November 2026 - Release News

This release brings improved access controls and new capabilities for the AGR AI Connector, making it more flexible to connect your AGR data to AI tools.

We've also introduced several usability improvements and bug fixes to make everyday inventory planning smoother and more reliable.

✨ New Features

🔐 AGR AI Connector – More control over access

We've introduced additional access controls for the AGR AI Connector (MCP Server), giving administrators more flexibility to manage who can connect AGR to external AI tools.

Access can now be managed at three levels:

  • Tenant level: Enable or disable the AI Connector for your entire AGR environment.

  • Role level: Define which user roles are allowed to connect.

  • User level: Enable or disable access for individual users.

A user must have access enabled at all three levels to connect.

Good to know: Existing users and roles retain access by default, provided the connector is enabled for the tenant. Administrators can adjust permissions as needed.

🤖 AGR AI Connector – Explore demand data across multiple items

The new get_demand_series tool makes it easier for connected AI assistants to analyse demand across multiple items at once.

The tool provides access to demand information including:

  • Statistical forecasts and Sales Plans

  • Promotions and open sales orders

  • BOM and distribution demand

  • Total demand

For example, you can ask your AI assistant:

"Which items have both a promotion and open sales orders next month?"

Your AI assistant can retrieve the relevant demand data across your inventory, helping you identify patterns, investigate upcoming demand and make more informed planning decisions.

The tool supports filtering, different time periods and large datasets.

🔗 Easier connections to Claude and ChatGPT

Connecting Claude and ChatGPT to the AGR AI Connector is now simpler, with support for OAuth Client ID Metadata Documents (CIMD).

This removes the need for manual client registration while maintaining secure access through your individual AGR login and permissions.

🛠️ Improvements

We've made several improvements to make everyday workflows smoother and information easier to access.

Navigation and usability

  • Share direct links: Copy and share links to specific views, including Vendor Card tabs, Item History, Item Schedules, Item Advisor reports and AI Sales History.

  • Export Item Card data: Export the Item Card grid directly to Excel.

  • Search scheduled order owners: The Owner dropdown now supports searching by name or email, making it easier to find the right person.

  • Improved list formatting: Channels, Channels with Sales, BOM Parents and BOM Components now have clearer, more consistent formatting.

  • Improved Item Info layout: Open Sales Orders now display in a more compact table, preventing overlapping or wrapped information.

Planning and demand visibility

  • More precise demand figures: Demand for Order Period and Demand Next 30 Days now display decimals, making small demand quantities visible instead of appearing as zero.

  • Better change tracking: Comments added or edited in Sales Plans are now recorded in Item History.

  • Clearer Max Stock setting: We've improved the setting description to make its purpose easier to understand.

Data management and monitoring

  • Better Data Refresh visibility: Partial and full daily job runs are now clearly identified on the Data Refresh page. Partial runs do not affect the warning indicator.

  • Improved Data Management layout: Expanded item groups no longer overlap other page elements.

  • Simplified Customers view: Removed the No. of Items and Sale Qty columns from the Customers page.

🐛 Bug Fixes

We've resolved several issues to improve accuracy, performance and reliability.

  • Item filtering: Improved Item Number lookup performance for environments with large item catalogs.

  • Computed Columns: Aggregation settings are now retained when moving, resizing or pinning columns.

  • Login and password reset: Resolved an issue preventing some users from signing in or resetting their passwords.

  • Scheduled Order dates: Custom order dates before the first recurring date are now correctly reflected as the next order date.


Keep exploring AGR!

These updates give you greater control over AI connections, better visibility into demand and a smoother everyday inventory planning experience.
