Changelog: Bulk processing of products and fast printing of labels of final locations

Process orders with the same product in bulk

In certain situations, you suddenly receive a large number of orders for the same product. For example, with a pre-order product that can now be delivered, backorders that are available again, or a successful promotion.

You can efficiently process these orders by bundling them into a singles batch. This way, you collect all the products from your warehouse in one go and then process them order by order at the packing table.

But it can be even faster. Now, all picklists from a singles batch, with the same product and the same quantity, can be processed at once. With one click, Picqer processes all picklists, and the shipping labels are printed. This saves you many mouse clicks and time. Since you're only processing orders with the same number of items, you put the correct number of products in each package and attach a shipping label. This also makes packing and shipping quick and easy.

Bulk processing is only available on the new batch pages. Not using these yet? Enable it via Experimental Features.

Print labels locations at once

When printing labels for underlying locations, you can now choose to print the labels of all underlying end locations. This prints the labels of the locations at the deepest level.

For example, with one click, you can print labels from all end locations of an entire aisle. This can be useful if you forgot to print the labels while creating the locations in the wizard or if you want to start using location labels later.

Other improvements

• Setting up and managing exclusive locations is much easier, as you can now make locations ‘exclusive’ via location import, the wizard, and the API.
• You can set a preferred warehouse per fulfillment customer. We now also use this warehouse for returns, purchase orders, and receipts. This prevents stock from being registered in the wrong warehouse.
• You can view all movements of a product in the movement history on the new product page.
• You can view the stock history of a location or container through the detail page of that location and container.
• During picking in the app, you can now see which products are part of a composition with the help of a 'Component' label. This is useful if you want to assemble the products during picking.
• We have updated the display of purchase orders. Information is now shown separately in different 'cards', making it easier to intuitively find the correct details.
• We added a new API endpoint for shipments. With this endpoint, you can retrieve information about a specific shipment or all shipments.
• When importing products into an order, it no longer matters whether the quantity is specified as a numeric or textual value in the Excel file.
• The @ button to mention someone in a comment now works again after you have already typed something in the comment field.
• We now also include the via_portal attribute in the API response of an order.
