February 2026

This months release brings a faster, smarter order grid

🚀 Orders 2.0 – A Faster, Smarter Order Grid

We’re excited to introduce Orders 2.0, a major upgrade to the Order Grid designed to improve performance, reliability, and flexibility—while keeping the familiar look and feel you’re used to.

This update lays the foundation for future enhancements, making Orders more responsive and easier to maintain behind the scenes.


✨ What’s New

Server-Side Grid for Better Performance

The Order Grid now runs server-side, enabling:

  • Faster data handling

  • Improved scalability for larger datasets

  • More reliable sorting and filtering

Because of this change, the Sync button has been removed. Data updates automatically as part of the new architecture.


🔗 Direct Links to Orders & Views

You can now:

  • Link directly to a specific order

  • Share a link to a specific saved view

  • Add quick filters directly in the URL

Supported quick filters include:

  • Manual

  • Scheduled

  • Allocation

  • My Orders

  • Last 24 Hours

  • Quantity > 0

This makes collaboration and navigation much easier.


🧠 Faster Quantity Updates

When editing quantities:

  • Qty (Base Units)

  • Qty (Order Multiple)

  • Qty (Purchase Units)

These fields now update instantly in the grid (calculated client-side).

Other related fields will refresh automatically once backend calculations are complete.

Additionally, rows are no longer locked during quantity edits, allowing for smoother workflows.


🗂 Info Sidebar Improvements

The Info Sidebar has been refreshed and now:

  • Is saved per user

  • Is stored locally (instead of per order view)

  • Remains consistent across sessions


🔧 Behind the Scenes Improvements

While the design remains largely unchanged, Orders 2.0 includes major technical upgrades:

  • More independent and resilient components

  • Improved responsiveness

  • More robust automated testing

  • Improved foundation for future performance optimizations

  • Infrastructure prepared for loading only the data shown in the grid (coming improvements)

These changes make the system more stable and ready for future enhancements.


🚩 Feature Flag

Orders 2.0 is released under the feature flag:
ordersV2

If you have any questions or would like assistance enabling the new version, please reach out to our support team.


January 2026

We released flexible order creation settings within scheduled orders

🚀 Release Notes

2026 is here and we are off to a great start!

✨ New features & improvements

✅ Scheduled Orders – Order creation based on columns

A thoroughly tested beta feature is now released, providing the option to have a scheduled order, that creates multiple orders on a given date,

Under Scheduled orders settings, the orders can be created based on 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

Why this matters:

  • More flexibility in how AGR creates the scheduled orders

  • Less overhead & maintenance, Users can set up a central scheduled order, that creates multiple orders.

✨ New: Computed Columns in AGR Insights (Pro)

We’ve introduced Computed Columns in items and reports, giving you the flexibility to build what you need, when you need it. With this release, you can calculate custom metrics using simple formulas (for example, stock units on hand + incoming undelivered orders), and:

  • Create multiple custom numeric columns per report

  • Use simple math operators and brackets

  • Add comments for clarity

  • Choose how results are displayed (integer, decimal, currency, %)

Why it matters

Supply chains are complex, and no two are the same. With Computed Columns, we’re empowering you to stay agile and focus your analysis on what matters most—at every stage of your inventory optimization journey.

Computed Columns are saved at the report level and are available for Insights Pro customers.


🛠 Bug fixes & other changes

Performance improvements

  • Significant speed improvements when recalculating items in the Item Card

  • Example improvement:

    • BOM item recalculation reduced from 2–3 minutes to just a few seconds


December 2025

We enabled multiple transfer order routes for Allocations and gave the settings pages a face lift

🌟 What’s New

  • Allocations order route enhancement

  • Settings page received a face lift

  • Special order item is now available as an order view column & filter

Allocations enhancement

We added on to the newly released Allocation feature by linking them to the order route setup. Enabling any internal location to allocate stock from or to, in line with what is specified in the initial order route setting page.

Settings received a new look and feel

Our beloved settings became more user friendly to work with.

Functionally they remain the same. A nice little new feature is that you can now search all settings in the top-right corner to help you find the setting you’re looking for

Special Order item transparency

Special order item is now available as a column and filter in the order view

🛠️ Fixes and improvements

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


November 2025

We released a brand new Allocation feature and information on the last purchase order received date.

