What's New
Pick&Execute pattern: P&E aims to replace all process popups with a generic design pattern. The essence of P&E lies in reusing objects that are picked from a larger collection. Sometimes this collection needs to be filtered in steps while picked objects need to be kept. Sometimes the picked objects need to be edited. The final set is eventually submitted as a process and adds or replaces existing sets.
- Canvas Fields (Front-end Computed fields): Ability to define fields that are not backed by a physical column but by a javascript expression that is computed in the front-end
- GL items replacement: It should be possible to replace GL items as well as its corresponding dimensions in "GL Item" transaction types, after being reconcilied.
- Credit payment and invoice payment matching: Make a relationship between the credit payment (the one reconciled) and the later on created invoice payment
- Payment Report Improvements: Some additional info such as BP balance needs to be added to payment report.
- Return of Materials: Return of Materials feature includes two different flows:
- RMC: Return material from customer. This flow manages customer returns orders, the physical inbound of returned materials and the financial settlement for customer refunds
- RMV: Return material to vendor. This flow manages vendor returns orders, the physical outbound of returned materials and the financial settlement for vendor refunds
