In automation workflows, certain actions prompt you to send notifications via email. When this is an option, you will be given the option to edit the email template. Supported placeholders allow you to insert personalized information for the recipient, for example, sale order number or shipping tracking number. With this release, the carrier of the shipment has been added to the list of supported placeholders for sale workflows.

• When creating or editing a sales workflow, Carrier will be a supported placeholder in email templates. Email templates can be edited for event actions that allow you to send notifications via email (Notify and Confirm).

Advanced Manufacturing – Parent order data (tags, additional attributes, related sale orders) will be copied to nested orders

Advanced Manufacturing

Production BOMs can contain finished products (products with their own production BOM), forming nested production BOMs. When a production order is initiated for the parent product, production orders can also be initiated for nested products if they are out of stock. With this release, additional data from the parent order will be copied to any nested orders.

The following data will now be transferred to nested production orders:

• Production order tags
• Production order additional attribute sets
• Related sale order

Pre-conditions

• The Advanced Manufacturing module requires an add-on to the base subscription.

Advanced Manufacturing – New Production Run Shortage report

Advanced Manufacturing

With this release, we have added a new production report to show the quantity of components required for released and in progress production runs. This allows the user to assess which production runs can be completed with the current stock allocation. Available and on order quantities of components are shown and compared to the required quantities, displaying possible shortages. The report determines possible shortages assuming that orders in progress will be picked first, and remaining orders picked in order of Required By date.

The report does NOT display definite allocation, but assumes the user will allocate components according to order priorities.

Access this report by going to Reports → Production reports → Production Run Shortage Report

Pre-conditions

• The Advanced Manufacturing module requires an add-on to the base subscription.
