Ability to print invoices in bulk
You can now select multiple orders on the Order List Screen or Open orders from the Outlet’s Sales History tab to print invoices for all the orders at once.
Outlet and Group On hold toggle and behaviour
You can now use the “On Hold” Toggle on an outlet to prevent orders being placed for certain outlets and groups.
Putting an Outlet On Hold
On an outlet the toggle can be found on the Settings Tab.
When you put an outlet on hold you are given the option to add a reason for the hold. This will be shown with the details of when the outlet was put on hold and who by.
On save you will be shown a list of orders that are open for the outlet and will be given the option to cancel the orders or leave them open.
When an Outlet is On Hold you will not be able to create orders for it and when viewing the outlet or any remaining open orders for the outlet you will see grey alert banners showing that the outlet is On Hold and the reasons for it.
Putting an Outlet Group On Hold
Putting a group on hold offers much of the same functionality as putting a single outlet on hold. Putting an outlet group on hold will put all of the Outlets within the group on hold too. You can add a reason when putting the group on hold and this will be displayed when visiting any outlets within the group.
New Out of Order Container Status
We’ve introduced a new Container Status called “Out of Order” which can be used when tracking containers to signify that a container has been removed from the regular use cycle.
As with all status’ a container can go from any status to “Out of Order” and can go from “Out of Order” to any status. The system will believe and save the last piece of information it was given.
When you change a container in and out of the “Out of Order” Status you will be given the opportunity to update the container notes so that you can keep track of the reason that the container is classed as “Out of Order” and what has been done to make it fit for use again.
Bulk collect Proof of Dispatch from Couriers
If a courier has to collect multiple orders, getting their signature for each order can be a long process. You can now gather signatures, photos and add notes to multiple orders at once.
To do this, open the courier who is collecting orders, mark the items on each order as delivered and then click the “Bulk Collect Proof of Dispatch"
You will then be given a list of orders to be dispatched all of which are selected by default. Unselect any orders that are not being dispatched and continue.
You can then collect a signature, name, proof of dispatch images and add any notes. Data entered here will be applied to all the orders that were selected.
Tasks on Calendar
Calendars were introduced in BrewMan at launch they showed details of and allowed scheduling of sales visits. We’ve now enabled any tasks with a date, time and duration will also to appear on the sales calendar.
Tasks will appear on the Calendar in Green and Sales Visits will appear in Blue.
Tasks without times will not appear on the calendar.
