Features

Product Category Import - Standard for Standalone/Drive - only available from Root

We have added an import feature on a global level that allows you to categorize uncategorised products efficiently. This tool helps streamline the process by enabling you to upload files and automatically assigning the products to the correct categories, ensuring that your catalogue remains organised and up-to-date.

Add Setting For Attributes - add-on

The feature that allows the addition of CNET/1WS attributes to manually added products in Nettailer is currently globally active. This feature is available as an add-on.

Supplier stock classification (Warehouse>Supplier) - add-on

Based on the selected supplier, each product may have a different expected delivery time. For instance, some suppliers with local stock may offer a 1-2 day delivery window, while others shipping from abroad could take 5-7 days. With this feature, you can categorize your suppliers accordingly, and the appropriate delivery timeframe will be displayed to the end-customer in the shop based on the supplier's classification.

We have added a widget for purchase orders, which by default displays failed purchase orders. This feature helps users quickly identify and address any issues related to purchase orders that have not been successfully processed.

Manufacturer Image Fallback - Standard for Standalone/Drive - only available from Root

A new logic has been implemented for products that do not have content from 1WS (or any global/local image). If a product lacks its own image, the system will now use a fallback image from the global manufacturer. This ensures that even products without specific content or images still display a relevant image tied to the manufacturer, enhancing product presentation across the store.

Exclude Bids From Sales Price Calculation - add-on

A new feature now enables the ability to exclude bids from being factored into the sales price calculation used in the shop. This applies to both regular and global bids and is also compatible with the "Automated Bid Mappings" add-on feature, offering greater flexibility in pricing strategies.

Suppliers

Option to Include Purchase Price for EET

Currently, EET receives their purchase price in the XML order only when a BID or Verva is present. With this update, there is now an option to always include the purchase price, regardless of the presence of a BID or Verva.

Preferred Supplier Highlighted

Preferred suppliers are now highlighted in the order editor. If a preferred supplier has sufficient stock for an order line, that line will be marked within the order editor. Additionally, preferred suppliers are consistently highlighted in the supplier selection process.

Minor Adjustments

Fixed Price Lists On Customer Summary

Fixed price lists have now been included in the customer summary/overview, providing a clearer and more comprehensive view of customer-specific pricing arrangements.

Property "Credit Blocked" Added To Customer

The Credit Block and Credit Block Date features have been added to the customer profile. These properties can be set both in the customer editor and through imports. When a credit block is activated for a customer, the block date and time are automatically recorded.

If a customer has an active credit block, a warning notification will be displayed in both the Order View and Order Editor. This notification will include the exact date and time when the block was activated. Additionally, the "Send Order Online" button will be hidden if the block is still active, preventing new orders from being processed.

"Keep Basket?" Prompt When Changing Customer

When a user switches between customers, it's generally not recommended to retain the current basket contents. To address this, a new feature has been introduced that triggers a popup when the user changes customers. The popup gives the user the option to either keep or discard the basket contents, ensuring a smoother and more transparent user experience when managing multiple customer profiles.

Quote Request ID Added To Email

The quote request system ID is now included in the email notification sent to administrators. This addition helps administrators easily track and manage quote requests by referencing the unique system ID in their email notifications.

Checkboxes for Filters

The search filters "Certifications" and "Designed For" currently occupy valuable slots in the category search. With this update, these filters will now also appear as checkboxes (default set to "on") beneath the category, freeing up space for other retailer-selected filters. "Designed For" and "Certifications" will still be available as dropdowns, allowing resellers to prioritise them higher within the category if desired. Additionally, we've added checkboxes that provide the option to remove the "Product Line" and "Model" filters from the category view.

Search Fields For Responsive Profile

For clients with multiple customer-specific profiles, we have now added search fields to streamline the process of finding profiles. This enhancement will make it easier to locate specific profiles efficiently, especially when there are pages of profiles to manage.

Always Show Supplier Comment Row enhancement to the ADD-ON “Supplier comments”

The supplier comment feature in the order line editor will now always be visible, even if the supplier does not accept comments. Instead of the row being hidden, it will be displayed but disabled, with a message indicating that the supplier does not accept comments.

Warning On Country Mismatch

A new warning has been added to the order editor. It will be shown if the delivery country and the invoice country differ, or if the delivery country and the default country differ. This helps ensure that users are aware of potential discrepancies in country details during the order process.

Visibility Options For Page Header

Page header sub-items now include visibility options, allowing you to control when they should be displayed. This functionality is similar to the visibility settings for front page sections, offering greater flexibility in managing the display of sub-items based on specific criteria.

Show Selected Supplier In Order Item Editor

The selected supplier's name is now displayed in the order item editor for the corresponding order item, providing clearer visibility and easier management of supplier information for each item in the order.

Display Currency Code For Some Product Editors

Cost prices and sales prices rows now display the corresponding currency code, ensuring clarity and accuracy when viewing pricing information in different currencies.

Quote Search Using Prefix

The quote search functionality in both the admin and frontend of Nettailer has been improved. It is now possible to search for quotes using the quote prefix (e.g., 'QU'). While the frontend quote number field already supported this, the recent update ensures that the free-text quote search in Admin now also recognises the quote prefix for better usability.

'Created By' in Quote Export

Allowing customers to export this field ensures they can retrieve relevant data, even if the admin who originally created the quote has been deleted. This feature enhances continuity and data access, maintaining transparency and efficiency in the system regardless of changes to administrative roles.

Enable Top Approver For SSO Without Manager

This feature assigns the top-level approver as the default approver for all users within a customer account. This ensures that approval processes continue smoothly in scenarios where no direct manager is assigned to a user, streamlining the workflow for SSO-enabled customers.

A new button has been added to both the admin and shop login pages, allowing users to easily redirect to the SSO (Single Sign-On) login page. This feature eliminates the need to remember the SSO URL. On the first use, the system prompts the user for their email, and the domain is then stored in a cookie with a 30-day time-to-live (TTL), ensuring a seamless login experience for future sessions.

Extra Columns in Product Range Limitations

We have enhanced the table overview of Product Range Limitations by adding two new columns: "Filter Type" and "Apply Only In". These additions provide more clarity and allow for easier management of product range settings.

HP Chat Facility

We have now integrated product data into the retailer data required for the HP Chat Facility provided by HP. To fully activate this feature, the reseller's unique JavaScript snippet (code) must be supplied by HP. This facility can be applied to only show in pages that contain HP products.

New Type For Mail Form Row

We have introduced a new field type called "DisplayText" in email forms, which allows you to add a line of text without an input field. This "DisplayText" option can be used to include additional information or section headers within the form.

Check If Order Is Updated Before Placing

We have added functionality that validates the order when it is placed to prevent issues caused by customer changes or added items in another browser tab before finalising the order. This ensures that the order remains accurate and consistent at the time of submission.

Salesperson To Pdf Quotes

We have now added the salesperson's information to the quote PDF, ensuring that the assigned salesperson is visible for reference in all generated quotes.

Search Product In Product Options And Groups

A new feature has been added that allows users to search for product options by specifying a product, as well as search for product option groups by specifying either a product or a product option. This enhances the ability to quickly locate relevant product configurations.

Category Information On Purchase Order Export

A new "Categorization" section has been added to the new Purchase Order XML (PurchaseOrderXmlVersion007). This section includes main and subcategory information, as well as the UNSPSC code, ensuring that categorisation details are available within the XML for more precise data handling and classification in purchase orders.
