Extensions

During this release following modules were created / updated:

• Mandatory issuance for specific products (ie. guarantee) - French specific: French laws have introduced the no systematically printing of documents. However and for some specific products (ie. guarantees) it is mandatory to issue the sale including at least one of such products, by printing or by emailing it.
• Include the possibility to modify the organization in the copy discount process: For discretionary discounts, store sets and organizations filters cannot be applied. Some promotions are applied only on a few stores, so the process would be :
  • Step 1 : Creation of the first promotion with organization = Store 1
  • Step 2 : Copy of this promotion
  • Step 3 : Change organization to Store 2 without having to create a new promotion for each store. The step 3 is already not possible as the organization field is not editable after a copy. The target is to make this field editable in the copy discount process.
• Functionality to clone an existing Commercial Operation: This story is to develop a new functionality to copy an existing Commercial Operation ( no matter its status: not validated, validated, stopped). When copied, the new commercial operation is in draft mode to allow the user to change the dates, the list of stores, and the prices and then validate it as any new commercial operation created.
• Add Eco-contribution (French law REP buildings products): From January 1, 2023, marketers of Construction Products and Materials in the Building sector (PMCB) are subject to EPR (Extended Producer Responsibility): they become responsible for managing the end of life of their products. . Among the products concerned are insulating materials. this new eco-contribution is applicable to the item such as WEEE and DEA All templates are impacted because this ecotax is managed like other eco-contributions This tax is configured on PMETI but the amounts will not be entered until the beginning of April.
• Be able to resend the Webhook C_ORDER of tickets: When orders are created in the backend, an event is triggered and, if there are external systems subscribed to that event, those new orders are sent to the external systems. On some occasions, even if the event is successfully sent from Openbravo, the external system is not able to receive or process it successfully. Knowing the reference for the Openbravo orders that were not properly received, it is desired to be able to resend them to the external system.
• Basic authentication for the Client API: HTTP/HTTPS web requests executed by the Client API events can be configured with Basic Authentication.
• Openbravo Services Client API - Tax Free Forms: Client API extension to connect tax free form service providers.
• State and Persistance offline capabilities for AWO: New offline capabilities within AWO.

  • Ongoing Documents Persisted Model
  • Synchronization
  • Error Handling (Business related errors and technical related errors)
  • Transition to Online
  • Process Document
  • Back End Logic Changes.
• Coupon: supporting printing coupon at the payment step: today the printing of the coupon and the ticket is launch when the transavction is payd and closed to accelerate the process, we need to allow the impression of the coupon on the first press of the button paiement then when the paiment is finished the ticket can be print carreful this ticket would be don in multi step in a first time if i press the button paiment all the coupons are printed if i go back to the basket, and press the paiment button will print another time the coupons in a second time we will manage the coupons impression, if a coupon is already print we don’t print it a second time we should have a new button witch print all coupons of the ticket.
• AWO: Usability improvements in Assign/Unassign Tasks: A new Unassigned Tasks bar is shown below the list of tasks already assigned to the user. The toolbar has shortcuts to the enabled task types. When clicking any shortcut, it opens the Assign Tasks popup filtering by the selected task type. The same shortcuts appear in the Assign popup when opened directly. The enabled task types can be configured in the backend; if no task types are enabled, then Unassigned Tasks toolbar won’t be displayed.
• Editable Store set window fields start date and end date: The Store Set window fields start date and end date can be updated after the record has been created.
• Store Set - Add button "Add stores": As discussed during demo of store set window, we would like to have a button “Add Stores” in case it’s a regular set / “Add store sets” in case it’s a super set to be able to add several lines at the same time and not enter them one by one.
• Openbravo CRM : A Posteriori - Change of the customer in anonymous sales: With this module, a new option in the POS allows the users to assign a customer to previous sales that were assigned to the anonymous customer.
