New Features

Feature 1: Production Module improvements – Inputs/Outputs, Wastage posting

Pre-conditions: None.

Functionality:

Some production processes need to stock the intermediate results (products) of their operations for use in later operations.

In the course of production some wastage can appear. These can include intermediate or semi-finished products which are unsuitable for production or finished goods which are unsuitable for sale. Waste costs can be either included into the production cost or posted to an expense account. This setting can be managed from Settings → General Settings → Purchase Process Customisation.

Feature 6: eCommerce, DEAR POS – process order adjustments for unfulfilled returned items

Impact area: DEAR POS, Amazon Integration, eBay Integration, Shopify Integration, Magento Integration, Magento 2.0 Integration, WooCommerce Integration, Shipstation Integration, Etsy Integration, Square Integration.

Introduction: Unfulfilled sales may occur when there is insufficient stock availability in the system but an eCommerce or POS sale is completed anyway. Previously when an eCommerce or DEAR POS sale is unfulfilled (for example, if an order was cancelled), the incomplete fulfillment would block credit notes from being issued and refunds from being issued.

DEAR has applied a fix to the logic of how credit notes, refunds and restock for such sales are handled. Credit notes and refunds are now processed for the authorised invoice amount, regardless of invoice status. Restock of unfulfilled orders is now controlled by new setting Ignore Restock for non-fullfilled Sales.

Pre-conditions: Active eCommerce integration.

Functionality: For DEAR POS and affected eCommerce integrations, credit notes and refunds are issued for the authorised invoice amount regardless of the fulfillment status of the order.

On the eCommerce/POS integration settings tab, a new setting Ignore Restock for non-fullfilled Sales has been added. This setting will be displayed only when the Pick, Pack and Ship processing mode setting value is set to Auto Pick+Pack+Ship.

In DEAR POS, a notification pop-up will appear informing the user if they about to process a sale for a product with insufficient stock availability. The user must confirm if they wish to go ahead with the sale.

 

Feature 7: Shiptheory – Select SO # or Invoice # as reference number

Impact area: Shiptheory integration.

Introduction: Orders are passed from DEAR to Shiptheory with a reference number which is printed on Shiptheory shipping labels. Previously this was set to the invoice number. Fulfilling a customer request, a new setting also allows the sale order number to be used as the reference number.

Pre-conditions: Active Shiptheory integration.

Functionality: In Integrations → Shiptheory, set Use as Document Number to either Invoice number or Order number.

Feature 8: Shopify – separate fulfillment settings for POS/website sales

Impact area: Shopify Integration.

Introduction: For DEAR Shopify integrations, the same business could have their operations running through a website and POS for the same Shopify store. Shopify users would like to have different fulfillment processes defined for the sales initiated through Shopify POS compared to through their Shopify website. An extra layer of validation has also been added to correct issues with fulfillment of Shopify POS orders containing serial/batch products.
