Updated over 2 weeks ago

🚀 New Features & Improvements

We’re excited to share the latest enhancements designed to give you more control, flexibility, and insight into your ordering workflows.

📊 Order Constraints: Now with Custom Columns

Order constraints are a powerful way to streamline the order process and now they’re even more flexible. You can now use numeric custom columns (e.g. integer, decimal, currency) to constrain your orders.

  • If you'd like to enable this feature for your setup, please reach out to your Customer Success Manager.

  • Currently, this feature supports regular constraints only and is not compatible with split-by constraints.

  • These custom columns appear in the order grid as a factor of order quantity, making them eligible for constraint logic.

🔄 Order Multiple Threshold: Smarter Rounding Options

Ordering in multiples—like “10 per box”—is common, but rounding up can sometimes lead to overstock. That’s where the Order Multiple Threshold setting comes in.

  • By default, order quantities round up to the next multiple.

  • The threshold setting allows rounding down unless a minimum percentage of the multiple is met.

  • This helps reduce excess inventory, but may risk stockouts for low-demand items.

New Behavior Option

You can now choose to always order at least one multiple, while still using the threshold percentage to guide rounding decisions.

To configure this, go to Settings → Orders and select the rounding behavior that best fits your inventory strategy.

📅 Scheduled Orders: More Control, More Flexibility

We’ve expanded Scheduled Orders to support more advanced scenarios:

✅ Create Orders Based on Columns

With the feature flag enabled, you can split orders by one or more of the following:

  • Item no

  • Item group 1

  • Item group 2

  • Responsible

  • Estimated delivery date (available in the system prior to this change)

  • Any custom column

Contact your customer success manager if you're interested in enabling this feature.

🏬 Support for Multiple Locations

Now you can create a single Scheduled Order for multiple locations—e.g., all stores ordering from Vendor 1. This reduces order lines and simplifies vendor coordination.

🚫 Exclude Filters for Locations & Vendors

You can now apply exclude filters to Scheduled Orders. For example:

  • Store 1 → Vendor 2 (Every weekday)

  • Store 1 → Vendor 2 (Every Thursday, excluding certain items)

This gives you more granular control over recurring order logic.

🧪 Beta Features

We’re excited to introduce two new beta features designed to make ordering and analysis even more powerful:

Split Orders by Constraints

Splitting orders by constraints has been rebuilt for the cloud and is up to 100x faster than the legacy version, navigate to beta features to enable it in your system. Available to customers with the Order package.

View Total Sales in Item Charts

Get a clearer picture of how items are selling across your business with the new Total Sales view in item charts,

After enabling the beta feature, navigate to Settings → Locations, and choose which locations should have the total sales visible.

Once enabled, the item card in the location enabled will display total sales.

Other fixes and improvements

  • Minor changes were made in the system to improve stability, performance, and user experience.
