News: Big updates to our Purchase Orders module!

• Over the next few weeks, we’ll be rolling out some exciting new features and enhancements within our Purchase Orders module.

New Features:

• Parts Pending Purchase Module
  • We’ve added a new "Parts Pending Purchase" view to the Purchase Orders module.
  • When using Order Line statuses in Fixably, out-of-stock items are assigned a “Pending Purchase” status.
  • Previously, it could be difficult for logistics users, purchasers and technicians to find exactly what items needed to be ordered.
  • The new Parts Pending Purchase view solves that problem by amalgamating all parts that need to be purchased. Users can conveniently create a Purchase Order directly from the pending purchase view.
• Purchase Order Tracking Numbers:
  • Added a new feature where Tracking Numbers can be added to Manual Purchase Orders.
  • Once your supplier provides the tracking information, users can edit the PO and add as many Tracking Numbers as are required.
  • These are then visible in the Purchase Order View.

Updates to Existing Features:

• Fixably Booking App:
  • Added a new section to System Settings > Booking App, where you can define a “Good to know” disclaimer.
  • This is useful if you have extra information you want customers to be aware of before coming in for their appointment
    • Example: data backups, time expectations, costs, etc.
• GSX Integration:
  • Added non-serialized product serial number (ZZ802222OWP) that is used in Apple’s AC Adapter Program.
• Fixably API:
  • The repeat repair flag is now available in the Orders endpoint.
    • GET /orders/orderId
    • isRepeatRepair - true/false

Bug Fixes:

• Fixably Camera App v1.0.5:
  • Fixed an issue when using the app horizontally on iOS devices.
• Cost Estimates:
  • Fixed an issue where cost estimate options were not translated to the correct language.
• User Tagging:
  • Notes with a User tagged will now default to being an internal note
    • This change is to ensure this communication does not appear on custom printouts or in the portal.
  • Fixed an issue where, if an order had a tagged note and the technician was changed, the notification incorrectly moved from the tagged user to the new technician.
• GSX Integration:
  • Fixed an issue where GSX purchase orders were not updated with substitute parts under some circumstances.
    • If in-stock parts were used in a GSX repair, POs were not updated with substitute parts if the Order had already been completed.
  • Fixed an issue where Fixably did not set the Order status to Awaiting Parts once it was released from Local Approval.
  • Fixed an issue where Battery-only pricing could be synced to an Order line under certain situations.
• Fixably Paperless:
  • Fixed an issue with signing documents when using an additional printout language.
• Stripe Integration:
  • Fixed an issue where confirmed payment notifications were not received when Portal Payments were taken as a deposit.
• Customer Portal:
  • Fixed a secondary issue where Orders could be created without the Device Model under specific conditions.
• Macros:
  • Fixed an issue when using the "note.create" macro step in an automation where the snippet ID would be visible rather than the text.
  • Fixed an issue with the "invoice.create" macro step where the outstanding invoices were incorrectly marked as paid.
