Changelog: Preferred locations, easily cancel products and more

Over the past few weeks, we've made great strides. We recently launched a Tower for your warehouse. In addition, we introduced several improvements that make your daily work easier. In this changelog, you can read all about it.

Preferred locations and location notes

When stock of a product is spread across multiple locations, Picqer automatically decides from which location(s) to pick. Sometimes you’d prefer a different location to be used. For example, when you want to free up that location for another product. You can now enforce this by setting that location as preferred, so Picqer will use it for new picklists. If you don’t set a preference, you can now also see which location Picqer will consider first for new picklists. More information

In addition, you can now add notes to locations on a product level. For example, to indicate what should be done with the stock at a location, where it comes from, or why it has a preference. This way, it’s always clear what’s going on with a location, and you no longer need to rely on printed A4 notes.

Easily cancel products from order

Sometimes you want to quickly cancel one or more products from an order. For example, if the customer changes their mind, or when a product is no longer available. You can now do this with a single action from the order page: Cancel products. It doesn’t matter whether the products are on backorder, on picklists, or both. Useful in the warehouse, and for customer service.

Other improvements

• You can now also remove virtual compositions from a picklist. Handy if you want to process them separately, or if a part can’t be found.
• Fulfilment clients can now set up a notification when a purchase order is marked as received. Additionally, they can edit product dimensions and weight themselves.
• With rules, you can now check the delivery address, delivery postal code, and other fields for numbers and letters. For example, you can detect orders without a house number and pause them.
• Purchase orders now show the total of received and expected products, underneath the total of ordered products.
• Invisible characters like spaces and tabs no longer affect search queries. And when searching for orders by email address, it no longer matters if you use uppercase letters.
• MyParcel shipments can now also be created for GLS. For UPS, you can now also choose ‘UPS Express’, in addition to ‘UPS Standard’.
• Pickup locations are now supported in combination with the WooCommerce V2 plugin from Sendcloud.
• Within a Movement, you no longer have to save changes before executing the transfer.
• Within the 'Orders' tab on a product page, cancelled products are now taken into account. This way, you always see what has actually been ordered.
• Via the API you can now filter orders and picklists by tags. It’s also now possible to retrieve the pause reason via the API.

We also fixed the following issues:

• Exporting large amounts of orders is fast again, as is exporting shipments for a single fulfilment client.
• The order log now correctly shows address changes made on the picklist.
• Within Receipts, the search field is no longer cleared after printing product labels.
• DHL Europlus shipments are once again created correctly via MyParcel.
• Virtual compositions can no longer be unintentionally linked to a location. And exclusive locations can no longer be linked to more than 1 product.
• Sending shipment updates back to Bol now works correctly for orders that are partly shipped directly (with different delivery promises), and partly via Bol.
