order value and Backorders value.

Business Intelligence - BI Vision | Sales - "FreeCredits"

On the BI Vision Sale page, you will find a dimension showing your Sales Revenue measures per Transaction Type. In the past, all credits were grouped under one label. With the latest improvement, we now have split this group into FreeCredits and normal Credits linked to Sales Invoices. Now it is easy to see which customers received free products, just select your timeframe and click on the FreeCredits label in the Chart.

 

If you want to see the total value of all credits simply use the Task menu on the chart to multi-select Credits and FreeCredits from the list and apply the filter.

Wednesday 11 May

Business Intelligence - BI Vision | UX improvement - "Sticky" KPIs

We are super excited to announce this great improvement to our BI Vision Pages. Previously when viewing the bottom dimensions of a BI Vision page, the KPI values and filters on the page were invisible to you, you had to scroll to the top of the page to view them or select a different measure.

Now with the latest BI UI we made the KPIs and cross-filters "sticky" so that when you scroll down to the bottom of the page you can still see a smaller version of the KPIs and the filters you applied to the page.

Collapse or expand this panel, just click on the small arrow, always visible when you are at the bottom of the page. Go into Unleashed and try it out, just click here.

Product Unit of Measure changes:

In preparation for multiple units of measure for purchasing, unit of measure has been added to the Products | Purchases tabs.  These are display only and default to the unit of measure recorded against the Product.
There is also a small change to the Product Unit of Measure validation - the Product's unit of measure can remain blank, however, once you assign a unit of measure to a product, you cannot clear the unit back to null.  As a workaround, you can create a unit of measure called "None" or "N/A" and assign that unit to the Product instead.
