New features and bug fixes every two weeks. Come back here to check out what's new.
Here's what we've been working on to make ParagonERP work better for you.
Features and Improvements
An automation rule was created to automatically create relevant Purchase Orders in TEMP status when a Sales Order is issued. The Purchase Orders are generated using the default vendor for the items on the order as well as the associated purchase price. The rule can be extended to check the stock of products to determine the number of items to be purchased. The rule can also be extended to purchase materials based on an associated BOM (Bill of Materials).
An 'Outstanding' column has been added to the order module. This displays any quantities that have not yet been shipped. As each item is shipped or reduced from the order, this quantity will be updated.
Additional features have been added to the rules engine.
- All rules can now take advantage of the data stored in associations.
Some examples: Users can be prevented from issuing Sales Orders based on customer specific pricing, Purchase Orders can be generated using the most advantageous Vendors, given volume discounting for each one. - You can now create rules based on line information. For example: A line discount cannot be added to reduce the line value below 0$ thereby creating an unintentional credit.
Bugs
In the Person module, the code names were getting cut off. This has been corrected.
There was a bug that was causing the number of products in Paragon to adversely affect the speed of the add product browse window. This has been corrected.
Reports were being cached in the web browser. This meant that when new data was added, it not appear on the report because browsers were keeping a local copy. Even though Direct discovery on BI was working properly, it did not appear that it was. A mechanism was implemented to force a user's browser to always download the newest version of the report. The reports are small enough in size that no significant performance impact has been observed.
Design improvements
To enter G/L Periods, Tax Setup & Exchange Rates you had to go in the Codes module. This has been moved to the settings icon.
