New Feature
Feature 1: Shopify – Load fulfilment information from Shopify to DEAR
Impact area: Shopify integration
Introduction: Previously to this release, the DEAR Shopify Integration was not able to import all Shopify fulfilment information to DEAR. With this update, all available fulfilment information including pick location, shipment address, date, packing info, tracking number and carrier for every item in the order can be imported to DEAR and used to auto-fill the pick, pack, and ship tabs of a sale.

- In Shopify: Shipment profiles are configured including –

- When an order is fulfilled in Shopify, Pick, Pack, and Ship are filled in and authorised automatically in DEAR and stock levels in DEAR are updated.
- If there is not sufficient stock in DEAR to execute the pick, the responsible person will be notified by email.
- Deleting a fulfilment in Shopify voids the fulfilment in DEAR.

Feature 2: Shopify – Restock a returned product at another location
Impact area: Shopify integration
Introduction: Since Shopify implemented a multi-location feature for its store front-ends, customers can sell from multiple locations and restock to multiple locations. Previously, returning Shopify sales to a different restock location required DEAR users to perform a manual stock transfer. With this release, DEAR captures the restock location from Shopify and generates an authorised stock transfer to the restock location to maintain correct stock levels.
Pre-condition:
- In Shopify: Multi-location feature is enabled.
- In Shopify: Multiple locations have been created and Shopify products have been assigned to multiple locations.
- In DEAR: DEAR locations and Shopify locations must be correctly mapped for auto-restocking.
Functionality:
- When processing a refund in Shopify, the user is given the option to Restock item at: [Location]. When such a refund is captured and processed by DEAR, DEAR will generate an authorised transfer order from the sale location to the restock location to ensure correct stock levels are maintained.

Feature 3: WMS – Multiple pickers per order now supported
Impact area: DEAR WMS
Introduction: Previously, two WMS users could not perform picking for the same order simultaneously. For some of our users, products need to be picked from different pick zones by different users based on product availability and business needs. In this release, DEAR has removed this limitation and allowed a user to enforce a single picker per order or allow multiple picking.
Pre-condition: None
Functionality:
- A new setting is available in DEAR WMS setup, Enforce single picker per sale, which is enabled by default.
- When enabled, only one picker can be assigned to a sale (see below). Once a picker starts picking a sale, no other pickers can pick the same sale. The first picker can partially pick a sale, then complete, so a second picker can continue.
- When disabled, multiple pickers can be assigned to a sale (see below). Multiple pickers can pick the same sale simultaneously.
- On the sale screen, the picker drop down is now a multi-selection field.
- Warehouse Details Report has been modified to correctly reflect multiple pickers for an order.
