The first release of the year is packed with new features and functionality!
Our users have more transparency than ever, to control expiring stock batches, selecting alternative sources of supply. As well as full flexibility on choosing the right safety stock policy for their business.
We offer users to try Beta features through a simple enable/disable setting, the first beta feature available is performance improvement in items and reports, that brings updated user interface for column and filter selection.
Stock Expiry
Managing perishable goods adds complexity to inventory management and AGR is here to help. By adding the best before dates through custom data mapping, users can now control the inventory batches that have expiring stock.
Order calculations: take future expirations into account, to ensure non-expired stock availability.
Visibility: Expiring units can be seen in the item details
Preventive data: Analytical columns have been added to reports/orders:
Stock expiry - next date
Stock expiry - total quantity
Stock expiry - total value
List of available vendors
Depending on the supplier market, alternative vendors may exist for your products. If they do, securing prices and setting up the available vendors in you system will give options and thereby a sense of control.
Whenever you need, navigate to the item card details, click on the (i) icon next to the Order From and see a full list of available suppliers, for that item
A pop up window will appear displaying the available information per vendor.
To order from alternative suppliers, navigate to orders and create a new order from there.
Safety stock policy:
We added two new types of safety stock policies, configurable globally and on the item level through the item card and/or bulk update:
Statistical Safety Stock - this is the safety stock option that has existed for a long time and remains functionally the same. It combines statistical uncertainty and service level targets with the length of the order period, available for customers subscribed to the Order Pro package
Safety Stock Units - specifies the number of units to hold in safety stock.
Standard Data mapping = safety stock units field in ERPs is by default mapped into this field.
Safety Stock Days - a new option that is always in sync with the upcoming demand. Here the user can set 10 days of safety stock for an item, and the safety stock will be the sum of demand over the next 10 days.
Scheduled Orders shown in Item Card
The Item schedule is now displayed in the item card - details tab.
It's a read-only view of scheduled orders helping you track from the item level how the scheduled orders have been set up.
Scheduled Information at a glance:
Displays scheduled orders if they exist; otherwise, the calendar remains empty.
Multiple scheduled orders are indicated with multiple colors.
Interactive Calendar:
Clicking the calendar opens a view of the entire year, in read only mode.
Clicking the top text (title) redirects to the Scheduled Orders page, to the item's associated scheduled order.
from where the user can edit the scheduled order if needed.
Beta features
We are excited to offer users the option to try out new features before they are officially released.
Navigate to Beta features > enable selected features. Users can disable beta features at any point.
To begin with, users can try out our performance enhanced grid in items and reports.
With the new beta feature users will see a change in how the columns and filters are selected. Now there are separate icons, one for columns, and another for filters. Previously these were combined under view settings. See the below gif, and an article here
Improvements
ABC Warehouse (setting)
We improved the ABC warehouse calculations, applicable when the ABC location settings are enabled.
Now the ABC calculations per warehouse, are based on total sales per item that have an order route to the warehouse.
Integrations launched a new standard connector to F&O erp systems.
Min Display stock can now have custom data mapping
Safety stock policy is now available as a column in items and reports.
Order exceptions
when the order period exceeds the forecasted time horizon.
when the order quantity is rounded down to zero using the Order Multiple threshold.
Stock out smoothing, following a stockout period AGR will bridge the first 7 days of sales after re-stocking. This is now a settings option that is by default on and set for 7 days.
Angular upgraded from version 17 to 19. Improving the performance of the initial frontend load.
Other fixes and improvements
Minor changes were made in the system to improve stability, performance, and user experience.