🌟 What’s New

  • Allocations

  • Last Purchase Date

🚀 New Feature: Allocation Orders

We’ve added a powerful new transfer order type — Allocations — that lets you transfer stock seamlessly between your internal locations. Whether you’re moving stock from available inventory or allocating incoming purchase orders, this feature helps you plan and execute transfers with ease.

Allocations streamline internal stock movements by allowing you to:

  • Create transfer orders between internal locations.

  • Allocate stock from either Available Stock or Incoming Purchase Orders.

  • Review and adjust proposed allocations before confirming.

  • Split quantities automatically or manually across multiple destinations.

📅 Last Purchase date

For reporting purposes, we now fetch the latest transaction from your ERP's purchase order received history, so you can now display and filter around when an item was last received as incoming stock.

🛠️ Fixes and improvements

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


September 2025

We released the server side grid, advanced filter, Sales plan import, sales order logic at the sku level and location types.

🚀 New Features & Improvements

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

✨ Advanced Filters 2.0

Advanced Filters have been completely rewritten, bringing more flexibility and fixing limitations from the previous version. Key improvements include:

  • Support for custom columns and safety stock columns

  • A clearer empty state when no filters are applied

  • New UI components to make creating filters easier

📘 Documentation on how to write new advanced filters can be found here: [Documentation for new advanced filters]


Sales Plan Import via ADI

You can now import third-party data directly into sales plans through custom integrations.

  • Imported data will override the sales plan, making it appear as if it was edited manually.

  • Data must be imported at the daily level (every single date needs a value). If you plan at the monthly level, values must be distributed to daily data before importing.

  • Data needed: Item no, Location, Date, Value

  • NULL values (e.g., missing dates) will default to using data from the forecast.


🔀Conditional Order Logic at SKU Level

You now have more flexibility when managing order conditions. Previously, the Conditional Order Logic setting could only be applied globally via Settings → Orders, affecting all items at once. With this update, you can now set the logic at the SKU level directly in Item Details.

For each SKU, the Sales Orders field can now be defined as:

  • Never – exclude the item from sales orders.

  • Always – always allow the item on sales orders.

  • Conditional – apply rules only under specific conditions.


🏬Location Types: Warehouses and Stores

We’ve introduced Location Types to help you organize and report on inventory more effectively.

In Settings → Locations, you can now define whether each location is a Warehouse or a Store.

While the current impact is mainly in reporting, this foundation enables upcoming improvements, including:

  • Customer Group Planning – available only for warehouses.

  • Enhanced Closure Logic – soon you’ll be able to mark locations as Closed for Purchasing (stop new stock) while still managing existing inventory, or fully Closed.

  • Rule-Based Settings – for example, applying different safety stock policies for warehouses vs. stores.


👉📊Server Side Grid

We officially launch the new Server-Side Grid, which has until now been available as a Beta feature.

The Server-Side Grid powers the updated experience for Reports and Items. This upgrade is part of our ongoing work to future-proof AGR with key technical improvements, ensuring the platform can support larger and more complex customer needs with greater speed and reliability.

Other fixes and improvements

  • The Order Origin column in the order grid now shows the report name when orders are created inside a report (previously this was missing).

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


August 2025

This month we enhanced the order constraints; scheduled orders; order multiple threshold and total sales transparency

🚀 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.


June 2025

This months release brings Locations settings enabling users to control stock transparency and BOM demand processing

Vendor tab

The brand new vendor tab brings an overview, KPI's and delivery statistics over your supply base. The depth of vendor information will depend on your package subscription, read all about it in these vendor tab articles IQ package Insights Package

Lead time Analysis

We know the world is ever changing and supply chain disruptions have become the norm. To help you navigate and mitigate, we built a dashboard that measures supplier's on time performance.

March 2025

We added adjustment to available transfer stock, two new functionalities around safety stock days, transparency to item card planning.

Release News

We are excited to share our latest release news where we added transparency to item card planning, a combined safety stock approach, where you can select the Max of safety stock units or statistical calculations.

