Changelog

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.

Summer is coming to an end again. Hopefully, you were able to recharge well and prepare for peak peason. We haven’t been idle either. Besides many small improvements, this time we also have a nice update for fulfilment. You can read all about it in this changelog.

Virtual compositions in the fulfilment portal

Fulfilment customers can now manage virtual compositions themselves in the fulfilment portal. In addition to modifying parts, they can also create new virtual composition and convert existing products. This means they no longer need to contact you as a fulfilment company. Less hassle for you, more convenience for your fulfilment customers!

Other improvements

• In the order log, we now also show changes to the address and contact details.
• For WooCommerce orders, we now also support Zineps pickup points.
• When reporting shipments back to CCV Shop, we now also provide the carrier so that the webshop can generate the correct track & trace link.
• Within a receipt, we now also remember the location or container for receiving all products. Additionally, scanning unexpected products works faster as well.
• When creating a return, we no longer automatically add cancelled products from the orders.
• When processing returned products from multiple returns at once, you can now also choose to add stock to a container or the linked product location.
• Within a return, you can now easily view and cancel backorders for replacement products.

We have also fixed the following issues:

• Product labels can once again be printed from all tabs on the product page.
• When adding products to a Purchase order or receipt, the search field is no longer reset when switching between 1 supplier and all suppliers.
• Within a receipt, we no longer allow reverting a received product if this would result in negative free stock.
• When importing an order from Magento 2 or WooCommerce, we now take into account the setting 'house number on a separate address line', so that the customer address is always stored correctly.
• When creating a return, we now always use the complete address of the order or customer, instead of a combination of both.
• When fulfilment customers create a purchase order via the API, the preferred warehouse is now also selected.

Due to the summer season, this changelog is arriving a bit later than you're used to from us. But we haven’t been idle. Besides many small improvements, we recently launched Packaging, which was enthusiastically received by many of you.

Packaging

At the packing table, it can be tricky to determine which packaging you need for an order. Will it fit in a box? Is it okay to use an envelope? That uncertainty costs time and often leads to unnecessarily large shipments.

That’s why we recently launched Packaging. This feature makes it easy to quickly choose the right packaging and gives you insight into usage. Many customers are already using this feature. Curious? Check out the announcement and video about Packaging

Other improvements

• Picking batches with many products is now much faster in the app.
• You can now directly pause a picklist in the app when a shipment can’t be created due to an error.
• In the wizard, new locations now always get at least 2 characters in the name, even if you create fewer than 10 locations per level. This helps prevent issues when scaling in the future.
• The comment field now automatically expands. Handy for comments with lots of text or lists, so you can see everything you typed at once.
• Notes on purchase orders now use the same post-it style as customer notes on orders.
• You can now set a webhook for importing an order from a webshop. You can also use the API to query orders and filter returns by fulfilment customer.

Additionally, we've fixed the following issues:

• Shipments with UPS to the United States work again via SendCloud. The 'state' is now properly included when creating the shipment.
• Shipments to Ireland work again via SendCloud. We ensure that the required customs information is always included.
• The stock strategy is once again editable from the product page.
• When creating an order, we now only show warehouses that actually fulfill orders.
• Transfers are no longer unintentionally executed multiple times.
• When linking a location, we always select the correct warehouse.
• You can now send purchase orders again to suppliers with quotation marks in their names.

Once again, we’ve made several small improvements to make your work easier.

• When selecting a pick location, we now also prioritise temporary locations. Curious how location selection works exactly? Read more
• You can now set which product fields you want to see on a Receipt.
• In the portal, fulfilment customers now have better insight into (purchase) orders, backorders, and shipments.
• The ‘Most Returned Products’ report now also includes products with the status ‘Received’.
• It’s now possible to create and edit containers via the API. More information

We also fixed the following issues:

• In the app, remarks are now shown for picked products as well, not just products to be picked.
• Under portal settings, you can now select all active warehouses for stock levels, not just warehouses that fulfil orders.
• On a cancelled order, we now show the original totals at the bottom instead of 0.

No major updates this time, but small improvements that make your daily work a bit easier:

• Missing orders due to an issue in your webshop? You can now fix this yourself by importing all unknown orders from the past 48 hours. And is the stock level in your webshop incorrect? You can now also send your stock levels to your webshop yourself.
• In Rules, you can now set the condition "Order time" in 10-minute intervals. This gives you more control over cut-off times.
• In a stock count, you can now see who created it.
• In the user overview, you can now search.
• When counting a location, you can now enlarge product images.

We’ve also fixed a few issues:

• When receiving products fails, we now clearly indicate what went wrong and prevent you from having to re-enter everything. Additionally, products are no longer mistakenly linked to the same available location.
• When importing products into an order, we now always use the correct prices from the selected price list.
• When correcting stock from a count, we now check whether you're allowed to link locations and whether it's an exclusive location.
• When changing a product to a type that cannot be purchased, the supplier information is now automatically cleared.
• When an order contains canceled products, this is now shown at the bottom in the totals.
