[1.5.0] - 2026-03-18

Added

  • Storage Charges: Full storage billing with monthly, weekly, and split monthly frequencies; supports per-pallet, per-case, per-square-foot, and per-container dimensions with tiered rate cards
  • Sales Rep Field (CRM): Assign a sales representative to each customer record; sales rep appears in customer details, creation/edit forms, and the sales report template with subtotals by rep

  • Dynamic Storage Classes: User-defined storage classifications replacing hardcoded values; manage custom storage types from the Settings interface
  • Per-Warehouse Timezone: Configure timezone per warehouse for accurate report generation and date/time display; timezone affects all date-sensitive operations within that warehouse
  • Document Extract for Bulk Upload: Intelligent document parsing integration that extracts structured data from uploaded files (PDFs, images) to pre-populate bulk upload fields
  • Invoice Enhancements: Bill To address support for third-party billing, document attachments on invoices, and improved PDF rendering with multi-page overflow support
  • Picklist Cancellation: Cancel partially-picked pick lists with automatic inventory reversal; allocated quantities are released back to available stock
  • Equipment Number in Inventory: Inventory list now shows Equipment # column linked to the originating receiving order for freight traceability
  • Manual Location Search: Search locations by code, aisle, or zone in the Smart Location Selector during putaway; complements auto-suggest and barcode scan modes
  • Manual LPN Barcode Lookup: Scan or search for specific LPN barcodes during the putaway selector step
  • Lot-Level Allocation Cards: Manual allocation modal now displays lot-level inventory cards showing lot number, expiration date, and available quantity per lot
  • Lot Number in Order Creation: Specify lot numbers during order creation to filter allocation to specific lots
  • Reusable Page Header: Modernized page header component used across all list pages with consistent layout and actions

Changed

  • Precision Craft Design System: Modernized UI theme with updated color tokens, improved table horizontal scrolling, and pinned select/action columns for better data table usability
  • Inventory CSV Export: Export now includes all rows across all pages instead of only the current page view
  • Report Improvements: Currency formatting in financial reports, hidden internal columns from report output, stricter number parsing, and timezone-aware date filtering
  • Table Column Improvements: Orders page now shows Qty & Total column; select and action columns are pinned during horizontal scroll

Fixed

  • Location "In Use" Status: Fixed false "In Use" indicators by returning actual inventory count from the location search endpoint
  • Multiple Customer Data Filters: Inventory queries now correctly support multiple customer data filters for users with access to several customer accounts
  • Lot Number Receiving: Prevented lot number overwrite when receiving the same product with different lots on a single receiving order
  • Allocation Fixes: Resolved manual allocation failure for multi-lot inventory; added non-null assertion for serial numbers in allocation closure
  • Picking Accuracy: Prioritize user-scanned lot number over allocated inventory ID; pass lot number through the full pick flow to resolve correct inventory record
  • Negative Allocation Prevention: Fixed double-decrement bug that could cause negative allocated quantities
  • Dashboard Accuracy: Replaced hardcoded inventory value with real calculation; fixed order status values used in dashboard queries

[1.4.0] - 2026-02-10

  • Multi-LPN Pick Support: Display all LPNs from multi-LPN picks in the shipment loading interface with per-LPN quantity details
  • LPN Warning Badges: Visual HAZMAT (orange), FRAGILE (purple), and EXPIRING (red) indicators on LPN cards

Changed
