Assigning Serial and Batch numbers on a Sales Shipment
You are now able to assign Serial and Batch numbers at the Sales Shipment stage instead of just at the Sales Order stage.
There is no change to your business process if it requires the Serial and Batch numbers to be pre-selected at the Sales Order and prior to the creation of a Sales Shipment.

For additional information, please see the Help page.

Uninvoiced in the Backorder Enquiry Report
There is a new column in the Backorder Enquiry Report called "Uninvoiced" which shows the Total Amount the user still needs to invoice in the corresponding Sales Order (SO). This column is hidden by default and can be displayed by adding it in from the Hidden Columns.
If the SO is empty (no product lines), the field will be left blank. If the SO is still open but fully invoiced, it will display 0.00.

- Assemble Qty: no longer locked

3. Amazon US "Ignore Tax on Sales Orders" Setting
This is part of a series of releases we are having to better handle taxes in the US marketplace of Amazon. As per the screenshot below, we have introduced a setting to completely bypass the tax of your sales when handling Amazon orders within Unleashed. This is a good fit for users who use our Amazon integration with the US marketplace and who do not require tracking their tax liability through Unleashed -> Accounting Provider. When this is enabled we will not set the sales order line tax during order import.
