New Enhancements Streamline File Import and Integration Capabilities

Several key updates have been introduced to improve file import workflows, integration flexibility, and system compatibility across the platform.

File Import Upgrades

Users can now upload multiple files simultaneously when manually selecting files for import in the Integration Queue, significantly improving efficiency in bulk operations. Additionally, a new Start from Line field has been added to the File Settings page in Smart Toolbox. This feature is especially useful in Spider integrations, offering greater control over how file data is processed during import.

System Compatibility and External Integration Improvements

A new dependency has been introduced, requiring Business Central v26.0 for continued compatibility and access to the latest features.

In the External Systems module, the character limit for the Field Filter field on the Field Filters page has been increased. This change allows for more complex and descriptive filtering criteria, enhancing integration precision and flexibility.

These updates collectively enhance the platform’s usability, integration control, and readiness for future system requirements.

System Enhancements Improve Contract Management and Credit Memo Handling

A series of recent updates have introduced significant improvements to contract and billing workflows, addressing both functionality and flexibility in financial operations.

Credit Memo Fixes and Enhancements

A critical issue that previously prevented credit memos from being posted when consumption lines were included has now been resolved. This fix ensures smoother processing in complex billing scenarios where both the credit memo and the related contract lines contain consumption data.

Additionally, a new field—Create Credit Memos for—has been added to the Contract Setup page. This allows users to specify whether credit memos should be generated from orders, invoices, or both when the amount to invoice is negative. The older Create Credit Memos field is now obsolete and will be removed in a future release. During upgrades, the new field will default to “Invoice” if the old setting was enabled.

Contract Header Flexibility

To support more tailored payment arrangements, a new Payment Terms Code field has been added to the Contract Header. This enables users to override the default payment terms set on the customer card. If left blank, the system will continue to use the customer card’s terms.

Improved Date Preview in Contract Setup

Users now have the ability to change the date used in the Date Preview FactBox on the Contract Date Setup page. Previously fixed to the first day of the month, this date can now be customized, making it easier to preview how date configurations will affect contract behavior.

Number Series Reliability

Two issues related to number series have also been addressed. One fix resolves problems encountered when using number series for contract items, while another corrects issues with relationship number series on contracts.

These updates collectively enhance the precision, control, and reliability of contract and billing operations, offering users a more robust and adaptable system.

In an exciting development for users of Eagle, a series of enhancements have been introduced to improve functionality and efficiency.

Among the highlights is the ability to preview PDF reports directly within the application. This new feature allows users to open and review reports seamlessly without needing to download them, streamlining workflow and saving time. For instance, on the Queue Entries page, users now have the option to select the Preview PDF action or simply double-click a line to access the report instantly.

Another notable improvement in Eagle is the addition of the “Allow Multiple Instances” field on the Workflow Automations page. This capability empowers users to enable multiple instances of the same workflow to run simultaneously, offering greater flexibility and responsiveness in managing processes. However, users are advised to exercise caution, as concurrent instances might lead to potential confusion.

Eagle users will also benefit from a newly introduced report with Object ID 70337391, named Post Fixed Asset Journal, providing a streamlined way to manage asset-related entries.

Additionally, performance enhancements in User-defined KPIs now make calculations such as Min, Max, Distinct, Duplicate, Sum, and Time significantly faster, greatly increasing efficiency in data analysis tasks.

Lastly, Eagle now includes a dependency on Business Central v26.0, further aligning the platform’s capabilities with modern standards. These updates collectively promise a more robust, user-friendly experience, ensuring that day-to-day operations are executed with speed and simplicity.

We are thrilled to announce a series of exciting updates and enhancements in the latest Qpick release, designed to boost efficiency and streamline your operations.

Support for warehouse pick is now available, ensuring smoother and more efficient picking processes in your warehouse operations.

New fields—IsBatch, IsSerial, and IsBestBefore—have been added to the responses when calling GetItemsByStocklocation and GetStocklocationsByItem. This enhancement provides richer data insights and better tracking capabilities.

A new function has been introduced to validate data in Business Central for compatibility with Qpick, ensuring seamless integration and data accuracy.

A new setting called Assembly Available To Pick has been added to the Location settings. When enabled, this feature performs an availability check during the creation of picks that include assembly orders. If components are unavailable, the pick line will not be created, preventing errors and delays.

The handling of Purchase Orders without a Bin Code on the line in Qpick preview has been optimized. Now, if the Bin Code is empty, the default bin is automatically assigned, allowing for smoother order retrieval.

Qpick will now always send a barcode for the Base Unit of Measure. If the barcode is missing, the item number will be sent instead, ensuring consistent and accurate item identification.

New Feature for Marking Manually Posted Entries on the Swedish Tax Agency Entries Page

We have added a new field called Manually Posted on the Swedish Tax Agency Entries page. This feature allows you to mark lines as manually posted.

This is particularly useful when starting smart Swedish VAT in an existing company. By importing all lines and marking those already posted in the system as manually posted, you can ensure everything is in its place. But also if you were a bit too exited and posted transactions manually without the help of Smart Swedish VAT.

Flexible Invoicing Periods in Parrot

We are excited to announce a new feature that allows you to choose when invoices are created, separate from the period being invoiced. This enhancement makes it easier to handle both advance and arrears billing, giving you more control over when documents and planning lines are generated.

Key Contract Dates in Parrot

The contracts in Parrot include the following dates:

• Contract Date: The date when the contract was created.
• Start Date: The date when the contract/contract line starts (not possible to invoice before this date).
• End Date: The date when the contract/contract line ends (not possible to invoice after this date).
• Next Period Start: The date when the upcoming contract period begins, for the contract/contract line.
• Next Action Date: The date when the next document or planning lines for the contract should be created and issued.

Important Note

The Next Period Start was previously called Next Posting Date. The field has changed its caption but retains the same functionality (if no Date Setup Code is specified on the contract). The Next Action Date is used in the Create Documents/Planning Lines From Contracts batch job to filter which contracts to process. The batch job previously used the Next Posting Date. If no Date Setup Code is specified on the contract, the Next Action Date is always the same as the Next Period Start date.

Improved Sorting of Invoice Lines

We have also improved the sorting of invoice lines on invoices created from project planning lines, making it easier to manage and review your invoices.

Enhancements to Queue Processing and Job Management

In the latest update, Eagle has added new features designed to enhance user experience and efficiency.

One of the notable additions is the Direct Queue Processing feature on the Eagle User Setup page. This functionality allows users to initiate queue entries directly in the background, eliminating the necessity for scheduled job queue entries. This is particularly advantageous for Delegated Administrators, who have limitations on using Scheduled Tasks.

Another significant update is the introduction of the Restart Recurring Job Queue Entries report, identified by Object ID 70337390. This report provides users with the capability to restart scheduled job queue entries that are in an error state, ensuring seamless job management and minimizing disruptions.

These enhancements reflect Eagle’s commitment to providing robust and user-friendly solutions for effective job and queue management.
