Notes for Release 4.0.19.0

hpCommerce Orion Release Notes


Build 4.0.19.0

Released January 17, 2018


Improvements to existing Features

  • Invoice Number added to Customer Statement - for lines on a customer statement that are for voided invoices the invoice number has been added to the statement line for the void.  This makes it easy to understand the relationship between the voided invoice and the original invoice.
  • Motor State daily update service updated - Orion now supports new data that Motor State is providing in their daily update service that Orion integrates to.  The new data is ShipAlone and MotorStateNotes.  The ShipAlone data is being mapped to the Ships in Own Box flag on Shipping Options on the Part Maintenance form.  This information is automatically passed to a Yellow Hat Web website to help with order processing and freight rating.  These options are found at [L-L-O].  The MotorStateNotes are being mapped to Orion's Sell-Up field on the Part Maintenance form [L-L].  These notes pop-up when an item is added to a Sales Order and are great information to help you understand additional, important information about an item.
  • Phone Number has been added to the Who Bought it Export.  When the results of a Who Bought are exported it now includes the current, primary phone number for the customer.  The current primary phone number for the customer has also been added to the form.  Who Bought It is accessed via [L-N].
  • Deleting an Un-Processed PO.  It is no possible to delete a PO that has not been processed yet.  Un-processed PO's now appear on [M-S-D] so that they can be deleted.
  • Purchase Order Printing Suppression - it is now possible to suppress the printing of various data fields on a Purchase Order.  The fields PriceExtended, Total Parts, Total Labor, Sales Tax, Freight, Discounts, Payments and PO Total can now be suppressed from printing.  An option has been added to [S-F5] that would ask: Suppress Printing of Pricing on PO? Yes/No/Ask (NO is default).  This can be set so that you can control how you want the printing of PO's to be done.  Additionally PO totals for Sales Tax, Discounts and Payments have been removed from the PO printout.  And to improve readability a light grey line has been added between each line on the Purchase Order printout.  The ability to control if this data prints on a PO can help you to block information flowing to certain vendors.  An example may be a fabrication or plating shop that does not need see cost information.
  • Costed Bill of Materials report - the BOM printout has been enhanced to be a Costed Bill of Materials report.  This report is found at [M-D-D].  True Cost and an Extended Cost has been added to the report.  The Extended Cost is totaled at the bottom of the report.
  • Yellow Hat Update Logging Enhanced - error logging for item updates from Orion to Yellow Hat has been enhanced to add the PLC and Partnumber of any items having an issue.  Additionally the error log is attached to the update email that is received whenever there is an error.