Transparency to the Sales Plans in the Item card

For users planning demand through the item card, we brought to you clarity on user changes. While we were at it, we optimized the performance so you can expect the new plan tab to be amazingly fast.

Indication of a change

On the below image, the cell for May has a user override, indicated by the green bold line on the left side.

Transparency to the original value

To see the original overwritten value, the user can hover the mouse over the cell, and the value will appear to the side, see image below.

Safety stock new features

We added new functionality where users can choose to use 'Max of ss statistical & ss units' available to subscribers of the Order Pro package

We then introduced global setting options to define the number of days to hold as safety stock. one to rule them all, another in line with each item's importance.

Safety stock days settings

The first option is under settings > forecast > safety stock policy. Choose Days > and fill in the number of safety stock days.

The global setting will be the default number of days if it hasn't been overridden on item level or through the ABC matrix.

Safety Stock Days ABC Matrix

The other setting option is in line with each item's importance via ABC classification.

Similar to how the statistical safety stock is globally set.

Navigate to Settings > ABC

At the bottom of the page, users can define how many days to hold as safety stock.

When an order is placed the safety stock days will calculate demand from the day of the order and x many days of demand looking forward.

Max Of: Statistical and Safety Stock Units

For subscribers of the OrderPro package, we now offer a combined safety stock approach, where AGR will dynamically compare the safety stock units (mapped or entered in) with the statistical safety stock.

For example, a user selects this option and sets 10 pcs as safety stock units on a new item, triggering replenishment needs.

Once the item starts selling, the statistical safety stock kicks in and is likely to outgrow the units, securing agile safety stock re-evaluation as the item goes through different lifecycle stages.

Automatic transfer order adjustments

We introduce automatic adjustment to available stock This is part of the Order pro package

Available transfer stock is released under feature Flag, to activate: please contact our customer success team through the chat.

Adjust to available transfer stock

When internal locations, stores or sub-warehouses order from the main warehouse There is a chance that the warehouse has less stock than the stores need, to mitigate we offer the option to adjust order quantities to match what is available.

This only works on Scheduled orders in the daily job (for now). Later on we will add this to manual orders as well.

This feature is by default off. To enable the feature, navigate to settings > Orders > Automatic Order adjustments

There are three methods to distribute the available transfer stock.

  1. Method 1. The replenishment need of each internal location is calculated into a ratio. The available stock is then divided by the demand ratio.

  2. Method 2. The location with the highest demand gets all they need, if there is more stock to give, the next location get's their need fulfilled, etc.

  3. Method 3. Available stock is divided equally between the locations, through one order multiple at a time, starting with the location with the highest demand.

Bug fixes

  • Value aggregation should be avg no sum on stock availability columns.

  • Bulk update shouldn't allow 0 for order multiple ( causes divide by zero errors)

  • Time zone, item chart, planner,

Other fixes and improvements

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

January 2025

AGR now offers users to try Beta features, tracks best before dates, displays a full list of available vendors per item and launched two new Safety stock options

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:

  1. 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

  2. Safety Stock Units - specifies the number of units to hold in safety stock.

    1. Standard Data mapping = safety stock units field in ERPs is by default mapped into this field.

  3. 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.



December 2024

We launched promotional smoothing for improved forecast calculations, and the option to create an order from a scheduled order when needed.

New Features

Promotional smoothing

Promotional periods boost sales and if not smoothed down, the increase in sales can distort the forecast going forward. Therefore we introduce promotional smoothing as a part of forecasting in AGR.

Promotional smoothing uses sales periods preceding promotions to estimate how sales might have been without the promotional influence. We then override the promotional sales period with the regular sales forecast, finetuning the input that goes into the forecast calculations, thereby influencing the forecast to reflect regular demand going forward.

AGR relies on information from the ERP system to identify past promotional periods for each item, enabling the automatic application of promotional smoothing.

Scheduled orders enhancements

In a perfect world the order schedule is carved in stone, in the real world however buying needs present themselves whenever they please.

We love to help, and have therefor added the shopping cart in the top right corner of the scheduled order section. The shopping cart is there, waiting patiently until you need to create an order, that has been scheduled at a different date.

