Release Notes - March 25 2025
Categorized attributes are now available in all Paragon modules. Plus, automated purchase cost fallbacks for more accurate POs.
Table of contents
This update focuses on organization and automated accuracy. We have expanded our categorized attribute system to every corner of Paragon and refined our vendor pricing logic to ensure your purchase orders always have the correct financial data.
-
Universal attribute categories: Organize your custom data fields into groups across every module and transaction tab.
-
Smart pricing fallbacks: Purchase orders will now automatically use the default item cost if specific vendor pricing is not found.
New features
Categorized attribute panels for all modules
Following the successful launch in the product and customer modules, we have expanded categorized attributes to every screen in Paragon. This includes all transaction more tabs. You can now group your attributes into pre-defined categories, allowing you to collapse or expand data sets. This keeps your screens organized and makes finding specific information much more efficient.

Improvements
Automated purchase cost fallbacks
To ensure your financial documents are always accurate, we have improved our vendor pricing logic. If you are using the price book but haven't set a specific value for an item from a particular vendor, Paragon will now automatically apply the item's default purchase cost. This prevents purchase orders from being created with empty line values, saving you from manual corrections later.
Bug fixes
-
Screen setup stability: Fixed an issue where screen setup modals would occasionally open with empty attributes.
-
Customer switching: You can now successfully change the customer on a transaction even when the price book is active, providing more flexibility during order entry.
Categorized attribute panel for all modules in ParagonERP
A few updates ago we added new functionality to the attribute panels in the product and customer modules. We have now added this feature of grouping attributes by pre-defined categories to every screen in the system, including all transaction more tabs. This will help organize your data and make looking for information more efficient.
Purchase Cost will be used if price book values are not set
We released our take on vendor pricing a while back and it has been great for helping our clients easily apply item costs based on which vendor they are being purchased from. We've recently improved this feature by applying the default item purchase cost when no price book values have been set for that item. This way your purchase orders are not incorrectly created without line values.
Here's a list of bugs we've eliminated with this update:
- Screen Setup modals no longer open with empty attributes
- Customers can now be changed on transactions even if the price book is active
