ComCept has released a new advanced report!  It is the last report on the Purchasing tab.

• 24 Month Item Usage Analysis (Export only format) - A export only, flat file, style report used to aid purchaser in locating spikes and trends. 

ComCept has released two new reports:

• Combined Invoice report – Generates a save-able, email-able, print-able version combining already created Invoices per customer or ship to within a batch or date range.  It does not include hazmat information, payments, or signatures.  This report can be found on the POS tab of advanced reports.
• Slow Moving Inventory report - Prints Purchase and Transfer Order Receiver detail by item for specified sales/usage range and dates with other selection criteria.  It is used to determine where slow moving items were purchased showing vendor, date, PO#, Receiver#, and cost so vendor returns can be prepared.  This report can be found on the Inventory tab of advanced reports.

We have successfully released a new enhancement to OrderLinx. It is now possible to give your OrderLinx customers a permission named, "ExtranetCustomer_OrderVendorLocationChange". This permission allows OrderLinx users to specify which of your warehouses should fulfill the order.  You will now see a location selection on the Orders page, where new orders are added, and if the new permission is available, the Order location can be changed.

• Check for mobile updates automatically in the application once a day.  These checks were performed only once upon login, so users who stayed logged in for long periods of time were not being notified of updates.