The default behavior is to calculate an order quantity that will last until the next scheduled order will arrive. Optionally the user can change the next order date in the schedule impacting both the next scheduled order date and the order calculations of the manual order being created.

Scheduled order - Multi filter option

Because businesses need flexibility, we now enabled two filters to be added more than once, these are "item no" and item name, to apply detailed filter rules to achieve the right buy mix.

For example if item numbers including signs such as # or start with X, should be excluded from regular ordering, then select these filter as many times as needed.

Improvements

  • System status message window was slightly changed

  • Order line information: Min stock, cost price columns are now available

  • Extra decimal places for weight and volume

  • Bom Demand tab: Decimals are now in place for quantity in recipe

  • Forecast improvement - when a customer is excluded in Data management, all subsequent items will get an invalid forecast status, so that orders created afterwards will have up to date forecast.

  • Order status updated when split by constraint is applied

  • Translation database enhancements

Bug fixes

  • Order lines for items no longer in AGR causing errors in order transfer

  • Time zone fixed when using date filter

Other fixes and improvements

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


November 2024

We streamlined the manual order transfer workflow, and enabled e-mail notifications for notifying when a scheduled order is ready for review

Manual order transfer workflow

For the delight of our users that don't use the order transfer module, we now introduce a default confirm order menu to support downloading an order to excel instead of relying on a order transfer pipeline.

After confirming the order it is moved to the status "Transferred" and the user has the ability to select an order there and re-download it if needed.

Order columns

When reviewing orders, users have more information columns available now:

  1. "Created at"

  2. Demand for order period

System status shown in navigation bar

In case anything failed in the night job, users will now see a red dot on the heart icon in the navigation bar, from where they can go directly into Data refresh and restart the daily job. see more here


E-mail notifications now available for scheduled orders

Get an e-mail every time AGR has created a scheduled order, notifying the user that an order is ready for review, see more here


Configure ERP integration in Data Management

A new tab called Integration where the users can configure erp connections to systems that have “plug and play” connector in AGR. To start with, this only includes connector to BC public cloud but configuration to other connectors will follow in upcoming releases

New Items can now get a daily forecast calculation

Phasing in new items is always tricky, and AGR is here to help!

For new items, that have either never sold or have their first sales date within the last 3 months. These items have the option to receive daily forecasts.

When this setting is enabled, as soon as the item starts selling, AGR will incorporate all sales within the current week or month and scale up to a full month, to capture sale trends during the critical item launch period.

Performance

Order grid performance changes should speed up loading the order grid

Other fixes and improvements

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


October 2024

AGR brings you BOM transparency in the item card, visualizing which items drive the component BOM demand.

BOM demand

For the delight of users working with Bill of Materials, we introduce the BOM Demand tab in the Item card

It provides a visual breakdown of the BOM demand, as well as numeric transparency with information about how much quantity is in each recipe.

Allow custom columns in order route exception rules

In the name of flexibility, Users can now add exceptions to the order route definitions, with filters on custom columns.

Reports

We are excited to enhance our reporting capabilities for analytics. Now users can save any report with grouped/ sorted / pinned / specific width columns, applied. This helps users share diagnostic information with the same "set of eyes" where previously these settings were user specific and could not be saved with the report.

Improvements

This month's releases bring a new way for you to track demand from location along with improvements to our most powerful features.

Welcome distribution demand

Unified inventory management just got easier with the introduction of the Distribution Demand tab in the item card. The tab shows you exactly how much future demand will come from the stores that your distribution centres replenish.

You can see the data as either a graph and pie chart or a grid in tabular form. When you make changes to an item's demand forecast from stores, refresh the data to apply those changes in the distribution demand from the distribution centre. Learn more in our full article.

Advanced data management is here!

AGR introduces a more streamlined way for you to control your data. The new Data Management area in Settings lets you control how AGR imports and shows items, customers, vendors and lead times.

April 2024

We freshened up the UX/UI and added options to the Item Card.

Improvements

To keep up with last month's big release, we added a dropdown for locations to the Item Card and updated our icons throughout the system.

New dropdown

The location dropdown in the Item Card allows you to quickly switch from location to another to view location specific information for the selected item.

