Audit Report improvement – Information exports are logged including date, time, and person performing the export.

Reports

Previously to this release, file exports were not recorded in the Audit Report whenever an information export was made from Cin7 Core .

With this improvement, users can use the Audit Report to track which file was downloaded from Cin7 Core , the date and time of the download, the location of the downloaded file, and the person who downloaded it. This will also help our clients protect their interest by knowing if their contacts, addresses etc. have been downloaded by one or more of their users.

This does not include report exports in this release.

Pre-conditions

  • Users will need the Can see user audit report permission in order to use this feature.

Report fix – Changes to reports saved in the current session will be maintained for this user in the next session

Reports

Our users were experiencing a problem that when changes were made to the layout of any report, the customised layout was not being saved, and the user would be returned to the default layout each time. With this release this issue has been fixed, and the layout for a report saved within the current session will be maintained for the user and opened in the next session.

Pre-conditions

  • Users will need reporting permissions in order to use this feature.

MRP – Merge suggested purchase supply orders from one supplier into a single order

Inventory

Previously, when producing suggested supply orders from MRP, purchase orders from the same supplier would have to be approved manually, or purchase orders could be consolidated from the purchase orders screen. With this release, users can now merge purchases from one supplier into a single order and generate purchase orders within MRP.

Purchase orders can be merged before or after performing an MRP run calculation.

  • New checkbox Consolidate suggestions by source has been added to MRP run settings. Purchases orders from the same supplier to the same location will be consolidated, using the earliest required by date as the date of the purchase order.

  • New button Merge has been added to MRP run ‘Suggested supply orders’, the button is always visible and enabled. Suggested purchase orders from the same supplier to the same location can be consolidated, using the earliest required by date as the date of the suggested purchase order. Simply select more than one purchase orders using the checkboxes and click Merge. User can later confirm to generate the supply order.

Pre-conditions

  • Users will need the Purchase: Purchase – List and tasks permission in order to merge purchases