Fresh icons

We updated the icons throughout the system with a new look. The icons have same functions as before, but look slightly different. For example,

  • Old icons

  • New icons

March 2024

AGR now lets you transfer between locations thanks to this major release.

The March releases are full of features and improvements to make it possible for you to transfer between your locations in AGR.

Flexible order routes

You can now define transfer and order routes as primary or available order routes for locations in AGR in the Location Setup using exceptions to primary order routes. You can create exceptions by filtering on

  • Item Group Level 1

  • Item Group Level 2

  • Primary Vendor

Primary order routes

You can configure whether items in the location are generally replenished through purchase orders or transfer orders. Drag and drop exceptions to order them by priority and adjust lead times as needed.

In the example below, the AGR location Warehouse - East primarily orders directly from vendors through purchase orders. However, items that belong to the DIY/Hardware and Electronics item group levels 1 are replenished to Warehouse - East via transfer orders from the AGR location Warehouse - West.

The example below shows the AGR location Store - London with a primary order route that transfers items from Warehouse - East. For items from the Item Group Level 1 of Accessories with primary vendors of adidas or Amazon, there is an order exception saying that these items should be ordered direction from the vendor.

Available order routes

Available order allows you to add optional order routes for items that you can later select from a dropdown menu when ordering. This allows you the flexibility you need to set up multiple order routes.

Read more about how you can use this new feature to set up your own order routes in our full article.

Order routes in Item Details and Bulk Updates

Once the order routes are set in the Location Setup, you can use Item Details or Bulk Updates to override

  • Lead Time days

  • Order Multiple

  • MOQ

  • Quantity per Pallet

  • Quantity per Layer

The default replenishment type automatically comes from the Order Route settings in the Location Setup process. You can pick from the available order routes from the dropdown menu, allowing you to tailor your orders to specific items.

For Transfer routes, you can also change the Order From field.

It is not possible to override the Order From field for Purchase routes.

Find out more about overriding transfer and order routes in our article.

No stock available

To help you allocate your stock efficiently, we introduced a new setting to let AGR know what you want to do if there is no stock available to be transferred from a location. Witch on the Adjust transfer orders when no stock is available setting to tell AGR to automatically adjust orders to zero when there is no stock available at the transfer location

Regardless of whether it is set off or on, an order exception of No stock available will appear in any order line where there is no stock at the transfer location for that order.

When the Adjust transfer orders when no stock is available is off, then the order quantity will not be adjusted to zero when no stock is available.

When the Adjust transfer orders when no stock is available is on, then AGR will automatically change the order quantity to zero when no stock is available to transfer.

Improvements

Item Card toolbar

We streamlined the toolbar in the Item Card to make it easier to read and less cluttered. All the functions you love are still there, but are now easier to find.

Bug fixes

We continue to improve our data connections between AGR and your ERP. Now lead time information from NAV and BC maps more precisely in AGR.

Other fixes and improvements

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


February 2024

We increased the performance of several features this year and gave you more data transparency with stock breakdown.

Stock breakdown

Stock breakdown gives you and overview of how many units of stock you have in which locations. Found in the Item Card Details, Stock Units shows all units of that item currently on hand.

Click on the information icon (i) to see the breakdown of units on hand by AGR and secondary locations.

The information icon (i) will only appear if you have created secondary locations in the Location Setup.

Improvements

Almost all of the improvements this release come from user feedback. Thanks for sending in your ideas!

Create a new report

We streamlined how you can create a new report in the Reports area. Select the items you want to include in the report and click on the save icon in the toolbar to save the new report.

Data mapping

We improved data mapping from your ERP to AGR in two ways.

  • If your ERP has a closed for ordering field, it is now mapped into AGR.

  • If you have safety stock at the SKU level in Nav or BC, it is now mapped as min stock in AGR. If you do not have SKU-level safety stock, then the data is still mapped at the item level.

Archived orders

Orders that have not been updated in the past 8 days will be archived regardless of when the original order was created.

Bulk Update

Bulk Update is now faster than ever thanks to performance improvements. We also added two fields

to Bulk Update so you can change them in multiple items at one time.

Other improvements
